Either of these reactions may cause you to lose
control of the saw which could result in serious
personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the
safety devices built into your saw. As a chain
saw user, you should take several steps to keep
your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/
or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below:
• Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs
and fingers encircling the chain saw
handles, with both hands on the saw
and your body and arm positioned to
allow you to resist kickback forces.
Kickback forces can be controlled by
the operator, if proper precautions are
taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.
• Do not overreach and do not cut
above shoulder height. This helps
prevent unintended tip contact and
enables better control of the chain
saw in unexpected situations.
• Only use replacement bars and chains
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement bars and chains may cause
chain breakage and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer's sharpening
and maintenance instructions for the
saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge
height can lead to increased kickback.
• Techniques for using the electric
chain-saw (battery-operated)
Always observe the safety regulations
and use the most suitable cutting
techniques according to the work to be
performed, following the instructions and
examples in the user instructions.
• Safe carrying of the electric
chain-saw (battery-operated)
Whenever the machine is to be
handled or transported you must:
– turn off the motor, wait for the chain to stop
and unplug the machine from the mains;
– apply the protection bar cover;
– only hold the machine using the handles
and position the bar in the opposite
direction to that used during operation;
When using a vehicle to transport the machine,
position it so that it can cause no danger
to persons and fasten it firmly in place.
• Recommendations for first-time users
Before felling or delimbing for
the first time, make sure:
– you have been specifically trained
to use this type of equipment;
– you have carefully read the safety
regulations and user instructions
contained in this manual;
– you practise first on logs on the ground
or attached to trestles, in order to
get familiar with the machine and the
most suitable cutting techniques.
• Handling and correct use of
battery-operated power tools
a) Make sure that the machine is switched
off before inserting the battery. Inserting
a battery in an electric device which is
switched on can cause accidents.
b) Charge battery packs only with
the chargers recommended by the
manufacturer. Battery chargers are
generally specific for each battery type;
use with other types can cause fire risks.
c) Use only batteries specifically designed
for your power tool. The use of other
batteries may cause injuries and fire risks.
d) Keep all unused batteries at a distance
from paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects as
contact with the same can cause short
circuits. Short circuits between battery
contacts can lead to explosion or fires.
e) Batteries in poor condition can cause
liquids to leak. Avoid contact with the
liquid. In the case of accidental contact
flush with water. If the liquid comes into
contact with the eyes, also seek medical
advice. Liquid leaking from the battery
may cause skin irritation or burns.
f) Check that the accumulator is in good
condition and there are no signs of
damage. Do not use the device with
a damaged or worn accumulator.
2.4 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Safeguarding the environment must
be a relevant and priority aspect of
machine use, of benefit to the community
and the environment we live in.
• Avoid being a disturbance to the
neighbourhood. Use this machine at
reasonable times of the day only (not
early morning or late evening when the
noise could cause disturbance).
• A certain amount of chain lubricating oil
is released into the environment when
the machine is running, so only use
biodegradable oils made specifically for
this use. Use of a mineral oil or motor oil
causes serious damage to the environment.
• Scrupulously comply with local regulations for
the disposal of packaging, deteriorated parts
or any elements with a strong environmental
