Product Usage Instructions

Before using the MINI OLMO L20, please read and follow these specific safety instructions:

1. Always fix the piece to be cut with clamps or pliers. Holding the piece with your hand or against your body can cause accidents.
2. Perform safe cuts by supporting the saw on the tool’s support point.
3. When you have completed a cut, turn off the tool and do not remove it from the material until it has completely stopped. This can prevent rebounds and kickbacks.
4. Avoid rebounds, kickbacks, and jams. These incidents occur when touching any material with the saw tip in operation, or while cutting wood and the cut narrows due to the weight of the piece trapping the chain. Exposing the tool to this type of situation can cause it to rebound violently against the material, get stuck, or cause a kickback that pushes the tool against the operator. All of these situations pose a risk to the operator, so precautions should be taken and all safety measures in this instruction manual should be used:
   • Maintain a firm grip, keeping fingers and other parts of the body away from the chain. Holding the tool firmly allows you to control it in case of a rebound or kickback.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

1. Work area safety

   • Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
   • Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite dust or fumes.
   • Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

   • Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
   • Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
   • Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
   • Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
   • When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. The use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
   • If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety

   • 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.
   • 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.
   • Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
   • Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
   • Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
   • Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
   • If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dustrelated hazards.

4. Power tool use and care

   • 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.

   • 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.

   • Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

   • 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.

   • Maintain power tools. Check for 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.

   • Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

   • 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.

MACHINE SPECIFIC SAFETY

WARNINGS

Keep your whole body away from the saw when it is in operation. Before operating the saw make sure that the chain is not in contact with anything. Keep the handles dry and free of moisture and oil.   slippery handle can lead to accidents.Always hold the tool with both hands, placing one hand on the main handle controlling the trigger while the other hand holds the auxiliary handle. Holding the tool with only one hand or incorrectly can lead to accidents. Always hold the tool by the rubber areas. The saw could cut a hidden cable and cause an electric shock to the operator. Switch off the power tool immediately if it becomes jammed. Whenever possible clamp the workpiece with clamps or clamp clamps. Holding the workpiece by hand or against the body can cause accidents. Always maintain a firm and safe working posture. Using the tool in awkward positions can cause accidents.Make safe cuts by resting the saw on the tool’s support point. Do not attempt to cut anything until the machine is switched on and running at full power. If the tool is operated while in contact with any material, the chain may bounce or jam causing accidents. When you have completed a cut, turn the tool off anddo not remove it from the material until it has come to a complete stop. This way you can avoid bouncing and kickback. Only use chains and bars that are in perfect condition. The use of dull or damaged chains can affect the quality of the cut and cause accidents. Do not brake the saw by applying excessive pressure to the cut or by pressing sideways against the cutting material. This could damage the tool and break the chain causing accidents. Use skin, eye and respiratory protection. Avoid kickback, kickback and jamming. These incidents occur when touching any material with the tip of the saw in operation, or while making a cut in wood where the cut is constricted by the weight of the workpiece trapping the chain. When the tool is subjected to this type of situation, the tool can bounce violently against the material, become jammed or cause a kickback that pushes the tool against the operator. All of these situations pose a risk to the operator, so extreme caution must be exercised and all safety precautions in this instruction manual must be followed:

• Maintain a firm grip, keeping fingers and other body parts away from the chain. Holding the tool firmly allows you to control it in the event of kickback or recoil.
• Do not cut in awkward, unstable, stretched or over-shouldered positions to avoid unintentional contact with the tool tip.
• Use only manufacturer’s approved replacement parts.
• Keep the chain sharp and all components well maintained and cared for.
• Before starting work ensure that the chain is in good condition, correctly tensioned, lubricated, and fitted to the bar, with all components securely locked into position.
