How to use
Before starting, check fuel and oil levels and tighten the chain to the manufacturer’s recommended tension. Hold the saw with both hands, maintain a firm stance, and position the guide bar on the intended cut line. Start the engine following standard cold-start and choke procedures for petrol two-stroke engines. Use smooth, controlled cuts and avoid forcing the chain; allow the saw’s power to guide the cut. After cutting, let the engine idle briefly before switching off and inspect the chain and bar for wear, sharpening or tension adjustment as needed.
Usage recommendations
Use personal protective equipment such as chainsaw chaps, eye and ear protection, gloves and sturdy footwear. Operate the saw on stable ground, keep bystanders at a safe distance, and follow local regulations for noise and emissions. Regularly maintain the chain, guide bar and air filter to ensure reliable performance and safe operation.
