Detailed safety instructions for chainsaws.
-
Do not attempt to cut metal.
-
Do not use detergents or alcohol to clean the saw. Wipe with a soft dry cloth.
-
Do not use accessories not specifically intended for this device and recommended by the manufacturer. The fact that some accessories can be mounted to a power tool is not a guarantee of safe use.
-
The accessory mounting system must correspond to the dimensions of the power tool. Tools of improper dimensions cannot be sufficiently shielded or controlled.
-
Use personal protective equipment. Depending on the type of work, wear a protective mask covering the whole face, eye protection, e.g. safety goggles. Eyes should be protected from airborne foreign matter ejected during operation. Protect the respiratory tract against dust and vapours with dust masks. The effects of prolonged exposure to noise can lead to hearing loss.
-
Be careful that bystanders are kept at a safe distance from the working range of the chain saw. Anyone who is close to the operating power tool must use personal protective equipment. Chips of the material being cut or cracked work tools can chip and cause injuries even outside the immediate reach zone.
-
Never move the power tool when it is in motion. Accidental contact of clothing with a working tool may cut it and come into contact with the operator’s body.

SAWING – GENERAL TIPS
Take a 15 minute break after each 15 minutes of work.
Read the safety rules before starting work and cutting. There is a risk of
kickback – the saw can kick back towards you. Danger of serious or fatal
accident.
Start cutting when the saw has reached its full speed.
Do not cut through the area around the top quarter of the guide tip.
Do not apply excessive pressure when cutting. Apply gentle pressure when the
saw is running at its maximum speed.
If the guide bar is stuck in the material, do not pull it out by force, use a
wedge or lever.
Always ensure that your feet are well supported. Do not stand on logs of
trees. Note that the log being cut may twist.
Be careful of the springing of the branch being cut.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE! Make sure that the device is switched off and disconnected from the
power source before starting cleaning or maintenance.
After finishing work, the device should be cleaned of debris and dust.
Clean the housing of dust using a delicate brush, paint brush or cloth.
Cleaning with a damp cloth is allowed, but only if the device is dried
immediately. Protect metal parts with oil.
Clean the ventilation slots regularly. Use compressed air or a vacuum cleaner.
After every 5 hours of operation, check the condition of the guide bar and
chain. Remove sawdust from the guide bar groove and the oil hole. Lubricate
the chain guide sprocket through the guide lubrication hole (6).
Take care that the chain is always sharp. If a blunt chain is used, the guide
and other structural components of the device will wear more quickly. In the
extreme situation, the chain may break. It is recommended to have the chain
sharpened by trained professionals.
In case of prolonged storage keep the device in a well-ventilated room, free
of moisture and protected from dust. Make sure to put the guard on the cutting
