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 part if neces-
sary, lift up the product and carry it
paying attention to the blade.
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
injury.
•
Do not rely exclusively on the safety
devices built into your saw. As a chain
saw user you should take several
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 32~35 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 a saw blade should bind fast in a
cut, shut off the engine immediately.
Push the branch or tree to ease the
bind and free the blade.
• Do not operate the pole pruner with
the muffler removed.
• When cutting a limb that is under ten-
sion, be alert for springback so that you
will not be struck by the moving limb.
• Always stop the engine immediately
and check for damage if you strike a
foreign object or if the machine be-
comes tangled. Do not operate with
broken or damaged equipment.
IMPORTANT
• Do not make unauthorized modifica-
tions or substitutions to the guide bar
or chain.
• Never allow the engine to run at high
RPM without a load. Doing so could
damage the engine.
• Keep the pruner as clean as possible.
Keep it free of loose vegetation, mud,
etc
