Instruction manual
achieved, the machine should be fixed to the wood
using notched rest (8). During cutting this support
should be used as a lever.
∙
When cutting thick trunks or branches the notched
rest should be repositioned. To do this, the machine
should be inclined backwards in order to release the
notched rest and allow it to move downwards. The
machine should not be removed from the cut to do this.
∙
Do not apply intense pressure to the chain during
cut- ting. Allow the chain to work freely, only lightly
applying pressure, using notched rest (8) as a lever.
∙
Never use machine with outstretched arms. Do not
attempt to cut in difficult areas or standing on a tree.
Under no circumstances should work be carried out
above shoulder level.
∙
Optimum cutting results are achieved when the
speed of rotation of the chain is not reduced after
overload.
∙
Be careful at the final stage of cutting. When the
machine has just completed the cut, an unexpected
gravity increase effect is produced causing the danger
of injury to feet and legs.
∙
The machine should be taken out of the cut only if
the chain is moving.
Cutting logs [F13]
∙
Place the tog (timber), as shown in following
figures, and brace it such that the machine does not get
stuck in the cut.
∙
Short offcuts need to be accurately levelled and
reliably secured before they are sawn
∙
Saw only wooden material. Avoid contact with
stones or dirt, since the saw chain will throw them
sideways and in so doing the saw chain could be
damaged.
∙
Do not touch wire fences or the ground with the
working machine.
∙
The machine is not suitable for cutting thin
branches and boughs.
∙
Longitudinal cuts should be carried out with great
care, since notched rest (8) cannot be used under
these conditions. Guide the machine at a straight angle.
avoiding rebound.
∙
When working at angles, always place yourselves
higher than the cut log or to the side thereof or cut
horizontal material.
∙
Pay attention to the threat posed by stumbling
blocks, branches and roots, etc.
Cutting mechanically stressed timber [F14]
Branches, trees or timber that are mechanically stressed
or lost the pressure after cutting, can produce absolutely
unexpected reactions and cause serious injury or even
death. In such cases particular attention is required.
ATTENTION! Only specialists who
have undergone special training
should carry out such work.
∙
If the tree is supported from both ends (look to the
left side of the figure), the first cut should be made at
the top (A) to 1/3 the thickness of the trunk and then
finish the cut from below at the same place (B) whilst
avoiding splits and machine jams. It is essential that the
saw chain (6) will not be allowed to touch the ground.
∙
If the billet contacts the support from one end only
(look to the right side of the figure), start the cut from
below (A) about 1/3 of the diameter and finish the cut
from above (B). In this way trunk splitting and machine
jams are avoided.
Felling trees [F15]
CAUTION! Always wear a hard hat to
protect you head from possible falling
branches.
∙
The machine may only be used to fell trees having
a diameter less than the length of guide bar (7).
∙
Fence off the working area.
∙
Never attempt to remove the machine that is stuck
in a trunk with the running motor. Use wooden blocks to
free the saw chain (6).
NOTE: the direction in which the tree has to fall,
should be determined before the work begins; it is
important to take into account the center of gravity
of the crown of the tree and the wind direction when
determining the direction.
∙
Saw a notch (A) in the direction of fall of the tree.
The depth of the notch should be approximately 1/3 of
the diameter of the trunk. Then continue the cut from the
opposite side to the notch (A) with a horizontal cut (B),
starting approximately 4 cm higher than the previous cut (A).
CAUTION! Under no circumstances
should the trunk be completely sawn
through!
∙
Approximately 1/10 of the trunk’s diameter should
be left. If the tree starts to fall, remove the machine
immediately from the cut and move out of the way
backwards or to the side.
∙
The working area around the trunk must be free
from obstacles: sturdy support and the opportunity to
