Before starting
Remove the guard from the chain and inspect the chainsaw for proper operating
conditions (see maintenance and sharpening of the saw-chain on page 33).
Before starting your engine, always check that it is in good condition, especially the
throttle, the throttle lock, the stop button, and the tool attachment. The throttle stick
must be free to move and always return to the idle position. Never attempt to modify
the control or safety devices.
Never use a damaged, poorly adjusted or serviced or incompletely and securely
mounted device.
Always keep the handles clean and dry. It is especially important to protect them from
moisture, soot, oils, grease, or resins to ensure safe handling and control of your device.
The correct chain tension is fundamental. The tensioning procedure in this manual on
page 28f. must be followed to avoid improper tension. Make sure that the hexagonal
bolts for the sprocket cover are then tightened firmly. Recheck the chain tension after
tightening the bolts.
Never start work with an unattached sprocket cover. Adjust the carrying strap and
handle it to your size before beginning work.
Place the saw on firm ground or another firm surface outside,
or as shown in the picture. Maintain a secure footing and
balance.
Make sure there is nothing near the guide bar and the saw
chain to reduce the risk of injury.
Attach the tool to the hooks on your harness when the engine is idling (see relevant
section).
Important notes
The correct chain tension is always significant. Check it regularly (every time the
chainsaw is switched off). If the chain becomes loose during cutting, turn off the engine
to tighten it. Never do this while the engine is running.
