carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
# For safety reasons, the socket used to power
the unit should be backed up by a residual
current device-operated (FI) circuitbreaker
which can be tripped by a max. current of
30mA.
# Check damaged parts. Before further use
of your chainsaw, a guard or other part that
is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine whether it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any
other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorised
service agent. Do not use your chainsaw if the
switch does not turn it on and off.
# Maximum attention is urged towards any
possible dangers, warning signs of which
may not be heard because of the noise of the
equipment.
# Eliminate any hazards from the work zone
and check that there are no hazards such as
trees in dangerous positions, roads, railways
or electric cables.
# Use the ELECTRIC CHAINSAW only for
cutting wood.
Do NOT use the equipment for any other
purpose
# Prolonged use of the equipment may cause
disturbances to blood circulation in the hands
(white finger disease) attributable to the vibra-
tions.
Factors that influence the appearance of this
condition include the following:
- Personal predisposition of the operator to
reduced blood flow in the hands.
- Use of the equipment in cold conditions (warm
gloves are therefore recommended).
- Long periods of uninterrupted use (use at
intervals is recommended).
- It is recommended that a doctor be consulted
28
in the event of tingling or numbness.
# DANGER FROM KICKBACKS
Kickbacks can cause lethal wounds.
In a kickback, the chainsaw is thrown
violently against the operator.
This reaction may occur in the fol
lowing cases.
1) Start of the cut with the point of the bar.
2) Accidental contact with other branches,
trunks, solid bodies, or metalwork.
3) Cut with the top part of the bar.
- Keep the spike (Fig.11 ) against
the wood while cutting.
- Cut with the chain sharp and taught.
- Into a cut that has already been started, insert
the chain at top speed and very attentively.
- Extract the bar from the cut only with the chain
in movement.
# The chainsaw must be held with the left
hand on the front handle and the right on
the rear handle (this applies to left handed
people, too).
The safety devices have been de-
signed to function with the hands
in those positions.
Your chainsaw is provided with the follow-
ing safety devices.
# THROTTLE TRIGGER LOOK-OUT (fig. 1
, det. 2) prevents accidental operation of the
throttle trigger.
# THROTTLE TRIGGER DANGER (fig. 1 , det.
3): Warning. The cutting chain may continue to
rotate for a certain time after the throttle trigger
has been released.
# SAFETY CHAIN BRAKE (fig. 1 , det. 10)
Your chainsaw is provided with a safety chain
brake which can stop the chain in a fraction of
a second (in the event of a kickback).
# On each occasion, before use check that
all the safety devices function perfectly.
