use the machine if the operation does not seem
appropriate.
Do not use the machine if it is damaged or
improperly adjusted.
7. USING THE MACHINE
Use this machine only for the designated
purposes. Using this chainsaw for any other use
is dangerous and can cause bodily harm and/or
damage to the machine.
Do not start the machine in a room or
enclosure. The exhaust gases and fuel
and oil vapors contain carbon monoxide
and harmful chemicals. In case of a concentration of
gases produced by poor ventilation, remove all that
impedes the flow of clean air to improve ventilation
from the work area and not return to work in the area
unless you have properly ventilated area and have
clear that ventilation is sufficient so that does not
happen this concentration again.
Work only in daylight or good artificial light. Do not
use this machine at night, with fog or with a low
visibility which do not allow you to clearly see the
working area.
Whenever possible, avoid using this machine when
the ground is wet. Pay special attention if you use
this machine when it is raining or after it has rained,
as the ground will be slippery and you could slip
and fall.
Do not use this machine on slopes greater than 15°.
Cutting on hilly areas can be dangerous.
Be alert when you walk on slopes or wet grass.
Slopes always cut horizontally, not cut bottom up
or top down. Be especially careful when changing
direction on a slope.
Never cut with the mower in reverse or by pulling
it. Be alert when you back up or pull the mower
towards you.
Do not tilt the machine with the engine running
except in the special case that you have to start
cutting an area with tall grass. This is the only case
in which you can raise the front wheels slightly
to facilitate entry of the mower to the work area.
Stop the lawnmower's engine if you tilt it to cross
surfaces other than grass and when transporting the
lawnmower to and from the area to be cut.
Do not go near the machine's cutting tool when it
is running.
