WARNING: This machine generates
an electromagnetic field during operation. This
field may under some circumstances interfere
with active or passive medical implants. To
reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, we
recommend persons with medical implants to
consult their physician and the medical implant
manufacturer before operating this machine.
WARNING: When using gas tools,
basic safety precautions, including the
following, should always be followed to
reduce the risk of serious personal injury
and/or damage to the unit. Read all these
instructions before operating this product and
save these instructions.
1. Do not operate a chain saw with one hand!
Serious injury to the operator, helpers, by-
standers, or any combination of these per-
sons may result from one-handed operation.
A chain saw is intended for two-handed use.
2. Do not operate a chain saw when you are fa-
tigued, under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication.
3. Use safety footwear, snug-fitting clothing,
protective gloves, and eye, hearing and head
protection devices.
4. Use caution when handling fuel. Move the
chain saw at least 3 m from the fuelling point
before starting the engine.
5. Do not allow other persons to be near when
starting or cutting with the chain saw. Keep
bystanders and animals out of the work area.
6. Do not start cutting until you have a clear work
area, secure footing, and a planned retreat
path from the falling tree.
7. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw
chain when the engine is running.
8. Before you start the engine, make sure that
the saw chain is not contacting anything.
9. Carry the chain saw with the engine stopped,
the guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and
the muffler away from your body.
10. Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged,
improperly adjusted, or not completely and

securely assembled. Be sure that the saw
chain stops moving when the throttle control
trigger is released.
11. Shut off the engine before setting the chain
saw down.
12. Use extreme caution when cutting small size
brush and saplings because slender material
may catch the saw chain and be whipped to
ward you or pull you off balance.
13. 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 fibres is
released.
14. Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or
fuel mixture.
15. Operate the chain saw only in well-ventilated
areas.
16. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless
you have been specifically trained to do so.
17. All chain saw service, other than the items
listed in the user manual safety and mainte-
nance instructions should be performed by
competent chain saw SPARKY service per-
sonnel.
18. When transporting your chain saw, use the
appropriate guide bar scabbard.
19. Do not operate your chain saw near or around
flammable liquids or gases whether in or out
of doors. An explosion and/or fire may result.
20. Do not tank fuel, oil or lubrication when the
engine of chain saw is running.
21. Use the right tool: Cut wood only. Do not use
the chain saw for purposes for which it was
not intended. For example, do not use the
chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry, or non-
building materials.
22. The first time user should have practical in-
struction in the use of chainsaw (VIII -General
cutting instructions) and the protective equip-
ment from an experienced operator.
23. Do not attempt to hold the saw with one hand
only. You cannot control reactive forces and
you may lose control of the saw, which can
result in the skating or bouncing of the bar and
chain along the limb or log.
24. Never run the chainsaw indoors. Your chain-
saw produces poisonous exhaust as soon
as the combustible engine is started, which
may be colourless and odourless. To use this
product can generate dust, mists and fumes
containing chemicals known to cause repro-
ductive harm. Be aware of harmful dust, mist
(such as saw dust or oil mist from chain lubri-
cation) and protect your self properly.
25. Wear gloves and keep your hand warm.
