If the machine has struck foreign objects, check if the tool is damaged and bring it to repair if necessary.
Do not place any part of the body on the chain when the chainsaw is operating. Before starting the chain saw,
make sure that the chain is not in contact with anything. A moment of inattention during use may cause your
clothing or body part to stick to the chain.
Always hold the chainsaw back handle with your right hand and the front handle with your left hand. Hold the
chainsaw by inverting your hands increases the risk of personal injury and should never be used.
For the chainsaw designed with the chain guide on the left side, the reference to the "right hand" and "left hand"
positions is reversed.
When cutting a branch that is under stress, pay attention to the risk of elastic return. When the tension of the wood
fibres is released, the spring-loaded limb may strike the operator and / or project the chain saw out of control.
Exercise extreme caution when cutting brush and young shrubs. Fine materials can grip the cutting chain and be
thrown as a whip in your direction, or you lose balance under the effect of traction.
Follow the instructions for lubrication, tension and chain change accessories. A chain whose tension and
lubrication are incorrect can either break or increase the risk of rebound.

During maintenance and storage
Stop the tool and wait until it stops. Make sure all moving parts have come to a standstill.
Allow the machine to cool before performing inspection, adjustments, maintenance, servicing and storage.
Store the tool where fuel vapor will not reach a flame or spark.
When transporting and storing, always place the tool in its transport guard and protective device on it.
Causes of rebounds and prevention by the operator
Bounce may occur when the spout or end of the chain guide touches an object, or when the wood tightens and
pinches the cutting chain in the cutting section.
The contact of the tip may in some cases cause a sudden reverse reaction by bouncing the chain guide up and
back towards the operator.
Pinching of the cutting chain on the upper part of the chain guide can force the chain guide to the operator
abruptly.
Either of these reactions can result in loss of control of the saw likely to result in a serious personal injury. Do not
rely exclusively on safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user, all measures should be taken to
eliminate the risk of accident or injury during cutting.
Bounce results from improper use of the tool and / or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking the appropriate precautions specified below:
- Hold the saw with both hands firmly with the thumbs and fingers encircling the handles of the saw and place
your body and arms to allow you to withstand the rebound forces. The rebound forces can be controlled by
the operator, if appropriate precautions are taken. Do not allow the chain saw to start.
- Do not stretch the arm too far and do not cut above the shoulder height. This helps prevent unintentional end
contacts and allows better control of the chain saw in unforeseen situations.
- Use only the manufacturers specified replacement guides and chains. Incorrect replacement guides and
chains may cause chain breakage and / or rebound.
- Follow manufacturer's instructions for sharpening and servicing the chain saw. A decrease in the depth gauge
level can lead to an increase in rebounds.
Residual risks
Even if you use this product in accordance with all safety requirements, the potential risks of injury and damage
remain. The following dangers can occur:
- There are adverse health consequences resulting from the emission of vibrations if the tool is used for long
periods of time or is not properly managed and properly maintained.
- The vibrations can produce the so-called “white finger” disease. If any of the symptoms of "white finger" syndrome
appear, seek medical attention immediately. Symptoms of “white finger” include: numbness, loss of sensitivity,
tickling, tingling, pain, loss of strength, changes in color or skin condition. These symptoms usually appear on the
fingers, hands, or wrists. The risk increases at low temperatures. In order to reduce this risk, please wear gloves
and keep your hands warm. Limit the operating time.
- There is a risk of hearing loss with prolonged use, especially if hearing protection is not worn. Always wear
hearing protection and limit the operating time.
Intended use
This chainsaw is intended for use in cutting wood and trees. Do not cut metal objects, sheet metal, plastic and any

a. Adjusting the carburetor
The carburetor is preset at the factory. To avoid malfunction, it is recommended not to adjust the adjustment
screws. If these screws require readjustment, have the machine serviced by your service center.
b. Chain brake
The chain brake is a device that automatically stops the chain in case a backward movement occurs, causing
the saw to jump. Normally, the brake is automatically activated by the inertia force.
It is also manually tightened by pushing the brake lever down and forward.
When the brake is running, a yellow sign comes out from the base of the brake lever.
To release the brake, pull the brake lever up until it clicks into place.
When the brake is working, release the throttle lever to slow down the engine speed. Continuous use when
the brake is running causes the clutch to heat up and can cause problems.
When checking the machine before using it, check the operating condition of the brake by performing the
following operations:
Start the engine and grasp the handle firmly with both hands.
While pulling the throttle control lever to keep the chain in operation, push the brake lever down with the
back of the left hand.
When the brake is running and the chain is stopped, remove the hand from the throttle.
Loosen the brake.
c. Release of the chain brake
To use the chain saw again, the chain brake must be released. This must be done machine off and cooled.
Pull the shield until it returns to its original position.

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS

d. Sharpening of the chain
For best performance, we strongly recommend that you periodically sharpen the chain. The chain can either
be sharpened by a professional or by yourself by providing you with a sharpening guide (make sure you
know how to use it).
The chain must be sharpened when:
- Wood chips have become powder
- To make a normal cut, force on the tool
- The cut is not straight
- Vibration increases
- Fuel consumption has increased
e. Checking the lubrication of the chain
- Before checking the oil, make sure that the bar and the chain are in place.
- Once the engine is started, turns it at medium speed and checks that the chain oil is sprayed and traces
off the ground.
- The oil flow of the chain is adjustable to obtain the proper flow. Insert a screwdriver on the clutch side.
- Turn the adjuster to obtain the correct flow rate for the job.
- The chainsaw must essentially consume the contents of the oil tank between each full of fuel. Do not
forget to fill the oil tank when filling the machine with fuel.
2. Cutting work
The tool should only be used to cut trees. Do not use it for other applications.
Do not attempt to remove the chainsaw when it is stuck during operation. Stop the machine and remove the
wedge blade with a wedge.
Stick your feet well, keep a good balance and do not climb on the tree trunk.
Try not to work on a slope. However, if you have to work on a slope, always stand higher than the tree trunk.
Before bending a branch or trunk in bending, observe the direction of bending and finish the cut opposite the
bending side to prevent the chain guide from getting stuck in the cut.

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
16
a. Felling of trees
Examine the work area and estimate where the tree will fall. Start the machine as described above. Start by
making a notch in the direction of fall chosen.
