operation, keep the equipment on your right side rmly.

- All protective installations and guards supplied with the machine must be

used during operation.

- Never operate the engine with faulty exhaust mufﬂer.

- Except in case of emergency, never drop or cast the equipment to the ground

or this may severely damage the equipment.

Refuelling

- Shut off the engine during refuelling, keep away from open ﬂames and do not

smoke.

- Avoid skin contact with mineral oil products. Do not inhale fuel vapor. Always

wear protective gloves during refuelling. Change and clean protective clothing

at regular intervals.

- Take care not to spill either fuel or oil in order to prevent soil contamination

(environmental protection). Clean the equipment immediately after fuel has

been spilt.

- Avoid any fuel contact with your clothing. Change your clothing instantly if

fuel has been spilt on it (to prevent clothing catching re).

- Inspect the fuel cap at regular intervals making sure that it can be securely

fastened and does not leak.

- Carefully tighten the fuel tank cap. Change location to start the engine (at

least 3 meters away from the place of refuelling).

- Never refuel in closed rooms. Fuel vapors accumulate at ground level (risk of

explosions).

- Only transport and store fuel in approved containers. Make sure the fuel

stored is not accessible to children.

Method of operation

- In the event of an emergency, switch off the engine immediately.

- If you feel any unusual condition (e.g. noise, vibration) during operation,

switch off the engine. Do not use the equipment until the cause is recognized

and solved.

- The saw chain continues to move for a short period after releasing the throttle

trigger. Don’t rush to contact the saw chain.

- Hold the front grip with the left hand and the rear grip with the right hand, no

matter you are right-hander or left-hander. Wrap your ngers and thumbs

around the grips.

- Never attempt to operate the equipment with one hand. Loss of control may

result in serious or fatal injury. To reduce the risk of injury, keep your hands

and feet away from the blades.

- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

- Watch for hidden obstacles such as tree stumps, roots and ditches to avoid

stumbling. Clear fallen branches and other objects away.

- If the equipment gets heavy impact or fall, check the condition before

continuing work. Check the fuel system for fuel leakage and the controls and

safety devices for malfunction. If there is any damage or doubt, ask Dolmar

authorized service center for the inspection and repair.

- Do not touch the gear case. The gear case becomes hot during operation.

- When you leave the equipment, even if it is a short time, always stop the

engine. The equipment unattended with the engine running may be used by

unauthorized person and cause serious accident.

- Pay attention to the environment. Avoid unnecessary throttle operation for

less pollution and noise emissions. Adjust the carburetor correctly.

- During or after operation, do not put the hot equipment onto dry grass or

combustible materials.

- Do not hold your right hand above shoulder height.

- During operation, never hit the saw chain against hard obstacles such stones

and nails. Take particular care when cutting branches next to walls, wire

fences or the like.

- If branches get caught in the saw chain, always stop the engine and remove

the spark plug cap. Otherwise unintentional start may cause serious injury.

- If the saw chain becomes clogged, always stop the engine and remove the

spark plug cap before cleaning.

- Accelerating the engine with the saw chain blocked increases the load and

will damage the engine and/or clutch.

- Before cutting limbs, keep an escape area away from the falling limb. First,

clear obstructs such as limbs and branches from the work area. Move all

tools and goods from the escape area to another safe place.

- Before cutting branches and limbs, check the falling direction of them,

considering the condition of branches and limbs, adjoining trees, wind

direction, etc. Pay full attention to the falling direction, and the rebound of the

branch, which hit the ground.

- Never hold the pole saw at an angle of more than 60°. Otherwise falling

objects can hit the operator and cause serious injury. Never stand underneath

the limb being cut.

- Pay attention to broken or bent branches. They may bounce back in cutting,

causing unexpected injury.

- Before cutting limbs that you intend to cut, remove branches and leaves

around them. Otherwise the saw may be caught by them.

- To prevent the saw from being caught in the kerf, do not release the throttle

lever before pulling the saw out of the kerf.

- If the saw chain is bound in the kerf, immediately stop the engine, carefully

move the branch to open the kerf and release the saw.

- Avoid kickback (rotational reactive force towards the operator). To prevent

kickback, never use the guide bar nose or perform a penetrating cut. Always

beware of the position of the guide bar nose.

- Check the chain tension frequently. When checking or adjusting the chain

tension, stop the engine and remove the spark plug cap. If the tension is

loose, tighten it.

- Operate the equipment with as little noise and contamination as possible. In

particular check the correct setting of the carburetor.

- Never stand on a ladder and run the equipment.

- Never climb up into trees to perform cutting operation.

- Wait until the chain reaches its full working speed before cutting.

- Take a rest to prevent loss of control caused by fatigue. We recommend to

take a 10 to 20-minute rest every hour.

Transport

- Before transporting the equipment, switch off the engine and remove the

spark plug cap.

- Always t the guide bar cover during transportation.

- Always use the tool protection included with the equipment.

- Carry it in a horizontal position by holding the shaft. Keep the hot mufﬂer

away from your body.

- When transporting the equipment in a vehicle, properly secure it to avoid

turnover. Otherwise fuel spillage and damage to the equipment and other

baggage may result.

- Shut off the engine during transport.

- Ensure that the fuel tank is completely empty.

- When unloading the equipment from the truck, never drop the engine to the

ground or this may severely damage the fuel tank.

- Remember to lift the entire equipment from the ground when moving the

equipment. Dragging the fuel tank is highly dangerous and will cause damage

and leakage of fuel, possibly causing re.
