• Make a wedge-shaped cut before felling the tree, then the felling cut
leaving a hinge for the felling direction.
• Beware of any falling branches after felling operations.
• Beware of wood splinters when cutting chopped wood.
• Ensure your chainsaw is suitable for the job.
• Never work above shoulder level or reach out to cut a branch: ensure you
have stable footing at all times.
• Do not operate in a hazardous location. Such areas include where there
is a risk of explosion of petrol fumes, leaking gas or explosive dust.
• Do not operate in a confined area. Exhaust gases, smoke or fumes could
reach dangerous concentrations.
• Protect your tool. This chainsaw is NOT WEATHERPROOF and should not
be left stored for periods of time where it is exposed to direct sunlight,
high ambient temperature and damp, wet or high humidity conditions.
• Take care not to spill fuel. When refuelling the chainsaw ensure that the
motor has been switched off. Prevent the spilling of fuel as this may also
ignite with the hot motor. Never refuel whilst the engine is running.
• Be careful where you store the chainsaw. Store the tool in a dry area away
from flammable liquids.
• Ensure you keep a safe distance from bystanders. The chainsaw emits
exhaust fumes.
• Operating instructions and instructions for common cutting tasks,
including the use of personal protection equipment, the need for
adequate training and the risks involved when operating the unit should
not be undertaken while tired, ill or under the influence of alcohol or
other drugs.
NOTE: Tree felling should not be attempted by un-trained operators.
Ensure you are familiar with the instructions in the manual before
undertaking this task.
• Ensure you use a 2-stroke oil / unleaded fuel mix making sure that you
mix 40 parts unleaded fuel to 1 part 2-stroke oil. If not, the engine will
overheat and cause damage to your chainsaw. We recommend ALDI
GARDENLINE Synthetic 2 Stroke Oil.
• Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank when engine is running or
hot. Do not smoke when filling fuel tank.
