If you lose your stability or if you fall, let go of the
accelerator trigger straight away. Do not only rely on
all security measures of the machine.
Do not use this machine if you are tired, ill, or if you
are under the influence of drugs, medicines or alcohol.
Be extremely careful when using the machine after
it has been raining as the floor could be slippery and
you could slip.
Never cut above shoulder level.
Do not use the machine at night, when foggy or with
reduced visibility that does not allow you to see all the
working area clearly.
Lack of rest and fatigue can cause accidents and
damages.
Limit the usage of this machine to stints no longer
than 10 minutes and rest between 10 and 20 minutes
before using again.
Never let the machine out of your eyesight.
Do not allow anybody inside the working area. The
minimum perimeter of the working area is 15 m and
you must consider this a dangerous area.
If you hold the handles of the machine firmly, you will
reduce significantly the risk of kick backs and you will
incrase control of the machine.
Never use the machine when on top of a ladder, in a
tree or in any other unstable surface. Do not use the
chainsaw one handed.
Be careful when cutting small branches. These can
get tangled with the chain and can be propelled
unexpectedly towards you causing probable loss of
equilibrium.
If you cut a branch that is under tension be alert to a
possible rebound of the branch.
Verify the state of the tree prior to cutting to ensure
that dry branches will not fall off on top of you whilst
cutting.
Clean the work area and remove all obstacles that
could produce accidents.
Whilst cutting, ensure that the tip of the bar does not
come into contact with any trunks or other obstacles.
Cut with the machine at full throttle. Remove the
machine from the trunk when the chain is still in
movement.
Pay attention when cutting wood that splits easily.
Wood splinters could be propelled in any direction.
Risk of corporal damage therefore exists.
Never be on top of the branch that you are cutting.
Maintain the chain always well sharpened. Sharpen as
described in this manual.
If you carry out several cuts without letting go of the
machine, always turn off the machine between cuts.
Do not cut with the tip
of the bar. There is a
high risk of rebound and
kick back and therefore
you should never cut with
the tip of the bar.

When cutting, place
the claw in such a
way that it grips the
trunk.
