When transporting your chain saw by hand, the
engine must be shut off, the chain brake must be
engaged, and the saw chain and guide bar must be
covered with the chain guard (scabbard) and in the
proper position (for example, grip the top handle,
place the muffler away from your body, and the saw
chain to the rear). Avoid touching hot parts of the
machine, especially the muffler and gear housing,
otherwise you could suffer serious burns.
•
When transporting your chain saw in a vehicle, the
saw chain and guide bar should be covered with the
chain guard (scabbard) and properly secured to avoid
turnover, fuel spillage and damage to your machine.
Handle fuel with caution
You chain saw use a gasoline-oil mixture for fuel.
WARNING
Gasoline is an extremely flammable fuel.
Pay high
attention when mixing, storing or handling, otherwise
serious personal injury may result.
If spilled and ignited by a spark or
other ignition source, gasoline can
cause fire and serious burn injury or
property damage.
Do not smoke or bring any fire or
flame while handling fuel or while
operating the chain saw. Note that
combustible fuel vapor may escape
from the fuel system.
•
Mix and pour fuel in a well ventilated outdoor area on
bare ground; store fuel in a cool, dry well ventilated
place; and use an approved, marked container for all
fuel purposes. Wipe up all fuel spills before starting
the chain saw.
•
Eliminate all sources of sparks or flame(i.e. smoking,
open flames, or work that can cause sparks) in the
areas where fuel is mixed, poured, or stored. Always
shut off the engine and allow it to cool down before
refueling.
•
Always use with caution when handling fuel. Wipe up
all spills and then move the chain saw at least 10feet
(3 meters) from the fueling point before starling the
engine.
•
To reduce the risk of fire and explosion, fuel your
machine only in a well-ventilated area, outdoors away
from flames, pilot lights, heaters, electric motors, and
other sources of ignition
•
Always shut off the engine before refueling, let the
machine cool down in a non-combustible area, not on
dry leaves, straw, paper, etc. Do not fuel a hot engine
because fuel may spill out and cause a fire.
•
Loose a bit of the fuel cap carefully so as to allow any
pressure build-up in the fuel tank to release slowly
and avoid fuel spillage.. Never remove the fuel cap
when engine is running!
•
If you spill fuel, wipe the machine immediately. If fuel
spills on your clothing, change it immediately.
•
Tight the fuel cap securely to the proper position,
make sure it does not loosen or come off due to the
machine vibrations.
•
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal burn injuries,
check for fuel leakage. If fuel leakage is found, do not
start or run the engine until leak is fixed.
•
Do not inhale fuel fumes as they are toxic.
•
Store the machine and fuel in an area where fuel
vapors cannot reach sparks or open flames from
water heaters, electric motors or switches, furnaces,
etc.
Before starting the engine
A area within a minimum radius of 50feet (15m) from
the using the machine should be considered as a
hazardous area, into which on one should enter. If
necessary, yellow warning rope and warning signs
should be placed around the perimeter of the area.
When work is to be performed simultaneously by two or
more persons, special care should also be taken to
constantly look around or otherwise check for the
presence and locations of other people working, so as
to maintain sufficient safety distance between each
person.
Before starting the engine, take off the chain guard
(scabbard), and check that your machine is properly
assembled and in good condition
•
Check cutting equipment is correctly fitted and
adjusted.
•
Check the fuel system for leaks, paying high attention
to visible parts such as the fuel tank cap, hose
connections and the manual fuel pump (if equipped).
If there are any leaks or damage, do not start the
engine because of potential risk of fire. Have your
machine repaired by an authorized dealer or service
center before using it again.
•
The engine stop switch must move easily in direction
of STOP position and spring back to the normal
START position.
•
Smooth action of throttle trigger lockout and throttle
trigger - The throttle trigger must return automatically
to the idle position by itself.
•
Check that the spark plug boot is secure – a loose
boot may cause arcing that could ignite combustible
fumes and cause a fire.
•
Saw chain securely mounted and in good condition
(clean, move freely, not warped, properly sharpened).
•
Never attempt to modify the controls or safety devices
in any way.
