3. For safe operation
WARNING
• This chainsaw has been especially designed for tree
maintenance and should therefore only be used by
trained operators when working up in the trees.
• Under no circumstances may the design of the machine be modified without the permission of the manufacturer. Always use genuine accessories. Non-authorized modifications and/or accessories can result in
serious personal injury or the death of the operator or
others.
•A chain saw is a dangerous tool if used carelessly or
incorrectly and can cause serious, even fatal injuries.
It is very important that you read and understand the
contents of this operator’s manual.
7. All chain saw service, other than the
items listed in the Owner’s Manual,
should be performed by competent
chain saw 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.)
8. Always shut off the engine before
setting it down.
■ BASIC SAFETY RULES
1. Never operate a chain saw 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.
2. Use safety footwear, snug fitting
clothing and eye, hearing and head
protection devices.
Use vibration reducing gloves.
Most chain saw accidents happen
when the chain touches the operator.
Personal protective equipment cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it
will reduce the degree of injury.
3. Do not allow other person to be near
the chain saw when starting or cutting. Keep bystanders and animals
out of the work area. Children, pets
and bystanders should be a minimum
of 10 m away when you start or operate the chain saw.
9. Never cut in high wind, bad weather,
when visibility is poor or in very high
or low temperatures.
10. Operate the chain saw only in well
ventilated areas. Never start or run
the engine inside a closed room or
building and potentially explosive atmosphere. Exhaust fumes contain
dangerous carbon monoxide.
11. Never touch the cover, guide bar, saw
chain or nut with bare hands while
the engine is in operation or immediately after shutting down the engine.
Doing so could result in serious burns

4. Never start cutting until you have a
clear work area, secure footing, and
a planned retreat path from the falling tree.
5. Always hold the chain saw firmly with
both hands when the chain saw is
running. Use a firm grip with thumb
and fingers encircling the chain saw
handles.
6. Keep all parts of your body away from
the saw chain when the engine is running.
GZ3500T
■ BEFORE USE
1. Keep the saw chain sharp and the
anti-vibration system, well maintained. A dull chain will increase cutting time, and pressing a dull chain
through wood will increase the vibrations transmitted to your hands. A
saw with loose components or with
damaged or worn AV buffers will also
tend to have higher vibration levels.
2. Before you start the engine, make
sure the saw chain is not contacting
anything.
3. Always inspect the chain saw before
each use for worn, Ioose, or damaged 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.
■ CUTTING
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Always check the tree for dead
branches which could fall during the
felling operation.
4. Do not operate the chain saw in a tree
unless specially trained to do so.
5. Never use a chain saw by holding it
with one hand. A chain saw is not safe
if controlled with one hand; you can
cut yourself. Always have a secure,
firm grip around the handles with both
hands.
■ FUEL SAFETY
1. Always use caution when handling
fuel. Wipe up all spills and then move
the chain saw at least 10 ft(3 m) from
the fueling point before starting the
engine.
2. Eliminate all sources of sparks or
flame (i.e. smoking, open flames, or
work that can cause sparks) in the
areas where fuel is mixed, poured,
or stored.
3. Do not smoke while handling fuel or
while operating the chain saw.
4. Keep the handles dry, clean and free
of oil or fuel mixture.
5. Always store fuel in an approved container designed for that purpose.
■ STORAGE
1. Always store the chain saw and fuel
so that there is no risk of leakages or
fumes coming into contact with
sparks or naked flames from electrical equipment, electric motors, relays/switches, boilers and the like.
2. For longer periods of storage or for
transport of the chain saw, the fuel
and chain oil tanks should be emptied.
3. When the chain saw is in storage
make sure the appropriate guide bar
scabbard is in place in order to prevent accidental contact with the
sharp chain. Even a non-moving
chain can cause serious cuts to yourself or persons you bump into with
an exposed chain.
U
S
■ TRANSPORT
1. 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.
2. When transporting your chain saw,
make sure the appropriate guide bar
scabbard is in place.

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 guide bar
may push the guide bar rapidly back
towards the operator. Either of these
reactions may cause you to Iose 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 kick-
back you can reduce or eliminate the
element of surprise. Sudden surprise
contributes to accidents.
(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.
(3) 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.
(4) Cut at high engine speeds. (full
throttle)
(5) Do not overreach or cut above shoul-
der height.
(6) If you have to cut branches or the like
that are above shoulder height, a
working platform or scaffold is recommended.
(7) Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening
and maintenance instructions for the
saw chain.
(8) Only use replacement bars and
chains specified by the manufacturer.
FOR PROTECTING YOUR BODY FROM VIBRATION
If you continue to use high-vibration tools these
symptoms will probably get worse, for example:
• The numbness in your hands could become permanent and you won’t be able to feel things at all;
•You will have difficulty picking up small objects such
as screws or nails;
• The white finger syndrome could occur more frequently and affect more of your fingers.
Please observe the following, in order to protect the
health of your body.
1. Always use the right tool for each job (to do the job
more quickly and expose you to less hand-arm vibration).
2. Check tools before using them to make sure they
have been properly maintained and repaired to avoid
increased vibration caused by faults or general wear.
3. Make sure cutting tools are kept sharp so that they
remain efficient.
4. Reduce the amount of time you use a tool at one
time, by doing other jobs in between.
5. Avoid gripping or forcing a tool or workpiece more
than you have to.
6. Store tools so that they do not have very cold handles
when used.
7. Encourage good blood circulation by:
• keeping warm and dry (when necessary, wear
gloves, a hat, waterproofs and use heating pads if
available);
• give up or cut down on smoking because smoking
reduces blood flow; massage and exercise your fingers to increase blood circulation.
DISPOSAL
When disposing of your machine, fuel or oil in the
machine, be sure to follow your local regulations.
