have properly ventilated the area and be sure that
ventilation is enough that it does not happen again.
A firm grip will help to reduce kickback and
will help to keep the tool under control.
Take extreme care when cutting branches or
young trees, small splinters could get caught in the
chain and then be sent flying in the air, hitting or
unbalancing you.
When cutting a branch which is under tension, pay
special attention to the possibility of the branch
bouncing back, in order to avoid being hit by the
branch when the tension is freed.
Check the tree to ensure there are no dead branches
that can fall whilst you are working.
To avoid possible accidents, make sure the cutting
area is kept clear of obstacles at all times.
When using the chainsaw, do not allow the tip of the
bar to touch any other tree trunk or obstacle that may
be found near the area where the cutting is being
carried out.
Cutting with the engine at high revolutions.
Keep the chain sharpened by following the instructions
contained in this manual.

temperatures during the starting up or
the operating of the engine such as, for
example, the exhaust silencer, the high voltage cable
or the spark plug.
Always carry out adjustments with the machine on a
flat and clear surface.
Do not use any accessory with the machine, apart
from those recommended by our company, as this
could result in serious injury to both the operator
of the machine and the people near. It could also
damage the machine.
