WARNING
Before proceeding to your job, read "For Safe Operation" section It is
recommended to first practice sawing easy logs. This also helps you
get accustomed to your chainsaw.
Always follow the safety regulations. The chainsaw must only be used
for cutting wood. It is forbidden to cut other types of material.
Vibrations and kickback vary with different materials and the
requirements of the safety regulations would not be respected. Do not
use the chain saw as a lever for lifting, moving or splitting objects. Do
not lock it over fixed stands. It is forbidden to hitch tools or applica-
tions to the P.T.O. that are not specified by the manufacturer.
It is not necessary to force the saw into the cut. Apply only light
pressure while running the engine at full throttle.
Racing the engine with the chain seized in a cutaway can damage the
clutch system. When the saw chain is caught in the cut, do not attempt
to pull it out by force, but use a wedge or a lever to open the cut.
GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK
This saw is also equipped with a chain brake that will stop the chain in
the event of kickback if operating properly. You must check the chain
brake operation before each usage by running the saw at full throttle
for 1 or 2 seconds and pushing the front hand guard forward. The
chain should stop immediately with the engine at full speed. If the
chain is slow to stop or does no stop then replace the brake band and
clutch drum before use.
