5. For safe operation

HANDLING FUEL

1. The engine of the ZENOAH product

is designed to run on a mixed fuel,
which contains highly flammable
gasoline. Never store cans of fuel or
refill the tank of the unit in any place
where there is a boiler, stove, wood
fire, electrical sparks, welding sparks,
or any other source of heat or fire
which might ignite the fuel.

2. Never smoke while operating the unit

or refilling its fuel tank.

3. When refilling the tank, always turn off

the engine and allow it to cool down.
Take a careful look around to make sure
that there are no sparks or open flames
anywhere nearby before refueling.

4. Wipe spilled fuel completely using a

dry rag if any fuel spillage occurs
during refueling.

5. After refueling, screw the fuel cap

back tightly onto the fuel tank and then
carry the unit to a spot 3 m or more
away from where it was refueled be-
fore turning on the engine.

TRANSPORTATION

1. When you finish cutting in one loca-

tion and wish to continue work in an-
other spot, turn off the engine, lift up
the unit and carry it paying attention
to the blade.

2. Never forget to place the protective

cover over the blades.

3. When hand-carrying the product,

cover over the cutting attachment if
necessary, lift up the product and
carry it paying attention to the cutting
attachment.

4. Never transport the product over

rough roads over long distances by
vehicle without removing all fuel from
the fuel tank. If doing so, fuel might
leak from the tank during transport.

KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
FOR CHAIN SAW USERS

WARNING

•

Kickback may occur when the nose
or tip of the guide bar touches an
object, or when the 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 towards the operator. Pinching
the saw chain along the top of the
guide bar may push the guide bar
rapidly back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause
you to Iose control of the saw, which
could result in serious personal in-
jury.

•

Do not rely exclusively on the safety
devices built into your saw. As a
chain saw user you should take sev-

eral steps to keep cutting jobs free
from accident or injury.

(1) With a basic understanding of kick-

back you can reduce or eliminate the
element of surprise. Sudden surprise
contributes to accidents.

(

2) Keep a good grip on the saw with both

hands, the right hand on the rear
handle, and the left hand on the front
handle, when the engine is running.
Use a firm grip with thumbs and fin-
gers encircling the chain saw handles.
A firm grip will help you reduce kick-
back and maintain control of the saw.

(3) Make certain that the area in which

you are cutting is free from obstruc-
tions. Do not let the nose of the guide
bar contact a log, branch, or any
other obstruction which could be hit
while you are operating the saw.

(4) Cut at high engine speeds.
(5) Follow the manufacturer’s sharpen-

ing and maintenance instructions for
the saw chain.

(6) Only use replacement bars and

chains specified by the manufacturer
or the equivalent.

WARNING

• Make sure the chain and sprocket are

correctly adjusted before operating the
pruner (see page 7~8 for adjustment
procedures). Never attempt chain ad-
justment with the engine running!

• Always make sure the cutting attach-

ment is properly installed and firmly
tightened before operation.

• Never use a cracked or warped guide

bar: replace it with a serviceable one
and make sure it fits properly.

• If saw chain should bind fast in a cut,
