accidents that may cause injury to other
persons and damage to property, as well as
any other type of danger risk. The machine
must never be used for operations other
than those specifically described in this
manual, and exclusively with the bars and
chains included. This machine must never
be used when users are tired, or not in
good physical condition, or if under the
effect of any substance that may alter their
physical or mental condition
(pharmaceuticals, alcohol, drugs etc.)
Make certain that the user knows how to
stop the motor and chain in case of
necessity. Take great care and pay close
attention at all times when using this
machine, following all general behaviour
rules according to good sense.
1. Control checks. Check the machine
with care before use each time, especially if
it has been subject to strong impact, or if it
shows any signs of malfunction. Check
that the machine has been assembled
correctly, that all components are in correct
condition and perfectly clean. Perform all
operations described in the chapter
“Maintenance –before each use”. Make
sure that all spanners and tools used for
adjustment operations have been removed,
that all screws and nuts are in their correct
housing and tightened correctly, and that
the bar and the chain are mounted
correctly. If even one single condition
described above is not satisfactory DO
NOT USE the machine.
2. Repairs and Maintenance. All the
machine parts that can be replaced
personally, are clearly explained in the
“Assembly / disassembly” instructions
chapter. In the case of damaged or worn
components, always use exclusively
original homologated accessories and
spare parts that are available from official
distributors. Where necessary, all other
machine parts must be replaced exclusively
by an Authorised Service Centre. All
danger risks increase considerably if
maintenance operations are not performed
regularly, not performed by competent
professional personnel, or if non-original
accessories /spare parts are mounted on
the machine. In any of the cases described
above, the manufacturer will not be held
responsible for any injury to persons or
damage to property. In the case of any
doubt, please contact an Authorised
Service Centre.
3. Maintenance in complete safety. All
maintenance, assembly, disassembly and
oil tank filling operations must be performed
with the machine set in a stable position on
a flat solid surface and with the cable plug
disconnected from the electricity supply
(unless this is explicitly specified
otherwise). The chain must be stopped
and the user must wear suitable protective
gloves.
4. Clothing. (fig 4) When using this
machine the user must wear the following
approved individual protective clothing :
close-fitting protective clothing, safety boots
with non-slip soles, crush-proof toe
protectors and cut-proof protection; cut-
proof vibration-proof gloves, protective
goggles or safety visor (remove protective
film where present); ear protection muffs;
helmet (if there is any danger of falling
objects); some efficient method to cover or
tie hair back from shoulder length (if hair is
longer than shoulders); dust-proof mask.
DO NOT WEAR shorts, loose clothing,
unbuttoned clothing, or any jewellery that
could become caught in moving machine
parts. Do not wear sandals and never work
bare-footed. All protective clothing should
be in good condition and well maintained.
5. Health precautions – Vibrations and
Noise levels. Avoid using the machine for
long periods of time: the noise and
vibrations can be dangerous causing
irritation, stress, fatigue and hypacusia
(hearing problems). Prolonged machine
use exposes the user to vibrations that can
generate “white finger phenomenon”
(Raynaudʼs Phenomenon), carpal tunnel
syndrome and similar disturbances. This
can lead to a lack of sensitivity in the hands
making it difficult to notice changes in
temperature as well as causing numbness.
When using the machine regularly or in
continuation, the user must control the
condition of his hands very carefully. If any
of the symptoms described above appear,
consult a doctor immediately.
6. Health precautions – Chemical
agents. Avoid all chain oil contact with skin
and eyes.
