WARNING
• This chainsaw has been especially designed for tree
maintenance and should therefore only be used by
trained operators when working up in the trees.
• Under no circumstances may the design of the ma-
chine be modified without the permission of the manu-
facturer. Always use genuine accessories. Non-autho-
rized modifications and/or accessories can result in
serious personal injury or the death of the operator or
others.
•A chain saw is a dangerous tool if used carelessly or
incorrectly and can cause serious, even fatal injuries.
It is very important that you read and understand the
contents of this operator’s manual.
■ BASIC SAFETY RULES
1. Never operate a chain saw when you
are fatigued, ill, or upset, or under the
influence of medication that may
make you drowsy, or if you are under
the influence of alcohol or drugs.
2. Use safety footwear, snug fitting
clothing and eye, hearing and head
protection devices.
Use vibration reducing gloves.
Most chain saw accidents happen
when the chain touches the opera-
tor.
Personal protective equipment can-
not eliminate the risk of injury but it
will reduce the degree of injury.
3. Do not allow other person to be near
the chain saw when starting or cut-
ting. Keep bystanders and animals
out of the work area. Children, pets
and bystanders should be a minimum
of 33 ft (10 m) away when you start
or operate the chain saw.
4. Never start cutting until you have a
clear work area, secure footing, and
a planned retreat path from the fall-
ing tree.
5. Always hold the chain saw firmly with
both hands when the chain saw is
running. Use a firm grip with thumb
and fingers encircling the chain saw
handles.
6. Keep all parts of your body away from
the saw chain when the engine is run-
ning.

(10m)
7. All chain saw service, other than the
items listed in the Owner’s Manual,
should be performed by competent
chain saw service personnel. (E.g.,
if improper tools are used to remove
the flywheel, or if an improper tool is
used to hold the flywheel in order to
remove the clutch, structural damage
to the flywheel could occur which
could subsequently cause the fly-
wheel to disintegrate.)
8. Always shut off the engine before
setting it down.
9. Never cut in high wind, bad weather,
when visibility is poor or in very high
or low temperatures.
10. Operate the chain saw only in well
ventilated areas. Never start or run
the engine inside a closed room or
building and potentially explosive at-
mosphere. Exhaust fumes contain
dangerous carbon monoxide.
11. Never touch the cover, guide bar, saw
chain or nut with bare hands while
the engine is in operation or immedi-
ately after shutting down the engine.
Doing so could result in serious burns
because of high temperature.
