6.Health precautions – Chemical agents. Avoid all chain oil contact with skin and eyes.

7.Health precautions - Electricity. All extension cords, plugs, and electricity lines must be homologated, to standard and in compliance with current regulations. Make sure that the main line to which the machine is connected is equipped with a residual current device (RCD) with a current capacity no higher than 30mA. Make sure that all cables, plugs, and the residual current device are in correct working condition, that they comply with required characteristics, are mounted or hooked up correctly and are perfectly clean. Never disconnect the machine from the main line by pulling on the cable. Never use or store the machine and extension cord in damp environments. If the cable is damaged in any way, disconnect immediately from the main line socket, taking great care not to touch any exposed wires. Avoid all contact with grounded surfaces when using the machine (metal piping, cables, lightening conductors, etc). When working outdoors, all extension cords attached to the machine must be homologated for use out of doors. Avoid tying any knots in electric cables and never use rolled up extension cords.

8.Health precautions - Heat. During use pinion and chain reach very high temperatures, take care not to touch these parts while hot.

9.Health precautions – Sharp or moving parts. Never touch the chain except when the machine is switched off; in any case, always take great care since the chain is very sharp and can cut even when stopped. Remember that the chain will continue to rotate for a short time after the machine has been switched off.

10.Work area. Control the whole work area carefully to check for any danger source (e.g.: roads, paths, electric cables, dangerous trees, etc) Take special care when working on sloping ground. Cluttered areas can lead to injuries: before using the machine remove any stones, glass, cables, metal components, cans, bottles and any other foreign matter from the work area. Also take into consideration any danger risks that may not be noticed because of machine noise. Make sure that a second person is within calling distance in the case of accident. When working in isolated areas, always carry a first aid kit and make sure you have advised others of your exact location.

11. Work operations

Never start work with the machine before performing the following: remove the giude bar cover guard; make sure that a sufficient amount of oil has reached the chain; make sure you have a planned retreat path from falling trees (when cutting trees).

It is strictly forbidden to use the machine for: moving branches or roots; in cases where there is any danger that the chain may come into contact with the ground, electric protection, or piled wood; for cutting very thin branches or bushes (these will break easily and can whip bystanders or the user causing serious injury); for felling trees without adequate training and equipment (correct ropes, hooks, etc); starting sawing operations with the blade already engaged in a previous groove or slit; using the machine while standing on stepladders or other unstable surfaces; using the machine in extreme weather conditions, inclement weather, with reduced visibility and insufficient lighting (very low temperatures, very hot damp climates, fog, rain, wind, at night, etc.); using the machine with arms stretched: work must always be performed in a manner to ensure that the user can react immediately to unexpected conditions; it is forbidden to leave the machine unguarded; permitting others to touch the cable, extension cord , or the machine; forcing the machine during cutting action (this can lead to motor damage or loss of control over the machine); blocking the switch or the switch block with adhesive tape or other materials.

Always remember to: cut wood only (never cut plastic, metal, or other materials); make sure that the switch is NOT turned ON before inserting the plug in the socket or releasing the chain brake lever; make sure that the chain is not in contact with any objects at the moment the switch is turned ON; Keep all bystanders and animals well clear of the work area (where necessary, fence off the area and use warning signs) at a minimum distance of 2.5 m times the trunk height; in any case no less than ten meters. Wherever possible use a vice or a saw horse to block the wood to be cut; always hold the machine as follows: Grip the front handle with the left hand and the rear handle with the right hand, closing the thumb and other fingers firmly around the handle (during use, the machine could slide forwards or backwards, or create a reverse action, provoking a kickback reaction: holding the machine correctly reduces the risk of loosing control over the tool); Always make
