6. USING THE MACHINE
The safety regulations to follow
are described in chap. 2. Strictly
comply with these instructions to
avoid serious risks or hazards.
IMPORTANT For instructions
regarding the motor and the battery (if
supplied), read the relevant manuals.
6.1 PREPARATION
Before starting to work, it is necessary to carry
out several checks and operations to ensure
you can work efficiently and in maximum safety.
6.1.1 Checking the battery .
• Before each use:
– check the battery charge status according
to the instructions in the battery booklet.
6.1.2 USING THE HARNESS
The machine must always be used pro-
perly hooked to the harness worn when
using extension pole. Frequently check the
efficiency of the quick release mechanism
used to quickly free the machine from the
belts in case of danger.
The webbing must be put on before connecting
the machine to the special coupling and the belts
must be adjusted to suit the operator’s height and
stature.
• The belt Fig. 12.A) must go over the
left shoulder towards the right hip.
• Fasten the snap hook (Fig. 12.B) to the
provided fitting on the extension tube.
6.1.3 Filling with chain lubrication oil
Fill with chain lubrication oil before using
the machine. For oil filling methods and
precautions (see paragraph 7.3).
6.1.4 Checking the chain tension
Perform all operations
with the motor off.
Check the chain tension.
The tension is correct when the drive links
do not slip out of the chain guides if you hold
the chain in the middle of the bar (Fig. 7).
To adjust the chain tension:
1. loosen the cover knob,
2. turn the chain tension knob (Fig. 5.D)
to achieve the desired tension;
3. raise the bar and tighten the
guard knob (Fig. 8.A).
Never work with the chain loose,
as it can be hazardous if the chain
slips out of the bar guides.
IMPORTANT During the first period of use
(or after replacing the chain) it must be checked
more frequently due to settling of the chain.

check that the results correspond to
