3. GETTING TO KNOW THE MACHINE
3.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
AND PLANNED USE
This machine is a forestry tool and
precisely a battery powered chain saw.
The machine is essentially composed of
a battery powered motor and a guide bar
that takes the power from the battery to the
motor which drives the cutting chain.
The operator is able to operate the
machine with two hands, using the front
and rear handgrips, and can use the
main controls, always remaining at a safe
distance from the cutting means.
3.1.1 Intended use
This machine was designed
and manufactured for:
– felling, bucking and delimbing trees
with dimensions suitable for the length
of the guide bar or wooden objects
with the same characteristics;
– use by one operator.
3.1.2 Improper use
Any other usage not in keeping with the above-
mentioned ones may be hazardous and harm
persons and/or cause damage. Examples of
improper use may include, but are not limited to:
– trimming hedges;
– carving operations;
– sectioning pallets, crates and
various packing materials;
– sectioning furniture or other materials with
nails, screws or other metal components;
– butchering meat;
– using the machine to cut materials
other than wood (plastic materials,
building materials);
– using the machine to lift,
move or split objects;
– using the machine while
fastened to fixed supports;
– using cutting means other than those
found in the "Technical Data" table.
Serious injury and wound hazard.
– use of the machine by more
than one person.
IMPORTANT Improper use of the machine
will invalidate the warranty, relieve the
Manufacturer from all liability, and the user
will consequently be liable for all and any
damage or injury to himself or others.
3.1.3 User types
This machine is intended for use by
consumers, i.e. non-professional operators.
The machine is intended for "DIY" use only.
3.2 SAFETY SIGNS
The machine has various symbols on it
(fig. 2). They are used to remind the operator
of the behaviour to follow to use it with
the necessary attention and caution.
Meaning of symbols:
Warning! Read the instructions
before operating the machine.
Warning! Failure to use this
machine correctly can be
hazardous for oneself and others
Danger! Make sure the chain does
not come into contact with foreign
bodies/obstacles.

chain comes into contact
with an obstacle
Danger! Always use
hearing protectors.
Danger! Wear eye protections.
Danger! Do not leave the machine
in the rain (or in damp conditions)

saw in the direction of the
operator. Always work in complete
safety. Use chains with safety
links that limit kickback.
