USING THE MACHINE
you with all the information on the most
suitable accident­prevention devices to
guarantee your safety. Wear anti­vibration
gloves. All the above­mentioned precau­
tions do not however guarantee the pre­
vention of certain risks – i.e. Raynaud's
phenomenon or Carpal tunnel syndrome.
For operators who use this machine for
prolonged periods, it is therefore recom­
mended to have periodic check­ups on
the hands and fingers.
If any of the above mentioned symptoms
should appear, please contact a physi­
cian immediately.
5) This machine's electrical system gener­
ates an average sized electromagnetic
field, but it is not however possible to ex­
clude the possibility of interference on
any active or passive medical devices that
operators may be wearing; this could be
risky for their health conditions. All those
using medical devices should always con­
sult their GP, or the device manufacturer,
before using this machine.
6) Mow only in daylight or good artificial
light.
7) Take utmost care when working near me­
tal fences
8) Keep the chain away from the electric ca­
ble. Use the cable clamp to prevent the
extension lead from disconnecting acci­
dentally. Make sure it is connected to the
socket without being forced. Never touch
a live electric cable if it is poorly insu­
lated. If the extension lead gets damaged
during use, do not touch the cable and
unplug the extension lead immediately.
9) Take care not to hit the bar hard against
foreign objects or flying debris caused by
the movement of the chain.
10) Stop the engine and unplug the machine
from the mains:
– whenever you leave the machine unat­
tended;
– before cleaning, checking or servicing
the machine;
– after striking a foreign object. Inspect
the machine for any damage and make
repairs before restarting it again;
– if the machine begins to abnormally vi­
brate (Immediate look for the cause of
the vibrations and take for necessary
controls at a Specialised Centre).
– when the machine is not in use.
IMPORTANT
­ Always­ remember­ that­ an­
incorrectly­ used­ electric­ chain-saw­ may­ disturb­
others and have a serious impact on the environ­
ment.
To respect people and the environment:
– Avoid using the machine in environments or at
times­of­the­day­when­it­may­disturb­others.
–­ ­ S crupulously­comply­with­local­regulations­and­
provisions­ for­ the­ disposal­ of­ waste­ materials­

–­ ­ S crupulously­comply­with­local­regulations­and­
provisions for the disposal of oils, damaged
parts­or­any­elements­which­have­a­strong­im­
pact on the environment.
– A certain amount of chain lubricating oil is re le­
ased­into­the­environment­when­the­machine­is­

WARNING!
use the machine for felling and delimbing.
1. CHECKS DURING WORK
• Checking the chain tension
The chain tends to stretch gradually as you work,
so you need to check its tension frequently.

WARNING!
loose, as it can be hazardous if the chain slips
out of its guides.
To adjust the chain tension, follow the instructions
in Chapter 5.2.
• Cut-off during work
Your machine is designed with an overload protec-
tion with circuit breaker. If the chain saw is clogged
(e.g. blocking of the cutting means, chain teeth
jammed, overload cutting) during the cutting op-
eration, the overload circuit breaker will cut the
mains power supply automatically to protect your
chain saw.
