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.

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.

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 9.
• 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. 11).
