bystanders and animals out of the work area.
Do not start cutting until you have a clear work
■
area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path from
the falling tree.
Keep all parts of your body away from the saw
■
chain when the engine is running.
Always carry the chainsaw with the engine stopped
■
and the brake engaged, the guide bar and saw chain
to the rear, and the muffler away from your body. When
transporting the chainsaw, use the appropriate guide
bar scabbard.
Do not operate a chainsaw that is damaged,
■
improperly adjusted, or not completely and securely
assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving
when the throttle control trigger is released.
Shut off the engine before setting the chainsaw
■
down. Do not leave the engine running unattended. As
an additional safety precaution, apply the chain brake
prior to setting down the saw.
Use extreme caution when cutting small-size brush
■
and saplings because slender material may catch the
saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert
■
for spring back so that you will not be struck when the
tension in the wood fibres is released.
Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of lubricant or
■
fuel mixture.
Beware of carbon monoxide poisoning. Operate the
■
chainsaw only in well-ventilated areas.
Do not climb a tree to use the chainsaw, unless you
■
have been specifically trained to do so.
Do not cut from a ladder; this is extremely dangerous.
■
All chainsaw service, other than the items listed in
■
the instruction manual and all maintenance should be
performed by competent chainsaw service personnel.
(For example, if improper tools are used to remove
the flywheel or if an improper tool is used to hold
the flywheel in order to remove the clutch, structural
damage to the flywheel could occur and subsequently
could cause the flywheel to burst.)
Always have a fire extinguisher available when using
■
a chainsaw.
Use only the replacement guide bars and low
■
kickback chains specified for the saw.
Do not adapt the powerhead to a bow guide or use
■
it to power any attachments or devices not listed for the
saw.
The petrol powered saw is intended for infrequent
■
use by homeowners, cottagers, and campers, and for
such general applications as clearing, pruning, cutting
firewood, etc. It is not intended for prolonged use.
Prolonged periods of operation can cause circulatory

in serious personal injury.
Do not cut vines and/or small underbrush (a diameter

Muffler surfaces are very hot during and
immediately after operation of the chainsaw; keep
all body parts away from the muffler. Serious burns may
occur if contact is made with the muffler.
Always hold the chainsaw with both hands when
the engine is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs
and fingers encircling the chainsaw handles.
Never let anyone use the chainsaw who has not
received adequate instructions in its proper use.
This applies to rentals as well as privately owned saws.
Before you start the engine, make sure the saw chain
is not contacting any object.
Wear snug-fitting clothing. Always wear heavy, long
trousers, boots, and gloves. Do not wear jewellery,
shorts, sandals, or go barefoot. loose fitting clothing
could be drawn into the engine or catch the chain or
underbrush. Wear overalls, jeans, or chaps made of
cut-resistant material or ones that contain cut-resistant
inserts. Secure hair so that it is above shoulder level.
WARNING
Wear safety clothing rated to 'class 1' (use for
chainsaws).
Wear non-slip safety footwear and heavy-duty
gloves to improve your grip and to protect your hands.

with EN 166, as well as hearing and head protection,
when operating this equipment.
Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area.
Do not allow other persons to be nearby during starting
or cutting with the chainsaw.
Note: The size of the work area depends on the job
being performed as well as the size tree or work piece
involved. For example, felling a tree requires a larger
work area than making other cuts (i.e., bucking cuts,
etc.).
Follow the sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain.
Never operate a chainsaw that is damaged,
