Shut Off; Cutting Operations - Truper MOT-3314 Instructivo

Shut Off

Shutting Off the Motor
• Release the throttle trigger and leave the motor running
slow.
• Set the switch into the OFF position (H).
• Allow the chain to stop before setting the chain saw
onto the ground.
• To gain an additional degree of safety set the chain
brake (I) when not using the chain saw.
• If the chainsaw has not stopped despite being in the
OFF position, pull the choke lever completely outwards
(figure D in page 12). Activate the chain brake to shut off
the motor. Go to a
Service Center to carry out repairs in the switch before
using again the chain saw and prevent unsafe working
conditions and possible severe injuries.
CAUTION • Once the chain saw is off release
pressure in the tanks. Loosen the caps of both the oil and
fuel tanks. Then tighten the caps back.
• Leave the motor cooling down before storing the unit.

Cutting Operations

Right Position for Cutting
• Both feet shall be supported on firm ground. Body
weight well balanced. The left foot shall be slightly
forward of the right foot.
• Hold the chain saw as indicated in the Safety Warnings
for chain saws' section (see page 5).
• Keep the left arm straight. Do not bend the elbow to
support in the event a kickback force sets.
• Always keep the cut axis to your right. To keep free your
body to cut axis in case of kickback.
• Hold the chain saw close to the body to prevent tension
in arms and back.
• Do not try to hold the chain saw left-handed.

Basic Cutting Procedures
If the user has no previous experience in the use of chain
saws, practicing with small logs (not smaller than 8"
diameter) is recommended. Support the log onto a
sawhorse to get familiar to using the saw. Follow the
following technique:
• Adopt the right position in front of the log with the chain
saw running slow.
• Press the throttle trigger to make the motor reach its
maximum speed.
• Start the cut setting the chain bar onto the log.
• Keep the motor in its maximum speed at all times.
• Allow the cutting chain do its job applying slight
pressure downwards with the chain saw. Do not try to
force the cut at any time, otherwise the chain, the bar or
the motor could get damaged.
• Release the throttle trigger as soon as finishing the cut.
This way the motor will run slow avoiding unnecessarily
wearing out the chain, bar or motor.
