– c eck t at t e c ain brake is working efficient-
ly.
PREPARING THE FUEL
T is mac ine is fitted wit a two-stroke engine
w ic requires a mixture of petrol and lubricating
oil.
Using pet ol alone will dam-
age the moto and will cause fo invalidation of the
wa anty.
Only use quality fuels and
oils to maintain high pe fo mance and gua antee
the du ation of the mechanical pa ts ove time.
• P trol charact ristics
Only use unleaded petrol wit a fuel grade of at
least 90 N.O.
Unleaded pet ol tends to
c eate deposits in the containe if p ese ved fo
mo e than 2 months. Always use f esh pet ol!
• Oil charact ristics
Only use top quality synt etic oil specifically for
two-stroke engines.
Your dealer can provide you wit oils w ic ave
been specifically developed for t is type of
engine, and w ic are capable of guaranteeing a
ig level of protection.
T e use of t ese oils makes it possible to prepare
a 2% mixture, consisting in 1 part oil to 50 parts
petrol.
IMPORTANT

• Pr paration and pr s rvation of th fu l
mixtur
Petro and the fue mixture are high y inf am-
mab e!
– Keep the petro and fue mixture in homo o-
gated fue containers, in safe p ace, away
from any f ames or heat sources.
– Never eave the containers within the reach
of chi dren.
– Never smoke whi st preparing the mixture
and avoid inha ing the petro fumes.
T e c art indicates t e amount of petrol and oil to
use to prepare t e fuel mixture according to t e
type of oil used.
To prepare t e fuel mixture:
– Place about alf t e amount of petrol in a
omologated tank
– Add all t e oil, according to t e c art.
– Add t e rest of t e petrol.
– Close t e top and s ake well.
The fuel mixtu e tends to
age. Do not p epa e excessive amounts of the
fuel mixtu e to avoid deposits f om fo ming.
Keep the pet ol and fuel

CHAIN LUBRICANT
Only use special oil fo
chain saws o adhesive oil fo chain saws. Do not
use oil containing impu ities so as not to block the
oil filte and to p event i epa able damage to the
oil pump.
The special oil fo lub icat-
ing the chain is biodeg adable. Use of a mine al
oil o engine oil causes se ious damage to the
envi onment.
It is essential t at you use good quality oil to lubri-
cate t e cutting parts effectively. Used or poor
quality oil does not guarantee good lubrication
and reduces t e duration of t e c ain and bar.
It is always wort topping up t e oil tank com-
pletely (using a funnel) every time you refuel.
Since t e oil tank capacity is enoug to guarantee
t at t e fuel runs out first, you will avoid t e risk of
operating t e mac ine wit out lubricant.

7. USING THE MACHINE

– Use t e accelerator level to keep t e c ain mov-
ing, pus t e brake lever forwards using t e
back of you left and; t e c ain must stop im-
mediately.
– W en t e c ain as stopped, immediately re-
lease t e accelerator lever.
– Release t e brake.
CHECKING THE CHAIN TENSION
T e c ain tends to stretc gradually as you work,
so you need to c eck its tension frequently.
Never work with the chain
oose, as it can be hazardous if the chain s ips
out of its guides.
CHECKING THE OIL DELIVERY
Neve use the machine with-
out lub ication! The oil tank may get almost empty
eve y time the fuel uns out. Make su e you top up
the oil tank eve y time you efuel the chain-saw.
Make sure the bar and the
chain are in p ace when you check the oi de-
ivery.
Start t e engine, keep it running at medium power
and c eck if t e c ain oil is delivered as s own in
t e figure (Fig. 12).
You can adjust t e c ain oil flow using a screw-
driver on t e adjuster screw (1 or 1a) of t e oiler,
w ic is on t e bottom of t e mac ine (Fig. 12).
DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND CUTTING
TECHNIQUES
Before felling or delimbing for t e first time, practise
sawing logs on t e ground or on trestles, so t at
you can get familiar wit t e mac ine and t e most
suitable sawing tec niques.
When running, the ma-
chine must a ways be firm y he d in both
hands, with the right hand on the front hand-
grip and the eft hand on the rear handgrip,
even if the operator is eft-handed.
Stop the engine immedi-
ate y if the chain stops during sawing. Beware
of kickback, which can occur if the bar con-
tacts an obstac e.
WARNING!
WARNING!
IMPORTANT
WARNING!
WARNING!
Kickback occurs when the tip of the chain
comes in contact with an object or when the
wood contracts and jams the chain during
sawing.
This contact with the tip of the chain can cause
a rapid backward motion, pushing the guide
bar up and towards the operator. This a so
happens when the chain is jammed a ong the
upper part of the bar. In both cases, kickback
can cause the operator to ose contro of the
chain-saw, eading to serious consequences.
•D limbing (Fig. 13)
Make sure there is nothing
or nobody in the area where the branches wi
fa .
1. Stand opposite t e branc you want to cut.
2. Start cutting lower branc es followed by t e
ig er ones.
3. Cut downwards to prevent t e bar from getting
jammed.
•F lling (Fig. 14)
When fe ing on s opes, a -
ways stand uphi from the tree and check that
the fe ed trunk cannot cause damage if it ro s
down the hi .
1. Decide w ere t e tree s ould fall – you s ould
consider t e wind, t e natural lean of t e tree,
t e position of t e eaviest branc es and ow
easy t e work is after felling, etc.
2. Clear t e area around t e tree and find a stable
place to stand.
3. Plan obstacle-free escape routes at a 45° angle
back and away from t e direction of fall. T ese
routes must allow you reac a safe area at a dis-
tance of about 2.5 times t e lengt of t e tree to
be felled
4. On t e side of t e fall, mark a felling notc
around a t ird of t e trunk’s diameter.
5. Cut t e tree on t e ot er side, slig tly above t e
bottom of t e notc , leaving t e uncut wood to
act as a “ inge” (1) of approx. 5-10 cm.
6. Reduce t e t ickness of t is inge wit out
pulling out t e bar, until t e tree falls.

7. In particular or unstable conditions, you can
complete felling by inserting wedges (2) on t e
opposite side of t e fall, and itting t em wit a
ammer until t e tree falls.
•Bucking (Fig. 15)
Be carefu of where the
branches are ying 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 unstab e after the branch has
been cut..
1. C eck t e direction in w ic t e branc is at-
tac ed to t e tree
2. First cut on t e side w ere t e branc bends
and t en finis cutting on t e opposite side.
•Sawing logs (Fig. 16)
It is easier to saw a log using t e spiked bumper.
1. Dig t e spiked bumper into t e log and use it as
a pivot. Cut wit an arc ed motion to make t e
bar penetrate t e wood.
2. Repeat several times if necessary, c anging
t e point w ere you plant t e spiked bumper.
WARNING!
Correct maintenance is essential to maintain t e
original efficiency and safety of t e mac ine over
time.
During maintenance oper-
ations:
– Remove the spark p ug cap.
– Wait unti the engine is sufficient y co d.
– Use protective g oves when hand ing the
bar and chain.
– Keep the bar protection devices on, except

SHARPENING THE CHAIN
To ensure that the chain-
saw works safe y and efficient y, it is essentia
that the cutting components are we -sharp-
ened.
S arpening is necessary w en:
• T e sawdust looks like dust.
• Cutting becomes more difficult.
• T e cut is not straig t.
• Vibrations increase.
• Fuel consumption increases.
If the chain is not suffi-
cient y sharpened, the kick-back’s risk in-
creases.
A specialized centre will s arpen t e c ain using
t e rig t tools to ensure minimum removal of ma-
terial and even s arpness on all t e cutting edges.
If you s arpen t e c ain yourself, use special
round-section files wit t e rig t diameter de-
pending on t e type of c ain (see “C ain Mainte-

and experience to avoid damaging t e cutting
edges.
S arpen t e c ain as follows (Fig. 24):
– Switc off t e engine, release t e c ain brake
and secure t e bar wit t e c ain in a vice so t at
t e c ain can run smoot ly.
– Tig ten t e c ain if it is loose.
– Mount t e file in t e guide and t en insert it in t e

– S arpen in a forward motion a few times and re-
peat t is on all t e cutting edges facing t e same
way (rig t or left).
– Turn t e bar over in t e vice and repeat on all t e
ot er cutting edges.
– C eck t at t e limiter toot does not stick out fur-
t er t an t e inspection instrument and file any
projecting parts wit a flat file, rounding off t e
edge.
– After s arpening, remove all traces of filing and
dust and lubricate t e c ain in an oil bat .
Replace t e c ain w enever:
– T e lengt of t e cutting edges reduces to 5
