For Safe Operation
Before operating the product
1. Before using our products, please read this manual carefully to
understand the proper use of your chainsaw.
2. Never operate a chainsaw when you are fatigued, ill, or upset, or
under the influence of medication that may make you drowsy, or if
you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
3. Operate the chainsaw only in well ventilated areas.
Never start or run the engine inside a closed room or building.
Exhaust fumes contain dangerous carbon monoxide.
4. Never cut in high wind, bad weather, when visibility is poor or in
very high or low temperatures. Always check the tree for dead
branches which could fall during the felling operation.
5. Use safety footwear, snug fitting clothing and eye, hearing and
head protection devices.
Page 8
For Safe Operation
6. Always use caution when handling fuel.
Wipe up all spills and then move the chain saw at least ten(10)feet
(three(3) m) from the fueling point before starting the engine.
7. Eliminate all sources of sparks or flame (ie. smoking, open flames,
or work that can cause sparks) in the areas where fuel is mixed,
poured, or stored.
Do not smoke while handling fuel or while operating the chain saw.
8. Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw when starting
the engine or cutting wood. Keep bystanders and animals out of the
work area. Children, pets, and bystanders should be a minimum of
30 feet (10m) away when you start or operate the chain saw.
9. Never start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing,
and planned retreat path from the falling tree.
10. Always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands when the
engine is running. Use a firm grip with thumb and fingers encircling
the chain saw handles.
11. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the
engine is running. Before you start the engine, make sure the saw
chain is not contacting anything.
Page 9
For Safe Operation
12. Always carry the chain saw with the engine stopped, the guide bar
and saw chain to the rear, and the muffler away from your body.
13. Always inspect the chain saw before each use for worn, loose, or
changed parts. Never operate a chain saw that is damaged,
improperly adjusted, or is not completely and securely assembled.
Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the throttle control
trigger is released.
14. All chainsaw service, other than the items listed in the Operator’s
Manual, should be performed by an authorized repair center (e.g., if
improper tools are used to remove the flywheel, or if an improper tool
is used to hold the flywheel in order to remove the clutch, structural
damage to the flywheel could occur which could subsequently cause
the flywheel to disintegrate).
15. Always shut off the engine before setting it down.
16. Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and saplings
because slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped
toward you or pull you off balance.
17. When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back
so that you will not be struck when the tension in the wood fibers is
released.
18. Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil or fuel mixture.
Page 10
WARNING
For Safe Operation
19. Guard against kickback. Kickback is the upward motion of the
guide bar which occurs when the saw chain at the nose of the guide
bar contacts an object. Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of control
of the chain saw.
KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR CHAIN SAW USERS
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 guide bar may push the
guide bar rapidly back towards the operator. Either of these reactions may cause you to
lose control of the saw which could result in serious personal 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 or injury.
(1) With a basic understanding of kickback you can reduce or eliminate the element of
surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.
Page 11
For Safe Operation
(2) 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
engine 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. Don’t let go.
(3) Make certain that the area in which you’re 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.
(4) Cut at high engine speeds.
(5) Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
(6) Follow manufacturers sharpening and maintenance
instructions for saw chain.
(7) Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the
manufacturer or the equivalent.

engine failing to start properly or in the engine failing to operate at its
normal speed, and for this reason you should always be sure to return
the unit to the normal operating mode if there is no danger of icing
occurring.
Stopping engine
1. Release the throttle lever to allow the engine to idle for a
few minutes.
2. Move the switch lever downward.
(1) Engine switch
Before proceeding to your job, read "For Safe Operation" section It is
recommended to first practice sawing easy logs. This also helps you
get accustomed to your chainsaw.
Always follow the safety regulations. The chainsaw must only be used
for cutting wood. It is forbidden to cut other types of material.
Vibrations and kickback vary with different materials and the
requirements of the safety regulations 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 applica tions to the P.T.O.
that are not 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.
Racing the engine with the chain seized in a cutaway can damage the
clutch system. 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 cut.
GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK
This saw is also equipped with a chain brake that will stop the chain in
the event of kickback if operating properly. You must check the chain
brake operation before each usage by running the saw at full throttle
for 1 or 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 no stop then replace the brake band and
clutch drum before use.
Page 21
WARNING
Sawing
It is extremely important that the chain brake
be checked for proper operation before each use and that the chain
be sharp in order to maintain the kickback safety level of this saw.
Removal of the safety devices, inadequate maintenance, or incorrect
replacement of the bar or chain may increase the risk of serious
personal injury due to kickback.
Felling a Tree
1. Decide the felling direction considering the wind, Iean of the tree,
location of heavy branches, ease of job after felling, and other
factors.
2. While clearing the area around the tree, arrange a good foothold
and retreat path.
3. Make a notch cut one-third of the way into the tree on the
felling side.
4. Make a felling cut from the opposite side of the notch and at a
level slightly higher than the bottom of the notch.
When you fell a tree, be sure to warn your neighboring workers of the
danger.

Warranty
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR REQUIREMENTS
The owner is responsible for the proper use and maintenance of the engine. Ardisam, Inc.
recommends that all receipts and records covering the performance of regular maintenance
be retained in case questions arise. If the engine is resold during the warranty period, the
maintenance records should be transferred to each subsequent owner. Ardisam, Inc. reserves
the right to deny warranty coverage if the engine has not been properly maintained; however,
Ardisam, Inc. may not deny warranty repairs solely because of the lack of repair maintenance
or failure to keep maintenance records.
Normal maintenance replacement or repair of emission control devices and systems may be
performed by any repair establishment or individuals; however, warranty repairs must be performed
by an Ardisam authorized service center. Any replacement parts or service that is equivalent in
performance and durability may be used in non-warranty maintenance or repairs, and shall not
reduce the warranty obligations of the engine manufacturer.
The warranty on emissions-related parts is as follows:
• Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the owner's
manual supplied, is warranted for the warranty period stated above. If any such part fails during
the period of warranty coverage, that part will be repaired or replaced at no charge to the owner.
Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
• Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the owner's manual sup
plied, is warranted for the warranty period. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty
will be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
• Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the owner's
manual supplied, is warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point
for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part will be repaired or
replaced at no charge to the owner. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be
warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for the
part.
• Add on or modified parts that are not exempted by the Air Resources Board may not be used.
The use of any nonexempted add on or modified parts by the owner will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. The manufacturer will not be liable to warrant failures of warranted
parts caused by the use of a nonexempted add on or modified part.
