3.SAFE OPERATION

■

Before operating the product

1. Before using our products, please read this manual carefully to understand

the correct use of your unit.

2. Never operate a chain saw when you are fatigued, ill or upset, or under the

influence of medications that may cause drowsiness or if you are under the

influence of alcohol or drugs.

3. Use the chain saw only in well-ventilated areas. Never start or run the engine

inside a closed room or building. Exhaust gases contain dangerous carbon

monoxide. Lubricating oil mist and saw dust are poisonous to the operator.

4. Never mow in strong wind, bad weather, when visibility is poor or in very high

or low temperatures. Always check the tree and dead branches that could fall

during the felling operation.

5. Wear safety and non-slip shoes, tight-fitting clothing, and eye, hearing, and

head protection. Use the anti-vibration (AV) glove.

It is believed that a condition called Raynaud's phenomenon, which affects the

fingers of certain individuals, may be caused by exposure to vibration and cold.

Loss of color and numbness in the fingers. The following precautions are

recommended, since the minimum exposure that could cause illness is

unknown:

Keep your body warm, especially your head, neck, feet, ankles, hands and

wrists. Maintain good blood circulation by doing vigorous arm exercises during

frequent work breaks and also by not smoking. Keep the saw chain sharp and

the saw, including the AV system, well maintained. A dull chain will increase

cutting time, and pressing a loose chain through the wood will increase the

vibrations transmitted to your hands. A saw with loose components or damaged

or worn shock absorbers will also tend to have higher vibration levels. Limit

hours of operation.

Continuous and regular users should closely monitor the condition of their

fingers and hands while working.

If any of the symptoms described appear, consult a doctor immediately.

■ Working with the machine

1. Always use caution when handling fuel. Wipe up all spills and then move the

chain saw at least ten (10) feet (three (3) m) from the fueling point before

starting the engine.

2. Eliminate all sources of sparks or flames (for example, smoking, open flames,

or work that may cause sparks) in areas where fuel is mixed, poured, or stored.

Do not smoke while handling fuel or while operating the chain saw.

3. Do not allow other people to be near the chainsaw when starting the engine

or cutting wood. Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area. Children,

pets and bystanders should be a minimum of 30 feet (10m) away when starting

or operating the chain saw.

4. Never start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and a

planned retreat path from the falling tree.

5. Always hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands when the engine is running.

Use a firm grip with your thumb and fingers surrounding the chainsaw handles.

6. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the engine is

running. Before starting the engine, make sure the saw chain is not in contact

with anything.

7. Always carry the chainsaw with the engine stopped, the guide bar and saw

chain rearward, and the muffler away from your body.

8. Always inspect the chainsaw before each use for worn, loose or changed

parts. Never operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or not

completely and securely assembled. Make sure the saw chain stops moving

when the throttle control trigger is released.

9. All chain saw services, other than those listed in the Operator's Manual, must

be performed by the manufacturer's or importer's service center (for example, if

inappropriate tools are used to remove the flywheel or if a tool is used

Inadequate to hold the flywheel to remove the clutch, structural damage to the

flywheel could occur which could result in disintegration of the flywheel).

10. Always turn off the engine before adjusting or making any changes.

11. Be very careful when cutting small stump and saplings because the thin

material can catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or removed.

12. When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for the back of the tension

so that you are not struck when the tension in the wood fibers is released.

13. Keep handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel mixture.

14. Protect against rebounds. Kickback is the upward movement of the guide

bar that occurs when the saw chain in the nose of the guide bar contacts an

object. Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of control of the chain saw.

15. When transporting and storing the chain saw, make sure the bar protection

sheath is in place. Securely position the machine during transportation to

prevent fuel loss, damage, or injury.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR CHAINSAW USERS

Kickback can occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar

touches an object, or when the wood comes close and

pinches the chain in the cut.

Tip contact in some cases can cause a rapid reverse

action, flipping the bar toward the operator. Cutting the

chainsaw along the top of the guide bar can drive the guide bar quickly toward

the operator.

Any of these reactions can cause loss of control of the saw which could result in

serious injury.

Do not rely solely on the safety devices built into your saw. As a chainsaw

user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free of

accidents or injuries. Control your safety at all times.

(1)

With a basic understanding of kickbacks, you can reduce or

eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to

accidents.

(2)

Maintain a good grip on the saw with both hands, right hand on

the rear handle and left hand on the front handle, when the engine

is running. Use a firm grip with your thumbs and fingers

surrounding the chainsaw handles. A firm grip will help reduce

kickback and maintain control of the saw. Don't let her go.

(3)

Make sure the area you cut is free of obstructions. Do not allow

the nose of the guide bar to touch a log, branch or any other

obstruction that may be struck while operating the saw.

(4)

Cutting at high engine speeds.

(5)

Do not extend or cut above shoulder height.

(6)

Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance

instructions for the saw chain.

(7)

Use only replacement bars and chains specified by the

manufacturer or its equivalent.

4.INSTALLATION OF THE CHAIN AND CUTTING BAR

The saw chain has very sharp edges. Please use protective gloves for your

safety. Make sure the engine is stopped and turned off before adjusting the bar

and saw chain.

The chainsaw box must contain the elements shown below:

1. Machine

2. Chain

3. Sword

4. Sword sheath

5. Spark plug wrench

6. Sharpening file

Open the box and install the guide bar and saw chain on the machine as shown.

• Move the guard toward the front handle to verify that the chain brake is

not activated.

• Loosen the nut and remove the clutch cover.

• Secure the spiked bumper with two screws to the front of the chainsaw.

IMPORTANT

The spiked bumper belongs to the chainsaw. It must be screwed onto the

chainsaw before initial use.

1. Nut

2. Clutch cover

3. Spiked Bumpers

4. Tapping screw

• Remove the spacer from the chainsaw.

1. Spacer

• Place the guide bar into the power unit and then push the guide bar

toward the clutch (Figure 3).

2. Sword

• Gear the chain to the sprocket and, while placing the saw chain around

the guide bar.

NOTE

Pay attention to the correct direction of the chainsaw.

• Adjust the position of the chain tensioner nail, and then insert the

tensioner nail into the bottom hole of the guide bar. Mount the clutch

cover to the power unit and tighten the mounting nut finger tight. While

holding the nose of the bar, adjust the chain tension by turning the

tensioning screw until the retaining straps touch the underside of the bar

rail.

3. Tension nail

4. Tension screw

• Tighten the nut firmly with the bar tip raised (12 ~ 15 Nm). Next, check

that the chain rotates smoothly and has proper tension as you move it by

hand. If necessary, readjust with the chain cover loose.

Turn the tensioner

screw clockwise to

tighten the chain,

turn the tensioner

screw

counterclockwise to

loosen the chain.

• Check the tension of the saw chain. Use your

hand to lift the chain link that is positioned in the

middle of the cutting length upward with a force

of approximately 10N. If the chain link comes off

the guide bar rail completely, you must retighten

the chain.

IMPORTANT

It is very important to maintain proper chain tension. Rapid guide bar

wear or chain that comes off easily may be caused by improper tension.

Especially when using a new chain, take good care of it as it should

expand when used for the first time.

5. FUEL AND OIL IN THE MACHINE

■

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

The carburetor on your unit has been adjusted at the factory but may require

fine adjustment due to change in operating conditions. If the carburetor needs to

be adjusted, contact your dealer or manufacturer's or importer's maintenance

service center. Do not adjust it by yourself. Before adjusting the carburetor,

make sure they are supplied with fresh, clean air/fuel.

When adjusting, take the following guidelines:

IMPORTANT

Be sure to adjust the carburetor with the bar chain attached.

• The H and L needles are adjusted by authorized persons. They are restricted

within the number of turns as shown below.

Needle H –1/4

Needle L –1/4

• Start the engine and let it warm up at low speed

for a few minutes.

• Turn the idle adjustment screw (T)

counterclockwise ○ b so that the saw chain does

not rotate. If the idle speed is too slow, turn the

screw to the right (clockwise).

• Make a test cut to adjust the H needle for best

cutting power, not maximum speed.

(1) Idle adjustment screw (T)

To release the brake, pull up on the front

handle guard toward the rear handle until

you hear a "click" sound.

ATTENTION

When the brake comes on, release the throttle trigger to reduce engine

speed. Continued operation with the brake on will generate clutch heat

and can cause problems.

Be sure to check brake operation at daily inspection.

How to check the chain brake:

Turn off the motor.

Hold the chainsaw horizontally, release your hand from the front handle,

knock the tip of the guide bar onto a stump or piece of wood, and confirm the

brake operation. The level of operation varies depending on the size of the

bar. If the brake is not effective, consult our dealer.

■

STOP THE ENGINE

1. Release the throttle trigger to allow the engine to idle

for a few minutes.

2. Place the switch in the "O" (STOP) position.

(1) Engine switch

ATTENTION

Before continuing your work, read the "For safe

operation" section.

It is recommended that you first practice sawing easy

logs. This also helps you get used to your unit.

Always follow all safety regulations that may restrict the

use of the machine.

• Always follow safety regulations.

• The chainsaw should only be used to cut wood.

• Cutting other types of material is prohibited. Vibrations and kickbacks

vary with different materials and the requirements of safety standards

would not be respected.

• Do not use the chain saw as a lever to lift, move or split objects.

• Do not lock it on fixed supports.

• It is prohibited to attach tools or applications to the power take-off. 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 speed.

• Daily inspection is recommended before use and after drops or other

impacts to identify major damage or defects.

• Revving the engine with the chain seized in a cut can damage the clutch

system.

• When the saw chain gets caught in the cut, do not try to pull it hard, use a

wedge or pry to open the cut.

■

Kickback protector

This saw is also equipped with a chain brake that will

stop the chain in the event of kickback if it is working

properly. You should check the operation of the chain

brake before each use by running the saw at full

speed for 1 or 2seconds and pushing the front hand

guard forward. The chain must stop immediately with

the engine at full speed. If the chain stops slowly or

does not stop, contact the manufacturer's or

importer's maintenance center to 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 sharpened to maintain

the kickback safety level of this saw. Removal of safety devices, improper

maintenance, or incorrect bar or chain replacement can increase the risk of

serious personal injury due to kickback.

■ Choping down a tree

1. Decide the direction of felling considering wind,

tree density, location of heavy branches, ease of

work after felling and other factors.

2. While clearing the area around the tree, provide a

good foothold and retreat path.

3. Make a notch cut one-third of the way down the

tree on the felling side.

4. Make a felling cut from the opposite side of the

notch and at a level slightly higher than the bottom of

the notch.

ATTENTION

When cutting down a tree, be sure to warn

neighboring workers of the danger.

(B) Notch cuts

■

FELLING AND CLEANING

ATTENTION

1. Always ensure your support point and the stability of the tree.

2. Be alert for a felled log toppling over.

3. Read the instructions to avoid chainsaw kickback.

Before starting work, check the direction of the bending force inside the

log to be cut. Always finish cutting from the opposite side of the bending

direction to prevent the guide bar from getting caught in the cut.

Cut a log on the ground.

Cut halfway, then turn the log and cut on the

opposite side.

Cut a log horizontally.

In area A in the image above, cut a third

from the bottom and finish by cutting down

from the top. In area B, cut downward from

the top third and finish cutting from the

bottom.

Clean a felled tree.

First check which direction the limb is bent.

Then make a shallow cut on the compressed

side to prevent the limb from breaking. Cut

from the tight side.

ATTENTION

Be alert for the springy back of a cut

branch.

Pruning

Cut from the bottom, finish down from the top.
