sure that the 

cable/

 extension cord is kept behind the 

user, controlling that it does not create a source of 
danger for the user or for other persons, and check 
that it cannot be damaged (by heat, sharp objects, 
sharp edges, oil, etc); Always assume a stable 
standing position on both legs; keep the handles dry 
and clean; during use keep all body parts and 
clothing well clear of the 

chain

; turn off the 

switch

wait until the chain has stopped turning, and activate 
the 

chain brake lever

 before putting down the saw;  

never attempt to cut at heights over shoulder height; 
always handle the machine with the utmost care; 
check that the oil level never drops below MIN level, 
controlling frequently, before and during use; Always 
remain on the left hand side of the machine during 
use, and take great care if the 

bar

 needs to be 

inserted in a previously cut slit; remove the 

bar

 from 

the slit when the 

chain

 is still in rotation. 

12. Transport and storage precautions. 

Each time 

the work area is changed to another location, 
disconnect the machine from the main line and 
activate the 

chain brake lever.

 Mount the 

guide bar 

cover guard 

each time before transporting or storage. 

Always carry the machine by hand with the 

bar

 facing 

backwards, or when transporting the machine in a 
vehicle, always attach it securely to prevent damage. 
Never carry the machine by the 

cable.

 After use, 

store the machine in a dry, high place, far from heat 
sources and out of reach of children.   

 

13. Precautions against fire risk. 

Never use the 

machine in areas where there are naked flames, 
inflammable or potentially explosive materials. 

 

14. Kickback reaction. 

The kickback reaction 

consists of a violent upwards-reverse action of the 

bar

 towards the user. This generally occurs if the 

upper part of the bar nose (called the “kickback 
danger zone”) comes into contact with some object, 
or if the 

chain

 is blocked in the wood. The kickback 

reaction is a very quick sudden motion along the bar 
cutting plane (generally in an upward direction, but 
this also depends on the machine position during 
cutting action). Kickback can make the user loose 
control of the machine provoking dangerous and 
even mortal accidents (i.e: if the saw with the chain in 
rotation is thrust back against the user). The 

chain 

brake lever

 and other safety devices are not sufficient 

to protect the user against injury: the user must be 
well aware of the conditions that can provoke the 
reaction, and prevent them by paying very close 
attention according to experience, together with 
prudent and correct machine handling  (for example: 
never cut several branches at a time because this 
can cause accidental impact on the “kickback danger 
zone”; never mount incorrect 

bars

 or 

chains

; make 

sure the 

chain

 is always sharp and sharpen 

according to correct methods, because incorrect 
sharpening can cause kickback; when choosing the 

bar

, remember that the smaller the nose radius, the 

smaller the kickback danger zone).  

 

 
 
 

C. SAFETY EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

 1,3,6,8,12 

 

SWITCH BLOCK 

Your machine is equipped with a device (fig.1) that 
when deactivated, stops the 

switch

 from being 

pressed thus preventing accidental start-up. 

CHAIN BRAKE ACTION ON SWITCH RELEASE 
(for ES18 models only) 

Your machine is equipped with a device that blocks 
the 

chain 

immediately as soon as the 

switch 

is 

released; If this device should not work at any time, 
the machine must NOT be used, and must be taken 
to an Authorised Service Centre.

  

FRONT HAND GUARD / CHAIN BRAKE LEVER 

The front hand guard

 (fig.2) is designed to prevent 

your left hand from coming into contact with the 

chain

 

(on condition that the machine is held correctly 
according to instructions) . The 

front hand guard

 also 

acts as a 

chain brake

, including a device that blocks 

the chain in a few fractions of a second in the case of 
kickback. The 

chain brake

 is released when the 

front 

hand guard

 is pulled backwards and blocked in 

position (the chain is able to move). The 

chain brake

 

is activated when the 

front hand

 

guard

 is pushed 

forward (the chain is blocked).
