D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tightly fastened to be

sure the equipment is in safe working condition. Routine

maintenance is essential for safety and for maintain-

ing a high performance level.

2) Do not store the machine with fuel in the tank in an

area where the fuel vapours could reach an open ame,

a spark or a strong heat source.

3) Allow the engine to cool before storing in any en-

closure.

4) To reduce re hazards, keep the engine, ex haust si-

lencer and fuel storage area free from saw dust, branches,

leaves, or excessive grease; ne ver leave containers with

the cut debris inside the storage area.

5) If the fuel tank has to be emptied, thisshould be done

outdoors once the engine hascooled down.

6) If the fuel tank has to be emptied, this should be

done outdoors once the engine has cooled down.

7) Make sure the chain is well sharpened. Any work

on the chain and bar require specic experience and

special tools. For safety purposes, we recommend you

contact your dealer to ensure work is done correctly.

8) For safety reasons, never use the machine with

worn or damaged parts. Damaged parts are to be

replaced and never repaired. Only u se original spare

parts. Parts that are not of the sa me quality can seriously

damage the equipment and compromise safety.

9) Before putting the machine away, check you have

removed wrenches or tools used for maintenance.

10) Store the machine out of the reach of children!

E) TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING

1) Whenever the machine is to be handled or tran sported

you must:

– turn o the engine, wait for the chain to stop and discon-

nect the spark plug cap;

– mount the bar cover;

– only hold the machine using the handgrips and position

the bar in the opposite direction to that used during

operation.

2) When using a vehicle to transport the machine, posi-

tion it so that it can cause no danger to persons and fasten

it rmly in place to avoid it from tipping over, which may

cause damage or fuel spillage.

F) RESIDUAL RISKS

• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain

when the chain saw is operating. Before you start

the chain saw, make sure the saw chain is not

contacting anything. A moment of inattention while

operating chain saws may cause entanglement of your

clothing or body with the saw chain.

• When working with two hands, the right hand must

always hold the rear grip and the left hand the

front grip. Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand

conguration increases the risk of personal injury and

should never be done.

• Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Fur-

ther protective equipment for head, hands, legs

and feet is recommended. Adequate protective cloth-

ing will reduce personal injury by ying debris or acci-

dental contact with the saw chain.

• When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert

for spring back. When the tension in the wood bres is

released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator

and/or throw the chain saw out of control.

• Use extreme caution when cutting brush and sap-

lings. The slender material may catch the saw chain

and be whipped toward you or pull you o balance.

• Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the

chain saw switched o and away from your body.

When transporting or storing the chain saw always

t the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chain

saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with

the moving saw chain.

• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tension-

ing and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned

or lubricated chain may either break or increase the

chance for kickback.

• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and

grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss

of control.

• This machine’s starter u nit generates an average

sized electromagnetic eld, but it is not however

possible to exclude the possibility of interference on

any active or passive medical devices that operators

may be wearing; this could be risky for their health con-

ditions. All those using medical devices should always

consult their GP, or the device manufacturer, before

using this machine.

G) CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION

OF KICKBACK:

Take special care in slippery conditions (wet ground or

snow) and on rough or overgrown terrain. Beware of

hidden obstacles such as cut tree trunks, roots, holes

and ditches to avoid stumbling. Be extremely cautious

when working on slopes or uneven ground. Never use the

chain-saw with one hand. Using one hand makes it more

dicult to control kickback and prevent the bar or chain

from skating or bouncing along a limb or log.

Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide

bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and

pinches the saw chain in the cut.

Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse

reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the

operator.

Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may

push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.

Either of these reactions may cause you to loose control

of the saw which could result in serious personal injury.

Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into

your saw.

As a chain saw user, you should take several steps to

keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect op-

erating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by

taking proper precautions as given below:

• Hold the saw rmly, with the thumbs and ngers

around the chain saw grips, and position your

body and arms so that you can resist the force of

a kickback. Kickback forces can be controlled by the

operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go

of the chain saw.

• Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder

height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and

enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected

situations.

• Only use replacement bars and chains specied

by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and

chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.

• Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and main-

tenance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing

the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
