RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
Never operate a chain saw when you are fatigued.
Use safety footwear, snug-fitcing clothing, and eye, hearing and head
protection devices.
Always use caution when handling fuel. Move the chain saw at least
10 feet (3 m) from the fueling point before starting the engine.
Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw when sturting or
cutting
with
the
chain
saw.
Keep
bystanders
and
animals
out
of
the
work area.
Never start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing,
and a planned retreat path from the Falling tree.
Always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands when the engine is
running,
Use
a
firm
grip
with
thumbs
and
fingers
encircling
the
chain
saw handles.
Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the
engine is running.
Before you start the engine, make surc the saw chain is not
contacting anything.
Always carry the chain saw with the engine stopped, the guide bar
and saw chain to the rear, and the muffler away from your body.
Never
operate
a
chain
saw
that
is
damaged,
improperly
adjusted,
or
is
not
completely
and
securely
assembled.
Be
sure
that
the
saw
chain
stops
moving
when
the
throttle
control
trigger
is
released.
Always shut off the engine before setting it down.
Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and saplings
because
slender
material
may
catch
the
saw chain
and
be
whipped
toward you or pull you off balance.
When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back so
that you will not be struck when the tension in the wood fibers is
released.
Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil or fuel mixture.
Operate the chain saw only in well ventilated areas,
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless specifically trained to do
so.

o Mount the guide bar side plate (outside) and the guide bar cover.
o Fasten them with nuts lightly.

© Tension the chain: hold up the bar end by the hand, and turn the
adjusting screw clockwise.
© It is important to tension the chain properly. Mesh the chain with the
bar at the bar bottom and turn the adjusting screw out about 1/8 turn.
o Keep tensioning to get a proper chain tension. It is obtained when the
chain comes into contact with the bottom end of the guide bar.
