• Use an appropriate type fuel container that comply with Australian standards.

• The fuel tank may be under pressure. Always loosen the fuel cap and wait for pressure to be equalized before removing
the cap.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors over bare ground and install the fuel cap securely. Do not pour fuel indoors.

STARTING ENGINE

• Move the chain saw at least 3m from the fuelling point before starting the engine.
• Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw when you are starting or cutting with the chain saw. Keep
bystanders and animals 15m out of the work area. Do not let anyone hold wood for you to cut.
• Do not start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path from the falling tree.
• Australian certified chainsaw chaps or trousers should be worn at all times while using a chainsaw.
• Safety vests, leg chaps and logger's pants of ballistic material are available. It is the operator's responsibility to wear
such additional protection if conditions warrant it.
• Never operate a chain saw when you are alone. Arrange to have someone remain within calling distance in case you
need help.
• Wipe any spilled fuel off the unit.
• Never refuel while the engine is still hot, because a fuel leak could start a fire.
• Do not store the unit with fuel in its tank, because a fuel leak could start a fire.
• Bring an extinguisher or shovel in case of fire. Despite the precautions which can be taken,operating a chain saw, or
just working in the forest, presents dangers.
• After refuelling tighten fuel cap firmly and check for leakage. In case of fuel leakage repair before starting operation
since there is a danger of fire.
• Before you start the engine, make sure that the saw chain is not contacting anything
