    D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
    1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tightly fas-
    tened to be sure the equipment is in safe work-
    ing condition. 
    Routine maintenance is essen-
    tial for safety and for maintaining a high per-
    formance level
    .
    2) Do not store the machine with fuel in the tank
    in an area where the fuel vapours could reach an
    open flame, a spark or a strong heat source.
    3) Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
    enclosure.
    4) To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine,
    exhaust silencer and fuel storage area free from
    sawdust, branches, leaves, or excessive grease;
    never leave containers with the cut debris inside
    the storage area.5) Se il serbatoio deve essere svuotato, effet-
    tuare questa operazione all’aperto e a motore
    freddo.
    6)
    If the fuel tank has to be emptied, this
    should be done outdoors once the engine has
    cooled down
    .
    7)Make sure the chain is well sharpened. Any
    work on the chain and bar require specific expe-
    rience and special tools. For safety purposes, we
    recommend you contact your dealer to ensure
    work is done correctly.
    8)
    For safety reasons, never use the machine
    with worn or damaged parts. Damaged parts
    are to be replaced and never repaired. Only
    use original spare parts. 
    Parts that are not of
    the same quality can seriously damage the
    equipment and compromise safety.
    9) Before putting the machine away, check you
    have removed wrenches or tools used for main-
    tenance.
    10) Store the machine out of the reach of chil-
    dren!
    E) TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING
    1) Whenever the machine is to be handled or
    transported you must:
    –turn off the engine, wait for the chain to stop
    and disconnect the spark plug cap;
    –mount the bar cover;
    –only hold the machine using the handgrips
    and position the bar in the opposite direction
    to that used during operation.
    2) When using a vehicle to transport the
    machine, position it so that it can cause no dan-
    ger to persons and fasten it firmly in place to
    avoid it from tipping over, which may cause
    damage or fuel spillage.

    							PREPARING TO WORK7EN
    CHECKING THE MACHINE
    Before starting work please:
    –check that all the screws on the machine and
    the bar are tightly fastened;
    –check that the chain is sharp and there are no
    signs of any damage;
    –check that the air filter is clean;
    –check that the protection devices are well fas-
    tened and working efficiently;
    –check that the handgrips are well fastened;
    –check that the chain brake is working effi-
    ciently.
    PREPARING THE FUEL
    This machine is fitted with a two-stroke engine
    which requires a mixture of petrol and lubricating
    oil.
    Using petrol alone will dam-
    age the motor and will cause for invalidation of
    the warranty.
    Only use quality fuels and
    oils to maintain high performance and guarantee
    the duration of the mechanical parts over time.
    •Petrol characteristics
    Only use unleaded petrol with a fuel grade of at
    least 90 N.O.
    Unleaded petrol tends to
    create deposits in the container if preserved for
    more than 2 months. Always use fresh petrol!
    •Oil characteristics
    Only use top quality synthetic oil specifically for
    two-stroke engines.
    Your dealer can provide you with oils which have
    been specifically developed for this type of
    engine, and which are capable of guaranteeing a
    high level of protection.
    The use of these oils makes it possible to pre-
    pare a 2% mixture, consisting in 1 part oil to 50
    parts petrol.
    In the event that no specific oil is available, it is
    IMPORTANT
    IMPORTANT
    IMPORTANT
    possible to use a mineral lubricating oil for
    engines (class FA or FB), where in this case the
    mixture must be 4%, i.e. 1 part oil and 25 parts
    petrol.
    •Preparation and preservation of the fuel
    mixture
    Petrol and the fuel mixture are highly inflam-
    mable!
    –Keep the petrol and fuel mixture in homolo-
    gated fuel containers, in safe place, away
    from any flames or heat sources.
    –Never leave the containers within the reach
    of children.
    –Never smoke whilst preparing the mixture
    and avoid inhaling the petrol fumes.
    The chart indicates the amount of petrol and oil
    to use to prepare the fuel mixture according to
    the type of oil used.
    To prepare the fuel mixture:
    –Place about half the amount of petrol in a
    homologated tank
    –Add all the oil, according to the chart.
    –Add the rest of the petrol.
    –Close the top and shake well.
    The fuel mixture tends to
    age. Do not prepare excessive amounts of the
    fuel mixture to avoid deposits from forming.
    Keep the petrol and fuel mix-
    ture containers separate and easily identifiable to
    avoid the mistake of using one in place of the
    other.

    Before refuelling:
    –Shake the fuel mixture container well.
    –Place the machine on a flat stable surface,
    with the fuel tank cap facing upwards.
    –Clean the fuel tank cap and the surrounding
    area to avoid any dirt from entering the tank
    during refilling.
    –Carefully open the fuel tank cap to allow the
    pressure inside to decrease gradually. Use a
    funnel to refill and avoid filling the tank to the
    brim.
    Always close the fuel tank
    cap firmly.!WARNING!
    !WARNING!
    !DANGER!
    IMPORTANTImmediately clean all
    traces of fuel which may have dripped on the
    machine or the ground and do not start the
    engine until the petrol fumes have dissipated.
    CHAIN LUBRICANT
    Only use oil with SAE 30 vis-
    cosity, specifically for lubricating chains. Do not
    use oil containing impurities, to avoid clogging
    the tank filter and permanently damaging the
    oiler.
    It is essential that you use good quality oil to
    lubricate the cutting parts effectively. Used or
    poor quality oil does not guarantee good lubri-
    cation and reduces the duration of the chain and
    bar.
    It is always worth topping up the oil tank com-
    pletely (using a funnel) every time you refuel.
    Since the oil tank capacity is enough to guaran-
    tee that the fuel runs out first, you will avoid the
    risk of operating the machine without lubricant.
    IMPORTANT
    !WARNING!
    means starting it after at least 5 minutes from
    when it was switched off or after refuelling.

    4 times to aid starting.
    6. Hold the machine firmly on the ground, with
    your hand on the handgrip and your foot in
    the rear handgrip, to avoid losing control dur-
    ing starting (Fig. 13).   
    STARTING THE ENGINE
    The engine must be start-
    ed in an area at least 3 metres from where
    you refilled the fuel tank.
