leased the spring loaded limb may strike the operator

and/or throw the chain saw out of control.

 Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings.

The slender material may catch the saw chain and be

whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

 Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain

saw switched off and away from your body. When

transporting or storing the chain saw, always fit the

guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chain saw will re-

duce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving

saw chain.

 Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning

and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or lubri-

cated chain may either break or increase the chance for

kickback.

 Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.

 Cut wood only. Don’t use chain saw for purposes not in-

tended. For example: do not use chain saw for cutting

plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of

the chain saw for operations different than intended could

result in a hazardous situation.

 Causes and operator prevention of kickback:

– Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar

touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches

the saw chain in the cut.

– Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse

reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the op-

erator.

– Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar

may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.

– Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of

the saw which could result in serious personal injury. Do

not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your

saw. As a chain saw user, you should take several steps to

keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect oper-

ating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by tak-

ing proper precautions as given below:

 Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encir-

cling the chain saw handles, with both hands on the saw

and position your body and arm to allow you to resist

kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the

operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of

the chain saw.

 Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height.

This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables bet-

ter control of the chain saw in unexpected situations.

 Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the

manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains

may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.

 Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and mainte-

nance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the

depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.

Additional safety warnings

 It is recommended that the first time user should have

practical instruction in the use of the chainsaw and the pro-

tective equipment from an experienced operator. The ini-

tial practice should be cutting logs on a saw horse or cra-

dle.

 This tool is not intended for use by persons (including chil-

dren) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabili-

ties, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they

have been given supervision or instruction concerning use

of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not

play with the appliance.

 Children and juveniles, with the exception of appren-

tices older than 16 years and under supervision, may

not operate the chain saw. The same applies for per-

sons who do not or do not sufficiently know how to han-

dle the chain saw. The operating instructions should al-

ways be ready to hand. Persons unfit or tired must not

operate the chain saw.

 When working with the machine, always hold it firmly

with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The

power tool is guided more secure with both hands.

 Always ensure all handles and guards are fitted when

using the machine. Never attempt to use an incomplete

machine or one fitted with an unauthorized modification.

 Always wait until the machine has come to a complete

stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and

lead to loss of control over the power tool.

Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a

BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA

If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be

ised customer service agent. The replacement plug should

have the same fuse rating as the original plug.

The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible

shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains sock-

et elsewhere.
