WORKWEAR
• Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair can be picked up by moving parts.
-
Eye protection (safety glasses/mesh/methacrylate screens).

Hearing protection (earmuffs/earplugs).
-
Head and face protection (helmet and mask).
-
Hand protection (gloves/mitons).
-
Leg protection (trousers/pants).
-
Foot protection (safety boots).
• Adequate protective clothing will reduce bodily hazards caused by projected debris or accidental contact with
the saw chain.
VIBRATIONS
• A high level of vibration and long periods of exposure are the factors contributing to white finger disease
(Raynaud's phenomenon). In order to reduce the risk of white finger disease, you need to be aware of these
recommendations:
-
Always wear gloves.
-
Worry about always keeping your hands warm.
-
Make sure that the chain is always sharp.
-
Take frequent breaks.
-
Always hold the machine firmly by the handles.
• If you notice any of the symptoms of white finger disease, see your doctor immediately.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Do not use this machine in explosive atmospheres in the presence of flammable liquids, gases and dust.
• Do not start the machine in a closed room or enclosure. Exhaust gases and fuel vapors contain carbon monoxide
and hazardous chemicals.
• The area within a 15-metre radius around the machine must be regarded as a danger zone which must not be
entered by anyone while the machine is running (safety zone). When necessary, use ropes and warning signs to
mark the safety zone. Keep children and curious persons away while operating this machine. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
• When the work must be performed simultaneously by two or more people, always check the presence and
location of the others in order to maintain a sufficient distance between each person to ensure safety.
• Keep the work area clean and work in good lighting. Only use this machine in daylight or with good artificial
lighting.
• Remember that the machine operator is responsible for hazards and accidents caused to other people or things.
The manufacturer is in no way liable for damage caused by improper or incorrect use of this machine.
MAINTENANCE, TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE SAFETY
• Carry out maintenance on the machine. We recommend that maintenance and repairs not described in this
manual be performed by an Official Service Facility.
• Check that moving parts are not misaligned or jammed, that there are no broken parts or other conditions that
could affect the operation of the machine. Whenever it is damaged, repair it before use.
• Keep the handles dry and clean. Dirty handles can cause a loss of control.
• Keep cutting instruments sharp and clean.
• Avoid accidental starting of the machine. Make sure that the switch is in the "off" position before picking up or
transporting this machine. Transporting electrical machines with the switch in the "on" position can endanger
their safety and lead to accidents.
• When transporting, hold the chainsaw by the front handle with the machine off, the chain and sword covered with
the cover and at a distance from the body parts. When storing the chainsaw, always cover the sword with the cover.
