Safety precautions
General information
Never allow children, or persons unfamiliar with
these instructions, to use the chainsaw. Some local
regulations may set limits on the age of the
operator, always comply with the regulations in
effect.
The chainsaw is suitable for cutting wood only. Do
not use it to cut plastic materials or metal. Follow
the cutting instructions in paragraph E.
Never hold the chainsaw near your body or your
clothing when starting or using it. Before starting
the chainsaw make sure nothing is touching the
chain and do not start the tool when it is upside
down.
Ensure you have a firm, secure footing when using
the chainsaw and do not perform cutting operations
while standing on the tree or on a ladder.
Before felling a tree, consider all conditions
carefully, including the intended direction of fall, the
natural lean of the tree, surrounding trees and
obstacles, wind direction and speed.
Electric parts
Use only heavily insulated extension cords that
comply with the regulations in effect.
Before starting the chainsaw make sure the cable
is not in the cutting zone.
Always make sure that the mains cable and the
extension cable do not show any sign of wear or
damage, and replace any damage cables promptly.
Keep the cable away from sources of heat, oil and
sharp objects.
Use only original accessories and replacements as
they have been designed to ensure the maximum
safety and durability of the machine.
The name of your nearest authorized service
dealer is printed in the service stations list enclosed
in the package. We recommend that you have your
unit checked periodically and serviced if necessary
only by authorized personnel. Repairs and
alterations on the chainsaw made by unauthorized
personnel will invalidate the warranty.
Wear closely fitting clothing of the approved type.
Always wear adequate eye protection such as
safety goggles or an approved facemask.
Wear an approved safety hard hat to protect your
head along with approved ear protection (ear plugs
or mufflers), as chainsaw noise can damage your
hearing in the long run. Local regulations may
require other safety precautions when using
chainsaws: always comply with the legislation in
effect.
Prolonged use of chainsaws or other tool that
expose the operator to vibrations, may cause
“White-finger disease” (Raynaud syndrome). This
may reduce the sensitivity of the hand to
temperature as well as producing general
numbness. Continual or regular users should
therefore monitor the condition of their hands and
fingers closely. If any of the symptoms appear,
seek immediate medical advice.
Do not use the chainsaw in a potentially explosive
environment; it is also a good idea for the operator
always to carry an adequate first aid kit.
Never use the chainsaw, or any other power tool, if
you are tired, ill or under the effect of medicine,
alcohol or drugs.
Always keep the chainsaw out of the reach of
children. Animals and bystanders should be kept at
a safe distance.
Use the chainsaw in daylight and with good
visibility.
When carrying the chainsaw, hold it by its front
handle with the bar facing behind you.
Never drag the chainsaw by its cable or move it
from one place to another while plugged in or with
your fingers on the trigger.
Check every time you use the chainsaw that the
chain stops immediately when the chain brake is
engaged.
Never use the chainsaw when the brake is not
working correctly, and contact your authorized
service center at once.
When sawing, do not use the chainsaw above
shoulder height. Make sure the chain does not
touch any foreign objects such as rocks, nails,
wires and other objects that could strike persons or
animals, causing injury and even death. The
operator is responsible for any accidents to third
parties.
