INSTRUCTION MANUAL
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
WARNING
Always ensure your foothold as well as stability of the tree.
Be alert to the rolling over of a cut log.
Avoid kickback of the saw.
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
caught in the cutaway.
CUTTING LOGS
Observe the following safety instructions:
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
leverage with the gripping spike is not possible. Saw at a flat angle to avoid kickback.
When working on a slope, operate above or to the side of the trunk or laying tree.
Be careful not to trip over tree stumps, branches, roots, etc.
CUTTING WOOD UNDER TENSION
There is a high risk of accidents when sawing wood, branches or trees under tension. Be extremely careful.
Leave saw jobs like these to professionals.
When sawing logs supported on both ends, start the cut from above (Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into the log
and then finish the cut (Z) from below, in order to avoid contact of the chainsaw with the ground. When
sawing logs supported on only one end, start the cut from below (Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into the log and
finish the cut from above (Z) in order to avoid splitting or jamming of the chainsaw.
