cutting - at least 10m.

worn or damaged parts. Do not use until the parts are repaired or replaced.

• Before starting the engine make sure the chain is not incontactwith anything

and have a clear work area and secure footing.

• Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands when using and keep all parts of

your body away from the machine. Put the scabbard on for transportation.

• Always carry the chainsaw with the engine stopped, the bar and chain to the

rear and the muffler away from your body.

• Beware of small branches and saplings whipping back towards you as you

cut. When cutting a limb which is under tension, be alert to the possibility of

the limb springing back when the tension is released.

not

cut in high wind, bad weather or poor visibility. Check the tree for

dead branches which could fall during operation.

A

word

about

KICKBACK

Kickback can occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or

when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain.

Do not rely solely on the safety devices built into your chainsaw.

• Keep a good grip on the saw with both hands - this will help you mantain

control should kickback occur.

• Ensurethattheareainwhichyouarecutting isclearandfreefromobstructions

so that the tip does not make contact with another log or obstruction.

• Always cut at high engine speeds and do not overreach or cut above

shoulder height.

• Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for sharpening and maintaining the

chain and only use replacement bars and chains specified.
