General Power Tool Safety Warnings
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.
The term ʻ“power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
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.
2) 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.
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) 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 tools may
result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) 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.
g) 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 dust-related hazards.
3) Power tool use and care
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
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.
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.
e) 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.
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.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins
keys, nails screws or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal to
another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush wih water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
6) 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:
• 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.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring.
Saw chains contacting a
“live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the
guide bar touches an object, 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.
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.
• 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
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.
2. Precautions prior to machine use. Never permit
this machine to be used by any persons who are not
perfectly familiar with the manual instructions.
Inexperienced persons must follow a training period
operating on a saw horse only.
3. Control checks. Check the machine with care
before use each time, especially if it has been subject
to strong impact, or if it shows any signs of
malfunction. Perform all operations described in the
chapter “Maintenance – Before each use”.
GB
18
4. Repairs and Maintenance. All the machine parts that
can be replaced personally, are clearly explained in the
“Assembly” instructions chapter. Where necessary, all
other machine parts must be replaced exclusively by an
Authorised Service Centre.
5. Clothing. 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 vibrationproof 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.
7. Health precautions – Chemical agents. Use oil
which is approved by the manufacturer.
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.
Each time the work area is changed to
another location, 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. 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 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”

3. Safety Devices
Switch block
Your machine is equipped with
a device that when
deactivated, stops the switch
from being pressed thus
preventing accidental start-up.
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.
Front hand guard / Chain brake lever
The front hand guard 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 . The chain
brake is activated when the
front hand guard is pushed forward and the chain is
stopped . 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.
When the machine is used
with the bar in horizontal
position, for example
during tree felling, the
chain brake offers less
protection .
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 catcher
This machine is equipped
with a chain catcher
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
(See Section 4. Assembly).
Rear hand guard
This acts to protect the hand in the case of chain
breaking or derailing.
