• Ensure safe carrying of the chain saw. Whenever the
machine is to be handled or transported, you must:
– switch off the motor and wait for the chain to come to
a complete stop;
– mount the guide bar cover;
– hold the machine using the hand grips and
position the bar in the opposite direction to that used
during operation.
When using a vehicle to transport the chain saw, fasten
the tool firmly and position it so that it is not a danger to
any passengers.
• Before cutting, pruning, or delimbing for the first time,
make sure:
– you have been specifically trained to use this type
of equipment;
– you have carefully read the safety regulations and
user instructions contained in this manual;
– you practice first on logs on the ground or attached to
trestles/saw horses, in order to get familiar with the
machine and the proper cutting techniques.
