■Before operate the product
1. Before using our products, please read this manual carefully to understand the
proper use of your unit.
2. 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.
3. Operate the chain saw 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 and slip-resistant footwear, 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
color and numbness in the fingers. The following precautions are strongly
recommended because the minimum exposure which might trigger the ailment is
unknown.
Keep your body warm, especially the head, neck, feet, ankles, hands and wrists.
Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous arm exercises during frequent
work breaks and also by not smoking. Keep the saw chain sharp and the saw, including
the AV 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. Limit the hours of operation.
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.
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 a wood. Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area. Children, pets,
and bystanders should be a minimum of 30feet (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.
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, Ioose, 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 chain saw service, other than the items listed in the Operator’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).
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.
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.
20. When transporting your chain saw, make sure the appropriate guide bar scabbard
is in place.
Securely place the machine during transport to prevent loss of fuel, damage or
injury.
