PRACTICAL TIPS
Recoil
ATTENTION! Avoid cutting with the tip of the guide bar as this
may cause the saw to kick back upwards. Kickback is
understood as the upward and / or backward movement of the
chainsaw chain guide, which may occur when the saw chain
meets an obstacle with its segment at the tip of the guide bar
(Fig. N).
When working with a chain saw, always use complete safety
equipment and appropriate work clothes.
• Make sure that the material to be cut is firmly fixed.
• Use clamps to hold the material in place.
• Hold the chain saw with both hands when starting and operating.
• During kickback, the saw behaves in an uncontrolled manner and
the chain becomes loose.
• An incorrectly sharpened chain increases the risk of kickback.
• Never cut above shoulder height.
ATTENTION! In the event of the chain jamming when cutting
with the upper part of the chain, the so-called kickback
directed towards the operator. For this reason, where possible,
try to cut with the lower part of the chain, because then, when
the chain gets jammed, the recoil effect will be directed away
from the operator's body, towards the cut wood.
WOOD CUTTING
When cutting pieces of wood, follow the safety instructions and
proceed as follows:
• Make sure that the piece of material cannot move.
• Fasten short pieces of material with clamps before starting to cut.
• Slowly moving only cut wood or wood-based materials.
• Before cutting, make sure the saw does not come into contact with
stones or nails, as this could break the saw out and damage the
saw chain.
• Avoid situations where a running saw could touch the wire fence
or the ground.
• When cutting branches, support the saw as much as possible and
do not cut through the guide bar of the saw chain with the tip.
• Watch out for obstacles such as protruding stumps, roots, hollows
and holes in the ground as they may cause you to fall.
CUTTING THROUGH TREE TRUNKS
• Press the buttress claw (10) against the material and make a cut
(Fig. O).
• If the cutting could not be completed despite the saw depletion
being able to move, do the following:
- move the guide back some distance from the material to be cut
(with the saw chain moving), move the handle (7) down slightly and
support the buttress claw (10).
- finish the cut by slightly lifting the handle (7).
CUTTING THROUGH ON THE EARTH
WARNING!
• Always have a firm grip on the ground with your feet. It is not
allowed to stand on the trunk.
• Watch out for the fallen trunk to turn over.
• Follow the instructions in the safe work instructions to avoid
kickback of the saw
• Always finish the cut on the tensile side to prevent the saw chain
from jamming in the kerf.
• Before starting work, check the direction of the tension in the log
to be cut to avoid jamming the saw chain.
• Make the first cut on the tensile side to eliminate it (fig. P).
• When cutting a stump lying on the ground, first make a cut to a
depth equal to 1/3 of its diameter, then turn the stump and finish
cutting on the opposite side.
• When cutting a stump lying on the ground, do not allow the saw
chain to sink into the ground located under the stump. Failure to do
so may result in immediate damage to the chain.
• When cutting logs lying on a slope, the operator should always be
on the slope above the log.
CUTTING HILLED ABOVE THE EARTH
In the case of trunks supported or placed on stable trestles,
depending on the cutting site, always indent one third of the trunk
thickness from the side.compressive stress and finish the cut on the
opposite side (Fig. R).
TRIMMING / CUTTING BRANCHES OF TREES AND BUSHES
• Trimming the branches of the felled tree should be started at the
base of the felled tree and continued towards the top. Cut small
twigs with one cut.
• First check in which direction the branch is bent. Then make a
preliminary cut from the side of the bend and finish the cut from the
opposite side. Be careful that the branch being cut may spring back.
• When pruning tree branches you should always cut from top to
bottom, allowing the cut branches to fall freely. Sometimes,
however, it may be useful to undercut the branches from below (Fig.
S).
• Be especially careful when cutting through branches that may be
under tension. Such a branch may jump back and hit the operator
when cut off.
WARNING!
• Branches must not be cut while climbing a tree.
• Do not stand on ladders, platforms, logs or any other position
that may cause loss of balance and control of the saw.
• Do not cut above shoulder height.
• Always hold the saw with both hands.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Before performing any installation, adjustment,
repair or maintenance activities, remove the battery from the
device.
ATTENTION! Be careful with the sharp edges of the chain.
When the saw is not in use, the guide bar and chain should
always be protected with a guard (fig. T).
SHARPENING THE SAW CHAIN
Give proper attention to cutting tools. Cutting tools should be sharp
and clean to ensure that the job is done efficiently and safely.
Sharpening a chain yourself requires the necessary equipment as
well as skill. It is recommended that chain sharpening be entrusted
to specialized workshops.
CHAIN GUIDE
The guide bar is subject to particularly intense wear on the front and
bottom parts. To prevent frictional wear from one side, it is
recommended to check the guide bar each time the chain is
sharpened.
CHAIN WHEEL
The chain wheel (17) is subject to particularly intense wear. If there
are clear signs of wear on the gear teeth, the wheel must be
replaced. A worn chain wheel will further reduce the life of the saw
chain. The sprocket should be replaced by an authorized service
workshop.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
• Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents as these may damage
the plastic parts.
• Be careful not to let water get inside the device.
• Always ensure that the air vents in the motor housing are not
obstructed.
• Only the maintenance work described in this manual may be
carried out on the saw. Any other activities may only be performed
by an authorized service center.
• do not make any changes to the structure of the saw.
• The saw, when not in use, should be stored clean, on a flat
surface, in a dry place, out of the reach of children.
All kinds of faults should be removed by the manufacturer's
authorized service.
