A chain with incorrect tension and lubrication can break and increase the risk of kickback.

2.5.1. UNEXPECTED FORCES WHILE WORKING WITH

THE CHAINSAW Always be alert while cutting with the chainsaw and watch for possible unforeseen reaction forces. The unforeseen reaction forces that occur in a chainsaw are kickback and kickback. These forces can unbalance the user and lead to dangerous situations.

The contact of the tip of the bar can in certain cases cause a sudden reverse reaction, propelling the bar up and back towards the operator called REBOUND. A kickback of the chainsaw may occur if an object is touched by the cutting chain in the area of the tip of the bar while it is running. The contact of the chain at the tip of the bar can cause an unforeseen reaction force that can propel the tip of the bar upwards, generating a movement in the rotating chain saw that can cause the chain bar to collide with the user. . This reaction can cause loss of control of the machine and cause severe bodily harm.

2.5.1.2. FORWARD PULL

Kickback can occur when the tip or tip of the bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cutting section. A “Forward Pull” can occur when the chain stops abruptly due to being caught in the cutting area by a foreign body in the wood or because the chain is not being cut properly. The chain, when stopped, pushes the chainsaw forward which, if it is not correctly held against the branch or tree by the claw, produces an unexpected pull that can cause the user to lose control of the chainsaw, cause him to fall forward and produce severe bodily harm.

Trapping the saw chain on the top of the bar can quickly push the bar back towards the operator. The chain, when stopped, pushes the chainsaw backwards (Reverse) which, if it is not correctly held against the branch or tree by the claw, produces an unexpected push that can cause the user to lose control of the chainsaw, cause it to fall backwards and cause severe bodily harm. Any of these reactions can cause you to lose control of the saw, which can lead to a serious bodily injury. Do not rely exclusively on the safety devices built into your chainsaw. As a chainsaw user, you should take steps to eliminate the risk of accident or injury when cutting. These reaction forces result from tool misuse and / or improper operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking the appropriate precautions specified below:

• Hold the saw firmly with your thumb and fingers enclosing the handle of the chainsaw and position your body and arms to allow it to resist unexpectedEnglish English 29/84 forces. Unexpected forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. If you experience unexpected force, do not let go of the chainsaw and release the throttle trigger.

• Don’t extend your arm too far. This helps prevent inadvertent arm contact and allows better control of the chainsaw in unforeseen situations.

• Use only replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains can lead to chain breakage and / or unforeseen forces and injury to the user.

• Follow the instructions regarding sharpening and maintenance of the saw chain. A decrease in the depth gauge level can lead to an increase in unforeseen forces and injury to the user.

• Always be aware of where the tip of the chain bar is.

• Pay attention so that the tip of the bar does not touch any object.

• Do not cut branches with the tip of the bar.

• Make sure there are no nails or pieces of metal in the cutting area and pay special attention to nails or pieces of iron that may be around the cutting area. Also be careful when cutting hardwoods where the chain can snag causing the chain to lock up and kick back.

• Cut only one branch or piece of wood at a time.

• Be extremely cautious when driving the saw chain into a cut already started to continue.

• Do not cut with the chainsaw until you are familiar with the cutting technique.

• Do not cut branches or pieces of wood that may change position during the cut or that may close the cut while it is being made.

• Keep the chain in good condition.

• Only work if the chain is sharp and correctly tensioned.

• Never stand in the cutting plane of the chainsaw. 2.6. SERVICE Periodically have your machine serviced by a qualified repair service using only identical replacement parts.

6.5. CHECK POINTS BEFORE START-UP

Before starting work, always check that the chainsaw is working properly and that it is operating safely. Check the machine for loose parts (bolts, nuts, housings, etc ...) and damage. Tighten, repair, or replace parts that you have found to be in poor condition. Make sure there are no oil leaks or leaks. Do not use the machine if it is damaged or incorrectly set.

Use only special oil for chain saw chains. Do not use used oils or oils with impurities as this could damage the oil pump of the machine. The chain oil must be filled into the chain oil reservoir. To prevent dirt from entering the tank, clean the oil tank cap (5) before opening it. Close the oil cap (5) by tightening it and clean if oil has spilled out of the tank.English English 35/84 Note: The service life of chainsaw chains and guide bars is highly dependent on the quality of the lubricant used. Old oil must not be used! Use only environmentally friendly chain lubricant. Store chain lubricant only in containers that comply with regulations.

6.3.2. CHAIN TENSIONING

Always disconnect the battery from the chainsaw before doing any work on it. To avoid injury to sharp cutting edges, always wear gloves when mounting, tensioning, or checking the chain. Chain tensioning:

1. Make sure the chain is inside the guide groove of

3. Using the screwdriver, turn

clockwise to tension the chain or counterclockwise to loosen it until the chain tension is correct. a. Example (A) corresponds to a chain that is too tight. b. Example (B) corresponds to a chain that is too loose.

Then press the safety button (8) and then the trigger (9) Machine disconnection: Release the trigger (9) and remove the battery Do not start and stop the machine repeatedly in a few seconds, it will put a lot of work on the engine, generate a lot of heat, and decrease the life of your engine and battery. We recommend that each time the machine stops, you wait at least 5 seconds before restarting it.

After starting the engine, accelerate the chainsaw until the chain rotates at medium speed and check if the chainsaw greases the chain, for this it will be worth observing that when placing the chainsaw as in the figure at medium speed, oil is released.English 36/84

7. USE OF THE MACHINE

Use this machine only for its intended use. Using this chainsaw for any other use is dangerous and can cause damage to the user and / or the machine. Cut only wood. Do not use the chainsaw for other, unforeseen purposes. For example: do not use the chainsaw to cut plastic materials, bricks, or building materials other than wood. Using the chainsaw for operations other than those intended can lead to dangerous situations. This chainsaw is not designed for forestry work (felling in forests). Stay away from the chainsaw chain when the engine is running. If you slip or lose your balance or fall, release the throttle trigger immediately. Do not rely solely on the safety features of this machine. Do not use this machine if you are fatigued, ill, have taken medication, narcotics, or alcohol. Do not expose this machine to rain or wet conditions. Water entering this machine will increase the risk of electric shock. Do not use this machine at night, in fog, or with reduced visibility that makes it difficult to see the work area. Lack of rest and fatigue can lead to accidents or damage. Limit the time of continuous use of this machine to 10 minutes and rest between 10 and 20 minutes between each session. Never leave this machine unattended. Do not allow anyone to enter the work area. This work perimeter must be 15 meters and it is a dangerous area. Holding the machine firmly by the handle will reduce the risk of kickback and increase your control over the machine. Never use the chainsaw when you are on a ladder, in a tree, or any other unstable location. Be careful when cutting thin branches or bushes. Thin branches can catch on the chain and be suddenly thrown off hitting you and knocking you off balance. If you are cutting a branch that is in tension, be aware of the possible rebound of the branch when making the cut. Check the condition of the tree to prevent dry branches from falling and hitting you while you are cutting. Clean the work area and remove all obstacles that could cause accidents. While cutting, do not let the tip of the chainsaw touch any log or obstacle. Remove the chainsaw from the wood with the chain still running. When cutting, always rest the claw of the chainsaw on the log. Pay extra attention when cutting wood that splinters. Splinters can be thrown in any direction. There is risk of injury. Never stand on the branch you are cutting. Always keep the chain sharp. Sharpen it as explained in this manual. If you make multiple cuts without letting go of the machine, always turn the chainsaw off between cuts.English English 37/84 Do not cut with the tip of the bar. There is a high risk of rebound in thecuts with the tip of the bar so they should never be made. Always set the machine on a flat and stable surface. Do not use accessories in this machine except those recommended by our company, as their use could cause severe damage to the user, to people near the machine and to the machine itself. Never drop the machine and never try to stop the chain by approaching a wood or obstacle.

7.1. MACHINE HOLDING AND GUIDING

While working always hold the chainsaw firmly with your hand on the handle.

7.2. SHARPENING THE CHAIN

The chainsaw chain dulls as cuts are made. If you observe any of the following symptoms it is time to sharpen the chain: - More effort is needed to make the cut. - The cutting path is not straight. - Vibrations increase. - When cutting, sawdust is produced instead of chips. To sharpen the chain, follow the instructions in point 8.2. ”Sharpening the chain”.

7.3. CUT WITH THE CHAINSAW

We recommend that you train with small branches in an easy position to gain experience before undertaking more complicated cuts. Always follow the safety rules that we indicate in this manual. Use this machine exclusively for cutting wood. Cutting any other type of material is prohibited. Do not use this machine to move objects. While cutting, use the machine gently. Use only slight downward pressure while keeping the machine at full power. The own weight of the machine will be sufficient to carry out the cut. If the chain locks, do not try to pull the saw while it is running. Stop the chainsaw and use a wedge to free the chainsaw.

7.3.1. CUTTING A LOG RESTING ON THE GROUND

When a log is fully supported on the ground, first cut half of the log from above, then turn half a turn and cut the rest. If the log is supported on the sides (Zone B) you should make a cut from the top halfway (1) and then cut the rest from below (2). In this way you will prevent the internal tension of the log from closing the cut by blocking the chain and the bar of the chainsaw. If you are going to make a cut in a log supported by one end (Zone A) you should proceed in reverse. First cut half of the log from the bottom (1) and then finish the cut from the top (2).English 38/84

7.3.2. CUTTING THE BRANCHES OF A FELLED TREE

It is important to verify that the bouquets are not folded and / or in tension. If the branch to be cut is bent or in tension, it may jump out when you are cutting it. To cut a limb, in this case, cut ¼ of the whole limb from the side where the limb is in compression and then cut the rest of the limb from the side that is in tension (following diagram) . This will prevent the tension of the branch from closing the cut and blocking the chainsaw bar and chain.

7.3.3. CUTTING A BRANCH OF A TREE

To cut a tree limb that does not touch the ground always start with a cut of ¼ of the diameter of the branch from the bottom (1) and then cut the rest from the top (2). This way you will help the aperture of the cut and that the branch does not pull and damage the tree trunk.

7.3.5. BRANCH CUTTING OR SMALL TRUNK CUTTING

When cutting branches or small trunks use a strong support such as an easel. Never hold the trunk by using your feet or asking someone else to hold the wood for you.

8. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

The removal of security mechanisms, an inappropriate maintenance, the substitution of the bar and chain with non original spares could cause severe corporal damages. Always carry out maintenance work with the machine unplugged from the mains. Carry out the following maintenance checks prior to working as well as when finishing your job to ensure the good functioning of this machine in the future.

8.1. EXIT ORIFICE OF THE CHAIN OIL

Dismount the bar and check that the oil orifice is not clogged.

8.2. SHARPNESS OF CHAIN TEETH

Attention!: An incorrectly sharpened chain increases the risk of kick back as well as increasing the vibration level and possible accidents! To ensure that the machine cuts correctly, maintain the chain sharpened. You must also sharpen the chain if:

• You must place more pressure to cut.

• The cut is not straight.

• There is an increase of the vibration levels.

• When cutting instead of splinters you see shavings.English English 39/84 Do not forget to always use security gloves when sharpening the chain. Make sure the chain is placed correctly once it has been sharpened. Use a special file for chainsaws when sharpening the chain. Place the file between points (A) and (B) and push the file forward maintaining a 30 angle. File all the teeth of the chain in the same manner, filing forward at a 30 angle. Check the security height (C), this height must be some 0.6mm approximately. A height (C) larger than 0.6mm will cause the chain to bite the wood and will require a higher work rate from the engine and a lower height will mean that the chain will cut badly. Verify the length of the cutting teeth. All teeth must have the same length. If necessary file the teeth until all of them have the same length. 8.3. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE Do periodic maintenance inspections on the machine to guarantee an efficient use of the machine. For a complete check up, we highly recommend that you take the machine to your after sales service. Maintain the machine clean, specially the ventilating areas of the engine. Before carrying out any maintenance work, make sure that the machine is not switched to the mains. Always use original spare parts so as to guarantee the best possible performance of the machine and so as to avoid dangers and risks to the user and the machine. These spare parts should be bought at the after sales service. The use of non original spare parts can cause accidents, personal damage to the user and breakage of the machine.

8.3.1. MAINTENANCE OF THE BAR

Turn the bar regularly so that it does not only wear out from one end. The guide of the bar must always be in perfect conditions. Verify that it maintains the same thickness in all the bar. Replace the bar if necessary. Check that there no fissures and tha the level of looseness is not big. If looseness is big or it has some fissure, change the bar. When you unmount the bar, remove any wood splinters or shavings near the lubrication hole and on the guide of the bar.English 40/84

The pinion has a high level of wear. Check the pinion periodically and if you detect wear or loss of material, do not hesitate to take the machine to your after sales service.English English 41/84 Depending on the symptons that you may observe, you will be able to know the probable cause of the problem and how to solve the problem.

Problem Cause Action The engine stops when started The battery is not connected properly Connect the battery Chain brake activated Check chain brake and remove if necessary.
