produce general numbness. Continual or regular users should therefore monitor closely the condition of their hands or fingers. If any of the symptoms appear, seek immediate medical advice.

3Never carry the chainsaw with the engine running. Whenever carrying a chainsaw, even for short distances, the chain should be covered by the chain guard (scabbard) and the bar should point backwards.

When transporting the chainsaw in a vehicle, secure the saw to prevent fuel spillage.

4To avoid kick-back, do not attempt to cut with the nose of the bar. Ensure the engine is running at full throttle before commencing to cut. To avoid kick-back, do not let the nose of the bar come into contact with logs, branches, the ground or any other obstruction. Do not allow any part of the chain to come into contact with rock, nails or wire fence

Ensure the chain is kept sharp and correctly tensioned. Keep the spike or the saw body against the wood when cutting. Use only genuine accessories and spare parts. We recommend you have your unit periodically checked and serviced by an authorised dealer.

Do not use chainsaw above shoulder height.

5Do not operate the chainsaw near a naked flame or spilled fuel. Only operate the chainsaw outside and in well ventila- ted areas.

After re-fuelling, always wipe off any spilled fuel. Move the chainsaw away from the fuelling point before starting the engine.

6Keep by-standers and animals out of the work area; at a minimum distance of 10 m or twice the timber length. If necessary, use warning signs to keep on-lookers at a distance.

Carefully survey the working site to note any hazards, eg. roads, paths, electricity cables, dangerous trees etc. Do not use the chainsaw if the device for stopping the chain (safety chainbrake) does not work correctly. Never place hands on the chain whilst the engine is running. Ensure someone is within hearing distance in case of an accident. If this is not possible, it is recommended that users operating chain- saws in remote areas carry an adequate first-aid kit with them and ensure someone knows their location. Never leave the engine running while the tool is unattended.

ONLY USE ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS AND ACCESSO- RIES.

FUEL MIX D

Use only fuel recommended by this manual. This product is fitted with a 2-stroke engine and therefore requires a 2-stroke petrol and oil mix. Use leaded (4 Star) or unleaded petrol with a minimum octane rating of 90.

UNLEADED PETROL: if using unleaded petrol, you must use

atotally synthetic 2-stroke engine oil or branded 2-stroke engine oil (see table).

Only use oil from sealed containers. In order to obtain a good fuel mix, put the oil into the container before the petrol.

IMPORTANT

Always shake this fuel mix vigorously each time you use it. We recommend to carry out this operation each time you use the fuel.

Fuel mix properties deteriorate with time, we therefore recom- mend that you only make the quantity of fuel mix you will need for each usage. Do not use fuel mix more than a week old as this could damage the engine.

WARNING

Do not smoke when re-fuelling. Always open the fuel cap slowly.

Re-fuel in open spaces only, keeping away from naked fla- mes or sparks.

Always store fuel in an approved container.

SAFE STORAGE OF FUEL

Petrol is highly inflammable. Put out all cigarettes, pipes and cigars before working with petrol. Avoid spilling petrol. Store fuel in a cool, well ventilated place, in an approved container specifically designed for the purpose.
