Warning: Read all safety information, warnings and instructions. Failure to read safety information,
warnings and instructions can lead to fire, property damage or serious personal injury.

ensure that they do not play with the saw.
1)
Work area safety
a)
Keep the work area clean and well illuminated.
Cluttered and poorly lit areas invite accidents. Rags, clothing, cables,
gloves or other materials must not be left in the work area.
b)
Do not use the saw in explosive environments, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
The saw can create sparks which may ignite dust or fumes.
c)
Keep children and bystanders away from the area when you are using the saw.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2)
Personal safety
a)
Pay attention to what you are doing and use common sense when using the saw.
Never use the saw if you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. One moment of inattention while using a chainsaw may result in
serious injury.
b)
Wear protective clothing. Always wear safety glasses.
Using protective clothing such as dust masks, non-slip safety
shoes, helmets and ear defenders reduces the risk of injury.
c)
Remove all service tools/keys before starting the chainsaw.
A spanner or other tool which has been left on a rotating
part of the saw could result in an injury.
d)
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This will allow you to have better control of the saw
in unexpected situations.
e)
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothes and gloves away from
moving parts.
Loose-fitting clothes, jewellery or long hair could become caught in moving parts.

Do not force the saw.
Make sure that the saw is designed for the work you are about to perform. The saw must only be
used as described in this instruction manual.
b)
Do not use the saw if the power switch is not functioning properly.
Any saw that cannot be controlled by the power
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c)
Store chainsaws that are not being used out of children’s reach. Do not allow people who are unfamiliar
with chainsaws or these instructions to operate them.
Chainsaws can be dangerous if they fall into the hands of
inexperienced users.
d)
Properly maintain the saw.
Check for misalignment, binding of moving parts, broken parts or anything else which
might affect the operation of the saw. If any damage is noticed, have the saw repaired before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained saws.
e)
Keep the chain sharp and clean.
Properly maintained chains with sharp edges are easier to control.
f)
Use the saw, and any accessories in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.
Use of the saw for a purpose other than that for which it is intended could result in
a dangerous situation.

can lead to the saw chain fastening in an item of clothing or a body part.
•
Always hold the saw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle.
Never hold
the saw in any other way, it increases the risk of personal injury.
