6. Health precautions – Chemical agents. Avoid all

chain oil contact with skin and eyes.

7. Health precautions - Electricity. All extension

cords, plugs, and electricity lines must be

homologated, to standard and in compliance with

current regulations. Make sure that the main line to

which the machine is connected is equipped with a

residual current device (RCD) with a current capacity

no higher than 30mA. Make sure that all cables,

plugs, and the residual current device are in correct

working condition, that they comply with required

characteristics, are mounted or hooked up correctly

and are perfectly clean. Never disconnect the

machine from the main line by pulling on the cable.

Never use or store the machine and extension cord in

damp environments. If the cable is damaged in any

way, disconnect immediately from the main line

socket, taking great care not to touch any exposed

wires. Avoid all contact with grounded surfaces when

using the machine (metal piping, cables, lightening

conductors, etc). When working outdoors, all

extension cords attached to the machine must be

homologated for use out of doors. Avoid tying any

knots in electric cables and never use rolled up

extension cords.

8. Health precautions - Heat. During use pinion

and chain reach very high temperatures, take care

not to touch these parts while hot.

9. Health precautions – Sharp or moving

parts. Never touch the chain except when the

machine is switched off; in any case, always take

great care since the chain is very sharp and can cut

even when stopped. Remember that the chain will

continue to rotate for a short time after the machine

has been switched off.

10. Work area. Control the whole work area carefully

to check for any danger source (e.g.: roads, paths,

electric cables, dangerous trees, etc) Take special

care when working on sloping ground. Cluttered

areas can lead to injuries: before using the machine

remove any stones, glass, cables, metal components,

cans, bottles and any other foreign matter from the

work area. Also take into consideration any danger

risks that may not be noticed because of machine

noise. Make sure that a second person is within

calling distance in the case of accident. When

working in isolated areas, always carry a first aid kit

and make sure you have advised others of your exact

location.

11. Work operations

Never start work with the machine before

performing the following: remove the giude bar

cover guard; make sure that a sufficient amount of oil

has reached the chain; make sure you have a

planned retreat path from falling trees (when cutting

trees).

It is strictly forbidden to use the machine for:

moving branches or roots; in cases where there is

any danger that the chain may come into contact with

the ground, electric protection, or piled wood; for

cutting very thin branches or bushes (these will break

easily and can whip bystanders or the user causing

serious injury); for felling trees without adequate

training and equipment (correct ropes, hooks, etc);

starting sawing operations with the blade already

engaged in a previous groove or slit; using the

machine while standing on stepladders or other

unstable surfaces; using the machine in extreme

weather conditions, inclement weather, with reduced

visibility and insufficient lighting (very low

temperatures, very hot damp climates, fog, rain, wind,

at night, etc.); using the machine with arms stretched:

work must always be performed in a manner to

ensure that the user can react immediately to

unexpected conditions; it is forbidden to leave the

machine unguarded; permitting others to touch the

cable, extension cord , or the machine; forcing the

machine during cutting action (this can lead to motor

damage or loss of control over the machine); blocking

the switch or the switch block with adhesive tape or

other materials.

Always remember to: cut wood only (never cut

plastic, metal, or other materials); make sure that the

switch is NOT turned ON before inserting the plug in

the socket or releasing the chain brake lever; make

sure that the chain is not in contact with any objects

at the moment the switch is turned ON; Keep all

bystanders and animals well clear of the work area

(where necessary, fence off the area and use

warning signs) at a minimum distance of 2.5 m times

the trunk height; in any case no less than ten meters.

Wherever possible use a vice or a saw horse to block

the wood to be cut; always hold the machine as

follows: Grip the front handle with the left hand and

the rear handle with the right hand, closing the thumb

and other fingers firmly around the handle (during

use, the machine could slide forwards or backwards,

or create a reverse action, provoking a kickback

reaction: holding the machine correctly reduces the

risk of loosing control over the tool); Always make
