2) WARNING: DANGER! Fuel is highly flammable: - keep the fuel in containers which have been specifically manufactured and homologated for such use;
- never smoke when handling fuel;
– slowly open the fuel tank to allow the pressure inside to decrease gradually; - top up the tank with fuel in the open air, using a funnel;
-
add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the fuel tank cap or add fuel while the engine is running or when the engine is hot;
-
if you have spilt some fuel, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until the fuel has evaporated and fuel vapours have dissipated;
- immediately clean up all traces of fuel spilt on the machine or on the ground;
- never start the machine in the same place you refilled it with fuel;
- make sure your clothing does not come into contact with the fuel, on the contrary, change your clothes before starting the engine;
- always put the tank and fuel container caps back on and tighten well.
3) Replace faulty or damaged silencers.
4) Before using the machine, check its general condition and in particular:
– the throttle trigger and the safety lever must move freely, they must not need forcing and should return automatically and rapidly back to the neutral position; - the throttle trigger must remain locked until the safety lever is pressed;
- the engine stop switch must easily move from one position to the other;
- the electric cables and in particular the spark plug cable must be in perfect condition to avoid the generation of any sparks, and the cap must be correctly fitted on the spark plug;
– the machine handgrips and protection devices must be clean and dry and well fastened to the machine;
– the chain brake must be in perfect working order; - the bar and the chain must be fitted correctly;
– the chain must be tensioned correctly.
5) Before starting your work, make sure that all the protection devices are correctly fitted.
C) OPERATION
1) Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect. Make sure air circulates when working in pits, holes or similar.
2) Work only in daylight or good artificial light.
3) Take on a firm and well-balanced position:
- where possible, avoid working on wet, slippery ground or in any case on uneven or steep ground that does not guarantee stability for the operator;
- avoid using unstable ladders or platforms;
- do not work with the machine above your shoulders;
– never run, but walk carefully paying attention to the lay of the land and any eventual obstacles.
- avoid working alone or in an isolated place, in case you have to find help after an accident.
4) Make sure the machine is securely locked when you start the engine:
- start the motor in an area at least 3 metres from where you refuelled;
– check that there are no persons in the vicinity of the machine:
- do not direct the silencer and therefore the exhaust fumes towards inflammable materials.
- watch out for flying debris caused by the movement of the chain, especially when it hits obstacles or foreign objects.
5) Do not change the engine tuning and do not rev the engine excessively at maximum speed.
6) Do not strain the machine too much and do not use a small chain-saw for heavy-duty sawing. If you use the right machine, you will reduce the risk of hazards and improve the quality of your work.
7) Check that when the machine is running idle, there is no movement of the chain and, after pressing the throttle trigger, the engine quickly returns to minimum speed.
8) Take care not to hit the bar hard against foreign objects or flying debris caused by the movement of the chain.
9) Stop the engine:
- whenever you leave the machine unattended; - before refuelling.
10) Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug cable:
- before cleaning, checking or working on the machine; - after striking a foreign object. Inspect the machine for any damage and make repairs before restarting it again;
- if the machine begins to abnormally vibrate (Immediate look for the cause of the vibrations and take for necessary controls at a Specialised Centre).
- when the machine is not in use.
11) Avoid exposure to dust and sawdust produced by the chain when cutting.
1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tightly fastened to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition. Routine maintenance is essential for safety and for maintaining a high performance level.
2) Do not store the machine with fuel in the tank in an area where the fuel vapours could reach an open flame, a spark or a strong heat source.
3) Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
4) To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine, exhaust silencer and fuel storage area free from sawdust, branches, leaves, or excessive grease; never leave containers with the cut debris inside the storage area.
5) Se il serbatoio deve essere svuotato, effettuare questa operazione all'aperto e a motore freddo.
6) If the fuel tank has to be emptied, this should be done outdoors once the engine has cooled down.
7) Make sure the chain is well sharpened. Any work on the chain and bar require specific experience and special tools. For safety purposes, we recommend you contact your dealer to ensure work is done correctly.
8) For safety reasons, never use the machine with worn or damaged parts. Damaged parts are to be replaced and never repaired. Only use original spare parts. Parts that are not of the same quality can seriously damage the equipment and compromise safety.
9) Before putting the machine away, check you have removed wrenches or tools used for maintenance.
10) Store the machine out of the reach of children!
E) TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING
1) Whenever the machine is to be handled or transported you must:
- turn off the engine, wait for the chain to stop and disconnect the spark plug cap;
- mount the bar cover;
- only hold the machine using the handgrips and position the bar in the opposite direction to that used during operation.
2) When using a vehicle to transport the machine, position it so that it can cause no danger to persons and fasten it firmly in place to avoid it from tipping over, which may cause damage or fuel spillage.
F) RESIDUAL RISKS
- Keep all parts of the body away from the saw when the chain saw is operating. Before you start the chain saw, make sure the saw chain is not tacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating chain saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
- Always hold the chain saw with your right hand the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done.
- Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
- Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of chain saw while up in a tree may result in personal injury.
- Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when standing on fixed, secure and lev surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain saw.
- When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres is released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the chain saw out of control.
- Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
- Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw switched off and away from your body. When transporting or storing the chain saw always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
- Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
- Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
- This machine's starter unit generates an average sized electromagnetic field, but it is not however possible to exclude the possibility of interference on any active or passive medical devices that operators may be wearing; this could be risky for their health conditions. All those using medical devices should always consult their GP, or the device manufacturer, before using this machine.
G) CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF KICKBACK:
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to loose control of the saw which could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw.
As a chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
nkinkback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by clearing proper precautions as given below:
- Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles, with both hands on the saw and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.
- Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected situations.
- Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and of a chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
- Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing level the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
H) CHAIN-SAW OPERATING TECHNIQUES
Always observe the safety regulations and use the most suitable sawing techniques (see chapter 7 for instructions and examples).
J) RECOMMENDATION FOR THE FIRST-TIME USERS
Before felling or delimbing for the first time, make sure:
– you have been specifically trained to use this type of equipment;
– you have carefully read the safety regulations and user instructions contained in this manual;
- you practise first on logs on the ground or attached to trestles, in order to get familiar with the machine and the most suitable cutting techniques.

- Carefully open the fuel tank cap to allow the pressure inside to decrease gradually. Use a funnel to refill and avoid filling the tank to the brim.
WARNING! cap firmly.
Always close the fuel tank The tension is correct when the drive links do not slip out of the chain guides if you hold the chain in the middle of the bar (Fig. 5).
WARNING!
Immediately clean all traces of fuel which may have dripped on the machine or the ground and do not start the gine until the petrol fumes have dissipated.
3. CHAIN LUBRICANT
IMPORTANT
Only use special oil for chain saws or adhesive oil for chain saws. Do not use oil containing impurities so as not to block the oil filter and to prevent irreparable damage to the oil
- Machines with standard chain tension adjuster en-
- Loosen the cover nuts, using the supplied wrench (Fig. 4).
- Turn the chain tension adjuster screw (4) to adjust the chain tension (Fig. 4).
- Raise the bar and tighten the guard nuts se- paincurely using the wrench (Fig. 5).
• Machines with quick chain tension adjuster (SP 375Q, SP 405Q, C 38 T, C 41 T)
IMPORTANT
The special oil for lubricat-
ing the chain is biodegradable. Use of a mineral oil or engine oil causes serious damage to the ronment.
It is essential that you use good quality oil to lubricate the cutting parts effectively. Used or poor quality oil does not guarantee good lubrication and reduces the duration of the chain and bar.
It is always worth topping up the oil tank completely (using a funnel) every time you refuel. Since the oil tank capacity is enough to guarantee that the fuel runs out first, you will avoid the risk of operating the machine without lubricant.
4. CHECKING THE MACHINE
Before starting work please:
- fill the relevant tanks with fuel and oil;
- check that all the screws on the machine and the bar are tightly fastened;
- check that the chain is sharp and there are no signs of any damage;
- check that the air filter is clean;
- check that handgrips and protection devices are clean and dry, correctly mounted and well fastened to the machine;
– check that the handgrips are well fastened;
– check that the chain brake is working efficiently; - check the chain tension;
– checking functional of the clutch: Before each use, confirm that there is no chain movement when the chain saw running at idling speed.
5. CHECKING THE CHAIN TENSION
WARNING!
Perform all operations
with the engine off.
enloosen the handle (11) (Fig. 4A).
- Turn the ring-nut (15) to obtain the desired chain tension level (Fig. 5A).
- Raise the bar and tighten the handle (11) securely (Fig. 5A).
This machine is equipped with a safety brake system.
In the event of a kickback while working, following an irregular contact of the tip of the bar, with a brusque upward movement that causes the hand to strike the front guard. In this case, the brake blocks chain movement and must be released manually in order to disengage it.
This brake can be operated manually by pushing the front guard forward. To release the brake, pull the front guard towards the handgrip until you hear a click.
To check that the brake works efficiently, proceed as follows:
- Make sure you are holding the machine firmly with both hands when you start the engine
- Use the accelerator level to keep the chain moving, push the brake lever forwards using the back of you left hand; the chain must stop immediately.

USE OF THE ENGINE (Fig. 10)
IMPORTANT
Always disengage the chain brake, pulling the lever towards you before using the accelerator.
The chain speed is regulated by the throttle trigger (1) on the rear handgrip (2).
The throttle trigger only works if the lockout (3) is pressed at the same time.
The movement is transmitted from the engine to the chain by a centrifugal mass clutch that prevents the chain from moving when the engine is running at minimum speed.
This product has accordingly been designed with a ventilation hatch on the right side of the surface of the cylinder cover to allow warm air to be supplied to the engine and to thereby prevent icing from occurring.
Under normal circumstances the product should be used in the normal operating mode, i.e., in the mode which it is set at the time of shipment. However when the possibility exists that icing may occur, the unit should be set to operate in the anti-freeze mode before use.
WARNING! Do not use the machine if the chain moves when the engine is running idle; in this case, contact your dealer.
The correct running speed will be achieved by pressing the throttle trigger (1) as far as possible.
IMPORTANT Avoid using the engine at power for the first 6-8 working hours.
STOPPING THE ENGINE (Fig. 10)
To stop the engine:
- Release the throttle trigger (1) and allow the engine to run idle for a few seconds.
- Set the switch (4) to «STOP».
WARNING! When you have reduced speed to a minimum, it may take a few seconds for the chain to stop.
IMPORTANT If the machine does not off, pull the starter to flood and stop the immediately contact the dealer to find the the problem and request necessary repairs.
To switch from "Normal" mode to "Anti-freeze" mode (and vice versa) (Fig. 11):
- Switch the engine off.
- Remove the air filter cover (1) and the air filter (2).
- Remove the choke (3) from the cylinder cover full^(4) .
- Unscrew the screws (5) which secure the cylinder cover in place (three screws inside and one outside) and remove the cylinder cover.
- Use your fingers to press the anti-freeze cap (6) on the right side of the cylinder cover and slide it out from its seat.
- Turn the anti-freeze cap (6) so that the "SNOW" symbol is facing upwards and then replace the cap.
- Replace the cylinder cover and all the other parts in their original position.
NOTE If the machine is used in anti-freeze mode at higher temperatures, this may cause difficulties when starting the engine and driving use due to the incorrect engine speed. Always check that the machine is switched to normal m (with the "SUN" symbol facing upwards) if there no danger of ice forming.
USING THE ANTI-FREEZE DEVICE (excluding C 46 - XC 246 - C 50 - CP 45 - A 455 - MC 846 models) (Fig. 11)
Operating chain saws in temperatures of 0 – 5°C at times of high humidity may result in ice forming within the carburetor, and this in turn may cause the output power of the engine to be reduced or for the engine to fail to operate smoothly.
7. USING THE MACHINE
IMPORTANT
Always remember that an correctly used chain-saw may disturb others have a serious impact on the environment.
IMPORTANT
During the first period of use and after replacing the chain), it must be checke more frequently due to settling of the chain.
To respect people and the environment:
WARNING!

e IMPORTANT

WARNING!
Always wear suitable clothing when using the machine. Your dealer can provide you with all the information on the most suitable accident-prevention devices to guarantee your safety. Wear anti-vibration gloves. All the above-mentioned precautions do not however guarantee the prevention of certain risks – i.e. Raynaud's phenomenon or Carpal tunnel syndrome. For operators who use this machine for prolonged periods, it is therefore recommended to have periodic check-ups on the hands and fingers. If any of the above mentioned symptoms should appear, please contact a physician immediately.
WARNING!
Make sure the bar and the chain are in place when you check the oil delivery.
Start the engine, keep it running at medium power and check if the chain oil is delivered as shown in the figure (Fig. 12).
You can adjust the chain oil flow using a screw-driver on the adjuster screw (1 or 1a) of the oiler, which is on the bottom of the machine (Fig. 12).
2. DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND CUTTING TECHNIQUES

WARNING!
It takes specific training to use the machine for felling and delimbing.
Before felling or delimbing for the first time, practise sawing logs on the ground or on trestles, so that you can get familiar with the machine and the most suitable sawing techniques.
1. CHECKS DURING WORK
- Checking the chain tension
The chain tends to stretch gradually as you work, so you need to check its tension frequently.
WARNING!
When running, the machine must always be firmly held in both hands, with the left hand on the front handgrip and the right hand on the rear handgrip, even if the operator is left-handed.
WARNING!
Stop the engine immedi-
ately if the chain stops during sawing. Beware of kickback, which can occur if the bar contacts an obstacle.
- Delimbing (Fig. 13)
- Bucking (Fig. 15)
WARNING!
Be careful of where the
branches are lying on the ground, the risk of them being under tension, the direction the branch may go during cutting and the risk of the tree being unstable after the branch has been cut.
WARNING!
Make sure there is nothing
or nobody in the area where the branches will fall.
- Check the direction in which the branch is attached to the tree
-
First cut on the side where the branch bends and then finish cutting on the opposite side.
-
Stand opposite the branch you want to cut.
- Start cutting lower branches followed by the higher ones.
- Cut downwards to prevent the bar from getting jammed.
- Sawing logs (Fig. 16)
It is easier to saw a log using the spiked bumper.
- Dig the spiked bumper into the log and use it as a pivot. Cut with an arched motion to make the bar penetrate the wood.
- Repeat several times if necessary, changing the point where you plant the spiked bumper.
• Felling (Fig. 14)
WARNING!
When felling on slopes, al-
ways stand uphill from the tree and check that the felled trunk cannot cause damage if it rolls out up to half the diameter, roll the log over and finishing sawing on the other side. down the hill.
- Sawing a log on the ground (Fig. 17)
- Decide where the tree should fall – you should consider the wind, the natural lean of the tree, the position of the heaviest branches and how easy the work is after felling, etc.
- Clear the area around the tree and find a stable place to stand.
-
Plan obstacle-free escape routes at a 45^ angle back and away from the direction of fall. These routes must allow you reach a safe area at a distance of about 2.5 times the length of the tree to be felled.
-
On the side of the fall, mark a felling notch around a third of the trunk's diameter.
-
Cut the tree on the other side, slightly above the bottom of the notch, leaving the uncut wood to act as a "hinge" (1) of approx. 5-10 cm.
-
Reduce the thickness of this hinge without pulling out the bar, until the tree falls.
-
In particular or unstable conditions, you can complete felling by inserting wedges (2) on the opposite side of the fall, and hitting them with a hammer until the tree falls.
- Sawing a raised log (Fig. 18)
- If you are sawing the overhanging end of a supported log (A), first cut a third of the diameter from the bottom upwards, then finish from the top.
- If you are sawing between two supports (B), cut a third of the diameter from the top downwards, then finish from the bottom.
Use a spiked bumper when cutting trees and thick branches can ensure your safety and decrease the branches can ensure your safety and decrease the working strength and vibration level.
3. END OF OPERATIONS
When you have finished your work:
- Switch off the engine as indicated above (Chap. 6).
- Wait for the chain to stop and allow the machine to cool.
- Loosen the rod fastening nuts to reduce chain tension.
-
Remove any traces of sawdust or oil deposits from the chain.
-
If there is excessive dirt or resin build-up, disassemble the chain and place it in a container with a specific cleanser. Then rinse it with clean water and treat it with a suitable anticorrosive spray, before reassembling on the machine.
- Fit the bar cover before reassembling the machine.
WARNING! Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure. To reduce fire hazards, clean the machine thoroughly to get rid of any sawdust, branches, leaves or excess grease, never leave containers with the cut debris inside the storage area.

To avoid overheating and damage to the engine, always keep the cooling air vents clean and free of sawdust and debris.
LUBRICATION HOLE (Fig. 21)
Periodically remove the casing (as illustrated in Chap. 4.1) remove the bar and check that neither the machine lubrication holes (1) or the bar (2) are clogged.
CHAIN CATCHER
This is an important safety device that restrains the chain if it breaks or degrooves.
Regularly check the condition of the pin and replace it if damaged.
NUTS AND SCREWS
Periodically check that all the nuts and screws are securely tightened and the handgrips are tightly fastened.
It is recommended that daily inspection before use and after dropping or other impacts to identify significant damage or defects.
The spark plug must be replaced with one with the same characteristics whenever the electrodes have burnt or the insulation has worn, and in any case every 100 working hours.
TUNING THE CARBURETTOR
The carburettor is tuned by the manufacturer to achieve maximum performance in all situations, with a minimum emission of toxic gas in compliance with the regulations in force.
When performance is poor, first check that the chain runs smoothly and the bar rails are not distorted, then contact your dealer to check the carburetion and the engine.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER (Fig. 22)
IMPORTANT
Cleaning the air filter is es-
sential to guarantee the efficiency and duration of
the machine. Do not work with a damaged tool without a filter, as this could permanently damage the engine.
It must be cleaned after every 8-10 working hours.
To clean the filter:
- Release the tab (1) and remove the cover (2).
- Unscrew the knob (2a), remove the filter element (3) and tap it gently to remove any dirt and clean it with a brush if necessary.
- If it is completely clogged, separate the two parts (3a and 3b) with a screwdriver and wash them in clean petrol. If you are using compressed air, aim the jet so that it blows from the inside towards the outside.
- Reassemble the filter element's two parts pushing on the edges until you hear a click.

SHARPENING THE CHAIN
WARNING!
To ensure that the chain-
saw works safely and efficiently, it is essential that the cutting components are well-sharpened.
Sharpening is necessary when:
• The sawdust looks like dust.
• Cutting becomes more difficult.
• The cut is not straight.
• Vibrations increase.
- Fuel consumption increases.
WARNING!
If the chain is not suffi-
ciently sharpened, the kick-back's risk increases.
A specialized centre will sharpen the chain using the right tools to ensure minimum removal of material and even sharpness on all the cutting edges.
If you sharpen the chain yourself, use special round-section files with the right diameter depending on the type of chain (see "Chain Maintenance Table"). You need a certain amount of skill and experience to avoid damaging the cutting edges.
Chain maintenance table

WARNING!
The specifications of the chain and the bar homologated for this machine
are shown in the "EC Conformity Statement" provided. Do not use other types of chains or bars for safety reasons.
The table gives the sharpening data for different types of chains, but this does not mean you can use different chains from the homologated one.

- Switch off the engine, release the chain brake and secure the bar with the chain in a vice so that the chain can run smoothly.
- Tighten the chain if it is loose.
- Mount the file in the guide and then insert it in the tooth at a constant angle from the cutting edge.
- Sharpen in a forward motion a few times and repeat this on all the cutting edges facing the same way (right or left).
- Turn the bar over in the vice and repeat on all the other cutting edges.
- Check that the limiter tooth does not stick out further than the inspection instrument and file any projecting parts with a flat file, rounding off the edge.
- After sharpening, remove all traces of filing and dust and lubricate the chain in an oil bath.
Replace the chain whenever:
- The length of the cutting edges reduces to 5 mm or less;
- There is too much play between the links and the rivets.
BAR MAINTENANCE (Fig. 25)
To avoid asymmetrical wear on the bar, make sure it is turned over periodically.
To keep the bar in perfect working order, proceed as follows:
- grease the bearings on the nose sprocket (if present) with the syringe;
– Clean the bar groove with the scraper (not included);
– clean the lubrication holes; - with a flat file, remove burr from the edges and level off the guides.
Replace the bar whenever:
- the groove is not as deep as the height of the drive links (which must never touch the bottom);
- the inside of the guide is worn enough to make the chain lean to one side.
All maintenance operations not foreseen in this manual must be performed exclusively by your dealer.
All and any operations performed in unauthorised centres or by unqualified persons will totally invalidate the warranty.
STORAGE
After every work stint, clean the machine thoroughly to remove all dust and debris, and repair or replace any faulty parts.

3) Motornu pilu nemojte nikada držati samo jednom rukom! Stroj čvrsto držite objema rukama
kako bi ga mogli imati pod kontrolom te smanjili opasnost od povratnog udarca.
