equipped with anti-vibration system, the ex-

cessively prolonged continuous operation

may cause circulatory or neurological prob-

lems in the operator's hands due to vibration.

If any of the symptoms appear (like tingling,

pins and needles, numbness, fingers discol-

oration or manual dexterity) seek medical ad-

vice immediately. Symptoms worsen in cold

weather.

26. Prior to performing a cut, check wood for

presence of foreign objects (wedges, nails,

stones, etc.).

27. Drive in the spiked bumper of the chain saw

directly behind the intended hinge and pivot

the saw around this point. The spiked bumper

rolls against the trunk.

28. The user is permitted to replace 3 parts only -

chain, bar and spark plug and they must be

the same type as shown in the specifications

herewith. Type for the plug is NGK CMR7H. If

other components beyond these 3 parts are

defective, take your chain saw to the nearest

authorised SPARKY service centre.

29. Underage individuals are not allowed to oper-

ate the saw. This prohibition does not concern

persons over 16 years, operating the machine

under supervision of professionals.

NOTE: This appendix is intended primarily for

the consumer or occasional user. These models

are intended for infrequent use by homeowners,

cottagers, and campers, and for such general ap-

plications as clearing, pruning, cutting firewood,

etc. They are not intended for prolonged use. If

the intended use involves prolonged periods of

operation, this may cause circulatory problems in

the user's hands due to vibration.

KICKBACK SAFETY MEASURES

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. If the bar tip contacts, it may cause a lightning-

fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and

back towards the operator.

Pinching the saw chain along the bottom of the

guide bar may pull the saw forward away from the

operator. Pinching the saw chain along the top of

the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back

toward the operator.

Either of these reactions may cause you to lose

control of the saw, which could result in serious

personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the

safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw

user, you should take several steps to keep your

cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

Original instructions

1. With a basic understanding of kickback, you

can reduce or eliminate the element of sur-

prise. Sudden surprise contributes to acci-

dents.

2. Keep a good firm grip on the saw with both

hands, the right hand on the rear handle, and

the left hand on the front handle, when the en-

gine is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs

and fingers encircling the chain saw handles.

A firm grip will help you reduce kickback and

maintain control of the saw. Don't let go.

3. Make sure that the area in which you are cut-

ting 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 saw.

4. Cut at high engine speeds.

5. Do not overreach or cut above shoulder

height.

6. Follow manufacturer's sharpening and main-

tenance instructions for the saw chain.

7. Only use replacement bars and chains speci-

fied by the manufacturer or the equivalent.

NOTE: Low-kickback saw chain is chain that has

met the kickback performance.
