Handling of Fuel
•
The engine of this product is designed to run on a mixed fuel which contains highly flammable
gasoline. Never store cans of fuel or refill the fuel tank 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.
•
Smoking while operating the product or refilling its fuel tank is extremely dangerous. Always be
sure to keep lit cigarettes away from the product at all times.
•
When refilling the tank always turn off the engine first and take a careful look around to make sure
that there are no sparks or open flames anywhere nearby before refuelling.
•
lf any fuel spillage occurs during refuelling, use a dry rag to wipe up spills before turning the engine
back on again.
•
After refuelling, screw the fuel cap back tightly onto the fuel tank and then carry the product to a
spot 3m or more away from where it was refuelled before turning on the engine.
Before Starting the Engine
•
Check working place, the cutting object and cutting direction. If there is obstacle, remove it.
•
Never start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing and a planned retreat path from
the falling tree.
•
Use caution and keep bystanders and animals out of the working area, which is a diameter of 2.5
times the length of the cutting object.
•
Inspect the machine for worn, loose, or damaged parts. Never operate the machine that is
damaged, improperly adjusted, or is not completely and securely assembled. Make sure that the
saw chain stops moving when the throttle control trigger is released.
Starting the Engine
•
Always hold the machine firmly with both hands whenever the engine is running. Use a firm grip
with thumb and fingers encircling the handles.
•
Keep all parts of your body away from the machine when the engine is running.
•
Before starting the engine, make sure the saw chain is not in contact with anything.
Operation
•
Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil or fuel mixture.
•
Never touch the muffler, spark plug or other metallic parts of the engine while the engine is in
operation or immediately after stopping the engine. Doing so could result in serious burns or
electrical shock.
•
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 to ensure that you won't be
struck when the tension in the wood fibers are released
•
Check the tree for dead branches that could fall during the felling operation.
•
Always shut the engine off before setting the chainsaw down.
Kickback Safety Precautions
•
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 lose 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 kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise.
Sudden surprises contribute 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 fingers
encircling the chain saw handles. A firm grip will help you reduce kickback and maintain control
of the saw.
