any damaged parts before using the unit.
CAUTIONS FOR REFUELING AND FUEL HAN-
DLING
• Gasoline is highly flammable and can be
explosive under certain circumstances, creat-
ing potential conditions that can cause severe
burns. When refueling, perform maintenance,
drain the gasoline and / or when adjusting the
carburetor: stop the engine and allow it to cool
before refueling. DO NOT smoke near the re-
plenishment area.
• Make sure that the area is well ventilated and
that there are no flames or sparks, and that
there is no pilot light on any type of device.
• DO NOT overfill the fuel tank so that it is
above the maximum level indicator. If the tank
overfills, the heat can cause the fuel to expand
and spill through the vents in the fuel filler cap.
Immediately clean spilled gasoline.
• Motors can get extremely hot during normal
operation.
• To avoid burns, DO NOT touch the motor or
exhaust that has been heated. The motor over-
heats during operation.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR
CHAIN SAW USERS
WARNING:
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 operator. Either
of these reactions may cause you to lose control
of the saw, which could result in serious per-
sonal 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 of injury.
a) With a basic understanding of kickback you
can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise.
Sudden surprise contributes to accidents
b) 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 en-
gine 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.
c) Make certain that the area in which you are
cutting is free from obstructions. Do not let the
nose of the guide bar contact a log., branch, or
any other obstruction which could be hit while
you are operating the saw.
d) Cut at high engine speeds.
e) Do not overreach or cut above shoulder
height.
f) Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
g) Only use replacement bars and chains speci-
fied by the manufacturer or the equivalent.
