USERS
• This machine has been designed to be manipulated by users of legal age who have read and understood these
instructions. Do not allow people under age and people who do not understand these instructions to use the
machine.
• Familiarise yourself with this machine before using it. Make sure you know where all the controls are, the security
devices and how they should be used.
• If you are an inexperienced user, it is highly recommend that you practice doing simple jobs and, if possible, in
the company of an experienced person.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Use this machine, accessories, tools, etc. in accordance with these instructions and in the manner provided,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.
• Be alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating this machine. Never use the machine
with defective protections or without safety devices.
• Do not modify the controls of this machine.
• Do not use this machine if any of its components are damaged.
• Avoid inhalation of exhaust gases. This machine produces dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide that can
cause dizziness, fainting or death.
• Do not use this machine when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
• Remove all keys or tools from the work area before starting this machine. A nearby key or tool may be touched
and projected causing personal injury.
• Always maintain proper foot support and operate the machine only when it is on a fixed, secure, level surface.
Sliding or unstable surfaces can cause a loss of balance or control of the machine.
• When operating from heights, never work on a ladder, tree, or unsafe support and never operate with one hand.
• Keep all body parts away from cutting elements and moving parts when the machine is running. Before starting
the machine, make sure that the cutting element is not in contact with any objects. A moment of carelessness
during operation may cause your clothing or body part to be cut by the cutting element.
• Always hold the saw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding the
saw with your hands upside down increases the risk of an accident and should never be done.
• Check the condition of the tree to prevent dry branches from falling on it while you cut. When cutting a branch
that is under tension, be alert to the risk of elastic return. When the tension of the wood fibres is released, the
branch, under a spring effect, can hit the operator and/or project the saw out of control.
• Use extreme caution when cutting weeds and young shrubs. Fine materials can trap the saw chain and be
projected onto you, or cause you to lose your balance under the effect of traction.
• If you are an inexperienced user we recommend that you do a minimal amount of practice cutting logs on a
sawhorse or sawing fork.
• Do not touch the machine exhaust with the engine running or just after it has stopped.
• Do not leave this machine unattended during operation. If you have to leave the machine unattended turn off
the engine, wait for the cutting tool to stop and unplug the spark plug wire.
