noises: for example noise reduction ear
guards or earplugs. The use of protections for
the ear requests much more attention and
caution, because the perception of danger
audio signals (screaming, alarms, etc.) is
limited. Wear anti-cut gloves.
· Only loan your saw to expert users who are
completely familiar with saw operation and
correct use. Give other users the manual with
operating instructions, which they have to read
before using the saw.
· Check the chain saw each day to ensure that
each device, whether for safety or otherwise, is
functional.
· Never use a damaged, modified, or improperly
repaired or assembled chain saw. Do not
remove, damage or deactivate any of the
safety devices. Only use bars of the length
indicated in the table (page 12). Always replace
bar, chain, hand guard, or chain brake
immediately if it becomes damaged, broken or
is otherwise removed.
· Carefully plan your sawing operation in
advance. Do not start cutting until you have a
clear work area, secure footing, and, if you are
felling trees, a planned retreat path.
· All saw service, other than the operations
shown in the present manual, have to be
performed by competent personnel.
· The chain saw must only be used for cutting
wood. It is unadvisable to cut other types of
material.
· It is unadvisable to hitch tools or applications
to the P.t.o. that are not specified by the
manufacturer.
Fuel Handling
WARNING: Gasoline is an extremely
flammable fuel. Use extreme caution
when handling gasoline or fuel mix. Do not
smoke or bring any fire or flame near the fuel
or the chainsaw.
· To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury,
handle fuel with care. It is highly flammable.
· Mix and store fuel in a container approved for
gasoline.
· Mix fuel outdoors where there are no sparks or
flames.
· Select bare ground, stop engine, and allow to
cool before refueling.
· Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and
to keep fuel from escaping around the cap.
· Tighten fuel cap securely after refueling. Unit
vibration can cause an improperly tightened
fuel cap to loosen or come off and spill
quantities of fuel.
· Wipe spilled fuel from the unit. Move 10 feet
(3 m) away from refueling site before starting
engine.
· Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under
any circumstances.
· Do not smoke while handling fuel or while
operating the saw.
· Store fuel in a cool, dry, well ventilated place.
· Never place the saw in a combustible area such
as dry leaves, straw, paper, etc.
· Store the unit and fuel in an area where fuel
vapors cannot reach sparks or open flames
from water heaters, electric motors or switches,
furnaces, etc.
· Never take the cap off the tank when the
engine is running.
· Never use fuel for cleaning operations.
· Take care not to get fuel on your clothing.
· Don't refuel when you are in a tree; refuel only
on a secure ground or on a platform.
Operation and Safety
Warning: Always hold the chain saw with
both hands when the engine is running.
Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers
encircling the chain saw handles.
· Keep all parts of your body away from the saw
chain when the engine is running.
· Always carry the chain saw with the engine
stopped and chain brake engaged, the guide
bar and saw chain to the rear, and the muffler
away from your body. When transporting your
chain saw, use the appropriate guide bar
scabbard (Fig. 29). When transporting in a
vehicle, keep chain and bar covered with the
chain guard. Properly secure your saw to
prevent turnover, fuel spillage and damage to
the saw.
· Apply chain brake prior to any repositioning of
the operator in the cutting area.
· Do not operate a chain saw with one hand!
Serious injury to the operator, helpers,
bystanders, or any combination of these
persons may result from one -handed
operation. A chain saw is intended for two-
handed use.
