2. SAFE OPERATION
2.1. Keep your body warm, especially your head, neck, feet, ankles, hands and wrists.
2.2. Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous arm exercises during frequent work
breaks. Keep the saw chain sharp and the saw, including the AV (Anti-Vibration) system, well
maintained.
2.3. A blunt chain will increase cutting time, and pressing a blunt chain through wood will increase the
vibrations transmitted to your hands.
2.4. A saw with loose components or with damaged or worn AV buffers will also tend to have higher
vibration levels.
2.5. Limit the hours of operation.
2.6. All the above mentioned precautions do not guarantee that you will not sustain white finger
disease or carpal tunnel syndrome. Therefore, continual and regular users should monitor closely
the condition of their hands fingers. If any of the above symptoms appear, seek medical advice
immediately.
Before using our products, please read this manual carefully to understand the
proper use of your chainsaw.
Never operate a chainsaw when you are tired, ill, upset, or under the influence of
medication that may make you drowsy, or if you are under the influence of alcohol
or drugs.
Operate the chainsaw only in well ventilated areas. Never start or run the engine
inside a closed room or building or a poorly ventilated area. Exhaust fumes contain
dangerous carbon monoxide which can kill.
Never use 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.

Use safety and slip-resistant footwear, protective trousers, snug fitting clothing and
eye, hearing and head protection devices. Use the anti-vibration (AV) glove. It is
believed that a condition called Raynaud’s phenomenon, which affects the fingers of
certain individuals may be brought about by exposure to vibration and cold. Loss of
colour and numbness in the fingers. The following precautions are strongly
recommended because the minimum exposure which might trigger the ailment is
unknown.
Always use caution when handling fuel. Wipe up all spills and then move the chain
saw at least 3 metres from the fuelling point before starting the engine.
Eliminate all sources of sparks or flame (e.g. 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.
Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw when starting the engine or
cutting a wood. Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area. Children, pets,
and bystanders should be a minimum of 10 metres away when you start or operate
the chain saw.
Never start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and planned
retreat
path from the falling tree.
Always hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands when the engine is running. Use a
firm grip with thumb and fingers gripping the chain saw handles.
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.
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.
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.
All chainsaw service, other than the items listed in the Operator’s Manual, should be
performed by competent chainsaw service personnel. (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).
Always shut off the engine before setting it down.

Rev 2
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.
When cutting a branch that is under tension, be alert for spring back so that you will
not be struck when the tension in the wood fibres is released.
Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil or fuel mixture.
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.
When transporting your chain saw, make sure the appropriate guide bar cover is in
place. Securely place the machine during transport to prevent loss of fuel, damage or
injury.
KICKBACK
2.7. 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.
2.8. Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and
back towards the operator.
2.9. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards
the operator.
2.10. Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in
serious personal injury.
2.11. Do not rely exclusively on the safety devices built into your saw.
2.12. As a chain saw user you should take several steps to keep cutting jobs free from accident or
injury.
With a basic understanding of kickback you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise.
Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.
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.

Rev 2
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.
Cut at high engine speeds.
Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
Follow manufacturers sharpening and maintenance instructions for saw chain.
Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer or the
equivalent.
