DO NOT start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and a planned 
retreat path from the falling tree. 

 

Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the engine is running. 

 

Before you start the engine, make sure that the saw chain is not contacting anything. 

 

Carry the chain saw with the engine stopped the guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and 
the muffler away from your body. 

 

DO NOT operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or not completely and 
securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the throttle control 
trigger is released. 

 

Shut off the engine before setting the chain saw down. 

 

Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and saplings because slender material 
may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance. 

 

When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back so that you will not be 
struck when the tension in the wood fibers is released. 

 

Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel mixture. 

 

Operate the chain saw only in well-ventilated areas. 

 

DO NOT operate a chain saw in a tree unless you have been specifically trained to do so.  

 

All chain saw service, other than the items listed in the user manual safety and 
maintenance instructions should be performed by competent chain saw service personnel. 

 

When transporting your chain saw, use the appropriate guide bar scabbard. 

 

DO NOT operate your chain saw near or around flammable liquids or gases whether in or 
out of doors. An explosion and/or fire may result. 

 

Do not fill fuel tank, oil tank or lubricate when the engine is running. 

 

USE THE RIGHT TOOL: Cut wood only. Do not use the chain saw for purposes for which 
it was not intended. For example, do not use the chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry, or 
non-building materials. 

 

The first time user should have practical instruction in the use of chainsaw and the 
protective equipment from an experienced operator. 

 

Do not attempt to hold the saw with one hand only.  You cannot control reactive forces 
and you may lose control of the saw, which can result in the skating or bouncing of the bar 
and chain along the limb or log. 

 

Never run the chainsaw indoors.  Your chainsaw produces poisonous exhaust as soon as 
the combustible engine is started, which may be colorless and odorless. To use this 
product can generate dust, mists and fumes containing chemicals known to cause 
reproductive harm. Be aware of harmful dust, mist (such as saw dust or oil mist from chain 
lubrication) and protect your self properly. 

 

Wear gloves and keep your hand warm.  Prolonged use of chainsaws exposing the 
operator to vibrations may produce white finger disease. In order to reduce the risk of 
white finger disease, please wear gloves and keep your hand warm. If any of the white 
finger symptoms appear, seek medical advice immediately. 

 

Drive in the spiked bumper of the chainsaw directly behind the intended hinge and pivot 
the saw around this point. The spiked bumper rolls against the trunk. 

 

Only chain, guide bar and spark plug can be replaced by the user himself. Always make 
sure you replace with correct material as stated in the specifications of the manual. 

6  KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 

 

KICKBACK  may  occur  when  the  NOSE  or  TIP  of  the  guide  bar  touches  an  object,  or  when 
wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. 
Tip contact in some cases may cause a  lightning-fast reverse  reaction, kicking  the guide  bar 
up and back toward the operator.
