Operation Manual

During the first period of use
(or after replacing the chain), it must be checked
more frequently due to settling of the chain.
Never work with the chain
loose, as it can be hazardous if the chain slips
out of its guides.
To adjust the chain tension, follow the instructions
in Chapter 5.5.
• Checking the oil delivery
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.
Make sure the bar and the
chain are in place when you check the oil de-
livery.
Start the engine, keep it running at medium power
and check if the chain oil is delivered as shown in
the figure (Fig. 12).
You can adjust the chain oil flow using a screw-
driver on the adjuster screw (1 or 1a) of the oiler,
which is on the bottom of the machine (Fig. 12).
2. DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND CUTTING
TECHNIQUES
Before felling or delimbing for the first time, practise
sawing logs on the ground or on trestles, so that
you can get familiar with the machine and the most
suitable sawing techniques.
When running, the ma-
chine must always be firmly 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.

Always remember that an in-
correctly used chain-saw may disturb others and
have a serious impact on the environment.
To respect people and the environment:
– Avoid using the machine in environments or at
times of the day when it may disturb others.
– Scrupulously comply with local regulations and
provisions for the disposal of waste materials
after sawing.
– Scrupulously comply with local regulations and
provisions for the disposal of oils, damaged parts
or any elements which have a strong impact on
the environment.
– A certain amount of chain lubricating oil is rele-
ased into the environment when the machine is
running, so only use biodegradable oils made
specifically for this use.
– To avoid the risk of fire, do not leave the machi-
ne with the engine hot on leaves or dry grass.
Always wear suitable clo-
thing when using the machine. Your dealer
can provide you with all the information on
the most suitable accident-prevention devices
to guarantee your safety. Wear anti-vibration
gloves. All the above-mentioned precautions
do not however guarantee the prevention of
certain risks – i.e. Raynaud’s phenomenon or
Carpal tunnel syndrome. For operators who
use this machine for prolonged periods, it is
therefore recommended to have periodic
check-ups on the hands and fingers.
If any of the above mentioned symptoms
should appear, please contact a physician im-
mediately.
It takes specific training
to use the machine for felling and delimbing.
1. CHECKS DURING WORK
• Checking the chain tension
The chain tends to stretch gradually as you work,
so you need to check its tension frequently.
