carefully. Become acquainted with the controls and 

the proper use of the machine. Learn how to stop the 

machine quickly.

2.  Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible  

for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or  

their property.

3.  Always wear suitable clothing when using the machine. 

Wear anti-vibration gloves and other personal  

protective equipment.

  All the above-mentioned precautions do not, however, 

guarantee the prevention of certain risks – i.e. Raynaud’s 

phenomenon or Carpal tunnel syndrome. For operators 

who use this machine for prolonged periods, it is 

therefore recommended to have periodic checkups on 

their hands and fingers. If any of the above mentioned 

symptoms should appear, please contact a physician 

immediately.

4. 

Work only in daylight or good artificial light.

5.  Take utmost care when working near metal fences.
6.  Take care not to hit the bar hard against foreign objects or 

flying debris caused by the movement of the chain.

7.  Stop the motor and remove the battery from  

the compartment:

  Whenever you leave the machine unattended; 

  Before cleaning, checking or servicing the machine;

  After striking a foreign object. Inspect the machine  

 

for any damage and make repairs before restarting  

 

it again;

  If the machine begins to vibrate abnormally,  

 

immediately look for the cause of the vibrations

IMPORTANT! Always remember that an incorrectly used  

chain saw may disturb others and have a serious impact on 

the environment.
To respect people and the environment:

•  Avoid using the machine in environments or at times of the 

day when it may disturb others.

•  Scrupulously comply with local regulations and provisions 

for the disposal of waste materials after sawing.

•  Scrupulously comply with local regulations and provisions 

for the disposal of oils, damaged parts or any elements 

which have a strong impact on the environment.

•  A certain amount of chain lubricating oil is released into 

the environment when the machine is running, so only use 

biodegradable oils made specifically for this use.

•  To avoid the risk of fire, do not leave the machine with the 

motor hot on leaves or dry grass.

m

WARNING! 

It takes specific training to use the machine 

for felling and delimbing.

Checks During Work

•  Checking the chain tension

The chain tends to stretch gradually as you work, so you need 

to check its tension frequently.
IMPORTANT!

 During the first period of use (or after replacing 

the chain), the chain tension must be checked more frequently 

due to settling of the chain.

m

WARNING! 

Never work with the chain loose, as it can 

be hazardous if the chain slips out of its guide.
To adjust the chain tension, follow the instructions in  

“Adjust Chain Tension” on pages 11.

•  Checking the oil delivery

IMPORTANT!

 Never use the machine without lubrication! You 

can check the oil level in the tank through the transparent 

gauge. Make sure you fill up the oil tank every time you use 

the machine. For best results, use only a good quality bar and 

chain oil designed specifically for use with chain saws.

m

WARNING! 

Make sure the bar and the chain are in 

place when you check the oil delivery.
Start the motor and check if the chain oil is delivered as shown 

below (Fig. 10).
