ASSEMBLY (cont.) • Do not use fuel mixtures that have been left standing for one month or more, they can cause clogging of the carburettor. Before storing the chainsaw for an extended period, empty the fuel tank, clean it then run the motor to empty the carburettor. Note: Do not discard an unwanted fuel container with household waste.
OPERATION 3. Fasten the chain bar oil tank cap (24) and wipe up any oil spillage. Starting the chainsaw Warning! Do not start the motor whilst the saw hangs from one hand. This is very dangerous as the chain may come in contact with your body. 1.
OPERATION (cont.) CHOKE 8. When restarting the engine when it is still warm, set the choke control (1) to the START position. Hold the chainsaw securely on the ground and pull START vigorously on the recoil starter (9). Allow the engine to run for a few moments with the throttle trigger (4) pulled slightly.
OPERATION (cont.) Chain brake / Anti kickback guard The chain brake operates automatically in the even of kick back. Kick back occurs if the chain catches on the wood being cut. In the event of the chain catching, chainsaw will push back suddenly, when this happens, your hand (which is on the side handle (10) during operation) will naturally move forward automatically causing the guard to be pushed forward, engaging the chain brake.

OPERATION (cont.) Felling a tree Warning! Felling a tree should only be done by trained operators. Decide the direction in which you wish the tree to fall taking into account the direction of the wind, the position of branches, lean of the tree, ease of subsequent limbing and bucking and other factors prevalent at the time.
OPERATION (cont.) Pruning Pruning is the removal of a limb or branch from a standing tree. Warning! Do not use an unstable foothold or ladder. Do not overreach. Do not saw above shoulder height. Always use both hands to hold the saw. First cut up from the bottom and finish down from the top.
