■Before operate the product

1. Before using our products, please read this manual carefully to understand the proper
use of your unit.

9
 Original Instructions

2. Never operate a chain saw when you are fatigued, ill, or upset, or under the influence
of medication that may make you drowsy, or if you are under the influence of alcohol or
drugs.

3. Operate the chain saw only in well ventilated areas. Never start or run the engine
inside a closed room or building. Exhaust fumes contain dangerous carbon monoxide.

4. Never cut in high wind, bad weather, when visibility is poor or in very high or low
temperatures. Always check the tree for dead branches which could fall during the felling
operation.

5. Use safety and slip-resistant footwear, snug fitting clothing and eye, hearing and head
protection devices. Use the anti-vibration(AV) glove.
It is believed that a condition called Raynaud’s phenomenon, which affects the fingers of
certain individuals may be brought about by exposure to vibration and cold. Loss of color
and numbness in the fingers. The following precautions are strongly recommended
because the minimum exposure which might trigger the ailment is unknown.
Keep your body warm, especially the head, neck, feet, ankles, hands and wrists.
Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous arm exercises during frequent
work breaks and also by not smoking. Keep the saw chain sharp and the saw, including
the AV system, well maintained. A dull chain will increase cutting time, and pressing a
dull chain through wood will increase the vibrations transmitted to your hands. A saw
with loose components or with damaged or worn AV buffers will also tend to have
higher vibration levels. Limit the hours of operation.
All the above mentioned precautions do not guarantee that you will not sustain white
finger disease or carpal tunnel syndrome. Therefore, continual and regular users should
monitor closely the condition of their hands fingers.
3. For safe operation
If any of the above symptoms appear, seek medical advice immediately.
6. Always use caution when handling fuel. Wipe up all spills and then move the chain saw
at least ten(10)feet (three(3) m) from the fueling point before starting the engine.

10
 Original Instructions

7. Eliminate all sources of sparks or flame (e.g. smoking, open flames, or work that can
cause sparks) in the areas where fuel is mixed, poured, or stored.
Do not smoke while handling fuel or while operating the chain saw.

8. Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw when starting the engine or
cutting a wood. Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area. Children, pets, and
bystanders should be a minimum of 30feet (10m) away when you start or operate the
chain saw.

9. Never start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and planned
retreat path from the falling tree.

10. Always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands when the engine is running. Use a
firm grip with thumb and fingers encircling the chain saw handles.

11. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the engine is running.
Before you start the engine, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything.

12. Always carry the chain saw with the engine stopped, the guide bar and saw chain to
the rear, and the muffler away from your body.

13. Always inspect the chain saw before each use for worn, loose, or changed parts.
Never operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or is not completely
and securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the throttle
control trigger is released.

14. All chain saw service, other than the items listed in the Operator’s Manual, should be
performed by competent chain saw service personnel. (e.g., 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 which could
subsequently cause the flywheel to disintegrate).

11
 Original Instructions
3. For safe operation

15. Always shut off the engine before setting it down.

16. 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.

17. 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 fibers is released.

18. Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil or fuel mixture.

19. Guard against kickback. Kickback is the upward motion of the guide bar which occurs
when the saw chain at the nose of the guide bar contacts an object. Kickback can lead to
dangerous loss of control of the chain saw.

20. When transporting your chain saw, make sure the appropriate guide bar scabbard is
in place. Securely place the machine during transport to prevent loss of fuel, damage or
injury.

KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR CHAIN SAW USERS

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. Tip contact in some cases may
cause a lightning fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide
bar up and back towards the operator. Pinching the saw
chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide
bar rapidly back towards the operator. Either of these
reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious
personal injury.
3. For safe operation

12
 Original Instructions
● Do not rely exclusively on the safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user
you should take several steps to keep cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
(1) With a basic understanding of kickback you can reduce or eliminate the element of
surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.

(2) Keep a good grip on the saw with both hands,

the right hand on the rear handle, and the left
hand on the front handle, when the engine 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 certain that the area in which you’re
cutting 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 manufacturers sharpening and
maintenance instructions for saw chain.
(7) Only use replacement bars and chains
specified by the manufacturer or the equivalent.

Before proceeding to your job, read "For Safe

Operation" section it is recommended to first
practice sawing easy logs. This also helps you get
accustomed to your unit.
Always follow all the safety regulations which can
restrict the use of the machine. The chain saw must
only be used for cutting wood. It is forbidden to cut
other types of material. Vibrations and kickback vary
with different materials and the requirements of the
safety regulations would not be respected. Do not
use the chain saw as a lever for lifting, moving or
splitting objects. Do not lock it over fixed stands. It is
forbidden to hitch tools or applications to the P.T.O.
that are not specified by the manufacturer.
It is not necessary to force the saw into the cut.
Apply only light pressure while running the engine at
full throttle.
It is recommended that daily inspection before use
and after dropping or other impacts to identify
significant damage or defects.
Racing the engine with the chain seized in a cutaway
can damage the clutch system. When the saw chain
is caught in the cut, do not attempt to pull it out by
force, but use a wedge or a lever to open the cut.

22
 Original Instructions
■ Guard against kickback
This saw is also equipped with a chain brake that will
stop the chain in the event of kickback if operating
properly. You must check the chain brake operation
before each usage by running the saw at full throttle

7. Sawing
for 1 or 2 seconds and pushing the front hand guard
forward. The chain should stop immediately with the
engine at full speed. If the chain is slow to stop or
does no stop then replace the brake band and clutch
drum before use.
It is extremely important that the chain brake be
checked for proper operation before each use and
that the chain be sharp in order to maintain the
kickback safety level of this saw. Removal of the
safety devices, inadequate maintenance, or incorrect
replacement of the bar or chain may increase the
risk of serious personal injury due to kickback.

■ Felling a tree

9. Maintenance of Saw Chain and Guide Bar

■ Saw chain

It is very important for smooth and safe operation to

keep the cutters always sharp.
Your cutters need to be sharpened when:
• Sawdust becomes powder-like.
• You need extra force to saw in.
• The cut way does not go straight.
• Vibration increases.
• Fuel consumption increases.

Cutter setting standards:

Be sure to wear safety gloves.

Before filing:
• Make sure the saw chain is held securely.
• Make sure the engine is stopped.
• Use a round file of proper size for your chain.
Chain type:

Place your file on the cutter and push straight forward.
Keep the file position as illustrated.
After every cutter has been set, check the depth gauge and file it to the proper level as
illustrated.

Be sure to round off the front edge to reduce the chance of kickback or tie-strap
breakage.

9. Maintenance of Saw Chain and Guide Bar

Guide bar
• Reverse the bar occasionally to prevent partial
wear.
• The bar rail should always be a square. Check for
wear of the bar rail. Apply a ruler to the bar and the
outside of a cutter. If a gap is observed between
them, the rail is normal. Otherwise, the bar rail is
worn. Such a bar needs to be corrected or replaced.
