maximum of two hours per day
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 fibers 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 loss of
control.
Cut only wood, as well as for pruning and cutting wood. Do not use the chain saw for any other purpose.
For example: do not use it to cut plastic, masonry or construction materials other than wood. Using the
chain saw for operations other than those specified may result in hazardous situations.
Be careful when using the machine during stormy weather. Do not use the machine during lightning,
thunderstorms or in bad weather in general.
There is advantage of using a spiked bumper when cutting thick branches
Perform regular functional check of the clutch. It should be no have chain movement at idling speed.
When operating the tool, be careful of the emission of exhaust gases, lubrication oil mist and saw dust;
avoid to be exposed to these and wear protective equipment.

Wear protective gloves when assembly, disassembly, sharpening chain tensioning and when handling
the guide bar.
Guide-bar and chain adjustments should be perform with the engine stopped.
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.
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.
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.
