SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
General precauons
Please read this manual carefully before using the machine.
Be thoroughly familiar with the chainsaw’s controls and how to use it properly. Failure to follow instrucons can lead to physical injury.
The chainsaw is specically designed for tree care and work o the ground and as such it should only be used by trained operators.
The chainsaw may not be operated with one hand unless it is being used on the tree by a licensed operator. Use both hands to operate the chainsaw in any
other occasion.
Be alert for the bar and chain “skang” or “bouncing” and for potenal kickback risk.
Maintain good balance and secure foong. At the end of the cut, be careful to keep your balance due to the “drop”.
When working o the ground, the operator must be trained in safe climbing techniques and use of all recommended safety equipment such as harness, loops,
ropes and karabiners for himself and for the chainsaw.
When liing a chainsaw using a rope aached to a liing hook for tree operaon, make sure that the liing hook is not stressed by excessive force.
Never work alone when you are using a chainsaw. Make sure to have someone remain within calling distance in case you need help.
NOTE: If you have any quesons or other problems, please contact your local dealer or an authorised service center.
Physical condion
Do not operate when ill or red, or under the inuence of any substance which could aect your vision, dexterity or judgment. (e.g. alcohol).
You should be in a good physical and mental state in order to handle your chainsaw safely. Errors in judgment or execuon can cause serious injury.
In case of any physical ailment that may be aggravated by strenuous work, always consult your doctor before using a chainsaw.
Protecve equipment
Always wear approved safety goggles to protect your eyes. Woodchips, dust, snapping branches and other debris can be thrown from the cung chain towards
the operator’s face.
To avoid the risk of further injury to your face, it is recommended that you also wear a face shield or face screen over your goggles or protecve glasses.
If condions require the use of a venlated face shield, goggles should be worn underneath it.
Wear sound barriers (ear plugs or ear muers) to help protect your hearing. Connual and regular users should have their hearing checked regularly.
Be parcularly alert and cauous when wearing hearing protecon because your ability to hear warnings (shouts, alarms, etc.) is restricted.
Never wear loose clothing, unbuoned jackets, ared sleeves an d cus, scarfs, e stri ngs, neckes, chain s, jewelry, etc. which could becom e caught on
branches, brush or the moving parts of the chainsaw. Always secure hair above shoulder level.
Clothing must be sturdy and of protecve material. It should be snug ng but allow complete freedom of movement. Trousers should not be ared or cued,
and should be either tucked into your boots or trimmed short.
Safety vests, overalls, long pants or chaps that contain pads of cut-retardant material can also be worn to reduce the risk of cut injuries. It is the operator’s
responsibility to wear additional protection if conditions warrant it.
Always wear an approved safety helmet or cap when working with a chainsaw to reduce the risk of injury to your head from falling branches or debris. Wear
heavy duty, non-slip gloves for improved grip and for protection against cold and vibration.
Wear sturdy boots with nonslip soles. Steel-toed safety boots are recommended. Never wear sandals, ip-ops or go barefoot.
Select and use eye protecon and protecve clothing, including gloves and shoes suitable for tree climbing.
CAUTION: It is not recommended to ll your ears with any form of coon materials.
Fueling
Warning: Fuel and oil are extremely ammable. Serious personal injury and/or ignion can occur when gasoline is spilled. Extreme cauon is required,
when handling gasoline or any type of fuel.
Use an appropriate type fuel containers, approved for ammable liquids.
Do not smoke or bring ame or sparks near fuel supplies or the unit.
Eliminate all sources of sparks or ame in areas where fuel is mixed, poured or stored.
Make sure the unit is properly assembled and in good operang condion before fuelling.
The fuel tank may be under pressure. Always loosen the fuel cap and wait for pressure to be equalized before removing the cap.
When fuel tank cap or oil tank cap is dicult to remove by hand, put the aached socket wrench into the groove of cap and turn it anclockwise.
NOTE: Do not press socket wrench forcefully. Pressing forcefully can damage the tank cap. If tank cap is damaged, do not start the engine and contact your local
dealer for the appropriate spare part.

Never ll the fuel tank while the engine is hot or running.
Fill the fuel tank in outdoor areas, on level ground and always install the fuel cap securely.
Avoid spilling fuel or oil. If fuel or oil overows or drips, clean carefully before starng the engine.
Aer fueling ghten fuel cap rmly and check for leakage. In case of fuel leakage, do not start the engine, service your machine accordingly or contact an
authorised service center.
Store fuel in a cool, dry, well venlated space.
Never store the unit with fuel in its tank, to avoid the risk of re.
Have a re exnguisher or shovel with you in case of re. Despite the precauons taken, operang a chainsaw or simply working in wooded areas presents
dangers.
Starng the engine
Move the chainsaw at least 3m from the fuelling point before starng the engine.
Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw when you are starng the engine or while working with the chainsaw.
Keep bystanders, children and animals out of your work area.
Do not let anyone hold wood for you to cut.
Do not start cung unl you have a clean work area, secure foong, and a planned retreat path from any falling branches or trees.
Before you start the engine, make sure that the saw chain is not in contact with anything.
Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel mixture.
Operate the chain saw only in well-venlated areas. Exhaust fumes, oil mist (from chainsaw lubricaon) or saw dust are harmful to health.
The chain brake should be acvated when you start the chainsaw.
When starng the chain saw place the unit on a at ground and hold the front handle with le hand and hold rmly the rear end of rear handle with right knee
and pull starter handle with right hand.
Kickback
Kickback is the term used to describe the unexpected upward movement of the guide bar. Contact with the p can cause a lightning reverse reacon, kicking
the guide bar upward and back toward the operator ( rotaonal kickback). Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar can push the guide bar rapidly
backward toward the operator (linear kickback). Any of these reacons can cause you to lose control of the chainsaw and come in contact with the moving
chain, which can result in serious injury. As a chainsaw user, you should take several measures to keep your cung operaons accident free. With a basic
understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise.
Rotaonal kickback is preventable by keeping an unshielded bar nose from touching an object or the ground.
Sudden movement can lead to accidents.
Two hands must be used to control the saw at all mes. Do not operate a chain saw with one hand! Serious injury to the operator or bystanders may occur from
one-handed operaon. For proper control, always use two hands when operang a chain saw, one of which operates the trigge. Otherwise, this can result in
the chain saw “skang” or skidding, which can result in personal injury due to loss of control.
A rm grip will help you reduce kickback and maintain control of the saw. Keep a good rm grip on the chainsaw which both hands, with the right hand on
the rear handle and the le hand on the front handle, when the engine is running. Use a rm grip with thumbs and ngers encircling the chain saw handles.
Do not overreach or cut above chest height.
Make sure that the area in which you are cung is free from obstacles.
Do not let the bar nose contact a log, branch, or any other obstrucon which could be hit while you are operang the saw.
Cung at high engine speeds can reduce the chance of kickback, but cung at part-throle or low engine speeds allows beer control of the chainsaw and
can also reduce the chance of kickback.
Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instrucons for the saw chain.
Use only replacement guide bars and saw chains specied by the manufacturer or their approved equivalents.
Chain brake
Always check that chain brake works properly before use. The chain brake’s funcon is to stop chain rotaon aer a kickback. It neither prevents nor reduces
kickback. Do not depend on the chain brake for protecon against kickback. Even with normal use and proper maintenance, the response me of the brake
may lengthen. The following may interfere with the brake’s ability to protect the operator:
Chainsaw wrongly held too close to operator’s body. Kickback me may be too fast even for a perfectly maintained brake to work in me.
The operator’s hand may not be in posion to contact the hand guard. Brake will not be tripped.
Lack of proper maintenance lengthens the brake’s stopping me, making it less eecve.
EN
WWW.NIKOLAOUTOOLS.GR

Dirt, grease, oil etc. geng into the working parts of the mechanism may lengthen the stopping me.
Wear and fague of the acvang brake spring, and wear of the brake/clutch drum and pivot point may lengthen the brake’s stopping me.
A damaged hand guard and lever may render the brake inoperave.
Other safety precauons
A condion called Raynaud’s Phenomenon, which aects the ngers of certain individuals, may occur aer exposure to cold and vibraon. Accordingly, your
chainsaw has shock mounts designed to reduce the intensity of vibraon received through the handles.
Exposure to cold and vibraon may cause ngling and burning followed by loss of color and numbness in the ngers. Take the following precauons to avoid
triggering such a condion:
Keep your body warm, especially the head and neck, feet and ankles, hands and wrists.
Maintain good blood circulaon by performing vigorous arm exercises during frequent work breaks and also by not smoking.
Limit the number of hours of chain saw operaon. Try to ll a part of each work day with jobs other than chain sawing.
If you experience discomfort, redness and swelling of the ngers, followed by whitening and loss of feeling, consult your doctor before further exposing yourself
to cold and vibraon.
Over-using the muscles and tendons of the ngers, hands, arms and shoulders may cause soreness, swelling, numbness, weakness and extreme pain to these
areas. To reduce the risk of repeve stress injury, do the following:
Avoid using your wrist in a bent, extended or twisted posion. Try to maintain a straight wrist posion.
When grasping, use your whole hand, not just the thumb and index nger.
Take periodic breaks to minimize repeon and rest your hands.
Reduce the speed and force in which you do the repeve movement.
Do exercises to strengthen the hand and arm muscles.
Consult a doctor if you feel ngling, numbness or pain in the ngers, hands, wrists or arms.
Machine condion
Do not operate a chainsaw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or not completely and securely assembled.
Do not operate the chainsaw with a loose or defecve muer.
Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the throle control trigger is released.
Warning: Use only the approved spare parts and accessories. Using spare parts other than original parts, accessories and guide bar/chain combinaons or
lengths bring a high risk of accidents. We accept no liability for accidents and damage resulng from the use of unapproved sawing aachments or accessories.
Cung
Operang a chain saw safely requires a chainsaw in proper working order, sound judgement, and knowledge of the appropriate cung methods for each
situaon.
Use your chainsaw only to cut wood or wood byproducts. Do not cut solid metal, sheet metal, plascs or any non-wood materials.
Do not let any person use your chainsaw unless they have read this operator’s manual and fully understand all the safety precauons and instrucons.
Never let children operate the chainsaw.
Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the engine is running.
Use extreme cauon when cung small-size brush and saplings because slender material may catch the saw chain and and knock it towards you or pull you
o balance.
When cung a branch that is under tension, be on the lookout for a recoil so that you do not get hit by the branch or chainsaw when the tension is released.
Using a spiked bumper when cung trees and thick branches can ensure your safety and decrease the working strength and vibraon level. Push the bumper
into the trunk using the rear handle. Push the front handle in the direcon of the cung line. The spiked bumper should remain set to further guide the saw
if necessary.
Stay on the uphill side when bucking or lambing logs which might roll when cut.
Keep both feet on level ground while working. Do not work from o-the-ground posions.
Cung while on a ladder is extremely dangerous because your control of the chain saw is limited.
Do not operate a chainsaw on a tree unless you have been specically trained to do so.
Working alo should be le to professionals.
Stop the engine before seng the chain saw down.
Transportaon
Secure the machine during transport to prevent loss of fuel, damage or injury.
When transporng your chain saw, use the appropriate guide bar cover.
Carry the chain saw with the engine stopped, the guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and the muer away from your body.
Maintenance
Have all maintenance, other than the recommended procedures described in the instrucon manual, performed by an authorized service dealer.
Use only the recommended approved spare parts. Use of any other parts will void your warranty and may cause damage to your unit.
Do not use any accessory or aachment other than those recommended by the manufacturer for use with your unit.

a diameter corresponding to the guide bar length. It is only allowed to cut wood or wood byproducts. Do not use this chainsaw for logging or chopping wood
on the ground. Every other use of the machine is a not part of the intended use.
THIS MACHINE CAN ONLY BE USED BY PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED AND COMPETENT TREE CARE SPECIALISTS. The chainsaw is only intended for tree care and
maintenance under these dened condions. This chainsaw is intended to be used with both hands, like a convenonal chainsaw.
When using the chainsaw, the operator must use the necessary personal protecve equipment in accordance with the manual and the icons shown on the
chainsaw.
Safety warnings and references to proper maintenance are also considered parts of the intended use of the chainsaw. Users who work with or maintain the
chainsaw must be familiar with the manual. Use only the manufacturer’s recommended approved spare parts (guide bar; saw chain, spark plug e.g.) and the
recommended combinaons of guide bar/ saw chain as presented in the manual. Use of any other parts will void your warranty and may cause damage or
serious harm. The manufacturer is not liable for accidents caused by a combinaon of unintended use or unauthorized changes to the design of the machine.
The chain saw is intended for outdoor use only.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when following the intended use of the machine, there is always a residual risk which cannot be prevented.
Depending on the type and construcon of the machine, the following potenal hazards may be present:
• Contact with exposed saw teeth of the saw chain (Cung hazard).
• Contact with the rotang saw chain (Cung hazard).
• Abrupt movement of the guide bar (Cung hazard).
• Saw chain thrown o the guide bar (Cung hazard).
•Risk that the workpiece or parts of the workpiece are thrown out of the machine.
• Inhalaon of work-related dust, and/or emissions from the engine.

OPERATION
Fuel and oil
Fuel is a mixture of regular grade petrol and an air-cooled 2-stroke engine oil of reputable brand name.
Minimum 89 Octane unleaded petrol is recommended. Do not use fuel containing methyl alcohol or more than 10 % of ethyl alcohol.
Recommended mixture ratio: 30ml oil to 1lt gasoline
CAUTION:
• Do not mix fuel and oil directly in engine fuel tank.
• Avoid spilling petrol or oil. Spilled fuel should always be cleaned up.
• Handle petrol with care, it is highly inammable.
•Always store fuel in approved containers.
Chain lubricant
Proper lubricaon of the chain while in operaon reduces the fricon between the chain and the guide bar to a minimum and assures a longer life span. Use
only special high-quality chain oil for this purpose. Do not use used or recycled oil to avoid various problems with the oil pump.
In case of emergency, it is allowed to use motor oil for a short period of me (SAE 30-weight motor oil for lubricaon during the summer and SAE 10-weight
during the winter or for cung wood with a high resin content).

• Choke may be used if necessary, but aer rst ring sound, pull throle trigger a lile to release throle latch and shoke. Aer choke control knob is turned
and returned to original posion, throle remains a lile open (latch condion).
Cauon: The clutch is engaged and the chain rotates when the engine is started with the throle trigger pressed. Aer engine starts, release throle trigger
to idle posion.
Engine running
Aer engine starts, allow it to idle for a few minutes.
• Squeeze throle trigger gradually to increase engine speed.
• The chain starts moving when the engine reaches 460 r/min approximately.
• Ensure proper acceleraon and lubricaon of saw chain and guide bar.
• Do not run the engine at high speed unnecessarily.
• Be sure that saw chain stops moving when throle trigger is released.
Stopping the engine
1. Release throle trigger and allow engine to idle.
2. Move the ignion switch to OFF posion.
Note: If engine does not stop, slide control lever to “Cold start” posion to stop the engine. Check and repair ignion switch if necessary before starng the
engine again.
Chain tension
Chain tension should be checked frequently during work and corrected if necessary. Tension the chain as ght as possible, so it can sll be pulled easily along
the bar by hand.
Warning: Make sure that the engine is stopped when checking chain tension.
Chain lubricaon
Hold the chain just above a dry surface and open the throle to half speed for 30 seconds. A thin line of “thrown” oil should be seen on the dry surface.

Do not allow bystanders, children or animals into your work area.
In cases of mulple operators present, keep a safe distance between two or more people when working together simultaneously.
