CHECKING THE CHAIN TENSION
WARNING!
Never work with the chain
loose, as it can be hazardous if the chain slips
out of its guides.
CHECKING THE OIL DELIVERY
IMPORTANT
Never use the machine with-
out lubrication! The oil tank may get almost empty
every time the fuel runs out. Make sure you top up
the oil tank every time you refuel the chain-saw.
WARNING!
Make sure the bar and the
chain are in place when you check the oil de-
livery.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND CUTTING
TECHNIQUES
-
WARNING!
The machine must always
be rmly held in both hands, with the left hand
on the front handgrip and the right hand on
the rear handgrip, even if the operator is left-
handed.
WARNING!
Stop the engine immedi-
ately if the chain stops during sawing. Beware
of kickback, which can occur if the bar con-
tacts an obstacle.
Kickback occurs when the tip of the chain
comes in contact with an object or when the
wood contracts and jams the chain during
sawing.
This contact with the tip of the chain can cause
a rapid backward motion, pushing the guide
bar up and towards the operator. This also
happens when the chain is jammed along the
upper part of the bar. In both cases, kickback
can cause the operator to lose control of the
chain-saw, leading to serious consequences.
• Delimbing (Fig. 13)
WARNING!
Make sure there is nothing
or nobody in the area where the branches will
fall.
• Felling (Fig. 14)
WARNING!
When felling on slopes,
always stand uphill from the tree and check
that the felled trunk cannot cause damage if it
rolls down the hill.
