should never be used.
For the chainsaw designed with the chain guide on the left side, the reference to the "right
04

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.
Keep handles dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Oily, greasy grips are slippery and cause

Guide-bar and chain adjustments should be performed with the engine stopped (machine
switched off).
Regularly check and test the chain brake.
Hazards may be encountered while using the saw, such as blockage of the saw chain, in order
to reduce hazards, follow the instruction for cutting operation; always check the condition of the
tool, do not start the chainsaw directly in the tree.
Only use the throttle control latch at starting procedure.
Warning! Use the machine with the throttle control latch engaged.
Fuel Handling
Be very careful when handling fuels. They are flammable and the vapors are explosive.
Use only an approved container.
Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel while the machine is on. Turn off the unit and allow the
engine and exhaust components to cool before refueling.
Do not smoke.
Never refuel inside a room.
Never store the tool and the fuel tray indoors where there is a naked flame, such as near a
water heater.
If fuel has spilled, do not attempt to start the machine, but rather move it away from the spill
before starting to use it. Clean any spills.
Replace and tighten the fuel tank cap after refueling.
Follow the instructions in this manual for filling the tool with fuel.
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.
05

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.

4. FILLING THE TANK
1) Fuel tank
WARNING: When filling the tank:
The chainsaw must always be stopped and cooled.
Never smoke during refueling. It must not have flames or sparks near the fuel.
Before refueling, allow the chainsaw to cool completely. Do not attempt to refuel when the
engine is hot.
If fuel has been spilled, immediately stop refueling and do not start the engine. Clean up
the spill and fill the machine in another location
Never fill the fuel tank to the flange; there is a risk of overflow.
Do not refuel in a closed and unventilated area.
The fuel used for this tool is a mixture of unleaded gasoline and registered engine lubricant. When
mixing gasoline with oil, use only gasoline that does not contain ethanol or methanol.
Unleaded gasoline is a quality gasoline type. This will help to avoid damaging the fuel lines of the
engine and other engine parts.
The recommended mixing ratio is 40:1 (make sure the mixing ratio is correct before filling the
product.
a. Mixing
Mix in a clean, empty container (supplied).
Pour the oil into the container.
Pour the fuel into the tank. Mix the mixture long enough (more than one minute) to get a good
combination.
11

b. Filling the fuel tank
Unscrew the fuel tank cap and remove it.
Fill the tank slowly with the mixture. Do not exceed the maximum capacity (fill to 80% of its
capacity preferably).
Replace the cap on the fuel tank and tighten it
Wipe any spillage around the unit if necessary
Note: To avoid damage and accidents, DO NOT USE OTHER MIXTURES AND OTHER
TYPES OF OIL / PETROL
c. Storage of fuel
The fuel must be kept in a clean and safe container and always closed.
If you are not using the product for a long time, remove the fuel mixture and add it to a container.
Do not leave the fuel for a long time in the product. The fuel may clog the carburetor and the
engine will not operate properly.
d. Disposal of fuel
When the fuel is no longer used or worn, please dispose of it in an authorized location. Check
local laws regarding disposal of fuels.
2) Oil tank
-Unscrew the oil tank
-Fill the tank with quality chain oil. Do not overfill.
-Replace the cap on the tank. Wipe any spillage if necessary.
5. OPERATION
Before using the chainsaw, inspect the work area. This must be cleared. Remove any branches,
obstacles and other items that may cause damage during cutting.
The unit should always be filled with fuel and be usable. Check the level of filling and refill when
necessary.
1. Starting the engine
a. Activate the chain brake by pushing it forward.
b. Press the priming pump continuously until the fuel enters the pump. Set the switch to position
ON.
c. Pull the starter button. The starter will close and the throttle will be moved to the starting
position.
12

Hold the chainsaw firmly against the ground. Put the chainsaw:
Either on the left side of your body holding the handle firmly with your left hand. Use your right
hand to pull the starter rope
Either on the right side of your body holding the handle firmly with your right hand.
Use your left hand to pull on the starter rope.
In both cases, the saw must remain away from the operator's body.
-Push lightly the safety trigger and then the accelerator throttle to start working.
2. Stopping the engine
Allow the chainsaw to run for a few minutes. Then turn the switch to the OFF position, the engine
will stop and the switch return to ON position.
3. Main settings
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.
Stop the tool and tighten the needle L until it stops. Do not force it. Then set it to its initial number
of turns as shown below. The number of turns for the needle is also shown below:
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.
13

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.
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.
4. Work with wire and harness
NOTE: It is necessary to have a complete training before working at high. It is strongly
recommended that only experienced and trained persons carry out work at high. Know all
emergency procedures to be carried out.
These instructions are examples of good practice. Follow and abide by local laws and regulations
as well.
It is also recommended that the operator who is going to work at height be assisted by another
person.
It is compulsory with techniques of climbing and working position. Be equipped with complete
equipment including harnesses, ropes, strops, snap hooks and other equipment that allows them
to maintain and maintain the saw by adopting secure positions.
14

a. Using the Chainsaw in the Tree
An analysis of accidents with chainsaws during tree pruning shows that the main cause is an
inadequate use of the one-hand chainsaw. In a large majority of accidents, operators do not seek
to adopt a safe working position that allows them to hold with both hands. This results in an
increased risk of injury due to:
-The absence of a firm grasp of the chainsaw in case of rebound
-A lack of control of the chainsaw, which is more likely to come into contact with the climbing
ropes and with the operator's body (especially the hand and the left arm) and
-Loss of control due to unsafe working position, resulting in contact with the chain saw
(unexpected movement during operation of the chain saw).
b. Safe positioning for two-hand operation
In order to allow operators to hold the chain saw with both hands, it is generally recommended that
they aim for a safe working position when operating the chain saw:
-At the hip, when cutting horizontal sections, and
-At the level of solar plexus, when cutting vertical sections.
When operators work near vertical trunks with low lateral forces on their working position, good
support may be sufficient to maintain a safe working position. However, as operators move away
from the trunk, they will need to take steps to suppress or neutralize increasing lateral forces, for
example by redirecting the main rope through an additional anchor point or using an adjustable
strap directly from the harness Has an additional anchor point.
The obtaining of a good support to the working position can be favored by the use of a foot stirrup
created by an endless sling.
15

c. Starting the saw in the tree
When starting the saw in the shaft, the operator should:
-Apply the chain brake before starting, and
-Hold the saw on the left side, either on the right side before starting:
On the left side, hold the saw with your left hand on the front handle while holding the saw
away from the body while pulling the starter rope with your right hand, or
On the right side, hold the saw with your right hand on one of the two handles while holding the
saw away from the body while pulling the starter rope with your left hand.
-The chain brake should always be engaged before lowering a running saw to its stroke.
-Operators should always check that the saw has sufficient fuel before undertaking critical cuts.
d. Using the chain saw with one hand
Operators should not use chain saws to prune single-handed trees when they are in an unstable
working position and prefer hand saws when cutting wood of small diameter at the ends of the
branches.
Only chainsaws should be used for tree pruning with one hand when:
-Operators cannot maintain a working position allowing them to use both hands
-They need to maintain their working position, allowing them to use both hands
-The saw is used in full extension, perpendicular to the body of the operator and separated from
it.
Operators should:
-Never cut with the rebound area at the end of the chain saw chain guide
-Never hold and cut sections or
-Never try to catch sections when they fall.
e. Release of a jammed saw
If the saw gets stuck during cutting, the operators should:
-Saw the saw and attach it securely to the cutting foot of the shaft (ie trunk side) or has a
separate chord from the tool
-Pull the saw of the cluster while the branch is lifted, if necessary,
-If necessary, use a hand saw or a second chainsaw to release the chain saw.
5. 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
16

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.
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.
When the tree falls, shout or make a beep to alert people in the vicinity. When the shaft falls, move
away from the cutting area.
b. Trunk on the ground
Cut half of the trunk, turn it over and finish the cut on the other side.
c. Trunk in elevation
Begin by cutting a first part from below and then from above. Then, on the second part, repeat this
operation.
f. Pruning of a felled tree
Observe first the direction of flexion of the branch. Make a first notch on the side in flexion and
finish the cut on the opposite side.
g. Pruning a tree
Begin pruning by nicking the tree from below and then finish at the top.
17

6. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1. Maintenance
Before any maintenance work, the machine must be switched off and completely cooled.
Perform the maintenance work according to the instructions below and perform them
regularly. A clean, well-maintained machine increases its standard of living and efficiency.
On the contrary, a machine maintained can cause damage, accidents and render the tool
inoperable in the short term.
Any other maintenance, modification or repair work must be carried out by a qualified
professional.
Do not immerse the tool in water or any other liquid.
a. After each use
-Clean the engine block louvers with a blower.
-Check the chain brake if it is working properly.
-Clean the plastic parts before wiping with a damp cloth.
-Check the use of the chain guide
-Check the auto lubrication circuit if it is obstructed or not.
-Check sprocket condition
-Clean the cylinder fins with a compressor
b. Cleaning the air filter
Use a compressor to blow dust and chips.
To clean the filter foam: open the air filter, remove the foam. Clean this foam with gasoline, wring
out and dry. Replace the foam in the air filter and reassemble as described in the diagram.
After 10 uses, replace the foam with a new one.
c. Cleaning the oil inlet
Disassemble the chain guide and the chain hood and check that the oil supply is clean. If dirty,
remove dirt with a clean compressor or cloth.
d. Cleaning the oil filter and fuel filter
Clean these items regularly. Remove them from the tanks using clamps. Clean them with gasoline
and then put them back in place afterwards
18

e. Guide bar
Cleaning: Remove bar guide to remove dirt from grooves and oil inlet.
Regularly grease the pinion.
Check: Reverse the bar from time to time to avoid the effects of wear. The bar rail should always
be in place. Use a ruler to observe it. If a gap is observed between them, then the rail is normal.
Otherwise, the rail is worn out. A bar must be corrected or replaced.
f. Sprocket
Check the sprocket on signs of wear. If wearing is important, replace it with a new one. Do not
install a chain on a worn or damaged sprocket. Do not install a worn chain on a pinion.
g. Spark plug
Clean the electrodes with a wire brush and set the gap to 0.6mm if necessary.
19

h. chain saw
Check each time the cutter and cutting angles are as shown below.
i. 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 perform a normal cut, force on the tool#
-The cut is not straight
-Vibration increase
-Fuel consumption has increased
-Sharpening method:
The chain saw must be switched off and locked before sharpening. Use a round file or sharpening
device (see in store).
