OPERATION
CHAIN BRAKE (Fig. 3)
Chain brakes are designed to quickly stop the chain from
rotating. When the chain brake lever/hand guard is pushed
towards the bar, the chain should stop immediately.
A chain brake does not prevent kick-back. The chain brake
should be cleaned and tested daily. Refer to "Operation"
later in this manual for additional information.
(A) RUN POSITION
(B) BRAKE POSITION
WARNING
Even with daily cleaning of the mechanism,
the dependability of a chain brake to perform
under field conditions cannot be certified.
WARNING
KICK-BACK occurs when the moving chain
contacts an object at the upper portion of the
tip of the guide bar or when the wood closes in
and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Contact
at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar
may cause the chain to dig into the object and
stop the chain for an instant. The result is a
lightningfast, reverse reaction which kicks the
guide bar up and back towards the operator.
If the saw chain is pinched along the top of the
guide bar, the guide bar can be driven rapidly
back towards the operator. Either of these
reactions may cause you to lose control of the
saw, which could result in serious injury.
Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into
your saw. As a chainsaw user, you should take several
steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
KICK-BACK PRECAUTIONS (Fig. 4 & 5)
Rotational kick-back (A) occurs when the moving chain
contacts an object at the Kick-back Danger Zone (B)
of the guide bar. The result is a lightning-fast, reverse
reaction which kicks the guide bar up and back towards
the operator. This reaction can cause loss of control
which may result in serious injury.
FUEL AND REFUELLING
HANDLING THE FUEL SAFELY
WARNING
Always turn off engine before refuelling.
Never add fuel to a machine with a running or
hot engine. Move at least 15 m (50 ft.) from
refuelling site before starting the engine.
DO NOT SMOKE! Failure to heed this warning
can result in possible personal injury.

English
Always handle fuel with care. It is highly flammable.
■
Always refuel outdoors where there are no sparks
■
and flames. Do not inhale fuel vapour.
Do not let petrol or Lubricant come in contact with your skin.
■
Keep petrol and Lubricant away from the eyes. If
■
petrol or Lubricant comes in contact with the eyes,
wash them immediately with clean water. If irritation is
still present, see a doctor immediately.
Clean up spilled fuel immediately.
■
MIXING THE FUEL
This product is powered by a 2-stroke engine and
■
requires pre-mixing petrol and 2-stroke Lubricant. Pre-
mix unleaded petrol and 2-stroke engine Lubricant in
a clean container approved for petrol.
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded petrol
■
intended for motor vehicle use with an octane rating
of 87 ([R + M] / 2) or higher.
Do not use any type of pre-mixed petrol/Lubricant
■
from fuel service stations. This includes the pre-
mixed petrol/Lubricant intended for use in mopeds,
motorcycles etc.
Use synthetic 2-stroke Lubricant only.
■
Mix 2% Lubricant into the petrol. This is a 50:1 ratio.
■
Mix the fuel thoroughly and also each time before
■
refuelling.
Mix in small quantities. Do not mix quantities larger
■
than usable in a 30 day period. A synthetic 2-stroke
Lubricant containing a fuel stabiliser is recommended.
FILLING THE TANK (Fig. 6)
Refer to "Specific Safety Rules - Refuelling" earlier in this
manual for additional safety information.
1. Clean surface round fuel cap to prevent contamination.
2. Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to
keep fuel from escaping around the cap.
3. Carefully pour fuel mixture into the tank. Avoid spillage.
4. Prior to replacing the fuel cap, clean and inspect
the gasket.
5. Immediately replace fuel cap and hand tighten.
Wipe up any fuel spillage. Move 9 m (30 ft) away
from refuelling site before starting engine.
NOTE: It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a
new engine during and after first use.
