1). Make sure the chain brake level is disengaged; (See Fig. 1a)
2). Place the chain saw on any suitable flat surface;
3). Plug the unit into the power source;
4). Grasp the front handle with your left hand. Thumb and fingers should encircle the
handle;
5). Grasp the rear handle with your right hand. Thumb and fingers should encircle the
handle;
6). Press the lock-off button with your right thumb, then fully press the switch trigger with
your index finger and hold in this position;
7). While the motor is running, activate the chain brake by rolling your left hand
forward against the chain brake lever; (See Fig. 1b);
8). Chain and motor should stop immediately.
NOTE: The motor will not start if the chain brake lever is in the engaged position.
WARNING: To reduce the time of exposure to vibration and noise, it is preferable to use
the machine with frequent breaks, and limiting the duration of continuous work.
WARNING: The vibration level during actual use of the chainsaw may differ from the
declared depending on what material is being cut with different factors of stem diameter
density and fibre composition to name a few.
The chain brake is a safety mechanism activated through the front hand guard. When
kickback occurs, the chain stops immediately through inertia. The following function
check should be carried out at regular
intervals. The purpose of the chain brake testing
is to reduce the possibility of injury due to kickback.
2.3.1 CHAIN BRAKE.
WARNING! If the chain and motor fail to stop when the chain brake is engaged,Stop
using immediately take the saw to the nearest authorised dealer. Do not use the saw if
the chain brake is not in proper working order.

2.3.2 OVERLOAD PROTECTION.
2.3.3 KICKBACK. (See Fig. 2)
To avoid kickback:
- Saw with guide bar at a flat angle
- Never work with a loose, widely stretched or the heavily worn out chain:
- Ensure chain is sharpened correctly:
- Never saw above shoulder height:
- Never work with the tip of the guide bar:
- Always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands
- Always use a low kickback chain:
- Apply the metal gripping teeth for leverage:
- Ensure correct chain tension:
2.3.4 GENERAL BEHAVIOR.
Always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands. Front grip with the left hand and rear
grip with the right hand. Fully
grip both handles at all times during operation. Never
operate the chainsaw using only one hand. Ensure the power cord is located to the rear,
away from the chain and wood and so positioned that it will not be caught on branches
or material
during cutting. (See Fig.2)
Overloading (e.g. blocking of the cutting blade, blade teeth jammed) causes the
machine to stop and the overload protector will be activated.
Kickback is the sudden backward/upward motion of the chain saw, occurring when the
chain (at the tip of the chain bar) comes in contact with a log or wood, or when the chain
becomes jammed.
When kickback occurs the chain saw reacts unpredictably and can cause severe injuries
to the operator or bystanders.
Particular attention must be given when sawing sideward, slanted or during length cuts,
as the spiked bumper usually can not be applied.
Use the chainsaw only with secure footing. Hold the chainsaw at the right-hand side of
your body. (See Fig.3a)
