6.4 WORKING
Before felling or delimbing for the first time, make
sure:
– to have been specifically trained to use this
type of equipment;
– to have carefully read the safety regulations
and user instructions contained in this
manual;
– you practise first on logs on the ground or
attached to trestles, in order to get familiar
with the machine and the most suitable
cutting techniques.
To use the machine proceed as follows:
• Always disengage the chain brake, pulling the
lever towards you before using the throttle.
• The machine must always be firmly held in both
hands, with the left hand on the front hand grip
and the right hand on the rear hand grip, even if
the operator is left-handed.
Stop the machine immediately if the
chain stops during sawing.
NOTE During use, the battery is protected
against total drainage with a protective device
that switches off the machine and stops it from
working.
NOTE If the chainsaw stops working during the
cutting, wait 15mins to cool down the machine,
then re-start it.
6.4.1 Checks to be conducted whilst
working
6.4.1.a Checking the chain tension
The chain tends to stretch gradually as you work,
so you need to check its tension frequently (par.
6.1.3).
6.4.1.b Checking the oil delivery
IMPORTANT Never use the machine without
lubrication!
