USERS

• This machine has been designed to be manipulated only by users of legal age who have read and understood these instructions.
• Familiarize yourself with this machine before using it. Make sure you know the controls and safety devices and how they should be used.
• If you are an inexperienced user, we recommend that you do some practice doing simple jobs and, if possible, in the company of an experienced person.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Use this machine, accessories, tools, etc. in accordance with these instructions and in the manner provided, taking into account the working conditions and the work to  be performed.

• Be alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating this machine. Never use the machine with defective protections or without safety devices.

• Do not modify the controls of this machine.

• Do not use this machine if any of its components are damaged.

• Do not use this machine when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.

• Remove all keys or tools from the work area before starting this machine. A nearby key or tool may be touched and projected causing personal injury.

• Always maintain proper foot support and operate the machine only when it is on a fixed, secure, level surface.
  Sliding or unstable surfaces can cause a loss of balance or control of the machine.

• 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.

• Do not leave this machine unattended during operation. If you have to leave the machine unattended, turn it off completely.

• Do not attempt to remove the cut material from the cutting tool when it is moving. Make sure that the machine is switched off when cleaning up debris.

• Never pick up the machine by the cutting tool. Cutting tools have sharp edges that can hurt you.

WORKWEAR

• Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts.
  Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair can be picked up by moving parts.
  – Eye protection (safety glasses/mesh/methacrylate screens).
  – Hearing protection (earmuffs/earplugs).
  – Head and face protection (helmet and mask).
  – Hand protection (gloves/mitons).
  – Leg protection (trousers/pants).
  – Foot protection (safety boots).

• Adequate protective clothing will reduce bodily hazards caused by projected debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.

VIBRATIONS

• A high level of vibration and long periods of exposure are the factors contributing to white finger disease (Raynaud’s phenomenon). In order to reduce the risk of white  finger disease, you need to be aware of these recommendations:
  – Always wear gloves.
  – Worry about always keeping your hands warm.
  – Make sure that the chain is always sharp.
  – Take frequent breaks.
  – Always hold the machine firmly by the handles.

• If you notice any of the symptoms of white finger disease, see your doctor immediately.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Do not use this machine in explosive atmospheres in the presence of flammable liquids, gases and dust.
• Do not start the machine in a closed room or enclosure. Exhaust gases and fuel vapors contain carbon monoxide and hazardous chemicals.
• The area within a 15-metre radius around the machine must be regarded as a danger zone which must not be entered by anyone while the machine is running (safety  zone). When necessary, use ropes and warning signs to mark the safety zone. Keep children and curious persons away while operating this machine. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
• When the work must be performed simultaneously by two or more people, always check the presence and location of the others in order to maintain a sufficient distance  between each person to ensure safety.
• Keep the work area clean and work in good lighting. Only use this machine in daylight or with good artificial lighting.
• Remember that the machine operator is responsible for hazards and accidents caused to other people or things.
  The manufacturer is in no way liable for damage caused by improper or incorrect use of this machine.

MAINTENANCE, TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE SAFETY

• Carry out maintenance on the machine. We recommend that maintenance and repairs not described in this manual be performed by an Official Service Facility.
• Check that moving parts are not misaligned or jammed, that there are no broken parts or other conditions that could affect the operation of the machine. Whenever it is  damaged, repair it before use.
• Keep the handles dry and clean. Dirty handles can cause a loss of control.
• Keep cutting instruments sharp and clean.
• Avoid accidental starting of the machine. Make sure that the switch is in the “off” position before picking up or transporting this machine. Transporting electrical  machines with the switch in the “on” position can endanger their safety and lead to accidents.
• When transporting, hold the chainsaw by the front handle with the machine off, the chain and sword covered with the cover and at a distance from the body parts. When  storing the chainsaw, always cover the sword with the cover.
• Disconnect the battery from the machine before making any adjustments, cleaning or storing this machine.
• Store the product with the battery disconnected 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.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Never modify the plug in any way. Unchanged pins and matching bases will reduce the risk of electric shock. If any damage is discovered, send your machine to the  Official Technical Service.
• Do not open or attempt to repair the battery or battery charger.
• Protect the battery and charger from moisture. Keep the battery away from extreme heat and cold.
• Only charge the battery at an ambient temperature (surrounding air) between 0°C and 40°C.
• Do not use the cable to carry, lift or unplug the charger. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk of  electric shock.
• Do not operate the battery charger outdoors.
• When not in use or before cleaning and repairing, disconnect the charger from the power supply. Take special care with the battery.
• Store the battery in a dry place between 10ºC and 30ºC when not in use.
• This battery is sealed and must never leak liquid. If the seal becomes damaged and the liquid touches your skin quickly, wash with plenty of soap and water, neutralize the  liquid with a weak acid such as lemon or vinegar and go to your medical center urgently. If liquid from the battery touches your eyes, flush them thoroughly with  water for 10 minutes and call for immediate medical attention.
• The battery should be recharged when it does not produce enough power in the work that was easily done before. Do not continue to use the product with its battery  depleted.

INSPECT AND CLEAN

ATENTION

• Always wear gloves when working around the blade assembly.
• Use only original spare parts for this machine.

SHARPENING THE SAW TEETH
To maintain the best conditions for your tool cutting operation, be sure to keep the saw teeth sharp. It is ideal to do this when the angle of the upper tooth is 30 degrees. You  can sharpen them properly by performing the following steps:

1. It will be ideal to do so when the upper tooth angle is 30 degrees.
2. Side tooth angle: Sharpen the side teeth to 85 degrees.
3. Top grinding angle: If the top and side teeth are sharpened correctly, the top grinding angle should automatically become a 60 degree angle.

When filing the chain saw, when pushing the file in the direction indicated by the arrow, be careful not to touch the blade with the file. After the chain has been filed two or  three times, it may be necessary to file the target teeth slightly lower.
This is because the rake of the tooth serves to due to the characteristic curved shape of the tooth blade. As a result, the drilled blade will be lower than the depth gauge, resulting in a failure to cut.
To compensate for this defect, use a flat file to sharpen the top of the tooth blank so that it is about 0.5 mm lower than the tip of the tooth. Be careful not to file the tooth  rake too much, otherwise the tooth blade will be sawed off suddenly, causing the tool to jam during cutting.
