Never operate a chainsaw when under the influence of
medication, drugs, or alcohol.
Use safety footwear. Do not wear loose clothing.
Q
wear protective gloves and clothing(class1), and eye,
hearing, and head protection devices.
Heavy protective clothing may increase operator
Q
fatigue, which could lead to heat stroke. During
weather that is hot and humid, heavy work should be
scheduled for early morning or late afternoon hours
when temperatures are cooler.
Do not stand on any unstable surface while using
Q
the chainsaw, that includes ladders, scaffolds, trees,
etc. always keep a sound and firm footing.
Use caution when handling fuel. Move the chainsaw
Q
at least 10 metres from the fuelling point before starting
the engine.
Do not allow other persons to be near the chainsaw
Q
when starting or cutting with the chainsaw. Keep
bystanders and animals out of the work area.
Do not start cutting until you have a clear work
Q
area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path from
the falling tree.
Keep all parts of your body away from the saw
Q
chain when the engine is running.
Always carry the chainsaw with the engine stopped
Q
and the brake engaged, the guide bar and saw chain
to the rear, and the muffler away from your body. When
transporting the chainsaw, use the appropriate guide
bar scabbard.
Do not operate a chainsaw that is damaged,
Q
improperly adjusted, or not completely and securely
assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving
when the throttle control trigger is released.
Shut off the engine before setting the chainsaw
Q
down. Do not leave the engine running unattended. As
an additional safety precaution, apply the chain brake
prior to setting down the saw.
Use extreme caution when cutting small-size brush
Q
and saplings because slender material may catch the
saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert
Q
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 lubricant or
Q
fuel mixture.
Beware of carbon monoxide poisoning. Operate the
Q
chainsaw only in well-ventilated areas.
Do not climb a tree to use the chainsaw, unless you
Q
have been specifically trained to do so.
Do not cut from a ladder; this is extremely dangerous.

All chainsaw service, other than the items listed in
the instruction manual and all maintenance should be
performed by competent chainsaw service personnel.
(For example, 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 and subsequently
could cause the flywheel to burst.)
Always have a fire extinguisher available when
using a chainsaw.
Use only the replacement guide bars and low
kickback chains specified for the saw.
Do not adapt the powerhead to a bow guide or use
it to power any attachments or devices not listed for the
saw.
The petrol powered saw is intended for infrequent
use by homeowners, cottagers, and campers, and for
such general applications as clearing, pruning, cutting
firewood, etc. It is not intended for prolonged use.
Prolonged periods of operation can cause circulatory
problems in the user's hands due to vibration. For such
use, it may be appropriate to use a saw having an anti-
vibration feature.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use to instruct other users. If you loan someone this
tool, loan them these instructions also.

this section of the operator's manual are for your
safety. Failure to follow all instructions may result
in serious personal injury.
Do not cut vines and/or small underbrush (a diameter
of less than 3 in.)
Muffler surfaces are very hot during and
immediately after operation of the chainsaw; keep

the engine is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs
and fingers encircling the chainsaw handles.
Never let anyone use the chainsaw who has not
received adequate instructions in its proper use.
This applies to rentals as well as privately owned saws.
Before you start the engine, make sure the saw chain
is not contacting any object.
Wear snug-fitting clothing. Always wear heavy, long
trousers, boots, and gloves. Do not wear jewellery,
shorts, sandals, or go barefoot. loose fitting clothing
could be drawn into the engine or catch the chain or
underbrush. Wear overalls, jeans, or chaps made of
cut-resistant material or ones that contain cut-resistant
inserts. Secure hair so that it is above shoulder level.
