8. Sawing
WARNING
Before proceeding to your job, read „For Safe Operation"
section It is recommended to first practice sawing easy
logs. This also helps you get accustomed to your unit.
Always follow all the safety regulations which can restrict
the use of the machine. 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
materials 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 P.t.o. that are not specified by the
manufacturer.
It is not necessary to force the saw into the cut. Ap-
ply only light pressure while running the engine at full
throttle.
It is recommended that daily inspection before use and
after dropping or other impacts to identify significant
damage or defects.
Racing the engine with the chain seized in a cutaway
can damage the clutch system. When the saw chain is
caught in the cut, do not attempt to pull it out by force,
but use a wedge or a lever to open the cut.
Guard against kickback
This saw is also equipped with a chain brake that will
stop the chain in the event of kickback if operating pro-
perly. You must check the chain brake operation before
each usage by running the saw at full throttle for 1 or 2
seconds and pushing the front hand guard forward. The

chain should stop immediately. If the chain is slow to
stop or does no stop then replace the brake band and
clutch drum before use.
1) Engine switch
It is extremely important that the chain brake be checked
for proper operation before each use and that the chain
be sharp in order to maintain the kickback safety level
of this saw. Removal of the safety devices, inadequate
maintenance, or incorrect replacement of the bar or
chain may increase the risk of serious personal injury
due to kickback.
