6.5. CHECK POINTS BEFORE START-UP
Before starting work, always check that the
chainsaw is working correctly and that it is safe to
operate.
Check the machine and look for loose parts (bolts,
nuts, casings, etc..) and damage. Tighten, repair or
replace the parts that you have found to be in poor
condition. Make sure there are no oil leaks or leaks.
Do not use the machine if it is damaged or incorrectly
adjusted.
6.5.1. SAFETY BRAKE CHECK
On kickback, the tip of the chain bar rises sharply, the
chainsaw changes angle rapidly so that the user does
not have time to change the position of the arm which
hits the safety guard and activates the safety brake .
The safety brake stops the chainsaw motor in less
than 0.15 s.
Lock position
The safety brake can be activated at any time by
pushing the safety guard
forward. To release the safety brake
pull the safety guard back until you hear a "click".
Be sure to check the safety brake each time you use
the machine. To do this, with the chainsaw unplugged,
activate the safety brake by pushing the safety guard
towards you until you hear a "click". Holding the
chainsaw horizontally about 40 cm from a piece of
wood, remove your hand from the front grip and let

the machine rotate in your right hand until the nose of
the bar touches the wood. If the brake works correctly,
the chain should not move when it touches the wood.
Otherwise, the brake will not be acting correctly and
you should take the chainsaw to the technical service
for its review.
6.5.2. CHAIN OIL
Use only special oil for chainsaw chains. Do not use
used or impurity oils as this could damage the machine's
oil pump.
The chain oil must be filled in the chain oil tank (6). To
prevent dirt from getting inside the tank, clean the oil
tank cap before opening it. Close the oil level plug by
tightening it and clean up if oil has spilled out of the
reservoir.
Check the contents of the oil tank by looking at the oil
level window.
Min.: When only 5 mm approx. oil levels are visible at
the lower edge of the oil level.
Max: Filled with oil until the window is full.
Note: The service life of chainsaw chains and
guide bars is highly dependent on the quality of
the lubricant used. Old oil must not be used! Use
only environmentally friendly chain lubricant. Store
chain lubricant only in containers that comply with
regulations.
