mounted correctly and that the chain is correctly tensioned, last but not

"dangerous area", i.e. an area near which the presence of an exposed
person constitutes a risk to the health and safety of that person. This
applies in particular in the presence of people who are not trained in
using the machines.
- The area surrounding the operating area of the machines must
always be clean and kept free of any impediment. Make sure there are
no people or animals in the work area.
- When a person is "exposed" or is in a "dangerous area", the operator
must immediately intervene by stopping the machines and possibly
removing the person in question.
-During the operation of the machines, the operator must maintain a
position that allows full control, so as to be able to intervene at any time
and in any eventuality.
- Before placing the machine in the sheath or case, make sure that the
chain is stopped, turn off the machine and attach the bar cover.
- Periodically check the integrity and that the parts are not worn.
