CHAINBRAKE
Thechainbrake’s functionistostop chain rotationaftera
kickback. It neither prevents nor reduces kickback. Do
not depend on the chain brake for protection against
kickback.
Evenwithachainbrake,dependonyour own goodsense
andproper cuttingmethodsjustas thoughtherewere no
chainbrake.
Even with normal use and proper maintenance, the
response time of the brake may lengthen. The following
mayinterferewiththebrake’sabilitytoprotecttheoperator.
1. Sawwronglyheldtooclosetooperator’sbody.Kickback
time may be too fast even for a perfectly maintained
brake to work in time.
2. The operator’s hand may not be in position to contact
thehand guard.Thebrake willnotbe tripped.
3. Lack of proper maintenance lengthens the brake’s
stopping time, making it less effective.
4. Dirt, grease, oil, pitch, etc. getting into the working
partsofthemechanismmaylengthenthestoppingtime.
5. Wear and fatigue of the activating brake spring, and
wear of the brake/clutch drum and pivot points may

INJURIES
It is believed that overusing the muscles and tendons of
the fingers, hands, arms and shoulders may cause
soreness, swelling, numbness, weakness and extreme
pain to the areas just mentioned. To reduce the risk of
repetitivestress injury,do thefollowing.
1. Avoid using your wrist in a bent, extended or twisted
position.Instead,trytomaintainastraightwristposition.
Also, when grasping, use your whole hand, not just
thethumb andindexfinger.
2. Take periodic breaks to minimize repetition and rest
yourhands.
3. Reduce the speed and force in which you do the
repetitivemovement.
4. Doexercisestostrengthen thehand andarm muscles.
5. See a doctor if you feel tingling, numbness or pain in
the fingers, hands, wrists or arms.
VIBRATIONANDCOLD
Exposure to cold and vibration may cause tingling and
buming followed by loss of color and numbness in the
fingers.Westronglyrecommend yourtaking thefollowing
precautionsbecausethe minimumexposure whichmight
triggerthe ailmentis unknown.
1. Keep your body warm, especially the head and neck,
feet and ankles, and hands and wrists
2. Maintaingoodbloodcirculationbyperforming vigorous
arm exercises during frequent work breaks and also
by not smoking.

3. Limit the number of hours of chain saw operation. Try
tofilla partofeachworkday withjobsotherthan chain
sawing.
4. lf you experience discomfort, redness and swelling of
the fingers, followed by whitening and loss of feeling,
consultyourphysicianbeforefurther exposing yourself
tocold andvibration.
CUTTING
1. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless you have
been specifically trained to do so.
2. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain
whenthe engineisrunning.
3. Use extreme caution when cutting small-size brush
andsaplings becauseslendermaterial maycatch the
saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
4. When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for
springbackso thatyouwill notbestruck bythelimb or
chain saw when the tension in the wood fibers is
released.
5. Cutting while on a ladder is extremely dangerous
because the ladder can slip and your control of the
chain saw is limited.
6. Workingalone shouldbeleft toprofessionals.
7. Stopthe enginebeforesetting thechain sawdown.
WOODPRACTICES
1. Operating a chain saw safety requires a chain saw in
properworkingorder,soundjudgement,andknowledge
ofthemethodswhich should beappliedineachcutting
situation.
2. Do not let any person use your saw unless he has
read this operator’s manual and fully understands its
instructions.
3. Neverlet children operatethesaw.
4. Use your saw only to cut wood or wood products. Do
not cut solid metal, sheet metal, plastics or any non
woodmaterials.
5. Stay on the uphill side when bucking or limbing logs
which might roll when cut.

Theaccepted waytoholdthe sawistostand totheleftof
the saw with your left hand on the side handle and with
yourright handonthe tophandleso youcanoperate the
throttletriggerwithyourrightindexfinger.Beforeattempting
to fell a tree, cut some small logs or limbs.
Bethoroughly familiar withthecontroland theresponses
ofthe saw.
Start the engine, see that it is running properly.
Squeeze the trigger to open the throttle wide open, then
start the cut. It is not necessary to press down hard to
makethe sawcut.If thechainis properlysharpened,the
cuttingshould berelativelyeffortless.
Some material may adversely affect the housing of your
chain saw. (Example: palm tree acid, fertilizer, etc.) To
avoid housing deterioration carefully remove all packed
sawdustaroundclutch andguide barareaandwashwith
water.

LIMBING
Limbing a fallen tree is much the same as bucking.
1. NeverIimb thetree that youare standingon.
2. Be careful of the tip touching other limbs.
3. Always use both hands.
4. Don’tcut withthesawoverhead orthebar in avertical

BUCKING
Bucking is the sawing of a log or fallen tree into smaller
pieces.
1. Keep both hands on the handles at all times.
2. Support logs if possible.
3. Whencuttingonaslopeor hillside, alwaysstand uphill.
TENSIONAND COMPRESSION IN TIMBER
A length of timber lying on the ground will be subject to
tension and compression depending at which points the
major support is.
When timber is supported at its ends the compression
side is at the top and the tension side is at the bottom.
To cut between these support points make the first cut
downwardsapproximately 1/3rd thetimberdiameter.
The second cut is made upwards and should meet the
first cut.
When the timber is supported at one end only make the
firstcutupwardsapproximately1/3rd thetimber diameter.
Thesecondcut ismadedownwardsandshould meetthe
first cut.
NOTE
If you have misjudged the effects of tension and
compression,andcut from the wrong side, the timber
will pinch the guide bar and chain and trap in it.
Racing the engine with the chain jammed will burn
out your clutch.
If the chain should become jammed and the saw
can not be removed from the cut do not force it out.
Stop the saw, force a wedge into the cut to open it
up.
Never force the saw when it is jammed. Do not force
the saw into the cut. A dull chain is unsafe and will
cause excessive wear to the cutting attachments.
A good way to telt when the chain is dull is when
fine saw dust comes out instead of chips.
Do not touch hot surfaces of cylinder cover and
silencer, after you used the chain saw.

CHAIN
1. Neveroperateachainsawwithadullordamagedchain.
If the chain requires excessive pressure to cut or
produces dust instead of wood chips then inspect the
cuttersfor damage.
2. When sharpning the chain the objectives wilI be to
maintain the same angles and profiles throughout its
life as when it was new. Inspect the chain for damage
or wear every time you refuel your chain saw. When
thelength ofthecutting teethhasworn downtoonly 4
mm the chain must be replaced.
3. In order to file the chain correctly you need: round file
andfile holder, flatfileand adepth gauge tool.
4. Byusing thecorrectfile size(4,0mm roundfile)and a
file holder, it is easier to receive a good result.
