•

Ensure the processed material is firmly fixed. 

•

Use clamps to fix the material. 

•

Hold the chain saw with both hands when star ting up and 
during operation.

•

During recoil the chain saw cannot be controlled and the chain 
is loosened (

fig. L

).

•

I

ncorrectly sharpened chain increases risk of recoil. 

•

Do not cut above level of your shoulders.

Avoid cutting with guide bar tip, it may cause sudden recoil 
– to the back and up. Always use complete safety equipment 
and appropriate working clothes when operating the chain 
saw.

Disassembly of protections, inappropriate operation, 
maintenance, improper guide bar or chain replacement may 
contribute to increase of risk of body injur y in case of a recoil.

Never modify the saw in any way. By using modified chain saw, 
the user looses all warranty rights. Warranty voids also when 
the chain saw is used inaccordingly to information contained 
in this manual.

When cutting wood follow guidelines for safety of work and do 
as follows: 

•

Ensure the wood piece cannot be moved. 

•

Use clamps to fix shor t pieces of material before cutting. 

•

Cut wood or wood-like materials only. 

•

Before cutting ensure the chain saw will not come into contact 
with stones or nails, as it could cause pulling the saw out and 
damage to the chain. 

•

A

void situations when working saw might touch wired fence 

or ground. 

•

When cutting branches suppor t the saw as much as possible 
and do not cut with the tip of the guide bar.

•

Watch out for obstacles such as protruding stumps, roots, 
hollows and holes in the ground, as they may be cause of an 
accident.

F E L L I N G  A T R E E 

Define the tree fall line. Consider wind, lean of the tree, location 
of heavy branches, complexity of work after tree fall and other 
factors.

•

When tidying area around the tree remember to ensure proper 
ground grip and escape path to use when the tree falls.

•

Predict and tidy up two escape paths at 45

0

 angle, counting 

from the line opposite to expected line of the tree fall. There 
must be no obstacles on these paths (

fig. M

).

•

ake a notch at the side of the fall, one third of the trunk 

diameter deep (

).

•

M

ake a felling cut at the side opposite to the previously made 

felling notch, and a little higher than lower sur face of the 
notch. 

•

I

nser t wedges on time to avoid pinching of the saw chain. 

•

Fell the tree by driving a wedge rather than cutting through 
the whole trunk.

When felling trees obser ve all safety rules and do as follows:

• When the chain is pinched, switch off the chain saw and 

release the chain with a wedge. Wedge should be made of 
wood or plastic. Never use steel or cast iron wedge.

• Falling tree may pull other trees. 

• Danger zone radius is 2.5 height of the falling tree (fig. M).

• If the operator is inexperienced or amateur it is 

recommended to have a training rather than gaining the 
experience without supervision.

Do not fell trees when:

• Conditions in danger zone cannot be determined due to 

fog, rain, snow or darkness.

• Line of tree felling cannot be determined due to wind or 

wind blows. 

CUT TING THROUGH TRUNKS

•

Press the bumper spike (

19

) against the material and make a 

cut (

fig. O

). 

•

I

f the cutting cannot be finished even after the chain saw 

range is fully utilized, do as follows:

•

M

ove the guide bar back from the cut material to a cer tain 

distance (with cutting chain still operating) and move the 
main handle (

12

) a little down, suppor t the bumper spike (

19

) 

and finish the cut by lifting the main handle (

12

) a little.

CUT TING A TRUNK LYING ON THE GROUND 

• Always keep good feet and ground grip. Do not stand on 

the trunk.

• Watch out for possibility of the trunk rotation. 

• Observe manual guidelines related to work safety to avoid 

the chain saw recoil.

• Always finish cutting at the side opposite to compressive 

stress to avoid pinching the chain in ker f.

•

Before star ting to work check the stress direction in the trunk 
that is to be cut, to avoid pinching chain of the saw.

•

To eliminate stress, the first cut should be made at the tension 
side.

•

When cutting a trunk that is lying on the gound, first make a 
cut deep 1/3 of the trunk diameter, then turn the trunk over 
and finish cutting at the opposite side.

•

When cutting a trunk that is lying on the ground, do not allow 
to sink the cutting chain into the ground under the trunk. 

N

egligence may cause immediate damage to the chain. 

•

When cutting trunk that is lying on the slope, the operator 
should always be at the slope side above the trunk.

CUT TING A TRUNK LIFTED ABOVE THE GROUND

I

n case the log is suppor ted or placed on stable sawing horse, 

depending on the place of operation, make the cut 1/3 of the 
trunk diameter deep on the side under tension and finish cutting 
on the opposite side (

fig. P

 and

 R

).

•

Star t cutting branches of a felled tree at its base and continue 
towards top of the tree. Do small branches with a single cut.

•

First, check which way the branch bends. Then make a cut from 
the inside of the bend and finish cutting on the opposite side. 
Be careful, the branch being cut may spring back. 

•

When trimming tree branches, always cut downward to enable 
free fall of cut branch. However, sometimes undercutting the 
branch from the bottom may be helpful (

fig. S

). 

•

Be ver y careful when cutting a branch that may be under 
stress. Such branch may spring aside and hit the operator.

Do not cut branches when climbing up the tree. Do not stand 
on ladder, platforms, logs or positions that may cause loss of 
balance and control over the chain saw. Do not cut above level 
of your shoulders. Always hold the chain saw with both hands.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

Ensure the engine is switched off and is cold before cleaning, 
checking or repairing the chain saw. Disconnect wire from the 
ignition plug to prevent accidental star t up of the engine.

S TO R AG E

•

Empty the fuel system before deciding to store the tool for 
more than one month.

•

Drain fuel from the fuel tank, star t the engine and allow it to 
use all remaining fuel and stop working. 

•

Use new fuel each season. 

N

ever use any cleaning agents on 

fuel tank, it may damage the engine.

•

Pay special attention to keep the ventilation holes of the 
engine casing per vious.
