8 PREPARING TO WORK / STARTING - STOPPING THE ENGINE
EN
When you release the
switch, the safety button is also released and the
engine stops.
The chain may take one
second to come to a stop after the engine is
switched o.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
To stop the engine:
– Release the switch (7).
– FIRST unplug the extension lead (3) from the
mains socket (4) and THEN disconnect the
power cable (2) of the machine from the exten-
sion lead (3).
WARNING!
NOTE
STARTING THE ENGINE (Fig. 12)
Before starting the engine:
– Fasten the extension lead (1) to the cable clamp
on the rear handgrip.
– FIRST connect the power cable plug (2) to the
extension lead (3) and THEN plug the extension
lead into the mains socket (4).
– Take o the bar cover.
– Make sure the bar is not touching the ground or
any other object
To start the engine (Fig. 12):
1. Disengage the chain brake (5) by pulling the
front hand guard towards the front handgrip.
2. Hold the chain-saw rmly with both hands.
3. Press the safety button (6) and then the switch
(7).
6. HOW TO START - STOP THE ENGINE
WARNING! Do not use the machine if
the chain brake does not function correctly
and have it inspected by your dealer.
4. CHAIN LUBRICANT
Only use chain-saw oil or
adhe sive oil for chain-saws. Do not use oil con-
taining impurities, to avoid clogging the tank lter
and permanently damaging the oiler.
The chain lubricating oil is
bio-degradable. The use of mineral oil or engine
oil can have a serious impact on the environment.
It is essential that you use good quality oil to lu-
bricate the cutting parts eectively. Used or poor
quality oil does not guarantee good lubrication and
reduces the duration of the chain and bar.
IMPORTANT
Before each machine use,
the oil level should be checked and topped up to
1 cm from the rim of the ller. The oil level must not
drop below the «MIN» level mark.
5. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Electricity and moisture
are not compatible.
– Always handle and connect electric cables
in dry conditions.
DANGER!
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
– Keep electric sockets or cables away from
wet and damp areas (e.g. puddles or wet
ground).
The quality of the extension leads must be no less
than H07RN-F or H07VV-F, with a minimum sec-
tion of 2.5 mm
2
and a recommended maximum
length of 30 m.
To avoid overheating, do not keep the extension
lead rolled up during use.
The permanent connec-
tion of any electrical equipment to the mains
of a building must be installed by a qualied
electrician in conformity with the regulations
in force. Incorrect wiring can cause serious
injury and even death.
DANGER!
Supply power to the ma-
chine using a dierential switch (RCD - Resid-
ual Current Device) with a tripping current of
max. 30 mA.
IMPORTANT
To prevent power supply ou-
tages:
– make sure that the electric system’s overall ca-
pacity is adequate;
– connect the machine to a mains socket with suf-
cient amperage;
– avoid simultaneous use of other electrical ap-
pliances with high power consumption.
DANGER!
