PREPARATION

Always wear solid footwear and long pants when working with the equipment, do not operate the device with bare feet or in
sandals.

Check carefully the area where you will be working and remove all stones, branches, wires and other foreign objects
protruding from the ground that you might trip over during your work.

In high grass, you may not notice obstacles (e.g. stumps, roots), so before starting work with the device, mark all obstacles
hidden in the grass that cannot be removed.

Before use and after falling or other impacts, inspect the saw to identify any significant damage that may affect safety.
REMEMBER! Do not leave the chain saw uncontrolled. Never leave the chain saw turned on, as unintentional use may result, which
may result in accidents.
USEAGE

Work only in daylight or in good artificial light.

Do not work during rain, especially during a storm and in high humidity.

Do not work in strong winds or other weather conditions that will cause the device to use a dangerous situation.

It is important to have correct posture during work. In order not to bother excessively, frequent change of work position is
recommended.

Stop work every 15 minutes - rest is necessary. Tiredness and distraction can contribute to an accident.

Keep your feet steady and keep balance during work.

When working on a slope, make sure your legs are standing firmly.

Do not work too long because of the possibility of tingling or numbness in the fingers and hands. If such symptoms occur,
stop working.

Attention! The device causes vibrations of the limbs during operation. The value of vibration acceleration is provided in the
table with rated data. Prolonged exposure of hands to vibration for several months or years, can cause the white toe
disease, i.e. a decrease in limb temperature caused by ischemia. Symptoms such as tingling, numbness, hypersensitivity to
cold should not be underestimated, see a doctor.

Do not use the device with damaged covers or housings or without any protection.

Start the saw engine as per the instructions.

Check the chain saw brake for proper operation from time to time, as a malfunctioning brake may not disconnect the cutting
chain movement in an emergency.

Refuel after switching off the engine and after it has cooled down, as there is a risk of spillage and ignition from hot parts of
the chain saw.

Do not touch the chain saw with exposed body parts to avoid any possible burns.

When working, hold the chain saw with both hands on the handles provided.

Always adjust before cutting the chain brake lever by pulling it toward you. During operation, the safety brake is also a hand
guard.

Move the chain saw away from the material to be cut only when the saw chain is running.

When cutting processed sawn timber or thin limbs, use a special support (goat). It is not allowed to cut several boards at
the same time (stacked on top of each other) or materials held by a leg or held by another person.

When cutting through, always use the buttress as a fulcrum. Holding the chainsaw by the main handle, guide it with the
auxiliary handle.

If it is not possible to cut the material at once, pull the saw back slightly, move the buttress and continue cutting by slightly
raising the main handle of the saw.

When cutting horizontally, position yourself so as to keep as vertical a position as possible.
