Wherever possible use a vice or a saw horse to block the wood to be cut; always hold the machine as follows: Grip the front handle with the left hand and the rear handle with the right hand, closing the thumb and other fingers firmly around the handle (during use, the machine could slide forwards or backwards, or create a reverse action, provoking a kickback reaction: holding the machine correctly reduces the risk of loosing control over the tool); Always make ENGLISH - 4 sure that the cable/ extension cord is kept behind the user, controlling that it does not create a source of danger for the user or for other persons, and check that it cannot be damaged (by heat, sharp objects, sharp edges, oil, etc); Always assume a stable standing position on both legs; keep the handles dry and clean; during use keep all body parts and clothing well clear of the chain; turn off the switch, wait until the chain has stopped turning, and activate the chain brake lever before putting down the saw; never attempt to cut at heights over shoulder height; always handle the machine with the utmost care; check that the oil level never drops below MIN level, controlling frequently, before and during use; Always remain on the left hand side of the machine during use, and take great care if the bar needs to be inserted in a previously cut slit; remove the bar from the slit when the chain is still in rotation. 12. Transport and storage precautions. Each time the work area is changed to another location, disconnect the machine from the main line and activate the chain brake lever. Mount the guide bar cover guard each time before transporting or storage. Always carry the machine by hand with the bar facing backwards, or when transporting the machine in a vehicle, always attach it securely to prevent damage. Never carry the machine by the cable. After use, store the machine in a dry, high place, far from heat sources and out of reach of children. 13. Precautions against fire risk. Never use the machine in areas where there are naked flames, inflammable or potentially explosive materials. 14. Kickback reaction. The kickback reaction consists of a violent upwards-reverse action of the bar towards the user. This generally occurs if the upper part of the bar nose (called the “kickback danger zone”) comes into contact with some object, or if the chain is blocked in the wood. The kickback reaction is a very quick sudden motion along the bar cutting plane (generally in an upward direction, but this also depends on the machine position during cutting action). Kickback can make the user loose control of the machine provoking dangerous and even mortal accidents (i.e: if the saw with the chain in rotation is thrust back against the user). The chain brake lever and other safety devices are not sufficient to protect the user against injury: the user must be well aware of the conditions that can provoke the reaction, and prevent them by paying very close attention according to experience, together with prudent and correct machine handling (for example: never cut several branches at a time because this can cause accidental impact on the “kickback danger zone”; never mount incorrect bars or chains; make sure the chain is always sharp and sharpen according to correct methods, because incorrect sharpening can cause kickback; when choosing the bar, remember that the smaller the nose radius, the smaller the kickback danger zone). C. SAFETY EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION 1,3,6,8,12 SWITCH BLOCK Your machine is equipped with a device (fig.1) that when deactivated, stops the switch from being pressed thus preventing accidental start-up. CHAIN BRAKE ACTION ON SWITCH RELEASE (for ES18 models only) Your machine is equipped with a device that blocks the chain immediately as soon as the switch is released; If this device should not work at any time, the machine must NOT be used, and must be taken to an Authorised Service Centre. FRONT HAND GUARD / CHAIN BRAKE LEVER The front hand guard (fig.2) is designed to prevent your left hand from coming into contact with the chain (on condition that the machine is held correctly according to instructions) . The front hand guard also acts as a chain brake, including a device that blocks the chain in a few fractions of a second in the case of kickback. The chain brake is released when the front hand guard is pulled backwards and blocked in position (the chain is able to move). The chain brake is activated when the front hand guard is pushed forward (the chain is blocked). ENGLISH – 5 The chain brake can be activated in two modes: the first using the left wrist by pushing forwards, or when it comes into contact with the brake system as a result of kickback; or by inertia, in the case of particularly violent kickback. When the machine is used with the bar in horizontal position, for example during tree felling, the chain brake offers less protection, because it can be activated by inertia only, since the user’s hand is outside the range o...
