Basic operating/cutting procedure : illustration 13 to 17
WARNING: Chainsaws by their very nature are extremely
dangerous machines and should be handled with respect!
We strongly recommend that before use of this product, you attend a
chainsaw training course to familiarise yourself with the maintenance
and usage of these products! Thoroughly read this manual and adhere
to all safety instructions at all times. The manufacturer will not be
held liable for any accidents/injuries caused due to misuse or incorrect
maintenance of this product!
1. To become proficient, attend a recognised chainsaw training course to learn how to operate
chainsaws safely and eff ectively. Familiarise yourself with all the controls and switches. Practice all
movements with the product switched off .
2. Always hold the product firmly with both hands; front handle with the left hand and rear handle with
the right hand. Fully grip both handles at all times during operation. Never operate the product using
only one hand.
3. Only use the product with a secure stance. Hold the product at the right-hand side of your body.
NOTE : Any other cutting positions should not be used with this product except the chainsaw.
4. Check the lubrication. Start the tool and check whether the chain can give off a spray of oil within a
few seconds. If an oil trace can be seen, the chainsaw is lubricating.
5. Ensure the saw chain is running at full speed before it makes contact with the wood. Use spiked
bumper to secure the product onto the wood before starting to cut and use it as a leverage point
while cutting.
6. Reset the spiked bumper at a low point when cutting thicker logs by pulling the product slightly
backwards, until the gripping teeth release and re-position at lower level to continue sawing. Do not
remove the product completely from the wood.
7. Do not force the saw chain while cutting, let the chain do the work using the gripping teeth to apply
minimal leverage pressure.
8. Do not operate the product with arms fully extended or attempt to saw areas which are difficult to
reach, or on a ladder. Never use the product above shoulder height.
9. Optimum sawing is achieved if the chain speed remains constant during cutting.
10. Be careful when reaching the end of the cut. The weight of the product may change unexpectedly as
it cuts free from the wood. This can cause accidents to the legs and feet. Always remove the product
from a wood cut while the product is running.
11. Check that the oil feed to the chain is operating correctly; run the chain saw at medium speed and
ensure that the chain has received a consistent coating of oil.
