Turn off the unit immediately if anything goes wrong.
In the following situations, turn off the unit immediately and ensure that the
cutting device has stopped before checking each area of the product.
Replace any damaged parts.
• If the cutting device hits a rock, tree, post, or other such obstruction while
you work.
• If the product suddenly starts to vibrate abnormally. Continuing to use
parts when they are damaged could lead to an accident or serious injury.
A ten meter radius is a danger zone.
The area within a 10 m (33 ft.) radius of the product is a danger zone. Be
careful to observe the following precautions while working with the
product.
• If another person enters the danger zone, turn off the unit.
• Do not allow anyone to hold the material you are cutting. Any contact with
the saw chain could cause serious injury.
Using the product.
When using the product, pay special attention to observe the following
precautions.
• Do not operate a chainsaw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or not
completely and securely assembled.
• Do not cut solid metal, sheet metal, plastics or any non-wood materials.
• Cutting while on a ladder is extremely dangerous because the ladder can
slip and your control of the chainsaw is limited.
• Stay on the uphill side when bucking or limbing logs which might roll when
cut.
• Use extreme caution when cutting small-size brush and saplings because
slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or
pull you off balance.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring-back so that
you will not be struck by the limb or chainsaw when the tension in the
wood fibers is released.
Failure to observe these instructions will cause the product to be held
unsteadily and could result in serious injury.
