6.4 WORKING

Before felling or delimbing for
the first time, make sure:
– to have been specifically trained
to use this type of equipment;
– to have carefully read the safety
regulations and user instructions
contained in this manual;
– you practise first on logs on the ground
or attached to trestles, in order to
get familiar with the machine and the
most suitable cutting techniques.
To use the machine proceed as follows:
• Always disengage the chain brake, pulling the
lever towards you before using the throttle.
• The machine must always be firmly held in
both hands, with the left hand on the front
hand grip and the right hand on the rear hand
grip, even if the operator is left-handed.
Stop the machine immediately
if the chain stops during sawing.
NOTE During use, the battery is
protected against total drainage with a
protective device that switches off the
machine and stops it from working.
