the bar or chain are not placed in the correct position.
7. USING THE MACHINE
The machine must only be used for the
purpose for which it has been designed. Any
other purpose could be dangerous, causing
damage to the machine.
Keep body away from the chain of the chainsaw when
the engine is running.
In you slip or fall onto the ground or into a hole,
immediately let go of the throttle lever.
Do not solely rely on the safety devices that are
integrated on this tool.
Do not use the machine if you are feeling
tired, unwell or under the effects of
medication, intoxicating substances or
alcohol.
It is necessary to pay special attention to the
precautions if the machine is used during or just after
rain, since the ground could be slippery.

conditions or when visibility is limited and it is difficult
to see the working area clearly.

accidents and harm.
Do not use the tool for longer than 10 minutes at a
time and rest for 10-20 minutes between sessions.
Never leave the machine running without surveillance.
Do not allow anyone to enter the area in which you
are working. This work perimeter is 15 meters and is
a danger zone.

building. The exhaust gases contain dangerous carbon
monoxide.
If the concentration of gases produced by
inadequate ventilation, remove from the
work area everything that impedes the flow
of clean air for better ventilation and do not return to
work in the area unless you have properly ventilated
the area and be sure that ventilation is enough that it
does not happen again.

will help to keep the tool under control.
Take extreme care when cutting branches or
young trees, small splinters could get caught in the
chain and then be sent flying in the air, hitting or
unbalancing you.
When cutting a branch which is under tension, pay
special attention to the possibility of the branch
bouncing back, in order to avoid being hit by the
branch when the tension is freed.
Check the tree to ensure there are no dead branches
that can fall whilst you are working.
To avoid possible accidents, make sure the cutting
area is kept clear of obstacles at all times.
