WARNING!
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.
Always follow the safety regulations. 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 pres-
sure 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.
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
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 main-
tain 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.
