– t he throttle trigger must remain locked until the safety
lever is pressed;
– t he engine stop switch must easily move from one posi-

C) OPERATION
1) Do not operate the engine in a confined space where
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
Make sure air circulates when working in pits, holes or
similar.
2) Work only in daylight or good artificial light.
3) Take a firm and well-balanced position:
– w here possible, avoid working on wet, slippery gro u nd
or in any case on uneven or steep gro u nd that does not
guarantee stability for the operator;
– a void using unstable ladders or platforms;
– d o not work with the machine above your shoulders;
– n ever run, but walk carefully paying attention to the lay
of the land and any eventual obstacles.
– a void working alone or in an isolated place, in case you
have to find help after an accident.
4) Make sure the machine is securely locked when you
start the engine:
– start the motor in an area at least 3 metres from where
you refuelled;
– c heck that there are no persons in the vicinity of the
machine;

engine excessively at maximum speed.
6) Do not strain the machine too much and do not use a
small chain-saw for heavy-duty sawing. If you use the right
machine, you will reduce the risk of hazards and improve
the quality of your work.
7) Check that when the machine is running idle, there is
no movement of the chain and, after pres s ing the throttle
trigger, the engine quickly returns to minimum speed.
