When operating from heights, never work on a ladder, tree, or unsafe support and never operate with one hand.
Keep all body parts away from cutting elements and moving parts when the machine is running. Before starting the machine, make sure that the cutting element is not in contact with any objects. A moment of carelessness during operation may cause your clothing or body part to be cut by the cutting element.
Always hold the saw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding the saw with your hands upside down increases the risk of an accident and should never be done.
Check the condition of the tree to prevent dry branches from falling on it while you cut. When cutting a branch that is under tension, be alert to the risk of elastic return. When the tension of the wood fibres is released, the branch, under a spring effect, can hit the operator and/or project the saw out of control.
Use extreme caution when cutting weeds and young shrubs. Fine materials can trap the saw chain and be projected onto you, or cause you to lose your balance under the effect of traction.
If you are an inexperienced user we recommend that you do a minimal amount of practice cutting logs on a sawhorse or sawing fork.

Store the product out of the reach of children.

UNINVITED REACTIONS WHILE OPERATING WITH THE CHAINSAW

Always be careful when cutting with the chainsaw and be aware of any unexpected reaction forces. There are three unforeseen reaction forces that occur on a chainsaw: rebound, forward pull and recoil.

REBOUND

If an object is touched with the cutting chain in the area of the tip of the sword while it is running. Contact of the chain on the tip of the sword can cause an unforeseen reaction force that can push the tip of the sword upwards generating a rotating movement that can cause the chain’s sword to collide with the user. This reaction can result in loss of control of the machine and severe personal injury

PULL FORWARD

When the chain stops abruptly when it is caught in the cutting area by a foreign body in the wood or because it is not cut properly. The chain, when stopped, pushes the saw forward and, if it is not correctly held against the branch or tree by the claw, it causes an unexpected pull that can cause loss of control and severe personal injury
To avoid this “pull forward”, start cutting at full throttle and always keep the machine at full throttle during cutting and support the saw’s claw against the wood to be cut.

REGRESSION

Backdown can occur if the sword touches an object or when the wood is closed and the chain is stuck in the cut. The tip contact in some cases can cause an extremely fast reverse reaction, moving the sword upwards and towards the user. If the chain is locked in a position on the top edge of the sword, it can be pushed towards the user. In either case, the user may lose control of the machine and be seriously injured.
Any of these reactions can cause you to lose control of the saw that could result in a serious personal injury.
These reaction forces are the result of misuse of the tool and/or improper procedures or operating conditions and can be avoided by taking the appropriate precautions specified below:
– Hold the saw firmly with both hands and with both thumbs and fingers around the saw handles and position your body and arms to allow it to withstand unexpected forces.
– Do not extend your arms too far and do not cut above shoulder height.
– Always be aware of where the tip of the chain sword is.
– Make sure that the tip of the sword does not touch anything.
– Do not cut branches with the tip of the sword.
– Make sure there are no nails or pieces of metal in the cutting area and pay special attention to nails or pieces of iron that may be around the cutting area. Also be careful when cutting hardwood where the chain may become caught and blocked and therefore cause rebound.
– Start at full throttle and always keep the machine at full throttle during cutting.
– Cut a single branch or piece of wood at a time.
– Use caution when inserting the saw chain into an already started cut to continue.
– Do not cut with the chainsaw until you are familiar with the cutting technique.
– Do not cut into branches or pieces of wood that may change position during cutting.
– Keep the chain in good condition.
– Work only if the chain is well sharpened and correctly tensioned.
– Never stand on the cutting plane of the chainsaw.
– Use only replacement swords and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrectly replaced swords and chains can cause a chain break and/or recoil.
– Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for sharpening and maintaining the saw chain.

ASSEMBLY

ATTENTION: The chainsaw may come with plastic spacers on or around the sword bolts, the spacer is for shipping purposes only and must be removed before mounting the sword. After removing the brake cover, remove the plastic spacers you find and then mount the sword as described. Failure to remove the spacers before mounting and using the chainsaw may result in injury, damage to the unit and void the warranty

Open the box and install the guide bar and saw into the power unit as follows:

Pull the chain brake handle toward the back of the saw (or pull toward the back of the saw if the chain brake was installed on the saw).
Loosen the nuts and remove the unit from the chain brake cover assembly.
Install the claw (toothed part) on the unit (some models only).
Mount the chain on the sprocket and, while adjusting the chain around the guide bar, mount the bar in its housing. The cutting chains are directional, so make sure you have them installed correctly
Adjust the position of the chain tensioner to fit into the chain pin slot.
Mount the chain brake cover on the unit. Tighten the side nuts with your fingers, do not tighten them. The sword must be able to move up and down with the fingers.
While holding the tip of the sword, adjust the chain tension by turning the tensioning screw on the tensioner until the holding straps touch the bottom of the sword rail. Some chain tensioning screws are located on the front of the unit.
You can now tighten the side nuts firmly with the tip of the sword in place.
With one gloved hand, check that the chain turns smoothly and is tight. Hold the chain along the top center of the chain saw blade as shown in the picture below and lift it up to check the tension. When released, the chain must quickly snap back into place.

(1) Direction of movement
(2) Loosen
(3) Tighten
(4) Tension nut
If the chain is too loose or too tight, loosen the nuts before adjusting the chain tensioner. Failure to loosen the nuts will damage the tensioner and void the warranty

ATTENTION: A new chain will stretch when first used. Check the chain tension regularly with a gloved hand. A loose chain can derail and wear away, as well as wear away the sword. If the chain has to be tightened, always make sure the nuts are loosened before adjusting the chain tensioner.

ADJUST THE CHAIN USING THE CHAIN TENSIONER

ATTENTION

Always wear safety gloves when touching the sharp side of the chain.
Always disconnect the “spark plug wire” before touching the sharp end of the chain.
You should check the tension of a new chain within 5 minutes of using it. For an old chain, check the tension every 15 minutes of use.
Always loosen the side nuts before adjusting the chain tensioner.

PRODUCT USE

BEFORE USING

REFUELLING FUEL

ATTENTION

Use only new, clean, ethanol-free, lead-free 95+ with two-stroke oil (25:1).
Do not overfill the fuel tank.
Do not use contaminated sediment or fuel to mix with two-stroke oil.
Do not allow water or dirt to enter the tank.
Tighten the filler cap firmly after adding fuel.

Clean the surface around the fuel cap to avoid contamination.
Slowly loosen the fuel cap. Place it on a clean surface.
Pour the fuel carefully into the tank. Avoid spills.
Before replacing the fuel cap, clean and inspect the gasket.
Immediately replace the fuel filler cap and tighten it by hand. Clean up any fuel spills.

ENGINE START

ATTENTION

The starter handle can recoil very quickly before you can release it, which can pull your hand strongly towards the engine and cause an injury.
Do not allow the starter handle to jump backwards, but slowly by hand.
When starting the engine, make sure that the sharp part is well away from third parties, animals or objects as it may rotate during start-up.
The cutting edge will engage and rotate when the engine is started and accelerated.
The recoil starter can be damaged by abuse.
As the engine starts or warms up, it will be possible to restart it, do this several times before starting your work. Motors may run irregularly when cold or when first used.

Always remove the sword cover before starting your chainsaw.
If your chainsaw is equipped with a decompression valve, press it now to help start the engine and start your chainsaw (not required on most models from 2014).
If your chainsaw has a starter bulb, press it 10 times, this helps with start-up and reduces the number of jerks needed to get started
Pull the choke lever all the way out.
To start the chainsaw, place it on a flat surface. The cutting attachment must not be in contact with the ground to prevent it from blowing off when you start it up and to avoid putting yourself in an unnecessary risk situation.
To leave the saw on the ground, place your left hand on the handlebar and your right hand on the starter cord. Push its right end toward the rear handle to stabilize the chainsaw.
Pull the starter rope slowly with your right hand until you feel resistance. Then pull the starter cord a full cycle several times until the engine starts briefly. Pull it upwards, keeping it as vertical as possible, without allowing the rope to catch against the fan housing.
The engine fires only briefly and dies off again immediately. Push the choke all the way in (some models have a two-stage choke and only reach halfway until the trigger is released to operate the saw).
Pull the starter cord again until the engine restarts.
As soon as the engine has started and is running, touch the throttle trigger briefly with your index finger.
(The throttle lever will return to the normal idle setting if equipped with a two-stage throttle).
Then slowly lift the chainsaw up, taking care not to touch the throttle trigger.
Release the chain brake by pulling the chain brake handle towards you with your left hand. Hold the handlebar with your left hand while doing this. When you hear a sound like a click, it means that the chain has been released and you can activate the sword.
Before starting, check the chain lubrication. Hold the saw against a light-colored background, such as a tree trunk or piece of paper, on the ground and open the throttle fully. If this background shows chain lubricant, you can start working.
The saw is now ready for use. For safe work practices, refer to the manual.

QUICK START

Fill the fuel tank with fuel.
Fill the oil.
Turn the ON/OFF button on.
Pull the starter rope outwards.
The first time you will have to pull the rope until the fuel has passed through the system.
Once the engine starts, push the rope all the way in until the engine starts and is running.

IF THE ENGINE FAILS TO START

Repeat the appropriate starting procedure (hot or cold engine). If the engine does not start after frequent attempts, the engine may be drowned (too much fuel in the engine). If you suspect that your engine is drowned go to the next section “Starting a drowned engine”.

STARTING A DROWNED ENGINE

ATTENTION: Incorrect installation of the spark plug can cause serious engine damage.

Pull the “spark plug” of the “spark plug”.
Using a spark plug wrench, remove the “spark plug” (turn it counterclockwise to remove it).
Push the choke lever down.
Hold the throttle trigger fully (full throttle)
Pull the starter handle quickly with your right hand to expel/remove excess fuel from the combustion chamber.
Wipe the spark plug clean with a cloth to remove any excess fuel or oil deposits.
Reinstall the “spark plug” and tighten it firmly, tighten it by hand plus 1/3 turn with the spark plug wrench.
Repeat the WARM ENGINE starting procedure above.
If the engine still does not start, refer to the identification and troubleshooting section.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

ATTENTION: The cutterbar continues to rotate for a short period of time after the throttle is released or the engine is turned off (steering wheel effect).

Stop the engine by turning the switch to the “OFF” position.

FILLING WITH FUEL

Clean the surface around the fuel cap to avoid contamination.
Slowly loosen the fuel filler cap. Place the cap on a clean surface.
Pour the fuel carefully into the tank. Avoid spills.
Before replacing the fuel cap, clean and inspect the gasket.
Immediately replace the fuel cap and tighten it by hand. Clean up any fuel spills.

CHECK AND ADJUST IDLE SPEED

Start the engine and leave it idle for about two or three minutes, or until it warms up.

NOTE: The screws of the mix are identified by the symbols L (low speed), H (high speed) and T (accelerator), symbols that can be seen on the side of the chainsaw. Do not touch the H and L screws.

If the cutterbar rotates quickly while the engine is idling, reduce idle speed by turning the throttle counter counterclockwise if necessary.
If the engine stalls, increase the idle speed by turning the throttle screw clockwise.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

ATTENTION: The cutterbar can rotate when the engine is at idle speed.

NOTE

The engine will return to idle speed after the throttle trigger is released.
You may require a moderate level of mechanical knowledge for the maintenance of your machine, if in doubt, please contact the Official Technical Service.
As a rule, the engine idle speed should be reduced to a minimum so that the cutterbar does notrotate quickly and the engine is only “running”.

TURN THE IDLE AND MIXTURE SCREWS TO THE FACTORY SETTINGS

Turn the idle speed screw clockwise until it starts to tighten (do not tighten).
Turn the idle speed screw counterclockwise 5 turns.
Turn the mixing screw clockwise until it starts to tighten (do not tighten).
Turn the mixing screw counterclockwise. L 2,5 turns and H 1,25 turns.
NOTE: For high altitudes it is recommended to use low (3 times) and high (1.5 times)
Now start the engine.
Make sure the choke is down and the engine is warm.
Pull the throttle trigger fully (full throttle).
With the engine running at full speed, turn the mixing screw clockwise until the engine is running at full speed.
ATTENTION: Prevent engine damage once the engine is running at full speed, turn the mix screw counter clockwise 1/4 turn.
For a good idle speed adjustment, place a cutting head and adjust the idle screw to minimize idle tool movement while keeping the engine running smoothly

MAINTENANCE

Good maintenance will extend the life of the machine. Prolonged or constant use may require more intensive maintenance for the machine to continue to function properly.

ATTENTION: Make sure the engine is completely shut down before performing any maintenance or repair. This will eliminate any potential risk.
