If the chain delays in stopping or it does not stop,
please see the customer service.
Check the chain brake before each use and make
sure it is sharp.
There is a greater risk of personal injury if the safety
devices are not used, maintenance is inadequate or
the bar or chain are not placed in the correct position.
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.
Do not cut above shoulder height
This product must never be used at night, in foggy
conditions or when visibility is limited and it is difficult
to see the working area clearly.
Lack of sleep, fatigue or physical tiredness can cause
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.
Never start or operate the engine in a closed room or
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.
A firm grip will help to reduce kickback and
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.
