The following condions may cause the chain saw to rebound:
• The guide head of the running chain saw touches a hard object or makes an emergency brake.
• The head of the running chain saw’s guide plate is touched.
When using the guide plate to cut from top to boom, the pulling force of the chain saw is facing the opposite
direcon of the operator.
If the running chain saw touches a hard object and is clamped, the operator will lose control of the chain saw,
causing serious or fatal injury.
• Grasp the chain saw handle ghtly.
• Operate the chain saw as described in the manual.
• Keep the guide plate straight and cut.
• Please use full speed when cung.
• First cut a force-relief groove from the taut side (1), and then cut it on the side that prevents loosening (2).
Thrust warning
When using the guide plate to cut from boom to top, the direcon of the chain saw thrust is towards the
operator.
If the running chain saw touches a hard object and is clamped, the operator will lose control of the chain saw,
causing serious or fatal injury.
• Grasp the chain saw handle with both hands.
• Operate the chain saw as described in the manual.

• When the chain saw is in operation, keep a certain distance between your body and the chain saw. Before starting the chain saw, make sure that the chain is
not in contact with anything. During operation of the chain saw, even the slightest distraction of the operator may cause clothing or body parts to be caught
in the chain.
• Always hold the rear handle of the chain saw with your right hand and the front handle of the chain saw with your left hand. Doing the opposite will increase
the risk of personal injury. Therefore, never grasp the rear handle with your left hand and grasp the front handle with your right hand.
• Because the chain may touch hidden wires, when operating the power tool only hold the insulated handle. When the chain comes into contact with a live
wire, the exposed metal parts of the tools may also be live and lead to the operator getting electrocuted.
• Please wear protective glasses and ear protection. It is recommended to also wear protective equipment to protect the head, hands, legs and feet. Protective
clothing will reduce the risk of personal injury caused by flying debris or accidentally touching the chain.
• Do not operate the chain saw on a tree. Operating the chain saw on a tree may cause personal injury.
• Make sure to stand firm and on a fixed, safe and level surface before operating the chain saw. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause the
operator to lose balance or lose control of the chain saw.
• When cutting a branch under tension, beware of rebound. When the tension on the wood fiber is released, the elastic force on the branch may impact the
operator, or the chain saw may cause it to lose control.
• When cutting shrubs and saplings, please be especially careful because slender materials may jam the chain and lead to injury.
• Before carrying the chain saw, turn it off and hold the front handle firmly. When transporting or storing the chain saw, be sure to close the guide cover.
Properly operating the chain saw will reduce the possibility of accidental contact with a running chain.
• Lubricate, tension the chain and replace accessories according to the instructions. Improperly tensioning or lubricating the chain may cause the chain to
break or increase the possibility of rebound.
• Keep the handle dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Greasy handles are prone to slippage.
• Only use the chain saw for cutting wood. Do not use the chain saw for purposes other than the ones intended. For example: Do not use the chain saw to
cut plastic, stone, or non-wood building materials. The use of the chain saw for operations other than the intended ones will result in dangerous situations.
