WARNING
The warnings and instructions in this section of the
operator's manual are for your safety and to prevent
serious personal injury.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR
DEVICES
Low kick-back saw chain
A low-kick-back saw chain is a chain which has met the
kickback performance requirements.
The rakers (depth gauges) ahead of each cutter can
minimise the force of a kick-back reaction by preventing
the cutters from digging in too deeply at the kick-back zone.
Only use replacement chain that is equivalent to the original
As saw chains are sharpened, they lose some of the low
kickback qualities and extra caution is required.
Spiked bumper
The integral bumper spike may be used as a pivot when
making a cut.
Guide bars
Generally, guide bars with small radius tips have somewhat
lower kick-back potentials.
Chain brake
Chain brakes are designed to quickly stop the chain from
rotating. When the chain brake lever/hand guard is pushed
towards the bar, the chain should stop immediately. A
chain brake does not prevent kick-back. The chain brake
should be cleaned and tested daily. Refer to "operation"
later in this manual for additional information.

B: Brake position
WARNING
Even with daily cleaning of the mechanism, the
WARNING
Kick-back occurs when the moving chain contacts an
object at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar
or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain
in the cut. Contact at the upper portion of the tip of the
guide bar may cause the chain to dig into the object and
stop the chain for an instant. The result is a lightning-
fast, reverse reaction which kicks the guide bar up and
back towards the operator. If the saw chain is pinched
along the top of the guide bar, the guide bar can be
driven rapidly back towards the operator. Either of these
reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw,
which could result in serious injury.
CHAINSAW SAFETY
Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into
your saw. As a chainsaw user, you should take several
steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
WARNING
Skating - when the chainsaw fails to dig in during a cut,
the guide bar can begin hopping or dangerously skidding
along the surface of the log or branch, possibly resulting
in the loss of control of the chainsaw. To prevent or
reduce the skating, hold the chainsaw with two hands
and make sure the saw chain establishes a groove for
cutting.
TRANSPORTING THE PRODUCT
When carrying the product for short distance (from one
working area to the next), always apply the brake so
that the product is blocked (preferably switch off the
product as well).
Never carry or transport the product while it is running.
To prevent the leakage of fuel or oil and damage in
general, secure the product when it is transported.
Check the fuel and chain lubricant tanks for leaks.
Drain the tanks prior to transport.
STORING THE CHAINSAW (1 MONTH OR LONGER)
1. Drain all fuel from tank into a container approved for
petrol.
2. Run the engine until it stops. This will remove all fuel-
lubricant mix that could become stale and leave varnish
and gum in the fuel system.
3. Drain all bar and chain lubricant from tank into a
container approved for lubricant.
4. Clean all foreign material from the saw.
5. Store it in a well-ventilated place that is inaccessible
to children.
NOTE: Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden
chemicals and de-icing salts.
Abide by all government and local regulations for the safe
storage and handling of petrol. Excess fuel should be used
in other 2-cycle engine powered equipment.
INSPECTION AFTER DROPPING OR OTHER IMPACTS
Thoroughly inspect the unit and identify any affections or
damage with the unit. Any damage must be replaced by
an authorised service center prior to use.
