– do not direct the silencer and therefore the
exhaust fumes towards inflammable materi-
als.
– watch out for flying debris caused by the mo-
vement of the chain, especially when it hits
obstacles or foreign objects.
5) Do not change the engine tuning and do not
rev the engine excessively at maximum speed.
6) Do not strain the machine too much and do not
use a small chain-saw for heavy-duty sawing. If
you use the right machine, you will reduce the risk
of hazards and improve the quality of your work.
7) Check that when the machine is running idle,
there is no movement of the chain and, after pres-
sing the throttle trigger, the engine quickly returns
to minimum speed.
8) Take care not to hit the bar hard against foreign
objects or flying debris caused by the movement
of the chain.
9) Stop the engine:
– whenever you leave the machine unatten-
ded;
– before refuelling.
10) Stop the engine and disconnect the spark
plug cable:
– before cleaning, checking or working on the
machine;
– after striking a foreign object. Inspect the ma-
chine for any damage and make repairs be-
fore restarting it again;
– if the machine begins to vibrate abnormally
(Immediately look for the cause of the vibrati-
ons and take to a specialised centre for che-
cking).
– when the machine is not in use.
11) Avoid exposure to dust and sawdust produced
by the chain when cutting.
D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tightly faste-
ned to be sure the equipment is in safe working
condition. Routine maintenance is essential for
safety and for maintaining a high performance
level.
2) Do not store the machine with fuel in the tank
in an area where the fuel vapours could reach an
open flame, a spark or a strong heat source.
3) Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
4) To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine, ex-
haust silencer and fuel storage area free from
sawdust, branches, leaves, or excessive grease;
34
never leave containers with the cut debris inside
the storage area.
5) If the fuel tank has to be emptied, this
should be done outdoors once the engine has
cooled down.
6) Wear gloves whenever working with the cutting
equipment.
7) Make sure the chain is well sharpened. Any
work on the chain and bar requires specific expe-
rience and special tools. For safety purposes, we
recommend you contact your dealer to ensure tha
the work is done correctly.
8) For safety reasons, never use the machine
with worn or damaged parts. Damaged must
be bereplaced and never repaired. Only use
original spare parts. Parts that are not of the
same quality can seriously damage the equip-
ment and compromise safety.
9) Before putting the machine away, check you
have removed wrenches or tools used for main-
tenance.
10) Store the machine out of the reach of children!
E) TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING
1) Whenever the machine is to be handled or
transported you must:
– turn off the engine, wait for the chain to stop
and disconnect the spark plug cap;
– mount the bar cover;
– only hold the machine using the handgrips
and position the bar in the opposite direction
to that used during operation.
2) When using a vehicle to transport the machine,
position it so that it can cause no danger to per-
sons and fasten it firmly in place to avoid it from
tipping over, which may cause damage or fuel
spillage.
F) CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS:
Keep all parts of the body away from the
sawchain when the chain saw is opera-
ting. Before you start the chain saw, make
sure the saw chain is not contacting any-
thing. A moment of inattention while opera-
ting chain saws may cause entanglement of
your clothing or body with the saw chain.
Always hold the chain saw with your right
hand on the rear handle and your left hand
on the front handle. Holding the chain saw
with a reversed hand configuration increases
the risk of personal injury and should never
be done.
