FUEL HANDLING
 Be very careful when handling fuels. They are flammable and the vapors are explosive.
 Use only an approved container.
 Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel while the machine is on. Turn off the unit and allow the engine
and exhaust components to cool before refueling.
 Do not smoke.
 Never refuel inside a room.

 When transporting and storing, always place the tool in its transport guard and protective device on it.
CAUSES OF REBOUNDS AND PREVENTION BY THE OPERATOR
 Bounce may occur when the spout or end of the chain guide touches an object, or when the wood
tightens and pinches the cutting chain in the cutting section.
 The contact of the tip may in some cases cause a sudden reverse reaction by bouncing the chain guide
up and back towards the operator.
 Pinching of the cutting chain on the upper part of the chain guide can force the chain guide to the
operator abruptly.
 Either of these reactions can result in loss of control of the saw likely to result in a serious personal
injury. Do not rely exclusively on safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user, all measures
should be taken to eliminate the risk of accident or injury during cutting.
 Bounce results from improper use of the tool and / or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking the appropriate precautions specified below:
Hold the saw with both hands firmly with the thumbs and fingers encircling the handles of the saw
-
and place your body and arms to allow you to withstand the rebound forces. The rebound forces
