STOPPING THE ENGINE
See Figures 7 and 14.
Release the throttle trigger and let the engine return to
idle. To stop the engine, move the ignition switch to the
stop (0) position. Do not put the chainsaw on the ground
when the chain is still moving. For additional safety, set the
chain brake when the saw is not in use.
In the event that the ignition switch will not stop the saw,
pull the choke lever out to the fully extended position (Full
Choke) and engage the chain brake to stop the engine.
If the ignition switch will not stop the saw when set to the
stop position, have the ignition switch repaired before
using the chainsaw again to prevent unsafe conditions or
serious injury.
NOTE: When you are finished using the saw, always
relieve tank pressure by loosening, then retightening, the
chain lubricant and fuel caps. Allow the engine to cool
before storing.
ADJUSTING IDLE SPEED
See Figure 15.
If the engine starts, runs, and accelerates, but will
Q
not idle, turn the idle speed screw "T" clockwise to
increase idle speed to 2600~3600 rpm.
If the chain turns at idle, turn the idle speed screw
Q
"T" counter clockwise to reduce the idle RPM and
stop the chain movement. If the saw chain still moves
at idle speed, contact an authorised service centre
for adjustment and discontinue use until the repair is
E
made.
WARNING:
THE SAW CHAIN SHOULD NEVER TURN AT
IDLE. Serious personal injury may result from
the saw chain turning at idle.
PULL AND PUSH
See Figure 16.
The reaction force of the saw is always opposite to the
direction the chain is moving. Thus, the operator must
be ready to control the PULL when cutting on the bottom
edge of the bar and the PUSH when cutting along the
top edge.
Note: The chainsaw has been fully factory tested. It is
normal to find some slight lubricant residue on the saw.
KICKBACK PRECAUTIONS
See Figures 17 - 18.
Rotational kickback occurs when the moving chain
contacts an object at the Kickback Danger Zone of the
guide bar. The result is a lightning-fast reverse reaction,
which kicks the guide bar up and back towards the
operator. This reaction can cause loss of control, which
can result in serious injury.

Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and
protection.
Hold the saw firmly with both hands. Always keep
your left hand on the front handle and your right hand
on the rear handle so that your body is to the left of
the chain line.
WARNING:
Never use a left-handed (cross-handed) grip or
any stance that would place your body or arm
across the chain line.
Maintain a proper grip on the saw whenever the
engine is running. The fingers should encircle
the handle and the thumb is wrapped under the
handlebar. This grip is least likely to be broken by a
kickback or other sudden reaction of the saw. Any
grip in which the thumb and fingers are on the same
side of the handle is dangerous because a slight kick
of the saw can cause loss of control.
WARNING:
See Figure 20
DO NOT operate the throttle trigger with your left
hand and hold the front handle with your right
hand. Never allow any part of your body to be in
the chain line while operating a saw.
Balance your weight with both feet on solid ground.
Keep left arm with elbow locked in a "straight arm"
position to withstand any kickback force.
Keep your body to the left of the chain line.
Keep your thumb on underside of handlebar.
Cut only wood or materials made from wood
Never allow children to operate the saw. Do not Allow
persons to use this chainsaw who have not read this
operator's manual or received adequate instructions
for the safe and proper use of this chainsaw.
Keep helpers, bystanders, children, and animals,
a SAFE DISTANCE from the cutting area. During
felling operations, the safe distance should be a least
twice the height of the largest trees in the felling area.
During bucking operations, keep a minimum distance
of 5 metres between workers.
Always cut with both feet on solid ground to prevent
being pulled off balance.
Do not cut above chest height as a saw held higher is
difficult to control against kickback forces.
