risk of injury to oneself or others.

DANGER!

Non-observance will result in the

risk of serious injury or death to oneself or others.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING!

Read all safety warnings and all

instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Dirty or cluttered areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, 4 such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust a) fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Wear protective clothing. Always wear protective goggles. Using personal protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, safety helmets or hearing protectors will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the «off»-position before connecting to power source, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch «ON» invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

Power tool use and care

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. g, Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account

the working conditions and the work to be performed. Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, Use of the power tool for operations different from those in-kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator.

• 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.

IMPORTANT

Always remember that an incorrectly used electric chain-saw may disturb others and have a serious impact on the environment.

To respect people and the environment:

• Avoid using the machine in environments or at times of the day when it may disturb others.
• Scrupulously comply with local regulations and provisions for the disposal of waste materials after sawing.
• Scrupulously comply with local regulations and provisions for the disposal of oils, damaged parts or any elements which have a strong impact on the environment.
• A certain amount of chain lubricating oil is released into the environment when the machine is running, so only use biodegradable oils made specifically for this use.
• To avoid the risk of fire, do not leave the machine with the engine hot on leaves or dry grass.

WARNING!

It takes specific training to use the machine for felling and delimbing.

1. CHECKS DURING WORK

- Checking the chain tension

The chain tends to stretch gradually as you so you need to check its tension frequently.

IMPORTANT

During the first period of use

(or after replacing the chain), it must be checked more frequently due to settling of the chain.

WARNING!

Never work with the chain

loose, as it can be hazardous if the chain slips out of its guides.

2. DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND CUTTING TECHNIQUES

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.

WARNING!

Always hold the machine

with both hands when sawing.

WARNING!

Stop the engine immedia-

tely if the chain stops during sawing. Beware of kickback, which can occur if the bar con-

- Checking the oil delivery

IMPORTANT

Never use the machine with-

out lubrication! You can check the oil level in the tank through the transparent gauge. Make sure you fill up the oil tank every time you use the machine.

WARNING!

Make sure the bar and the

chain are in place when you check the oil delivery.

Start the engine and check if the chain oil is delivered as shown in the figure (Fig. 13).

- Shutdown whilst working (Only for C 2.2 E/ET - SE 2216 / 2216 Q - A 220 EQ)

Your chain saw is designed with an overload protection with circuit breaker. If the chain saw is clogged (e.g. blocking of the cutting means, chain teeth jammed, overload cutting) during the cutting operation, the overload circuit breaker will cut the mains power supply automatically to protect your M chain saw.

IMPORTANT

The circuit breaker will be

activated when the cutting current is over 35-40A, and it can be reset manually by pressing the reset button (1.15) 30 seconds after it has cooled completely.

- Felling a tree

• When bucking and felling operations are being performed by two or more persons at the same time, the felling operations should be separated from the bucking operation by a distance of at least twice the height of the tree being felled. Trees should not be felled in a manner that would endanger any person, strike any utility line or cause any property damage. If the tree does make contact with any utility line, the company should be notified immediately.
• The chain saw operator should keep on the up-hill side of the terrain as the tree is likely to roll slide downhill after it is felled.
• An escape path should be planned and cleared as necessary before cuts are started. The e- li- scape path should extend back and diagonally to the rear of the expected line of fall as illustrated in Figure 15.
• Before felling is started, consider the natural lean of the tree, the location of larger branches and the wind direction to judge which way the tree will fall.
  Q) Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire from the tree.

- Notching undercut

Make the notch 1/3 the diameter of the tree, perpendicular to the direction of falls as illustrated in Figure 16.

Make the lower horizontal notching cut first.

his will help to avoid pinching either the saw chain or the guide bar when the second notch is being made.

- Felling back cut

• Make the felling back cut at least 50 mm higher than the horizontal notching cut as illustrated in Figure 16. Keep the felling back cut parallel to the horizontal notching cut. Make the felling back cut so enough wood is left to act as a hinge. -T hinge wood keeps the tree from twisting and falling in the wrong direction. Do not cut through the hinge.
• As the felling gets close to the hinge, the tree should begin to fall. If there is any chance that tree may not fall in desired direction or it may rock back and bind the saw chain, stop cutting before the felling back cut is complete and use wedges of wood, plastic or aluminium to open the cut and drop the tree along the desired line of fall.
• When the tree begins to fall remove the chain saw from the cut, stop the motor, put the chain saw down, then use the retreat path planned. B alert for overhead limbs falling and watch your footing.

- When the log is supported on both ends, as illustrated in Figure 18C, cut 1/3 the diameter from the top (overbuck). Then make the finished cut by underbucking the lower 2/3 to meet the first cut.

He is easier to saw a log using the spiked bumper (Figure 18D).

• 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.

When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the log, as illustrated in Figure 19. When "cutting through", to maintain complete control release the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the chain saw handles. Don't let the chain contact the ground.

- Limbing a tree

After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you move the chain saw. Always stop the motor before moving from tree to tree.

Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen tree. When limbing leave larger lower limbs to support the log off the ground. Remove the small limbs

in one cut as illustrated in Figure 17. Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the chain saw.

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.

- Bucking a log

Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to make sure your footing is firm and your weight is evenly distributed on both feet. When possible, the log should be raised and supported by the use of limbs, logs or chocks. Follow the simple direc-bef-tions for easy cutting.

• When the log is supported along its entire len as illustrated in Figure 18A, it is cut from the (overbuck).
• When the log is supported on one end, as illustrated in Figure 18B, cut 1/3 the diameter from the underside (underbuck). Then make the finished cut by overbucking to meet the first cut.

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.
• 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.

8. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

WARNING!

For your safety and that

of others:

• Correct maintenance is essential to maintain the original efficiency and safety of the machine over time.
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
• 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.

WARNING!

During maintenance oper-

ations:

• Unplug the machine from the mains.
• Use protective gloves when handling the bar and chain.
• Keep the bar protection devices on, except when intervening directly on the bar or the chain.
• Never dispose of oils or other polluting materials in unauthorised places.

Regularly check the condition of the chain catcher and replace it if it gets damaged.

5. NUTS AND SCREWS

Periodically check that all the nuts and screws are securely tightened and the handgrips are tightly fastened.

6. SHARPENING THE CHAIN

WARNING!

WARNING! To ensure that the chain-saw works safely and efficiently, it is essential that the cutting components are well-sharpened. Any work on the chain and bar requires specific skills and special tools in order to do the work properly. For safety purposes, we recommend you contact your Dealer.

Sharpening is necessary when:

• The sawdust looks like dust.
• Cutting becomes more difficult.
- The cut is not straight.
• Vibrations increase.

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.

1. ENGINE COOLING

To avoid overheating and damage to the engine, Replace the chain whenever:

ways keep the cooling air vents clean and free of sawdust and debris.

2. CHAIN BRAKE

Regularly check the efficiency of the chain brake.

3. CHAIN SPROCKET (Fig. 20)

• The length of the cutting edges reduces to 5 mm or less;
• There is too much play between the links and the rivets.
