6. Health precautions – Chemical agents. 

Avoid all 

chain oil contact with skin and eyes.  

7. Health precautions - Electricity. 

All extension 

cords, plugs, and electricity lines must be 
homologated, to standard and in compliance with 
current regulations. Make sure that the main line to 
which the machine is connected is equipped with a 
residual current device (RCD) with a current capacity 
no higher than 30mA. Make sure that all cables, 
plugs, and the residual current device are in correct 
working condition, that they comply with required 
characteristics, are mounted or hooked up correctly 
and are perfectly clean. Never disconnect the 
machine from the main line by pulling on the 

cable.

 

Never use or store the machine and extension cord in 
damp environments. If the cable is damaged in any 
way, disconnect immediately from the main line 
socket, taking great care not to touch any exposed 
wires. Avoid all contact with grounded surfaces when 
using the machine (metal piping, cables, lightening 
conductors, etc). When working outdoors, all 
extension cords attached to the machine must be 
homologated for use out of doors. Avoid tying any 
knots in electric cables and never use rolled up 
extension cords. 

 

8. 

Health precautions 

- Heat. 

During use 

pinion

 

and 

chain

 reach very high temperatures, take care 

not to touch these parts while hot. 

 

9. 

Health precautions 

– Sharp or moving 

parts.   

Never touch the 

chain

 except when the 

machine is switched off; in any case, always take 
great care since the 

chain

 is very sharp and can cut 

even when stopped. Remember that the 

chain

 will 

continue to rotate for a short time after the machine 
has been switched off. 

 

10. Work area. 

Control the whole work area carefully 

to check for any danger source (e.g.: roads, paths, 
electric cables, dangerous trees, etc) Take special 
care when working on sloping ground. Cluttered 
areas can lead to injuries: before using the machine 
remove any stones, glass, cables, metal components, 
cans, bottles and any other foreign matter from the 
work area.  Also take into consideration any danger 
risks that may not be noticed because of machine 
noise. Make sure that a second person is within 
calling distance in the case of accident. When 
working in isolated areas, always carry a first aid kit 
and make sure you have advised others of your exact 
location.  

11. Work operations

  

Never start work with the machine before 
performing the following

: remove the giude 

bar 

cover guard;

 make sure that a sufficient amount of oil 

has reached the 

chain; 

make sure you have a 

planned retreat path from falling trees (when cutting 
trees). 

It is strictly forbidden to use the machine for:

 

moving branches or roots; in cases where there is 
any danger that the 

chain

 may come into contact with 

the ground, electric protection, or piled wood; for 
cutting very thin branches or bushes (these will break 
easily and can whip bystanders or the user causing 
serious injury); for felling trees without adequate 
training and equipment (correct ropes, hooks, etc); 
starting sawing operations with the blade already 
engaged in a previous groove or slit; using the 
machine while standing on stepladders or other 
unstable surfaces; using the machine in extreme 
weather conditions, inclement weather, with reduced 
visibility and insufficient lighting (very low 
temperatures, very hot damp climates, fog, rain, wind, 
at night, etc.); using the machine with arms stretched: 
work must always be performed in a manner to 
ensure that the user can react immediately to 
unexpected conditions;  it is forbidden to leave the 
machine unguarded; permitting others to touch the 
cable, extension cord , or the machine; forcing the 
machine during cutting action (this can lead to motor 
damage or loss of control over the machine); blocking 
the 

switch

 or the 

switch block

 with adhesive tape or 

other materials.  

Always remember to:

 cut wood only (never cut 

plastic, metal, or other materials); make sure that the 

switch

 is NOT turned ON before inserting the plug in 

the socket or releasing the 

chain brake lever

; make 

sure that the 

chain

 is not in contact with any objects 

at the moment the 

switch 

is turned ON; Keep all 

bystanders and animals well clear of the work area 
(where necessary, fence off the area and use 
warning signs) at a minimum distance of 2.5 m times 
the trunk height; in any case no less than ten meters. 
Wherever possible use a vice or a saw horse to block 
the wood to be cut; always hold the machine  as 
follows: Grip the 

front handle

 with the left hand and  

the 

rear handle

 with the right hand, closing the thumb 

and other fingers firmly around the handle (during 
use, the machine could slide forwards or backwards, 
or create a reverse action, provoking a kickback 
reaction: holding the machine correctly reduces the 
risk of loosing control over the tool); Always make
