GENERAL BEHAVIOUR
•
Hold the chainsaw on the right-side of your body, during use.
Always hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands. Hold the front handle with your left handle and the rear
•
handle with trigger in your right hand.
The chain must be running at full speed before it makes contact with the wood.
•
•
Use the metal gripping spike on the front of the chainsaw, to secure onto the wood before starting to cut
Reset the metal gripping spike at a low point when sawing thicker logs, by pulling the chainsaw, slightly
•
backwards, until the gripping spike releases and reposition at a lower level to continue sawing. Do not
remove the chainsaw completely from the wood.
•
Do not force the chain whilst cutting, let the chain do the work, using the gripping spike to apply minimal
leverage pressure.
Do not operate the chainsaw with arms fully extended or attempt to saw areas which are difficult to
•
reach, or on a ladder. Never use the chainsaw above shoulder height.
Sawing is optimized when the chain speed remains steady during cutting. Beware when reaching the end
•
of the cut. The weight of the saw may change unexpectedly, as it cuts free from the wood. Accidents can
occur to the legs and feet. Always remove the saw from a wood cut while the saw is running
METAL GRIPPING SPIKE
The metal gripping spike must always be put on while using the chainsaw on tree trunk. Push the metal
gripping spike into the tree trunk by using the rear handle. Push the front handle in the direction of cutting
line. The gripping spike must remain set for further saw guiding if necessary.
Use the gripping spike when cutting trees and thick branches, it can ensure your safety and decrease the
working strength and vibration level.
FOREIGN OBJECTS
If there's a foreign object between the cutting material and chainsaw, turn off the machine. Wait until it stops
completely. Wear safety gloves and remove the foreign object. If the chain must be removed, a trial run must
be conducted after the cleaning and new installation. If vibration or mechanical noise is discovered, please
stop and contact your local approved service dealer.
LOGGING & LIMBING
Before starting work, check the direction of bending force inside the log to be cut.
Always finish cutting from the opposite side of bending direction to prevent the guide bar from being
CUTTING LOGS

Support the log being cut, to prevent face sides from closing in against each other, which would result in the
chain being jammed or pinched.
Position and set short logs safely prior to sawing. Saw only wood or wooden objects.
When sawing, always take care to avoid hitting stones, nails etc, as these could be thrown up, cause damage to
the chain or serious injury to the operator or bystanders.
Keep a running saw clear of wire fencing or the ground.
Use of the saw to thin out branches or bushes is not approved. Length cuts must be carried out with care, as
