WARNING
• Remove any accessory or loose
clothing that could get trapped in the moving cutting
chain. Fasten your hair so it stays above your elbows.
• Double check the chain saw is in perfect working
conditions. Do not turn on if mal adjusted or not fully
assembled so it can run in a safe manner.
• Make sure the cutting chain stops moving when
releasing the throttle trigger. In the event the chain does
not stop, adjust the carburetor (page 20).
If after adjusting the carburetor the chain is not stopping
when the throttle trigger is released, turn off the chain
saw and take it to a
Service Center to solve the problem.
• Do not turn on the chain saw if finding in it any

• Double check the chain saw handles are clean, dry and
free of oil or fuel.
• Confirm the work area is open and well ventilated.
When Operating the Chain Saw
• Keep all the work colleagues at a safe distance from the
chain saw while starting it or operating. A safe distance is
15 feet between the workers.
• Double check the passersby or animals are even farther
away from the work area before starting and operating
the chain saw. A safe area is at least double than the
tallest trees' height in the felling zone.
• Make sure the cutting chain is not making contact with
any object before starting the motor.
WARNING • Keep both feet firmly supported on
the ground. Do not operate the chain saw if standing on
an unstable surface like ladders, scaffolding, trees, etc.
Only highly qualified staff can operate the chain saw up in
a tree and with the adequate safety equipment.
