•
Do not use this machine when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
•
Avoid inhalation of exhaust gases. This machine produces dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide that can
cause dizziness, fainting or death.
•
Check that all safety features are installed and in good condition. Do not use this machine if any of its components
are damaged.
•
Always maintain proper foot support and operate the machine only when it is on a fixed, stable, level surface.
Sliding or unstable surfaces can cause a loss of balance or control of the machine.
•
Always hold the machine by the handles with both hands.
•
When operating from heights, never work on a ladder, tree, or unsafe support and never operate with one hand.
•
Keep all body parts away from cutting elements and moving parts when the machine is running. Before starting
the machine, make sure that the cutting element is not in contact with any objects. A moment of carelessness
during operation may cause your clothing or body part to be cut by the cutting element.
•
Always hold the saw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding the
saw with your hands upside down increases the risk of an accident and should never be done.
•
Check the condition of the tree to prevent dry branches from falling on it while you cut. When cutting a branch
that is under tension, be alert to the risk of elastic return. When the tension of the wood fibres is released, the
branch, under a spring effect, can hit the operator and/or project the saw out of control.
•
Use extreme caution when cutting weeds and young shrubs. Fine materials can trap the saw chain and be
projected onto you, or cause you to lose your balance under the effect of traction.
•
If you are an inexperienced user we recommend that you do a minimal amount of practice cutting logs on a
sawhorse or sawing fork.
•
Do not attempt to remove the cut material from the cutting tool when it is moving. Make sure that the machine
is switched off when cleaning up debris.
•
Never pick up the machine by the cutting tool. Cutting tools have sharp edges that can hurt you.
•
Do not touch any of the engine components while the machine is running or just after it has stopped due to the
high temperatures it reaches.
