GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Read this manual carefully before using the chain -
saw and take care of all safety instructions, in
order to prevent any injury and damage. Please
forward these safety instructions to any other
person who uses the chainsaw. Always use your
common sense to avoid all situations considered
beyond your capability. Do not hesitate to contact
with us if you have any questions about the use of
chainsaws. we will provide you with advice as well
as help, on how to use the chainsaw safely.
pERSONAL pROTECTIVE EqUIpMENT
Always use personal protective equipment such
as safety glasses, helmet with visor, protective
gloves, protective clothes from chain cuts, pro -
tective boots and hearing protection.
SAFETY EqUIpMENT ON THE CHAINSAw
Hand guard and chain brake
The chainsaw is equipped with a chain brake (Fig -
ure 1.1) designed to stop the movement of the
chain, in the event of kickback. The chain brake
has been designed in order to prevent and reduce
the risk of accidents.
Make sure that the kickback zone of the bar never
touches any objects. The chain brake can be acti -
vated either manually by hand (push forward) or
automatically by the inertia, when the chainsaw
hits an object downwards. The activation of the
chain brake is achieved with very sudden and vi -
olent movement of the hand guard, due to kick -
back.
The hand guard is also used to protect the hand
holding the front handle, from the risk of hitting
the chain, if the hand loses the grip from the han -
dle.
The chain brake is also used as a parking brake and
must be engaged before starting the chainsaw.
The chain brake must be deactivated immediately
when the chainsaw starts up.
Chain catcher
The chain catcher (Figure 2.16) is used to catch
the chain if it jumps out of the bar, due to inap -
propriate tension of the chain. The chain catcher
protects the user from serious injury. If the chain
catcher is hurt, it must be replaced with new one.
Vibration system
The chainsaw is equipped with anti-vibration el -
ements, to minimize the vibration and make the
operation easier. The anti-vibration system also
protects the user from excessive vibration, which
can result to circulatory damage or nerve damage.
The symptoms of circulatory damage are loss of
fingers feeling, pain, loss of strength and changes
on skin color. The vibration generated by the en -
gine and the cutting equipment is being reduced
and prevented to be transferred on the handles
of the chainsaw. The harder the cutting wood is,
the higher vibration level is and the sharpened the
chain is, the lower vibration level is.
CUTTING EqUIpMENT
The chain teeth (Figure 4) must always be in a well
sharpened condition. Damaged or not properly
sharpened chain, may increase the risk of acci -
dents.
Manage and maintain the correct depth gauge,
since too large clearance increases the risk of kick -
back.
Manage and maintain the correct tension of the
chain. Slack chain may lead to chain jump out
of the bar and wear on the bar, chain and drive
sprocket.
Manage and lubricate properly the cutting equip -
ment. Poor lubrication on the chain may lead to
the breakage of the chain, wear on the bar and
drive sprocket.
Chain sharpening
If you are not familiar with sharpening your chain -
saw chain, we propose to sharpen it professionally
at your nearest service center.
Always use protective glasses and gloves when
sharpening the chain. Use a round file to sharpen
the cutters with outward strokes. After sharp -
ening the cutters, make sure that they have the
same width and length. The depth limiter must
be lowered after sharpening the cutters, using a
flat file.
Chain tensioning
The chain tension is very important and must be
checked before operating the chainsaw. The bet -
ter the chain is tensioned, the best cuts you make!
(See fitting bar and chain)
Chain lubrication
The chainsaw is equipped with automatic chain
lubrication system. Always use chain oil indicated
for chain and bar lubrication, with good adhesion
to the chain. waste engine oil must never being
used, since it can be dangerous for the user and
can lead to the oil pump damage.
