• Before proceeding to
your job, read the sec-
tion “For Safe Oper-
ation”. It is recommend-
ed to first practice saw-
ing easy logs. This also
helps you get accus-
tomed to your unit.
• Always follow the safety
regulations. The chain
saw must only be used
for cutting wood. It is
forbidden to cut other
types of material.
Vibrations and kickback
vary with different mate-
rials and the require-
ments of the safety reg-
ulations would not be
respected. Do not use
the chain saw as a lever
for lifting, moving or
splitting objects. Do not
lock it over fixed stands.
It is forbidden to hitch
tools or applications to
the PTO other than
those specified by the
manufacturer.
•
It is not necessary to force the saw into the
cut. Apply only light pressure while running the
engine at full throttle.
•
When the saw chain is caught in the cut, do
not attempt to pull it out by force, but use a
wedge or a lever to open the way.
• GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK
!
WARNING!
•
This saw is equipped with
a chain brake that will
stop the chain in the
event of kickback if oper-
ating properly. You must
check the chain brake
operation before each
usage by running the saw
at full the throttle for 1-2
seconds and pushing the
front hand guard forward.
The chain should stop
immediately with the
engine at full speed. If the
chain is slow to stop or
does not stop, replace the
brake band and clutch
drum before use.
•
It is extremely important
that the chain brake be
checked for proper oper-
ation before each use and
that the chain be sharp in
order to maintain the kick-
back safety level of this
saw. Removal of the safe-
ty devices, inadequate
maintenance, or incorrect
replacement of the bar or
chain may increase the
risk to serious personal
injury due to kickback.
• FELLING A TREE
1. Decide the felling direction considering the
wind, lean of the tree, location of heavy
branches, ease of completing the task after
felling and other factors.
2. While clearing the area around the tree,
arrange a good foothold and retreat path.
