ADJUSTING THE CARBURETOR
It is recommended to first practice sawing easy logs. This also helps to get accustomed to your unit.
Always follow the safety regultaions. The chainsaw must only be used for cutting wood. It is not
recommended to cut other types of matierials.
Do not use the chainsaw as leverage for lifting, moving or splitting objects. Do not lock it over fixed
stands.
It is not necessary to force the saw into the cut. Apply only oight pressure while running the engine at full
throttle.
When the chainsaw is caught in the cut, do not attemp to pull it out by force, use a wedge or a lever to
open the way.
Guard against Kickback (F18):
This saw is equipped with a chain brake that will
stop the chain in the event of kickback if operating properly. You must check the
chain brake operation properly. You must check the chain brake operation before
each use by running the saw at full throttle for 1 to 2 seconds and pushing the front
hand guard forward. The chain should stop immediately with the engine at full speed.
If the chain is slow to stop pr does not stop, replace the brake band and clutch drum
before use.
