Before starting each job:
-
check manually that the front hand guard releases both forwards and
backwards.
-
put the chain saw on a safe surface.
-
take with both hands.

Periodically take off the sprocket cover (fig.3 item 19) to remove shavings
and sawdust.
MAINTENANCE
DANGER!! Do not carry out any checking, maintenance and repair
operations with the engine running.
Chain-maintenance and sharpening
-
If the chain is correctly sharpened, using the chain saw will be effortless,
a better cutting performance will be achieved, and no excessive wear
and tear of the mechanical parts and of the guide bar will occur.
-
Before sharpening, the chain must be taut by means of the chain
tensioner (fig.13) see chapter ASSEMBLY- "INSTALLING THE GUIDE
BAR AND CHAIN".
-
After sharpening, slacken the chain by following the installation
instructions.
-
Use a round file (specially designed for chains) with a 5/32" (4.0 mm)
diameter, fig.41 item 1.
