• Look out for traffic when using
the machine near the road.
• To avoid the risk of fire, do not leave the
machine with the engine hot on leaves,
dry grass or other flammable material.
Behaviour
• When operating, the machine must always
be firmly held in both hands, (left hand on the
front hand grip and the right hand on the rear
hand grip, even if the operator is left-handed)
at a safe distance from all body parts.
• Always use caution and take on a
firm and well balanced position.
• Avoid using unstable ladders or platforms.
• Avoid working alone or in an isolated place, in
case you have to find help after an accident.
• Never run, always walk.
• Make sure the bar does not come into violent
contact with foreign bodies/obstacles and
try to prevent any material from being hurled
by the moving chain. Kickback may occur if
the bar comes into contact with an obstacle.
Kickback occurs when the tip of the chain
comes in contact with an object or when the
wood contracts and jams the chain during
sawing. This contact with the tip of the chain
can cause a rapid backward motion, pushing
the guide bar up and towards the operator.
This also happens when the chain is jammed
along the upper part of the bar. In both cases,
kickback can cause the operator to lose
control of the chainsaw, leading to serious
consequences. To prevent kickbacks, take
all appropriate precautions provided below:
– Hold the saw firmly, with the thumbs
and fingers around the chainsaw grips,
and position your body and arms so that
you can resist the force of a kickback.
– Do not fully extend the arms and do
not saw above shoulder height.
– Only use the guide bar and chains
recommended by the manufacturer.
– Follow the manufacturer's
instructions regarding sharpening
and maintenance of the chainsaw.
• Avoid exposure to dust and sawdust
produced by the chain when cutting.
• Do not touch the engine parts which
heat up during use. Burns hazard.
If something breaks or an accident
occurs during work, turn off the engine
immediately and move the machine away
to prevent further damage; if an accident
occurs with injuries or third parties are
injured, carry out the first aid measures
most suitable for the situation immediately
and contact the medical authorities for any
necessary health care. Carefully remove
any debris which could cause damage or
injury to persons or animals if ignored.
Prolonged exposure to vibrations can
cause injuries and neurovascular disorders
(also called "Raynaud's syndrome" or "white
finger"), especially to people suffering from
circulation disorders. The symptoms appear in
the hands, wrists and fingers and are shown
through loss of sensitivity, torpor, itching, pain
and discolouring of or structural changes to the
skin. These effects can be worsened by low
ambient temperatures and/or by gripping the
hand grips excessively tightly. If the symptoms
occur, the length of time the machine is used
must be reduced and a doctor consulted.

Restrictions for use

• Do not use the machine if you are unable
to hold it with both hands or keep it
steady on your legs while working.
• Never use the machine with damaged,
missing or incorrectly positioned guards.
• Don't use the machine if the attachments/
tools are not installed in their seats.
• Never disengage, deactivate, remove
or tamper with the safety systems/
micro switches installed.
• Do not alter the engine adjustments, nor
over-run it. If the engine is forced to work
with an excessive number of rotations,
the risk of personal injury increases.
• Do not strain the machine too much and do not
use a small machine for heavy duty work. If you
use the right machine, you will reduce the risk
of hazards and improve the quality of your work.

2.4 MAINTENANCE, STORAGE

Ensure regular maintenance and correct
storage to maintain machine safety
and high performance levels.
Maintenance
• To reduce the risk of fire, regularly check
the machine for oil and/or fuel leaks.
The noise and vibration levels shown
in these instructions are the maximum
levels for use of the machine. The use of an
unbalanced cutting element, the excessive
speed of movement, or the absence of
maintenance have a significant influence on
noise emissions and vibrations. Consequently,
it is necessary to take preventive steps to
eliminate possible damage due to high levels
of noise and stress from vibration. Maintain
the machine well, wear ear protection
devices and take breaks whilst working.
