How to use

Before starting, mix fuel and oil in the correct ratio specified by the engine manufacturer and fill the fuel tank. Perform a visual check of the chain tension, guide bar condition and chain lubrication. Start the engine following cold or warm start procedures in the user manual, maintaining a firm two‑handed grip. Use controlled, steady cutting motions—let the saw’s weight and engine power work through the wood rather than forcing the chain. After finishing, allow the engine to idle, then switch off and let the unit cool before refuelling or performing maintenance.

Usage recommendations

For safe and efficient operation, use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including chainsaw chaps, eye and hearing protection, gloves and steel‑toe boots. Keep the chain sharp and the sprocket and bar properly lubricated. Follow service intervals for spark plug, air filter and fuel system checks to maintain starting reliability and consistent power output.
