Basic safety rules

Look around you:
•  To ensure that people, animals or other things can-

not affect your control of the machine.

•  To make sure that none of the above might come 

within reach of your saw or be injured by falling 
trees.

CAUTION! Follow the instructions above, but 
do not use a chain saw in a situation where you 
cannot call for help in case of an accident.

Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense 
fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. 

Working

in bad weather is tiring and often brings added risks, 
such as icy ground, unpredictable felling direction, etc.
3 Take great care when removing small branches and 
avoid cutting bushes (i.e. cutting many small branches 
at the same time). Small branches can be grabbed by 
the chain and thrown back at you, causing serious in-
jury.
4 Take great care when cutting a tree that is in ten-
sion. A tree that is in tension may spring back to its 
normal position before or after being cut. If you posi-
tion yourself incorrectly or make the cut in the wrong 
place the tree may hit you or the machine and cause 
you to lose control. Both situations can cause serious 
personal injury.
5 Before moving your chain saw switch off the engine 
and lock the chain using the chain brake. Carry the 
chain saw with the bar and chain pointing backwards. 
Fit a guard to the bar before transporting the chain saw 
or carrying it for any distance.
6 When you put the chain saw on the ground, lock the 
saw chain using the chain brake and ensure you have 
a constant view of the machine. Switch the engine off 
before leaving your chain saw for any length of time.

WARNING! Sometimes chips get stuck in the 
clutch cover causing the chain to jam. Always 
stop the engine before cleaning.

GENERAL RULES

1 If you understand what kickback is and how it hap-
pens then you can reduce or eliminate the element of 
surprise. By being prepared you reduce the risk.
Kickback is usually quite mild, but it can sometimes be 
very sudden and violent.
2 Always hold the chain saw 

fi

 rmly with your right hand 

on the rear handle and your left hand on the front han-
dle. Wrap your 

fi

 ngers and thumbs around the handles. 

You should use this grip whether you are right-handed 
or left-handed. This grip minimises the effect of kick-
back and lets you keep the chain saw under control. Do 
not let go of the handles!
3 Most kickback accidents happen during limbing. 
Make sure you are standing 

fi

 rmly and that there is 

nothing in the way that might make you trip or lose your 
balance.

Warm engine

Use the same procedure as for starting a cold engine 
but without setting the choke control in the choke posi-
tion. Set the throttle to the start position by pulling out 
the blue choke control to the choke position and then 
pushing it in again.

WARNING! Long term inhalation of the en-
gine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist and dust 
from sawdust can represent a health risk.

•  Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and 

all covers are 

fi

 tted correctly. See instructions under 

the heading Assembly. Without a bar and chain at-
tached to the chain saw the clutch can come loose 
and cause serious injury.

•  The chain brake should be activated when starting. 

See instructions under the heading Start and stop. 
Do not drop start. This method is very dangerous 
because you may lose control of the saw.

•  Never start the machine indoors. Exhaust fumes can 

be dangerous if inhaled.

•  Observe your surroundings and make sure that 

there is no risk of people or animals coming into 
contact with the cutting equipment.

•  Always hold the saw with both hands. The right hand 

should be on the rear handle, and the left hand on 
the front handle. All people, whether right or left 
handed, should use this grip. Use a 

fi

 rm grip with 

thumbs and 

fi

 ngers encircling the chain saw han-

dles.

Stopping

Stop the engine by pressing down the stop button.
