5. Always keep proper footing and operate the chainsaw only when standing on fixed, secure and level
surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the
chainsaw.
6. When cutting a tree limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood
fibre is released, the spring-loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the chainsaw out of control.
7. Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the saw chain and
be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
8. Carry the chainsaw by the front handle with the chain brake on, chainsaw switched off and the saw chain
away from your body. When transporting or storing the chainsaw always fit the guide bar cover. Proper
handling of the chainsaw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
9. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
10. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of
control.
11. Cut wood only. Do not use the chainsaw for purposes not intended. For example: do not use the chainsaw
for cutting plastic, masonry, or non-wood building materials. Use of the chainsaw for operations different
than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF KICKBACK:
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and
pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the
operator. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards
the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the chainsaw which could result in serious personal
injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your chainsaw. As a chainsaw user, you should
take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided
by taking proper precautions as given below:
•Keep a good grip on the saw with both hands, the right hand on the rear handle and trigger, and the left
hand on the front handle, when the engine is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling
the chainsaw handles. A firm grip will help you reduce kickback and maintain control of the saw. Do not let
go.
•Make certain that the area in which you’re cutting is free from obstructions. Do not let the nose of the
guide bar contact a log, branch, or any other obstruction which could be hit while you are operating the
chainsaw.
3. Check the bar, chain and sprockets at frequent intervals for proper tightness. Also, visually inspect spindle
for damage. Replace with the original equipment manufacture’s (O.E.M.) parts only, listed in this manual.
“Use of parts which do not meet the original equipment specifications may lead to improper performance
and compromise safety!”
4. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
5. Never tamper with safety devices. Check the correct operation regularly.
6. After striking a foreign object, stop the motor, disconnect the spark plug cap from the spark plug.
Thoroughly inspect the chainsaw for any damage. Repair the damage before starting and operating the
chainsaw.
7. Chainsaw components, guards and shields are subject to wear and damage which could expose moving
parts or allow objects to be thrown. For safety protection, frequently check components and replace
immediately with original equipment manufacturers (O.E.M.) parts only, listed in this manual. “Use of
parts which do not meet the original equipment specifications may lead to improper performance and
compromise safety!”
8. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.
9. Observe proper disposal laws and regulations. Improper disposal of fluids and materials can harm the
environment.
DO NOT MODIFY THE ENGINE
To avoid serious injury or death, do not modify the engine in any way. The engine has been tested to meet
stringent legislation tests.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. This machine is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the machine by a person responsible for their safety.
2. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not use or play with the machine.
3. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating this machine.
4. Do not use this machine while you are tired, ill or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating this machine can cause you to lose control & may result in series
personal injury.
5. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, sturdy gardening gloves, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing & gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. Prolonged use of the machine may lead to disorders of blood circulation in hands caused by vibration.
These effects can be worsened by low ambient temperatures and/or by gripping the handgrips excessively
tightly. Period of use you can extend with appropriate gloves or regular breaks. Take frequent work
breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY POINTS
1. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chainsaw is operating. Before you start the
chainsaw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating
chainsaws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
2. Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle.
Holding the chainsaw with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury and should
never be done.
3. Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is
recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental
contact with the saw chain.
4. Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree. Operation of a chainsaw while up in a tree may result in personal
injury.

5. Always keep proper footing and operate the chainsaw only when standing on fixed, secure and level
surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the
chainsaw.
6. When cutting a tree limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood
fibre is released, the spring-loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the chainsaw out of control.
7. Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the saw chain and
be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
8. Carry the chainsaw by the front handle with the chain brake on, chainsaw switched off and the saw chain
away from your body. When transporting or storing the chainsaw always fit the guide bar cover. Proper
handling of the chainsaw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
9. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
10. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of
control.
11. Cut wood only. Do not use the chainsaw for purposes not intended. For example: do not use the chainsaw
for cutting plastic, masonry, or non-wood building materials. Use of the chainsaw for operations different
than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF KICKBACK:
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and
pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the
operator. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards
the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the chainsaw which could result in serious personal
injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your chainsaw. As a chainsaw user, you should
take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided
by taking proper precautions as given below:
•Keep a good grip on the saw with both hands, the right hand on the rear handle and trigger, and the left
hand on the front handle, when the engine is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling
the chainsaw handles. A firm grip will help you reduce kickback and maintain control of the saw. Do not let
go.
•Make certain that the area in which you’re cutting is free from obstructions. Do not let the nose of the
guide bar contact a log, branch, or any other obstruction which could be hit while you are operating the
chainsaw.
3. Check the bar, chain and sprockets at frequent intervals for proper tightness. Also, visually inspect spindle
for damage. Replace with the original equipment manufacture’s (O.E.M.) parts only, listed in this manual.
“Use of parts which do not meet the original equipment specifications may lead to improper performance
and compromise safety!”
4. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
5. Never tamper with safety devices. Check the correct operation regularly.
6. After striking a foreign object, stop the motor, disconnect the spark plug cap from the spark plug.
Thoroughly inspect the chainsaw for any damage. Repair the damage before starting and operating the
chainsaw.
7. Chainsaw components, guards and shields are subject to wear and damage which could expose moving
parts or allow objects to be thrown. For safety protection, frequently check components and replace
immediately with original equipment manufacturers (O.E.M.) parts only, listed in this manual. “Use of
parts which do not meet the original equipment specifications may lead to improper performance and
compromise safety!”
8. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.
9. Observe proper disposal laws and regulations. Improper disposal of fluids and materials can harm the
environment.
DO NOT MODIFY THE ENGINE
To avoid serious injury or death, do not modify the engine in any way. The engine has been tested to meet
stringent legislation tests.

moment of inattention while operating this machine can cause you to lose control & may result in series
personal injury.
5. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, sturdy gardening gloves, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing & gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. Prolonged use of the machine may lead to disorders of blood circulation in hands caused by vibration.
These effects can be worsened by low ambient temperatures and/or by gripping the handgrips excessively
tightly. Period of use you can extend with appropriate gloves or regular breaks. Take frequent work
breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY POINTS
1. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chainsaw is operating. Before you start the
chainsaw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating
chainsaws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
2. Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle.
Holding the chainsaw with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury and should
never be done.
3. Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is
recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental
contact with the saw chain.

PERSON PROTECTION
1. In case of any injury always proceed in accordance with the principles of first aid.
2. If someone is cut, cover the wound with a clean cloth & press hard to stop the flow of blood.
3. Do not let petrol or oil come in contact with your skin. Keep petrol and oil away from the eyes. If petrol or
oil come into contact with the eyes, wash them immediately with clean water. If irritation is still present,
see a doctor immediately.
4. Individuals with poor circulation who are exposed to excessive vibration may experience injury to blood
vessels or the nervous system. Vibration may cause the following symptoms to occur in the fingers, hands
or wrists: numbness, tingling, pain, stabbing sensation, alteration of skin colour or of the skin. If any of
these symptoms occur, see a doctor.
Put safety first in the case of fire:
5. If fire comes from the engine or smoke appears from anywhere other than the exhaust vent, at first
distance yourself from the product to ensure your physical safety.
6. Use a dry powder fire extinguisher on the fire to prevent it from spreading.
7. A panicked reaction could result in the fire and other damage becoming more extensive.
