WARNING! 

Prolonged exposure to vibrations can cause 

injuries and neurovascular disorders (also called “Raynaud's 

syndrome” or “white hand”), especially to people suffering 

from circulation disorders. The symptoms can effect the 

hands, wrists, and fingers and manifest with loss of sensitivity, 

numbness, itching, pain, and discoloring of or visible changes 

to the skin. These effects can be worsened by low ambient 

temperatures and/or by gripping the hand grips too tightly. If 

the symptoms occur, the length of time the machine is used 

must be reduced and a doctor consulted.

Checks During Work

• 

Checking the chain tension

The chain tends to stretch gradually as you work, so you need 

to check its tension frequently.

IMPORTANT!

 During the first period of use (or after replacing 

the chain), the chain tension must be checked more frequently 

due to settling of the chain.

m

WARNING! 

Never work with the chain loose, as it can 

be hazardous if the chain slips out of the guide rails.

To adjust the chain tension, follow the instructions in 

 

“Adjusting the Chain Tension” on page 11.

• 

Checking the oil delivery

IMPORTANT!

 Never use the machine without lubrication! You 

can check the oil level in the tank through the transparent 

gauge. Make sure you fill up the oil tank every time you use 

the machine. For best results, use only a good quality bar and 

chain oil designed specifically for use with chain saws.

m

WARNING! 

Make sure the bar and the chain are in 

place when you check the oil delivery.
Start the motor and check if the chain oil is delivered as shown 

below (Fig. 14).

Proper Cutting Stance

1. 

Weight should be balanced with both feet on solid 

ground. 

2.

  Keep your left arm and elbow locked in a "straight arm" 

position to withstand any kickback force (Fig. 15).

3. 

Your body should always be to the left of the chain line.  

Basic Cutting Procedures

1. 

Small trees up to 6 – 7 inches in diameters are usually cut 

in a single cut. Notch cuts determine the direction the tree 

will fall. 

m

WARNING! 

If the tree starts to fall in a wrong direction, 

or if the saw got caught or hung up during the fall, leave the 

saw and save yourself. 

m

WARNING! 

Periodically glance at the top of the tree 

during the back-cut to ensure the tree is going to fall in the 

desired direction. 

2. 

Practice cutting a few small logs using the following 

techniques to get the feel of using the saw before you 

begin a major sawing operation. 

3. 

Take the proper stance in front of the wood with the saw 

turned off. 

4. 

Squeeze the trigger and let the chain accelerate to full 

speed before entering the cut. 

5. 

Hold the saw with both hands firmly. Always keep your 

left hand on the front handle and your right hand on the 

rear handle so that your body is to the left of the chain 

line.

6. 

Keep the unit running the entire time you are cutting, 

maintaining a steady speed.
