- Fill the tank to a maximum of 2 cm below the cap,
being careful not to introduce dirt, sawdust, or dust
inside.
- IMPORTANT! It is very important to keep the
chain saw clean (with a brush) around the cap
before refilling.
- IMPORTANT! The oil level must be controlled
frequently during running because the chain must
always be lubricated. If the chain saw runs without
oil or with oil below the minimum level, the chain
and the bar will wear out quickly and tool's lifespan
will be reduced. Check the oil level frequently
through the inspection window (no.9) to ascertain
that it does not fall below the minimum.
- IMPORTANT! One fill-up of oil may last from
10 to 30 minutes according to the chain tension,
the type of wood being cut, the environmental
temperature, the oil density, and the usage of the
chain saw.
Operating instructions:
1. Starting the electric chain saw:
- Check that the chain brake is deactivated, pulling
back (towards the motor) the front hand guard (no.
8).
- Hold the saw firmly with both hands when run-
ning, with your right hand on the rear hand grip
(no. 2 Fig. A) and the left hand on the front hand
grip (no. 7 Fig. A).
- Turn on the chain saw by pushing the release
button (no. 5) first and then pulling the start lever
(no. 4).
- Note: Once the chain saw is running, it is not
necessary to hold down the release button.
- The release button (no. 5) is a safety device that
prevents accidental starts.
2. Stopping the electric chain saw:
- The chain saw stops automatically when the start
lever (no. 4) is released.
3. Controlling that the automatic oiler functions
correctly:
- Check that the tank is full of oil.
- Turn on the chain saw over a sheet of cardboard
holding the blade about 4 cm away.
- If an oil stain forms on the cardboard within a
minute, the lubrication device is working correctly.
If there is no oil on the cardboard, read the "Trou-
bleshooting" paragraph.
4.Controlling that the chain brake functions
correctly:
-The chain brake is a safety device that is acti-

vated by exerting pressure against the front hand
guard (no.8 Fig. A) when, in case of a kickback,
the operator's hand hits the lever. When the chain
brake is activated, the movement of the chain is
stopped immediately.
-The purpose of the chain brake is to reduce
danger in case of kickback. Before using the chain
saw, you must test the chain brake as follows:
Check that the chain brake is deactivated, pulling
the front hand guard (no. 8) back towards the
motor.
-Position the chain saw on a solid flat surface that
has been cleared of all objects.
-Connect the chain saw to the power supply, take it
in both hands, and turn it on.
-While the chain saw is functioning, activate the
chain brake by pushing your left hand against the
hand guard (no.8).
-The chain should stop instantly. N.B. Release the
start lever immediately.
IMPORTANT! If the chain does not stop when the
brake is activated, have the chain saw checked at
an authorised customer service centre. Do not use
the chain saw if the chain brake does not function
properly!
Sharpening the chain:
- Take the chain to a specialized workshop for
maintenance.
- IMPORTANT! If the chain is not sharpened regu-
larly, the risk of kickback is increased.
Felling trees and safety procedures:
1. Advice for those using the chain saw for the
first time:
Those who are using the chain saw for the first
time should receive practical instructions con-
cerning its use and gear by an expert operator. A
beginner should first practice by cutting wood on a
trestle or other support.
2. Useful suggestions concerning safety gear:
For protection from other risks related to the use
of this tool, adequate clothing and gear must be
used. In general, the following devices should be
used:
- Heavy-duty padded trousers.
- Coloured jacket to ensure that the operator is
easily visible.
- Heavy-duty leggings and heavy-duty, safety
shoes with non-skid soles and steel toes.
- Heavy-duty gloves and, if possible, insulated to
dampen vibrations.
- Helmet with visor for protection from falling
branches and materials.
- Soundproof headphones to protect hearing
