7.3.2. CUTTING THE BRANCHES OF A FELLED TREE
It is important to verify that the bouquets are not
folded and / or in tension. If the branch to be cut
is bent or in tension, it may jump out when you are
cutting it.
To cut a limb, in this
case, cut ¼ of the
whole limb from the
side where the limb is
in compression and then cut the rest of the limb from
the side that is in tension (following diagram) . This
will prevent the tension of the branch from closing the
cut and blocking the chainsaw bar and chain.
7.3.3. CUTTING A BRANCH OF A TREE
To cut a tree limb that does not
touch the ground always start
with a cut of ¼ of the diameter
of the branch from the bottom
(1) and then cut the rest from
the top (2).
This way you will help the aperture of the cut and that
the branch does not pull and damage the tree trunk.
7.3.5. BRANCH CUTTING OR SMALL TRUNK CUTTING
When cutting branches or small trunks use a strong
support such as an easel.
Never hold the trunk by using your feet or asking
someone else to hold the wood for you.
8. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
The removal of security mechanisms, an
inappropriate maintenance, the substitution of the
bar and chain with non original spares could cause
severe corporal damages.
Always carry out maintenance work with the
machine unplugged from the mains.
Carry out the following maintenance checks prior to
working as well as when finishing your job to ensure
the good functioning of this machine in the future.
8.1. EXIT ORIFICE OF THE CHAIN OIL
Dismount the bar and check that the oil orifice is not
clogged.
8.2. SHARPNESS OF CHAIN TEETH
Attention!: An incorrectly sharpened chain increases
the risk of kick back as well as increasing the
vibration level and possible accidents!
To ensure that the machine cuts correctly, maintain
the chain sharpened. You must also sharpen the chain
if:
• You must place more pressure to cut.
• The cut is not straight.
• There is an increase of the vibration levels.
• When cutting instead of splinters you see shavings.
