Pole Chain Saw - Intended Use; Intended Use; Transporting The Power Tool - IKRA GMTI 33 Instrucciones De Manejo

To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, keep the area
around the muffler clean. Remove excess lubricant and
all debris such as pine needles, branches or leaves. Let
the engine cool down sitting on concrete, metal, bare
ground or solid wood (e.g. the trunk of a felled tree) away
from any combustible substances.
Never modify your muffler. The muffler could be damaged
and cause an increase in heat radiation or sparks, there-
by increasing the risk of fire and burn injury. You may also
permanently damage the engine.
POLE CHAIN SAW

Intended use

The pole chain saw is intended for removing branches
from trees. It is not suitable for extensive sawing work
and felling trees or for the sawing of materials other
than wood. Please observe that our machine was not
designed for use in commercial, technical or industrial
applications. We assume no liability if the machine is
used in commercial, technical or industrial applications
or for equivalent activities.
Residual risks:
Also when appropriate using the tool; it always remains a
certain residual risk which cannot be excluded. From the
kind and construction of the tool the following potential
endangerments can be derived:
- Contact with the unprotected sawing chain (cuts)
- Unexpected, sudden movement of the sawing sword
(cuts)
- Damage of the ears, if no prescribed protection of the
ears is carried
- Inhale from poisonous particle, exhaust gases of the
combustion engine
- Contact of gasoline on the skin
- Vibration. Warning: The actual existing vibration emis-
sion value during use of the machine can deviate from
the manual or the manufacturer specified. This can be
caused by the following factors, before or during each
of use should be considered:
- If the machine is used correctly
- If the method of cutting the material and how it is
processed correctly.
- The use of the machine state is in the regulatory
- Sharpness condition of cutting tool or cutting tool

Transporting the Power Tool

Warning!
This power tool should be carried only in a horizontal po-
sition. Grip the shaft in a manner that the machine is bal-
anced horizontally. Keep the hot muffler away from your
body and the cutting attachment behind you. Accidental
acceleration of the engine can cause the chain to rotate
and cause serious injuries.
Always switch off the engine and fit the scabbard over
the cutting attachment before transporting the power tool
over long distances. When transporting it in a vehicle,
properly secure it to prevent turnover, fuel spillage and
damage to the unit.
Before Starting
Take off the chain guard (scabbard) and inspect the chain
saw for proper condition and operation. (See the main-
tenance chart near the end of the instruction manuals.)
Always check your power tool for proper condition and
operation before starting, particularly the throttle trigger,
throttle trigger interlock, stop switch and cutting attach-
ment. The throttle trigger must move freely and always
spring back to the idle position. Never attempt to modify
the controls or safety devices.
Never operate your power tool if it is damaged, improp-
erly adjusted or maintained, or not completely or securely
assembled.
Keep the handles clean and dry at all times; it is particu-
larly important to keep them free of moisture, pitch, oil,
fuel mix, grease or resin in order for you to maintain a
firm grip and properly control your power tool. For proper
assembly of the bar and chain follow the procedure de-
scribed in the chapter "Mounting the Bar and Chain" of
your instruction manual.
Chain, guide bar and sprocket must match each other in
gauge and pitch.
Proper chain tension is extremely important. In order to
avoid improper setting, the tensioning procedure must be
followed as described in your manual. Always make sure
the hex nut(s) for the sprocket cover is (are) tightened
securely after tensioning the chain. Check chain tension
once more after having tightened the nut(s).
Never start the chain saw with the sprocket cover loose.
Adjust carrying harness and hand grip to suit your size
before starting work.
Starting
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injuries, start the en-
gine at least 10 feet (3 meters) from the fueling spot, out-
doors only.
For specific starting instructions, see the appropri-
ate section of your Engine manual (4. Engine). Proper
starting methods reduce the risk of injury.
