• 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 unit.
• Always follow the safety regulations. The
chain saw 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 applications 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.
• 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 way.
■ GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK (F20)
• This saw is 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 the throttle for I -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 not
stop, replace the brake band and clutch drum
before use.
• It is extremely important that the chain brake be
checked for proper operation before each use
and that the chain be sharp in order to maintain
the kickback safety level of this saw. Removal of
the safety devices, inadequate maintenance, or
incorrect replacement of the bar or chain may
increase the risk ot serious personal injury due
to kickback.
