Do not use the machine when you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medicines. One
moment´s distraction can cause serious personal injury.
Remove all tools from the working area before starting
the machine. Any tools left in the working area can be
touched by any moving part of the machine and be
hurled causing personal damages.
Do not overstretch. Maintain your feet well placed on
the floor and maintain a good equilibrium at all times.
Always maintain proper foot support and run the
machine only when standing on a fixed surface, safe
and stable. Or unstable sliding surfaces may cause
loss of balance or control of the machine.
Keep all parts of body away from the cutting parts
and other moving parts when the machine is running.
Before start up, make sure that the cutting element
is not in contact with any object. One small lapse in
attention can cause your clothes or any body part to
be caught by the cutting device.
Maintain all body parts well clear of the chain of the
machine when the machine is in use.
Before start up, make sure the chain is not in contact
with any object. One moment of distraction during use
can cause your clothing or any body part to come into
contact with the chain and can cause severe personal
damage.
Hold the machine always with your right hand on the
back handle and your left hand on the front handle.
Holding the machine with your hands switched,
increases the risk of corporal damage and should
never be done.
Verify the state of the tree prior to cutting to ensure
that dry branches will not fall off on top of you whilst
cutting.
When cutting a branch that is under tension, be alert
to the risk of it hitting back. When the tension of the
fibres of the wood are released, the branch can kick
back at you and you may lose control of the machine.
Be extremely careful when cutting shrubs and young
trees. Thin materials can be projected towards the end
user or could make you lose your equilibrium.
If you are not an expert user we recommend that you
firstly practice cutting trunks on top of a log holder.
If the machine vibrates abnormally, stop the engine
and inspect the machine looking for the possible
cause and repair it. If you do not find the motive, take
the machine to your nearest after sales dealer.
Do not touch the exhaust of the machine or the engine
when stopping the engine. The exhaust will be hot
some time after turning the engine off. The machine
heats up when functioning and will remain hot for
some time after stopping the engine.
Do not leave the machine running unattended. If
you must leave the machine unattended shut off the
engine, wait until the cutting device stops and unplug
the spark plug wire.
Hold the front handle with the machine disconnected
and at a safe distance from other body parts. When
transporting or storing the machine, always cover the
blade and chain with a cover. An appropriate use of
the machine will reduce the risk of contact with the
chain in motion.
Do not try to remove cuttings from the work area or
from the blade when the machine is in movement.
Make sure the machine has stopped completely
before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning work
on the machine and the working area.
