General Power Tool Safety Warnings
2) Electrical safety
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
The term ʻ“power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool .
1) Work area safety
electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk electric shock.
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use
of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
ENGLISH - 2

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
5. Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Chain saw safety warnings:
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries. Obtainable from a
workwear supplier.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
•
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.
•
•
Always hold the chain saw with your right
hand on the rear handle and your left hand on
the front handle. Holding the chain saw with a
reversed hand configuration increases the risk of
personal injury and should never be done.
Wear safety glasses and hearing protection.
Further protective equipment for head, hands,
legs and feet is recommended. Adequate
protective clothing will reduce personal injury by
flying debris or accidental contact with the saw
chain. Obtainable from a workwear supplier.
•
•
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree.
Operation of chain saw while up a tree may result
in personal injury.
Always keep proper footing and operate the
chain saw only when standing on fixed,
secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable
surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of
balance or control of the chain saw.
e) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
4) Power tool use and care
•
When cutting a limb that is under tension be
alert for spring back. When the tension in the
wood fibres is released the spring loaded limb
may strike the operator and/or throw the chain
saw out of control.
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
•
•
Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings. The slender material may catch the
saw chain and be whipped forward toward you or
pull you off balance.
Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the
chain saw switched off and away from your
body. When transporting or storing the chain
saw always fit 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
tensioning and changing accessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may
either break or increase the chance for kickback.
•
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
•
•
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery
causing loss of control.
Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for
purposes not intended. For example: do not
use chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry or
non-wood building materials. Use of the chain
saw for operations different than intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
5. Clothing. (fig B1) When using this machine the
user must wear the following approved individual
protective clothing : close-fitting protective
clothing, safety boots with non-slip soles, crush-
proof toe protectors and cut-proof protection, cut-
proof vibration-proof gloves, protective goggles or
safety visor, ear protection muffs and helmet (if
there is any danger of falling objects). Obtainable
from a workwear supplier
6. Health precautions – Vibrations and Noise
levels. Please be aware of noise restrictions in
the immediate area. Prolonged machine use
exposes the user to vibrations that can generate
“white finger phenomenon” (Raynaudʼs
Phenomenon), carpal tunnel syndrome and
similar disturbances.
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the
guide bar touches an object (Fig B3), 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 lose
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.
7. Health precautions – Chemical agents. Use oil
which is approved by the manufacturer.
Kickback is a result of tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below:
Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the chain saw handles, with both
hands on the saw and position your body and
arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
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
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement bars and chains may cause chain
breakage and/or kickback.
8. Health precautions - Heat. During use, sprocket and
chain reach very high temperatures, take care not to
touch these parts while hot.
Transport and storage precautions. (fig B2) Each
time the work area is changed to another location,
disconnect the machine from the mains supply 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.

Kickback reaction. (fig B3) 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” ) (see red marking on the Guide Bar)
comes into contact with some object, or if the chain
is blocked in the wood. Kickback can make the user
loose control of the machine provoking dangerous
and even fatal accidents. 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
Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.
Additional Safety Recommendations
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”
1. Manual use. All persons using this machine
must read the user manual completely with
extreme care. The user manual must be included
with the machine in the case of sale or loan to
another person.

kept behind the user, ensuring 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);
3. Extension cables and leads should only be used
if they are designed for outdoor use and comply
with H07 RN-F or IEC 60245 designation 66.
2
Use only 1.0mm size cable up to 40m in length
6. Position the cable so that it will not be caught on
maximum
branches and the like, during cutting.
7. Always switch off at the mains before
disconnecting any plug, cable connector or
extension cable.
C. SAFETY EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
SWITCH BLOCK
When the machine is used with the bar in horizontal
position, for example during tree felling, the chain
brake offers less protection.(fig.4).
Your machine is equipped with a device (fig.1A) that
when deactivated, stops the switch from being
pressed thus preventing accidental start-up.
N.B.: When the chain brake is activated, a safety
switch cuts off all current to the motor.
Releasing the chain brake whilst the switch
is held will start the product.
CHAIN BRAKE ACTION ON SWITCH RELEASE
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.
CHAIN CATCHER
This machine is equipped with a chain catcher (fig.5)
located under the sprocket. This mechanism is
designed to stop the backward chain movement in the
case of chain breaking or derailing. These situations
can be avoided by ensuring correct chain tension
(Refer to chapter “D. Assembly/disassembly”).
FRONT HAND GUARD / CHAIN BRAKE LEVER
The front hand guard (fig.1B) 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 stops the chain in less than 0.15 of a second in
the case of kickback. The chain brake is released
when the front hand guard is pulled backwards and
clicked in position (fig.2). The chain brake is
activated when the front hand guard is pushed
forward and the chain is stopped (fig.3). The chain
brake can be activated using the left wrist by
pushing forwards, or when the wrist comes into
contact with the front hand guard as a result of
kickback.
REAR HAND GUARD
This acts to protect (fig.6) the hand in the case of
chain breaking or derailing.

D. ASSEMBLY / DISASSEMBLY
BAR AND CHAIN ASSEMBLY
Take great care when assembling to ensure this is performed correctly.
Remove the plug from the power supply before working on the product.
1. Check that the chain brake is not activated. If so, deactivate it.
2a & 2b. Flip out the the bar retaining inner knob and rotate in an anti-clockwise direction to remove
the drive sprocket cover.
Wear Gloves.
3 Position the chain over the bar, starting at the nose sprocket, fitting it into the guide bar groove.
Ensure that the sharp side of the cutting teeth face in a forward direction on the upper part of the bar.(see
markings on the bar)
4. Mount the bar on the bar retaining screw ensuring it is as far back towards the drive sprocket as possible
Position the chain over the drive sprocket and pull the guide bar forward to pre-tension the chain.
5. Replace the drive sprocket cover and turn the bar retaining inner knob in a clockwise direction until
loosely tightened.
6 & 7. To tension the chain, turn the chain tensioner outer knob in a clockwise direction. Tension the chain
until the tension is correct. To check the tension, pull the chain away from the bar and ensure gap measures
approx 2-3mm. To reduce tension turn in an anti-clockwise direction. (when performing this operation, keep
the bar nose raised upwards)
8a & 8b. When the tension is correct turn the bar retaining inner knob in a clockwise direction until securely
tightened and flip back into position to secure.
Tensioning the chain too tightly will overload the motor and cause damage. Insufficient tension can provoke
chain derailing, whereas a chain tightened correctly provides the best cutting characteristics and prolonged
work life. Check the tension regularly because the chain length tends to stretch with use (especially when
the chain is new; after the first assembly, the chain tension must be checked after a few minutes machine
operation); in any case do not tighten the chain immediately after use, but wait until it cools down.
Warning:- The chain and guide bar can become very hot
E. START-UP AND STOPPING
Start-up: grip both handles firmly, release the chain
brake lever whilst ensuring hand is still on front
handle, press and maintain the switch block (fig E1)
pressed in, then press the switch (fig E2) (at this
point the switch block can be released).
Stopping: The machine will stop whenever the
switch is released or by activating the chain brake.
F. BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICATION
ATTENTION! Insufficient lubrication will provoke
chain breaking and can cause serious injury.
Refer to “Maintenance & Storage” for indications on
ensuring that the chain oil is sufficiently distributed.
Choice of chain oil
Filling oil tank
Use oil which is approved by the manufacturer.
Unscrew the oil tank cap, and fill the tank taking
care not to spill any oil (if this occurs clean the
machine carefully) and then screw the cap back on
tightly.
We advise the use of bio chain oil which is
biologically degradable.

G. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Chain sharpening
Before performing any maintenance or
cleaning, remove the plug from the mains.
Contact an Authorised Service Centre regarding
any problems with sharpening the chain.
ATTENTION! In cases where work
environments are particularly dirty or dusty, the
operations described must be performed more
frequently than mentioned in the instructions.
The chain needs to be correctly sharpened. A
wrongly sharpened chain can cause kickback
and a high risk of injury.
Before each use
If the chain does not cut correctly, or requires hard bar
pressure against the wood, and if the sawdust is very
fine, this is a sign that it is not sharpened correctly. If
the cutting action produces no sawdust, this means the
cutting edge has been worn completely and the chain
is pulverising the wood during cutting. A well-
sharpened chain crosses through the wood without
effort or pressure and produces large long wood
shavings.
Check that the chain oil pump functions correctly:
direct the bar towards a clear surface at a distance
of about 20 centimetres; after the machine has run
for about a minute, the surface should show clear
traces of oil (fig.1).
Check that excessive strength is not needed for
activating and deactivating the chain brake. Also
check that it is not activated too easily and that it is
not blocked. Then check chain brake function as
follows: release the chain brake, grip the machine
correctly and start up the machine, activate the
chain brake by pushing the front hand guard forward
with the left wrist or arm but without removing the
hand from the handle (fig.2). If the chain brake is
working correctly, the chain should be stopped
immediately.
The cutting side of the chain is composed of the cutting
link (fig.9) with a cutting tooth (fig.10) and a cutting limit
gauge (fig.11). The difference between these
determines the cutting depth; a file guide and a 4mm
diameter round file are needed to obtain good
sharpening results; Follow the instructions below:
Once the chain has been mounted and the tension is
correctly adjusted, and the chain brake is activated,
position the file guide perpendicular to the bar as
shown in the illustration (fig.12), filing the cutting teeth
at the angle shown (fig.13A & 13B), always working
from the interior towards the exterior, lessening the
pressure during the return stage (it is very important to
follow the instructions perfectly: excessive or
Check that the chain is sharpened correctly, in good
working condition and that the tension is correct. If
the chain is irregularly worn, or if the cutting teeth
are only 3 mm long, the chain must be replaced
(fig.3).
Clean the air vents regularly to prevent motor
insufficient sharpening angles or an incorrect file
diameter will increase the risk of kickback.) To obtain
higher precision on side angles, it is advisable to
position the file so that it exceeds the upper cutter by
about 0.5 mm. File all the teeth on one side first, then
turn the machine over and repeat the operation. Make
sure that after sharpening operations, all teeth are the
same length and that the height of the depth gauge is
0.6 mm lower than the upper cutter: check the height
using a proper template and file (with a flat file) all
protruding parts, rounding off the front part of the depth
gauge (fig.14), paying attention to not file the kickback
protection tooth (fig.15)
overheating (fig 4).
Check that the switch and switch block function
correctly (to be performed with the chain brake
released): press the switch and the switch block and
ensure that they return to idle position as soon as
they are released; check that it is impossible to
press the switch without activating the switch block.
Check that the chain catcher and the right hand
guard are in correct condition without any visible
faults such as damaged material.
Every 2-3 hours of use
Every 30 hours use.
Check the bar condition, if necessary clean the lubrication
holes (fig.5) and the guide grooves (fig.6) carefully; If the
groove is worn or shows signs of deep notching, it must be
replaced. Clean the drive sprocket regularly and check
that it has not been subject to excess wear (fig.7).
Lubricate the nose sprocket with bearing grease through
the hole shown in the illustration (fig.8).
Take the machine to the Authorised Service Centre
Storage/Transport
Allow the product to cool down and place the cover
over the bar and chain.
Store the product in a cool, dry, place and out of reach
of children. Do not store outdoors.
Ensure the oil does not leak out from the product.
H. CUTTING TECHNIQUES
(fig.1) When using the machine, prevent:
(fig.1) During machine use:
- cutting in conditions where the trunk could split during
cutting (wood under pressure, dry dead trees, etc):
sudden splitting can be very dangerous.
- the bar or the chain from becoming blocked in the
cutting notch: if this should occur, disconnect the
machine from the main electricity supply and try to raise
the trunk using an appropriate tool as a lever; do not
attempt to free the machine by shaking or pulling as this
could cause damage or injury.
- situations that can lead to kickback reactions.
- using the product above shoulder height
- cutting wood with foreign objects e.g. nails.
Never use the machine in earth or stones, this leads to
immediate wear of the chain.
- When cutting on sloping ground, always work uphill of the
trunk to avoid being hit if the trunk should roll downhill.
- When felling trees, always finish the job: a partially cut tree
could break and fall.
- At the end of each cutting operation the user will notice a
considerable change in the strength necessary for controlling
the machine. Great care must be taken not to loose control.
Below is a description of two different types of cutting
operation:
Cutting action by pulling the chain (from top to bottom)
(fig.2) can lead to dangerous sudden movement of the
machine towards the trunk with consequential loss of
control. Where possible, use the spiked bumper during
cutting operations.

Cutting action pushing the chain (from bottom to top)
(fig.3) will lead to the danger of a sudden movement of
the machine in the direction of the user, with the risk of
hitting the user, or an impact of the “kickback danger
zone” on the trunk resulting in strong kickback; extreme
care must be taken when cutting in this manner.
ATTENTION! During tree felling operations in critical
conditions, always remove ear protection immediately
after cutting operations to be able to listen for unusual
noises and any warning signals.
Preliminary cutting operations and identifying the
retreat path.
The safest method for using the machine, is to block the
log on a sawhorse, cutting from top to bottom, on the
portion outside the sawhorse. (fig.4)
Eliminate any branches that interfere with the job (fig.8),
starting from top to bottom, and then, always keeping the
trunk between the user and the machine eliminate the
more difficult branches afterwards, piece by piece.
Eliminate all plants that interfere with work operations and
control the area for possible obstacles (rocks, roots,
ditches,etc.) when planning the retreat path (to follow
during tree fall); Refer to the illustration (fig.9) for the
directions to be maintained (A. predicted tree fall
direction. B. Retreat path. C. Danger zone).
Spiked bumper use.
Where possible, use the spiked bumper to ensure safer
cutting action: plant it in the bark or surface of the trunk in
order to maintain more control over the machine.
Below are descriptions of typical cutting procedure to be
adopted for specific situations. However, these should be
assessed each time to calculate whether the method is
most suitable or not, In order to use a method with the
least possible risk.
FELLING CUTS (fig.10)
In order to ensure that the user has complete control over
the tree fall, the cutting instructions are as follows:
Trunk on the ground. (Risk of touching the ground with
the chain once the bar has passed trough the trunk).
(fig.5)
The cut that controls the fall direction of the tree is to be
executed first: First of all cut the UPPER PART of the
directional notch on the side the tree must fall. Remain
on the right hand side of the tree and cut using the chain
pull method; then cut the LOWER PART that must meet
Cut from top to bottom through the whole trunk. Towards
the end of the cut, proceed very carefully to prevent the
chain from hitting the ground. If it is possible, cut 2/3 of
the trunk, roll it over, and cut the remaining third from top
to bottom to limit the risk of the chain touching the
ground.
the end of the upper part. The depth of the directional
1/
notch must be
4
of the trunk diameter, with an angle of at
least 45° between upper and lower cut. The meeting
point between the two sides of the notch is called
“directional cut line” This line must be perfectly horizontal
at right angles (90°) to the felling direction.
Trunk supported at one end only (Risk of trunk
breaking during cutting action). (fig.6)
Begin the cut from underneath for about 1/3 of the
diameter, and then finish the cutting action from the top to
meet the undercut.
The felling cut that provokes the tree fall, is performed at
3 to 5cm above the lower part of the directional felling cut
line, finishing at a distance of 1/10 of the trunk from the
notch. Remain on the left hand side of the tree and cut
using the chain pulling method and the spiked bumper.
Check that the tree does not move in a direction other
than that predicted for the fall. As soon as possible insert
a felling lever or wedge into the cut. The uncut part of the
trunk is called the “hinge”, as it is intended to guide the
tree as it falls; in cases where the cuts are not sufficient,
not straight, or have been cut through completely, the tree
fall cannot be controlled (extremely dangerous!). For this
reason the various cuts must be performed with great
precision.
Trunk supported at both ends. (Risk of pinching the
chain). (fig.7)
Begin the cut from above for about 1/3 of the diameter,
and then continue from underneath to meet the overcut.
Trunk laying on a slope. Always stand on the uphill side
of the log. When ʻcutting throughʼ, to maintain complete
control, release the cutting pressure near the end of the
cut without relaxing your grip on the chainsaw handles.
Do not let the chain contact the ground.
When cutting operations are completed the tree will begin
to fall. Where necessary help tree fall using wedges or
felling levers.
Tree felling.
ATTENTION!: Never attempt to fell a tree if you do not
have the necessary experience, and in any case never
fell trees that have trunks with a diameter larger than the
length of the bar! This operation is reserved for expert
machine users with adequate equipment.
Limbing
Once the tree has been felled, the trunk must be limbed:
in other words, the branches are removed from the trunk.
Do not underestimate this operation because the large
majority of kickback accidents occur during this stage.
For this reason pay close attention to the position of the
bar nose during cutting operations and always work on
the left hand side of the trunk.
When felling a tree, the aim is to have the tree fall in the
most convenient position for the following limbing and
bucking operations. (Avoid trees falling on top of other
trees: Felling trees that are entangled with other trees is
a very dangerous operation).
First of all decide which is the best direction for the tree to
fall by evaluating the following: objects or other plants
around the tree, the inclination, the curve, wind direction,
and greatest branch concentration. Take into account
dead or broken branches that may break off during felling
creating a further danger risk.
