How to use

Before starting, refuel the saw with the correct petrol–oil mixture if the engine is two-stroke, or follow the manufacturer's fuel instructions. Check chain tension and bar lubrication, and ensure the chain brake and safety features are operational. Start the engine according to the user manual, allow it to warm up, then make cuts using steady, controlled motions. Maintain a firm two-handed grip and position your body clear of the cutting path. Stop the engine before performing adjustments, refuelling or transport.

Recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as chainsaw chaps, gloves, eye and hearing protection. Keep the chain sharp and properly tensioned, use bar oil for lubrication, and perform regular maintenance on the engine and air filter to ensure reliable operation and extend tool life.
