B SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
1 All operators should read this manual carefully
before using this chainsaw.
Wear suitable clothing. This should include
snugly-fitting (safety) clothing, sturdy boots,
heavy duty gloves, goggles or a face screen
and ear plugs or ear mufflers. Wear a helmet
if there is risk of falling objects or projections
from trees.
2 Always hold the chainsaw firmly with both
hands when the engine is running. Always
maintain a firm foothold. Ensure you are able
to stop the engine quickly if necessary. Do
not work up a tree unless you have received
suitable training and have the appropriate
equipment (belts, ropes, safety hooks etc)
for this type of work. We strongly recommend
that all first-time chainsaw users obtain
practical instruction on safe chainsaw usage
before operating the chainsaw. Do not operate
this machine when tired or under the influence
of any substances, drugs or alcohol which
can impair vision, dexterity or judgement.
Prolonged use of chainsaws or other machines
exposing the operator to vibration may
produce Whitefinger’s Disease (Raynaud’s
Phenomenon). This may reduce the hands’
ability to feel and regulate temperature and
may produce general numbness. Continual
or regular users should therefore monitor
closely the condition of their hands or fingers.
If any of the symptoms appear, seek
immediate medical advice.
3 Never carry the chainsaw with the engine
running. Whenever carrying a chainsaw, even
for short distances, the chain should be
covered by the chain guard (scabbard) and
the bar should point backwards. When
transporting the chainsaw in a vehicle, secure
the saw to prevent fuel spillage.
4 To avoid kick-back, do not attempt to cut with
the nose of the bar. Ensure the engine is
running at full throttle before commencing to
cut. To avoid kick-back, do not let the nose of
the bar come into contact with logs, branches,
the ground or any other obstruction. Do not
allow any part of the chain to come into
contact with rock, nails or wire fence. Ensure
the chain is kept sharp and correctly
