WARNING:
• Before proceeding to your job, read the section "For Safe Operation '. It is recom-
mended to first practice sawing easy logs. This also helps you get accustomed to your
unit.
• The chain saw is equipped with a spiked bumper. The spiked bumper is for safe and
easy operation of the chain saw. It increases your stability when carrying out vertical
sawing work.
• Always follow the safety regulations. The chain saw must only be used for cutting wood.
It is forbidden to cut other types of material. Vibrations and kickback vary with different
mate- rials and the requirements of the safety regulations would not be respected. Do
not use the chain saw as a lever for lifting, moving or splitting objects. Do not lock it over
fixed stands. It is forbidden to hitch tools or applications to the PTO other than those
specified by the manufacturer.
• It is not necessary to force the saw into the cut. Apply only light pressure while running
the engine at full throttle.
• When the saw chain is caught in the cut, do not attempt to pull it out by force, but use a
wadge or a lever to open the way.

check the chain brake operation before each usage by running
the saw at full the throttle for l-2 seconds and pushing the front
hand guard forward. The chain should stop immediately with
the engine at full speed. lf the chain is slow to stop or does not
