English
Whilst cutting, ensure that the tip of the bar does not
come into contact with any trunks or other obstacles.
Cut with the machine at full throttle. Remove the
machine from the trunk when the chain is still in
movement.
Pay attention when cutting wood that splits easily.
Wood splinters could be propelled in any direction.
Risk of corporal damage therefore exists.
Never be on top of the branch that you are cutting.
Maintain the chain always well sharpened. Sharpen as
described in this manual.
If you carry out several cuts without letting go of the
machine, always turn off the machine between cuts.
Do not cut with the tip
of the bar. There is a
high risk of rebound and
kick back and therefore
you should never cut with
the tip of the bar.
Always regulate the machine on a plain and stable
surface.
Do not use accessories not recommended by the
manufacturer as these could cause severe damage to
the user, to other people nearby and to the machine.
Never let the machine drop and never try to stop the
chain by closing in on a piece of wood or any other object.
When cutting, place
the claw in such a
way that it grips the
trunk.

7.1. HOLDING THE MACHINE
Whilst you work,
always hold the
machine firmly with
both hands and by
the handles provided to this effect.
Hold the front handle with your left hand and the
back handle with your right hand whether right or left
handed.
Attention!: So as to reduce the risk of loss of control
and possible damages (that could be mortal) to
the user or those surrounding him, never use the
machine one handed.
7.2. SHARPENING THE CHAIN
The chain loses its sharpness whilst working. If you
observe any of the following symptons it is time to
sharpen the machines chain:
- More effort is needed to be able to cut.
- The cut is not straight.
- Vibrations increase.
- When cutting, instead of the log splitting, you see
small shavings.
To sharpen the chain follow instruction in point 8.2
sharpening the chain.
7.3. CUTTING WITH THE MACHINE
We recommend that you first train cutting small
branches in an easy position so as to achieve
expereience before moving onto more complicated
cutting techniques.
Always follow all security norms described in this
manual.
