emissions and vibrations. Consequently,
it is necessary to take preventive steps to
eliminate possible damage due to high levels
of noise and stress from vibration. Maintain
the machine well, wear ear protection
devices and take breaks whilst working.
Storage
• Do not store the machine with fuel in the tank
in an area where fuel vapours could reach a
naked light, a spark or a strong heat source.
• To reduce fire risks, do not leave
containers with debris inside a room.

2.5 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Safeguarding the environment must be a relevant
and priority aspect of machine use, of benefit to
the community and the environment we live in.
• Avoid being a disturbance to the
neighbourhood. Use this machine at
reasonable times of the day only (not
early morning or late evening when the
noise could cause disturbance).
• A certain amount of chain lubricating oil
is released into the environment when
the machine is running, so only use
biodegradable oils made specifically for
this use. Use of a mineral oil or engine oil
causes serious damage to the environment.
• Adhere strictly to the local regulations
governing the disposal of packaging, oil,
fuel, filters, damaged parts or any other
element which may have an impact on
the environment; this waste should not be
disposed of along with standard household
waste, but must be disposed of separately
and sent to special waste disposal
facilities for handling and recycling.
• Comply with local regulations for
the disposal of waste materials
• When the machine is withdrawn from service,
do not dispose of it in the environment,
but take it to a waste disposal facility in
accordance with the local regulations in force.

3. GETTING TO KNOW THE MACHINE

3.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
AND PLANNED USE
This machine is a forestry tool and precisely
a chainsaw designed for forestry work.
The machine is essentially composed of a
2-stroke internal combustion engine, fuelled
by an air-cooled oil-petrol mix, and a guide
bar that drives the power from the engine to
the toothed chain that acts as a fully fledged
saw. The movement is transmitted from the
engine to the chain by a centrifugal clutch
that prevents the chain from moving when
the engine is running at minimum speed.
The operator is able to operate the machine with
two hands, using the front and rear hand grips,
and use the main controls, always remaining
at a safe distance from the cutting means.

3.1.1 Intended use

This machine was designed
and manufactured for:
– felling, bucking and delimbing trees
with dimensions suitable for the length
of the guide bar or wooden objects
with the same characteristics;
– use by one operator.

3.1.2 Improper use

Any other usage not in keeping with the above-
mentioned ones may be hazardous and harm
persons and/or damage things. Examples of
improper use may include, but are not limited to:
– trimming hedges;
– carving operations;
– sectioning pallets, crates and
various packing materials;
– sectioning furniture or other materials with
nails, screws or other metal components;
– butchering meat;
– using the machine to cut materials
other than wood (plastic materials,
building materials);
– using the machine to lift,
move or split objects;
– using the machine while
fastened to fixed supports;
– using cutting means other than those
found in the "Technical Data" table.
Serious injury and wound hazard.
– use of the machine by more
than one person.
IMPORTANT Improper use of the machine
will invalidate the warranty, relieve the
Manufacturer from all liability, and the user
will consequently be liable for all and any
damage or injury to himself or others.
