2.2) PRCD, portable residual current device or GFI:
safety rules
ƒ
your chainsaw is equipped with a safety portable
residual current device (PRCD or GFI) assembled
on the cord. This device, shown in figure 9, is
meant to protect the operator in case of
electrical
dissipation. Never use the chainsaw without
PRCD or with damaged PRCD.

ƒ
if, during operation, the PRCD triggers: stop
working, set the switch on the OFF position and
bring your product to an authorized service centre.
2.3) Water supply: Safety rules
ƒ In order to run properly, the chain needs to be
cooled by water.
Prevent water from entering the
electric motor or any other electrical
components. If this happens, the PRCD triggers
and the product needs to be check by an
authorized service center.
2.4) Checks and precautions to avoid structural damage
and damage to a building
Before operating, talk to the construction manager or the

damage the structure of the building and change
the structural characteristics of the construction;
ƒ
damage any water or gas pipeline or any electric
mains.
2.5) Checks and precautions to avoid damage caused
by the fall of the cut out work piece
ƒ
before operating, make sure that the possible falling
of the cut out work piece doesn't make any
damage. In any case, secure the area where the
work piece can fall and signal the danger;
ƒ
if the possible fall of the cut out work piece can
damage anybody or anything, make sure to have a
proper system in place to secure it safely.
2.6) Fastening the work piece and size of the work piece
ƒ
