    							ENHOW TO START - USE – STOP THE ENGINE9
    If the machine is not held
    firmly, the force of the engine could cause the
    user to lose his balance or direct the bar
    towards him or an obstacle.
    7. Pull the starter rope slowly for 10 - 15 cm until
    you feel some resistance, then tug it hard a
    few times until you hear the engine turn over.
    To avoid breaking the starter
    rope, do not pull the whole length of it or let it
    slide along the edge of the cable guide hole.
    Release the starter gradually, to avoid letting it fly
    back uncontrollably.
    8. Pull the starter rope again until the engine
    starts as normal.
    9. When the engine has started, press the throt-
    tle trigger to disconnect the starter and allow
    the engine to idle.
    Do not let the engine run at
    high power with the chain brake engaged, as this
    could cause overheating and damage to the
    clutch.
    10. Let the engine run idle for at least 1 minute
    before using the machine.
    If the starter rope is pulled
    repeatedly with the choke on, it may flood the
    engine and make starting difficult.
    If you have flooded the engine, remove the spark
    plug and gently pull the handle on the starter
    rope to eliminate any excess fuel; then dry the
    spark plug electrodes and replace it on the
    engine.
    •Hot starting
    When hot starting (immediately after stopping
    the engine), follow the procedure indicated
    above in points 1 -2 -6 - 7 -8.
    IMPORTANT
    IMPORTANT
    IMPORTANT
    !WARNING!USE OF THE ENGINE (Fig. 14)
    The chain speed is regulated by the throttle trig-
    ger (1) on the rear handgrip (2).
    The throttle trigger only works if the lockout (3) is
    pressed at the same time.
    The movement is transmitted from the engine to
    the chain by a centrifugal mass clutch that pre-
    vents the chain from moving when the engine is
    running at minimum speed.
    Never use the machine if
    the chain moves when the engine is running
    idle; if this is the case regulate the minimum
    rate (see chap.8) and if the problem persists
    please contact your dealer.
    The correct running speed will be achieved by
    pressing the throttle trigger (1) as far as possible.
    Avoid using the engine at full
    power for the first 6-8 working hours.
    STOPPING THE ENGINE (Fig. 14)
    To stop the engine:
    –Release the throttle trigger (1) and allow the
    engine to run idle for a few seconds.
    –Set the switch (4) to “STOP”.
    When you have reduced
    speed to a minimum, it will take a few sec-
    onds for the chain to stop.!WARNING!

    To respect people and the environment:
    – Try not to cause any disturbance.
    – Scrupulously comply with local regulations
    and provisions for the disposal of waste
    materials after sawing.
    – Scrupulously comply with local regulations
    and provisions for the disposal of oils,
    petrol, damaged parts or any elements
    which have a strong impact on the environ-
    ment.
    Always wear suitable
    clothing when using the machine. Your deal-
    er can provide you with all the information on
    the most suitable accident-prevention
    devices to guarantee your safety.
    It takes specific training to
    use the machine for felling and delimbing.  
    CHAIN BRAKE
    This machine comes with an automatic brake
    that stops the chain when kickback occurs dur-
    ing cutting.
    This brake can be operated manually by pushing
    the front guard forward. To release the brake,
    pull the front guard towards the handgrip until
    you hear a click.
    Do not use the machine if
    the chain brake does not function correctly
    and have it inspected by your dealer.
    CHECKING THE CHAIN TENSION  
    The chain tends to stretch gradually as you
    work, so you need to check its tension frequent-
    ly.
    Never work with the chain
    loose, as it can be hazardous if the chain slips
    out of its guides.
    CHECKING THE OIL DELIVERY 
    Never use the machine with-IMPORTANT
    !WARNING!
    !WARNING!
    !WARNING!
    !WARNING!
    out lubrication! The oil tank may get almost
    empty every time the fuel runs out. Make sure
    you top up the oil tank every time you refuel the
    chain-saw.
    Make sure the bar and the
    chain are in place when you check the oil
    delivery.
    Start the engine, keep it running at medium
    power and check if the chain oil is delivered as
    shown in the figure (Fig. 15).
    In models P 44(x) and P 48(x), you can adjust
    the chain oil flow using a screwdriver on the
    adjuster screw (1) of the oiler, which is on the
    bottom of the machine (Fig. 15).
    DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND CUTTING TECH-
    NIQUES
    Before felling or delimbing for the first time, prac-
    tise sawing logs on the ground or on trestles, so
    that you can get familiar with the machine and
    the most suitable sawing techniques.
    Always hold the machine
    with both hands when sawing.
    Stop the engine immedi-
    ately if the chain stops during sawing.
    Beware of kickback, which can occur if the
    bar contacts an obstacle.
    Kickback occurs when the tip of the chain
    comes in contact with an object or when the
    wood contracts and jams the chain during
    sawing. 
    This contact with the tip of the chain can
    cause a rapid backward motion, pushing the
    guide bar up and towards the operator. This
    also happens when the chain is jammed
    along the upper part of the bar. In both cases,
    kickback can cause the operator to lose con-
    trol of the chain-saw, leading to serious con-
    sequences.

    10USING THE MACHINE
    7. USING THE MACHINE 
    						
    							•Delimbing (Fig. 16)
    Make sure there is nothing
    or nobody in the area where the branches will
    fall.
    1. Stand opposite the branch you want to cut.
    2. Start cutting lower branches followed by the
    higher ones.
    3. Cut downwards to prevent the bar from get-
    ting jammed.
    •
    Felling (Fig. 17)
    When felling on slopes,
    always stand uphill from the tree and check
    that the felled trunk cannot cause damage if
    it rolls down the hill.
    1. Decide where the tree should fall – you
    should consider the wind, the natural lean of
    the tree, the position of the heaviest branch-
    es and how easy the work is after felling, etc.
    2. Clear the area around the tree and find a sta-
    ble place to stand.
    3. Plan obstacle-free escape routes at a 45°
    angle back and away from the direction of
    fall. These routes must allow you reach a safe
    area at a distance of about 2.5 times the
    length of the tree to be felled
    4. On the side of the fall, mark a felling notch
    around a third of the trunk’s diameter.
    5. Cut the tree on the other side, slightly above
    the bottom of the notch, leaving the uncut
    wood to act as a “hinge” (1) of approx. 5-10
    cm.
    6. Reduce the thickness of this hinge without
    pulling out the bar, until the tree falls.  
    7. In particular or unstable conditions, you can
    complete felling by inserting wedges (2) on
    the opposite side of the fall, and hitting them
    with a hammer until the tree falls.
    !WARNING!
    !WARNING!
    •Bucking (Fig. 18)
    Be careful of where the
    branches are lying on the ground, the risk of
    them being under tension, the direction the
    branch may go during cutting and the risk of
    the tree being unstable after the branch has
    been cut..
    1. Check the direction in which the branch is
    attached to the tree
    2. First cut on the side where the branch bends
    and then finish cutting on the opposite side.
    •
    Sawing logs (Fig. 19)
    It is easier to saw a log using the spiked bumper.
    1. Dig the spiked bumper into the log and use it
    as a pivot. Cut with an arched motion to make
    the bar penetrate the wood.
    2. Repeat several times if necessary, changing
    the point where you plant the spiked bumper.
    •
    Sawing a log on the ground (Fig. 20)
    Cut up to half the diameter, roll the log over and
    finishing sawing on the other side.
    •
    Sawing a raised log (Fig. 21)
    1. If you are sawing the overhanging end of a
    supported log (A), first cut a third of the diam-
    eter from the bottom upwards, then finish
    from the top. 
    2. If you are sawing between two supports (B),
    cut a third of the diameter from the top down-
    wards, then finish from the bottom.
    END OF OPERATIONS
    When you have finished your work:
    –Switch off the engine as indicated above
    (Chap. 6)..
    –Wait for the chain to stop and then mount the
    bar cover.
    !WARNING! USING THE MACHINE
    11EN 
    						
    							Correct maintenance is essential to maintain the
    original efficiency and safety of the machine over
    time.
    During maintenance oper-
    ations:
    –Remove the spark plug cap.
    –Wait until the engine is sufficiently cold.
    –Use protective gloves when handling the
    bar and chain.
    –Keep the bar protection devices on, except
    when intervening directly on the bar or the
    chain.
    –Never dispose of oils, fuel or other polluting
    materials in unauthorised places.
    CYLINDER AND SILENCER
    To reduce fire risks, periodically clean the cylin-
    der flaps with compressed air and clear the
    silencer area to get rid of sawdust, branches,
    leaves or other debris.
    STARTING SYSTEM
    To avoid overheating and damage to the engine,
    always keep the cooling air vents clean and free
    of sawdust and debris.
    The starter rope must be replaced as soon as it
    shows signs of wear.
    CLUTCH UNIT
    Keep the clutch bell free of sawdust and debris.
    Have your dealer check the greasing of the inter-
    nal bearing every 30 hours (approx.).
    CHAIN BRAKE
    Regularly check the efficiency of the chain brake
    and the condition of the metal band around the
    clutch bell.
    Replace this band when the points in contact
    with the clutch bell wear down to about half the
    thickness of the two ends not subject to rubbing.
    !WARNING!CHAIN SPROCKET (Fig. 22)
    Regularly check the condition of the sprocket
    and replace it when wear exceeds 0.5 mm.
    Do not mount a new chain with a worn sprocket
    or vice-versa.
    CHAIN CATCHER
    This is an important safety device that restrains
    the chain if it breaks or degrooves.
    Regularly check the condition of the chain
    catcher and replace it if it gets damaged.
    NUTS AND SCREWS
    Periodically check that all the nuts and screws
    are securely tightened and the handgrips are
    tightly fastened.
    CLEANING THE AIR FILTER (Fig. 23)
    Cleaning the air filter is
    essential to guarantee the efficiency and duration
    of the machine. Do not work with a damaged fil-
    ter or without a filter, as this could permanently
    damage the engine.  
    It must be cleaned after every 8-10 working
    hours.
    Clean the filter as follows:
    –Remove the cover (1) and filter element (2).
    –Gently tap the filter element (2) to remove the
    dirt and, if necessary, clean it with low pres-
    sure compressed air .
    The filter element (2) must
    never be washed and must be replaced if it is too
    dirty or damaged.
    –Fit the filter element (2) and the cover (1) back
    on.
    –
    In models P43(x) - P44(x) - P47(x) - P48(x),first attach the filter element (2a) to the cover

    machine.
    CHECKING THE SPARK PLUG (Fig. 24)
    Periodically remove and clean the spark plug
    using a metal brush to get rid of any deposits.
    Check and reset the correct distance between
    the electrodes.
    Replace the spark plug and fasten it firmly using
    the supplied wrench.
    The spark plug must be replaced with one with
    the same characteristics whenever the elec-
    trodes have burnt or the insulation has worn, and
    in any case every 100 working hours.
    TUNING THE CARBURETTOR
    The carburettor is tuned by the manufacturer to
    achieve maximum performance in all situations,
    with a minimum emission of toxic gas in compli-
    ance with the regulations in force.
    When performance is poor, first check that the
    chain runs smoothly and the bar rails are not dis-
    torted, then contact your dealer to check the
    carburetion and the engine.
    •
    Tuning minimum speed 
    The minimum speed must
    only be tuned if the chain moves when the
    engine idles.
    Speed is reduced by turning the screw marked
    “T” or “MIN - IDLE” anti-clockwise until the chain
    stops moving. The engine should continue to run
    as normal.
    If the engine does not idle smoothly, turn the
    screw clockwise to increase the speed.
    The chain must not move
    when the engine idles; contact your dealer if
    you are not able to tune it to your satisfac-
    tion.!WARNING!
    !WARNING!SHARPENING THE CHAIN
    To ensure that the chain-
    saw works safely and efficiently, it is essential
    that the cutting components are well-sharp-
    ened.
    Sharpening is necessary when:
    •The sawdust looks like dust.
    •Cutting becomes more difficult.
    •The cut is not straight.
    •Vibrations increase.
    •Fuel consumption increases.
    A specialized centre will sharpen the chain using
    the right tools to ensure minimum removal of
    material and even sharpness on all the cutting
    edges.
    If you sharpen the chain yourself, use special
    round-section files with the right diameter
    depending on the type of chain (see “Chain
    Maintenance Table”). You need a certain amount
    of skill and experience to avoid damaging the
    cutting edges.
    Sharpen the chain as follows (Fig. 25):
    –Switch off the engine, release the chain brake
    and secure the bar with the chain in a vice so
    that the chain can run smoothly.
    –Tighten the chain if it is loose.
    –Mount the file in the guide and then insert it in
    the tooth at a constant angle from the cutting
    edge.
    –Sharpen in a forward motion a few times and
    repeat this on all the cutting edges facing the
    same way (right or left).
    –Turn the bar over in the vice and repeat on all
    the other cutting edges.
    –Check that the limiter tooth does not stick out
    further than the inspection instrument and file
    any projecting parts with a flat file, rounding
    off the edge.
    –After sharpening, remove all traces of filing
    and dust and lubricate the chain in an oil bath.  
    Replace the chain whenever:
    –The length of the cutting edges reduces to 5
    mm or less;
    –There is too much play between the links and
    the rivets.
    !WARNING! MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
    13EN 
    						
    							BAR MAINTENANCE (Fig. 26)
    To avoid asymmetrical wear on the bar, make
    sure it is turned over periodically.
    To keep the bar in perfect working order, pro-
    ceed as follows:
    –grease the bearings on the nose sprocket (if
    present) with the syringe;
    –clean the bar groove with the scraper;
    –clean the lubrication holes;
    –with a flat file, remove burr from the edges and
    level off the guides.
    Replace the bar whenever:
    –the groove is not as deep as the height of the
    drive links (which must never touch the bot-
    tom);
    –the inside of the guide is worn enough to
    make the chain lean to one side.
    EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE
    All maintenance operations not foreseen in this
    manual must be performed exclusively by your
    dealer.
    All and any operations performed in unautho-rised centres or by unqualified persons will total-
    ly invalidate the warranty.
    STORAGE
    After every work stint, clean the machine thor-
    oughly to remove all dust and debris, and repair
    or replace any faulty parts.
    The machine must be stored in a dry place away
    from the elements and with the bar cover cor-
    rectly fitted.
    LONG PERIODS OF DISUSE
    If you are not going to use
    the machine for a period of more than 2-3
    months, we recommend you do a few things
    before putting it away. This will make it easier
    when you want to use the machine again and will
    also prevent permanent damage to the engine.
    •Storage
    Before putting the machine away:
    –Empty the fuel tank.
    –Start the engine and run it idle until it comes to
