2) Accidental contact with other branches,
trunks, solid bodies, or metalwork.
3) Cut with the top part of the bar.

wood while cutting.

- Into a cut that has already been started,
insert the chain at top speed and very at-
tentively.
- Extract the bar from the cut only with the
chain in movement.
GB | Operating Instructions
SAFETY DEVICES ON THE CHAINSAW
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 designed
to function with the hands in those posi-
tions.
Your chainsaw is provided with the following safety
devices.
B1 - THROTTLE TRIGGER LOOKOUT (see
Fig.1 part.9) prevents accidental operation of
the throttle trigger.
THROTTLE TRIGGER (Fig.1 part.10). DAN-
GER: Warning. The cutting chain may contin-
ue to rotate for a certain time after the throttle
trigger has been released.
B2 – STOP SWITCH (Fig.1 part.12): With the
lever down [STOP
ped.
B3 - SAFETY CHAIN BRAKE: Your chainsaw
is provided with a safety chain brake (Fig. 1
part. 7) which can stop the chain in a fraction
of a second (in the event of a kickback).
B4 - CHAIN CATCHER (Fig. 1 part.2). This
device prevents the chain from being thrown
in the event of it breaking (or coming out of
the bar) during operation.
On each occasion, before use check that
all the safety devices function perfectly.
If they do not, do not use the chainsaw and
contact a qualified service centre for the
repair. Read chapter 8.3 "CHAIN BRAKE".
