Operating Instructions

In the event of an emergency, switch off

the engine immediately – move the

master control lever to 0 or STOP.

Accelerating the engine while the saw

chain is blocked increases the load and

will cause the clutch to slip continuously.

This may occur if the throttle is

depressed for more than a few seconds

when the chain is pinched in the cut or

the chain brake is engaged. It can result

in overheating and damage to important

components (e. g. clutch, polymer

housing components) – which can then

increase the risk of injury, e. g., from the

saw chain moving while the engine is

idling.

Warning!

Inhalation of certain dusts, especially

organic dusts such as mold or pollen,

can cause susceptible persons to have

an allergic or asthmatic reaction. Sub-

stantial or repeated inhalation of dust

and other airborne contaminants, in par-

ticular those with a smaller particle size,

may cause respiratory or other ill-

nesses. This includes wood dust,

especially from hardwoods, but also

from some softwoods such as Western

Red Cedar. Control dust at the source

where possible. Use good work prac-

tices, such as always cutting with a

properly sharpened chain (which pro-

duces wood chips rather than fine dust)

and operating the unit so that the wind

or operating process directs any dust

raised by the power tool away from the

operator. Follow the recommendations

of EPA/OSHA/NIOSH and occupational

and trade associations with respect to

dust ("particulate matter"). When the

inhalation of dust cannot be substan-

tially controlled, i.e., kept at or near the

ambient (background) level, the opera-

tor and any bystanders should wear a

respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA

for the type of dust encountered.

Warning!

Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous

and can cause severe or fatal illness,

respiratory illness or cancer. The use

and disposal of asbestos-containing

products have been strictly regulated by

OSHA and the Environmental Protec-

tion Agency. If you have any reason to

believe that you might be cutting asbes-

tos, immediately contact your employer

or a local OSHA representative.

Warning!

To reduce risk of elec-

trocution, take extra

precautions when cutting

near power lines. Have

the power switched off

before starting cutting

work in the immediate vicinity of power

lines.

Warning!

Do not operate your chain saw with the

starting throttle lock engaged. Cutting

with the starting throttle lock engaged

does not permit the operator proper

control of the saw or chain speed. Begin

cutting with the saw at full throttle,

engage the bumper spike firmly in the

wood (if possible) and then continue

cutting. Always work with the bumper

spike so that you have better control of

the saw. If you work without the bumper

spike the saw may pull you forwards

suddenly.

Warning!

Never touch a chain with your hand or

any part of your body when the engine

is running, even when the chain is not

rotating.

Warning!

Always stop the engine before putting a

chain saw down.

Warning!

The saw chain continues to move for a

short period after the throttle trigger is

released (flywheel effect).
