GGP Italy SPA Electric Chain Saw Manual

							The machine is supplied with
the bar and chain dismantled and the oil tank
empty. . 
! Always wear heavy-duty
gloves when handling the bar and chain.
Mount the bar and chain very carefully so as
not to impair the safety and efficiency of the
machine. If in doubt, contact your dealer.
The machine can be assem-
bled in different ways, depending on the bar fas-
tening system and the chain tensioning mecha-
nism.
Before fitting the bar, make sure the chain brake
is not engaged; this is done by pulling the front
hand guard right back towards the body of the
machine.
Make sure the machine is
not plugged into the mains socket.

CHECKING THE MACHINE
Make sure the machine is
not plugged into the mains socket.
Before starting work please:
–check that the mains frequency and voltage is
the same as the rating data on the
“Identification Plate” (see chap. 1 - 10.8).
–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 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;
–check that the power cable and extension
lead are not damaged.

!WARNING!CHAIN LUBRICANTOnly 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 use the
chain-saw.
IMPORTANT
5. PREPARING TO WORK
3. Press the safety button (6) and then the

seconds to come to a stop after the engine is
switched off.
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).

2. Hold the chain-saw firmly with both hands.
6. HOW TO START - STOP THE ENGINE  
						

							EN
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, dam-
aged parts or any elements which have a
strong impact on the environment.
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.
!WARNING!

!WARNING!CHECKING THE OIL DELIVERY 
Never use the machine with-
out lubrication! You can check the oil level in the
tank through the transparent gauge. Make sure
you fill up the oil tank every time you use the
machine.
Make sure the bar and the
chain are in place when you check the oil
delivery.
Start the engine and check if the chain oil is
delivered as shown in the figure (Fig. 13).
.
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 machine, leading to serious conse-
quences.

8USING THE MACHINE
7. USING THE MACHINE 
						

							EN
•Delimbing (Fig. 14)
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. 15)
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. 16)
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. 17)
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. 18)
Cut up to half the diameter, roll the log over and
finishing sawing on the other side.
•
Sawing a raised log (Fig. 19)
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.

							Correct maintenance is essential to maintain the
original efficiency and safety of the machine over
time.
During maintenance oper-
ations:
–Unplug the machine from the mains.
–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 or other polluting
materials in unauthorised places.
ENGINE COOLING
To avoid overheating and damage to the engine,
always keep the cooling air vents clean and free
of sawdust and debris.
CHAIN BRAKE
Regularly check the efficiency of the chain brake
and the condition of the metal band around the
drum.
Replace this band when the points in contact
with the drum wear down to about half the thick-
ness of the two ends not subject to rubbing.
CHAIN SPROCKET (Fig. 20)
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.

!WARNING!NUTS AND SCREWS
Periodically check that all the nuts and screws
are securely tightened and the handgrips are
tightly fastened.
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.
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. 21):
–Disconnect the machine from the mains,
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.

!WARNING!
10MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE EN
8. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE  
						

							–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.
BAR MAINTENANCE (Fig. 22)
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.
