2.2.3 Clothing and equipment
• Always use adequate clothing as called for by the job. Wear tight clothing. Do not
wear ties, necklaces or belts or keep loose long hair, which may get caught in the
moving parts. Use anti-sliding shoes and anti-puncture safety gloves.
• Wear protective glasses or a visor and a noise-abatement headset.
2.2.4 Workplace safety
• Use the tool only in good visibility conditions. A dark work area could cause accidents. Do not make cuts in low light
conditions, such as in the dark in closed or open environments, at night, at sunset, at dawn, with dust or sand in the air
that prevent clear visibility from less than 2 meters. To check whether the visibility is acceptable, put the tool at 2 me-
ters with visible labels, which must be clearly read.
• Do not use the tool in an explosive, flammable or damp environment.
• Keep children, bystanders or animals at a safe distance before operating the tool, in order to avoid dangers or injuries.
When determining the safety distance, assess the risk of free falling branches being thrown at people, objects or ani-
mals. Under normal conditions of tension, 5 meters is the adequate safety distance from the ends of the branches.
2.2.5 Electric safety
• Before, during or after its use, do not leave the tool in the rain or water, in humid environments or in any other damp
condition, in order to avoid the risk of electric shocks or short circuits.
• Keep the tool away from heat, oil, solvents, sharp edges and moving parts.
• Never leave the tool under the rain. Keep it in a dry place.
• Leakage of liquid from the battery could cause injuries to the operator. Do not touch the battery fluid. In case of con-
tact, rinse abundantly with clean water. If the liquid comes into contact with the eyes, thoroughly rinse with clean water
and immediately contact a specialized doctor.
For all information and warnings regarding the use of the lithium battery, see the instructions supplied with the
battery.
Carefully read the following instructions. Failure to follow them could cause electric shocks, fire or serious dam-
ages.
2.3 Use warnings
2.3.1 Tool use warnings
• Never use the tool if it is damaged, incorrectly regulated or only partially assembled.
• Keep a safe and stable working position, which guarantees a perfect balance (i.e. flat and dry surface).
• When the LED light (12) is on, it means that the tool is powered.
• Never use the tool, if the ON/OFF switch (5) is faulty.
• Use the tool, its accessories, etc. according to these instructions and focusing on the working conditions and on the
operations to be carried out.
• The flashing LED light (12) shows that the tool has stopped due to motor overheating or to exceeding the maximum
power level. To start the tool again, switch it off and on by means of the ON/OFF switch (5).
• Always check that the safety devices are perfectly efficient.
• Before starting the tool, make sure the chain (16) is not in contact with anything.
• Hold the tool handles (1) and (10) with both hands tight.
• When cutting, make the motor run at high speed.
• Be very careful when cutting bushes or small shrubs, since soft parts may get entangled in the chain (16) and then may
be thrown against the operator, or they may make him lose his balance.
• Be very careful with the handles (1) and (10). They must be always perfectly dry, clean and free from oil residues.
• Check the oil level. It must always reach at least the half of the oil reservoir (20). Lack of oil causes chain (16) seizing.
• Keep the bar (16) and the chain (15) clean.
• It is forbidden to operate the tool on ladders.
• Never cut branches which are close to electric wires.
• Do not touch the chain (16) while it is rotating
• Be careful with the kickback effects due to upwards directed reaction movements of the bar (15). They may make the
operator lose his balance or the tool control.
• Be careful when cutting taut branches. They could cause loss of control of the tool.
• Inhaling atomized oil and/or wooden dust can cause irritation or intoxication of the operator’s breathing system. In case
of prolonged problems, please contact a specialist doctor.
• Be always focused on what you are doing and use common sense when operating tools.
