Preliminary cutting operations and identifying the retreat path. Eliminate any branches that interfere with the job (fig.8), starting from top to bottom, and then, always keeping the trunk between the user and the machine eliminate the more difficult branches afterwards, piece by piece. Eliminate all plants that interfere with work operations and control the area for possible obstacles (rocks, roots, ditches,etc.) when planning the retreat path (to follow during tree fall); Refer to the illustra

Do not allow the file to touch the chain as you bring it back to re-position it. Each cutter tooth should be filed with the same number of strokes. 3 The file should be held horizontally to the cutter tooth being sharpened. 4 Best results to obtain a precise sideways angle can be obtained by holding the file so that it rises 0,5 mm above the top face of the cutter tooth. 5 DEPTH GAUGE Correct depth gauge height is vital to ensure maximum chain life and cutting efficiency. The height of the depth

12. Transport and storage precautions. Each time the work area is changed to another location, disconnect the machine from the main line and 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. Never carry the machine by the cable. After use, store the machine in a dry, high place, far from

File all the teeth on one side first, then turn the machine over and repeat the operation. Make sure that after sharpening operations, all teeth are the same length and that the height of the depth gauge is 0.6 mm lower than the upper cutter: check the height using a proper template and file (with a flat file) all protruding parts, rounding off the front part of the depth gauge(fig.14), paying attention to not file the kickback protection tooth(fig.15) Every 30 hours use. Take the machine to the

START-UP AND ARREST 1,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12,13 Start-up: grip both handles firmly, release the chain brake lever, press and maintain the switch block pressed in, then press the switch (at this point the switch block can be released). Arrest: The machine will stop whenever the switch is released. In the case where the machine does not stop, activate the chain brake, disconnect the cable from the main line socket and take the machine to the Authorised Service Centre. F.

Take into account dead or broken branches that may break off during felling creating a further danger risk. ATTENTION! During tree felling operations in critical conditions, always remove ear protection immediately after cutting operations to be able to listen for unusual noises and any warning signals.
