English (Original Instructions)

 

Maintain a proper grip on the saw whenever the engine 

is running. The fingers should encircle the handle and 

the thumb be wrapped under the handlebar. This grip 

is least likely to be broken (by a kick-back or other 

sudden reaction of the saw). Any grip in which the 

thumb and fingers are on the same side of the handle 

is dangerous because a slight kick of the saw can 

cause loss of control.

 WARNING

Do not operate the throttle trigger with your left hand 

and hold the front handle with your right hand. Never 

allow any part of your body to be in the chain line while 

operating a saw.

PUSH AND PULL

See figure 19.

The reaction force is always opposite to the direction the 

chain is moving. Thus, the operator must be ready to 

control the pull (A) when cutting on the bottom edge of 

the bar and the push (B) when cutting along the top edge.

NOTE:

 Your chainsaw has been fully factory tested. It is 

normal to find some slight lubricant residue on the saw.

PROPER CUTTING STANCE

See figure 20.

 

Balance your weight with both feet on solid ground.

 

Keep left arm with elbow locked in a “straight arm” 

position (B) to withstand any kick-back force.

 

Keep your body to the left of the chain line (A).

 

Keep your thumb on underside of handlebar (C).

BASIC OPERATING/CUTTING PROCEDURES

Practise cutting a few small logs using the following 

technique to get the “feel” of using your saw before you 

begin a major sawing operation.
1.  Take the proper stance in front of the wood with the 

saw idling.

2.  Accelerate the engine to full throttle just before 

entering the cut by squeezing the throttle trigger.

3.  Begin cutting with the saw against the log.

4.  Keep the engine at full throttle the entire time you are 

cutting.

5.  Allow the chain to cut for you; exert only light downward 

pressure. Forcing the cut could result in damage to the 

bar, chain, or engine.

6.  Release the throttle trigger as soon as the cut is 

completed, allowing the engine to idle. Running the 

saw at full throttle without a cutting load may result in 

unnecessary wear to the chain, bar, and engine.

7.  Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of the cut.

WORK AREA PRECAUTIONS

See figure 21. See figure 27 - 28.

 

Cut only wood or materials made from wood; no sheet 

metal, no plastics, no masonry, no non-wood building 

materials.

 

Never allow children to operate your saw. Allow no 

person to use this chainsaw who has not read this 

operator’s manual or received adequate instructions 

for the safe and proper use of this chainsaw.

 

Keep everyone – helpers, bystanders, children, and 

animals, a safe distance from the cutting area. During 

felling operations, the safe distance should be at least 

twice the height of the largest trees in the felling area. 

During bucking operations, keep a minimum distance 

of (4.5 m) 15 ft between workers.

 

Always cut with both feet on solid ground to prevent 

being pulled off balance.

 

Do not cut above chest height as a saw held higher is 

difficult to control against kick-back forces.

 

Do not fell trees near electrical wires or buildings. 

Leave this operation for professionals.

 

Cut only when visibility and light are adequate for you 

to see clearly.

ADJUSTING THE CARBURETTOR

See figure 22 - 24.

Before adjusting the carburettor, clean the air filter (A) and 

the starter cover vents (B). Allow the engine to warm up 

prior to carburettor adjustment. Refer to “Maintenance” 

later in this manual.
The carburettor is factory set and should not require 

adjusting. The carburettor will permit only limited 

adjustment of the “L” (Low Jet) and “H” (High Jet) needles. 

Any adjustment should be done by a service dealer.
Under no circumstances should the “L” (Low Jet) and 

“H” (High Jet) needles be forced outside the range of 

adjustment.
