sure that the cable/ extension cord is kept behind the

user, controlling that it does not create a source of

danger for the user or for other persons, and check

that it cannot be damaged (by heat, sharp objects,

sharp edges, oil, etc); Always assume a stable

standing position on both legs; keep the handles dry

and clean; during use keep all body parts and

clothing well clear of the chain; turn off the switch,

wait until the chain has stopped turning, and activate

the chain brake lever before putting down the saw;

never attempt to cut at heights over shoulder height;

always handle the machine with the utmost care;

check that the oil level never drops below MIN level,

controlling frequently, before and during use; Always

remain on the left hand side of the machine during

use, and take great care if the bar needs to be

inserted in a previously cut slit; remove the bar from

the slit when the chain is still in rotation.

12. Transport and storage precautions. Each time

the work area is changed to another location,

disconnect the machine from the main line and

activate the chain brake lever. Mount the guide bar

cover guard each time before transporting or storage.

Always carry the machine by hand with the bar facing

backwards, or when transporting the machine in a

vehicle, always attach it securely to prevent damage.

Never carry the machine by the cable. After use,

store the machine in a dry, high place, far from heat

sources and out of reach of children.

13. Precautions against fire risk. Never use the

machine in areas where there are naked flames,

inflammable or potentially explosive materials.

14. Kickback reaction. The kickback reaction

consists of a violent upwards-reverse action of the

bar towards the user. This generally occurs if the

upper part of the bar nose (called the “kickback

danger zone”) comes into contact with some object,

or if the chain is blocked in the wood. The kickback

reaction is a very quick sudden motion along the bar

cutting plane (generally in an upward direction, but

this also depends on the machine position during

cutting action). Kickback can make the user loose

control of the machine provoking dangerous and

even mortal accidents (i.e: if the saw with the chain in

rotation is thrust back against the user). The chain

brake lever and other safety devices are not sufficient

to protect the user against injury: the user must be

well aware of the conditions that can provoke the

reaction, and prevent them by paying very close

attention according to experience, together with

prudent and correct machine handling (for example:

never cut several branches at a time because this

can cause accidental impact on the “kickback danger

zone”; never mount incorrect bars or chains; make

sure the chain is always sharp and sharpen

according to correct methods, because incorrect

sharpening can cause kickback; when choosing the

bar, remember that the smaller the nose radius, the

smaller the kickback danger zone).

C. SAFETY EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

1,3,6,8,12

SWITCH BLOCK

Your machine is equipped with a device (fig.1) that

when deactivated, stops the switch from being

pressed thus preventing accidental start-up.

CHAIN BRAKE ACTION ON SWITCH RELEASE

(for ES18 models only)

Your machine is equipped with a device that blocks

the chain immediately as soon as the switch is

released; If this device should not work at any time,

the machine must NOT be used, and must be taken

to an Authorised Service Centre.

FRONT HAND GUARD / CHAIN BRAKE LEVER

The front hand guard (fig.2) is designed to prevent

your left hand from coming into contact with the chain

(on condition that the machine is held correctly

according to instructions) . The front hand guard also

acts as a chain brake, including a device that blocks

the chain in a few fractions of a second in the case of

kickback. The chain brake is released when the front

hand guard is pulled backwards and blocked in

position (the chain is able to move). The chain brake

is activated when the front hand guard is pushed

forward (the chain is blocked).
