25cc Multi-Head Garden System 633770
• Allow the blade to work steadily through the wood. It should not be
necessary to use force to make the saw cut. Slow cutting indicates a
blunt blade
• Do not allow the blade to touch the ground, or any object other than that
which you intend to cut
• Release the Throttle (5) as soon as the cut is complete
• Running the engine at full throttle without a load will cause rapid wear to
the engine, saw chain, and guide bar
Avoiding kickback
• Kickback is usually caused when the chain teeth near the tip of the
cutting bar 'bite' into a solid object. The resulting reactionary force may
make the saw violently accelerate up and back, towards the user
• The chain supplied with the chainsaw has been designed with kickback
reducing features. However, this does not mean that kickback will not
occur and you should be aware of kickback at all times. Careful use is
the best guarantee of safety
Maintenance
NOTE: Regular maintenance is essential to prolong the life of this power
tool. Without regular maintenance and proper storage the tool’s working life
will diminish considerably.
• Always stop the engine, and allow to cool, before performing any
cleaning / maintenance
• Ensure that all screws and bolts are tightly fastened so that the unit can
be used safely
• Never use the power tool if any of the parts appear worn or broken. In
such case, consult your retailer

DAMAGE TO THE UNIT, YOURSELF OR OTHERS IN THE VICINITY
Engine adjustment

Chainsaw – chain maintenance
• To extend the life of the saw chain and the efficiency of the saw, sharpen
the teeth regularly. This should only be carried out by a qualified and
experienced person
• If the teeth become worn through use, the chain should be replaced.
Consult your retailer or a suitably qualified and experienced technician

• Store all parts of the tool in a clean, dry place away from heat and
direct
sunlight. Ensure that all items are stored where children cannot get

from the machine into the drainage system or ground. Local service
stations and recycling sites have proper facilities for the disposal of such
materials and only these locations should be used to dispose of such
products. If you do not know the location of your nearest depot, contact
