WARNING - If correctly used, the electric saw is a
quick, easily handled and efficient tool. For pleasant
and safe work, strictly comply with the safety rules
given below and throughout this manual.
WARNING! –National laws could limit use of the
electric chainsaw.
1 - The electric saw must only be used by adults, and
users must be in good physical shape and familiar
with the operating instructions. Do not use the electric
saw under conditions of physical fatigue or if you have
taken alcohol, drugs, or medication (Fig. 1).
2 - Never wear scarves, bracelets or anything else which
could be taken up by machine or chain. Wear clothing
that is snug-fitting and comfortable, and resistant to
cutting (pag. 14-15).
3 - Use safety footwear, gloves, safety glasses or goggles,
and protective head covering (pag. 14-15).
4 - Assemble bar and chain before connecting the plug to
the network (Fig. 2).
5 - Never start the electric saw without the chain-guard
on.
6 - Check that tension and frequency shown on the plate
correspond to the ones of the network.
7 - Never use cables, plugs or extensions which are
defective or fail to comply with relative standards.
8 - Immediately disconnect the plug if the cable is
damaged or cut (Fig. 3). The electric connection must
be positioned so as to prevent persons or vehicles
from damaging it, thus jeopardizing both themselves
and you.
9 - Before starting to saw, make sure that the work area is
clean and uncluttered.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
10 - Check the cable location during work: it must always
be kept away from the chain work area or/and never be
stretched. Never cut in the vicinity of other electrical
cables.
11 - When the motor is running, always hold the front grip
firmly with your left hand and the rear grip with your
right hand (Fig. 4).
12 - Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area
when cutting with the electric saw (Fig. 5).
13 - Always keep the grips clean and dry.
14 - Always cut from a firm-footed and safe position. Only
start cutting when the chain is moving. During work
use the teeth as a support point.
15 - Always cut from a firm-footed and safe position
(Fig. 6). Ensure that trees fall in a safe direction.
16 - When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert
for springback so that you will not be struck when the
tension in the wood fibres is released. Be extremely
careful when cutting small-size saplings because
slender material may catch the chain and be whipped
toward you or pull you off balance.
17 - The cut must be carried out so as to prevent the guide
bar from sticking in the wood.
18 - When cutting, never hold the electric saw above your
shoulders level (Fig. 7).
19 - Disconnect the plug from the network before any
servicing (Fig. 2).
20 - Carry the electric saw with the blade facing backward
and the blade-cover on (Fig. 8A).
21 - Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for the
maintenance operations.
22 - Check the saw daily to ensure that all safety and other
devices are working properly.

damage, or make ineffective any of the safety devices.
Only use bars of the length indicated in the table

24 - Only loan your saw to expert users who are completely
familiar with saw operation and correct use. Give other
users the manual with operating instructions, which
they should read before using the saw.

the ground, and with the blade-cover on.
26 - Do not expose the electric saw to rain or high humidity
conditions (Fig. 8B).
27 - Never use your electric saw in explosive or inflammable
atmospheres
28 - If the saw stops working for any reason, do not leave
it on the work site, but take it to your dealer who will
take the correct measures.
29 - All electric saw service, other than the operations
shown in the present manual, should be performed by
competent personnel.
30 - Keep this manual on hand and consult it before each
use of the tool.
31 - Do not overload the electric chainsaw by forcing the
cut.
32 - Do not abuse the power cable; never carry the saw
