●
Use clamps to fix the material.
●
Hold the chain saw with both hands when starting up and during operation.
●
During recoil the chain saw cannot be controlled and the chain is loosened (
●
Incorrectly sharpened chain increases risk of recoil.
●
Do not cut above level of your shoulders.
Avoid cutting with guide bar tip, it may cause sudden recoil – to the back and up. Always use complete
safety equipment and appropriate working clothes when operating the chain saw.
Disassembly of protections, inappropriate operation, maintenance, improper guide bar or chain
replacement may contribute to increase of risk of body injury in case of a recoil. Never modify the
saw in any way. By using modified chain saw, the user looses all warranty rights. Warranty voids also
when the chain saw is used inaccordingly to information contained in this manual.
CUTTING PIECES OF WOOD
When cutting wood follow guidelines for safety of work and do as follows:
●
Ensure the wood piece cannot be moved.
●
Use clamps to fix short pieces of material before cutting.
●
Cut wood or wood-like materials only.
●
Before cutting ensure the chain saw will not come into contact with stones or nails, as it could cause
pulling the saw out and damage to the chain.
●
Avoid situations when working saw might touch wired fence or ground.
●
When cutting branches support the saw as much as possible and do not cut with the tip of the guide
bar.
●
Watch out for obstacles such as protruding stumps, roots, hollows and holes in the ground, as they may
be cause of an accident.
FELLING A TREE
Define the tree fall line. Consider wind, lean of the tree, location of heavy branches, complexity of work after
tree fall and other factors.
●
When tidying area around the tree remember to ensure proper ground grip and escape path to use
when the tree falls.
●
Predict and tidy up two escape paths at 45
tree fall. There must be no obstacles on these paths (fig. M).
●
Make a notch at the side of the fall, one third of the trunk diameter deep (
●
Make a felling cut at the side opposite to the previously made felling notch, and a little higher than lower
surface of the notch.
●
Insert wedges on time to avoid pinching of the saw chain.
●
Fell the tree by driving a wedge rather than cutting through the whole trunk.
When felling trees observe all safety rules and do as follows:
●
When the chain is pinched, switch off the chain saw and release the chain with a wedge. Wedge
should be made of wood or plastic. Never use steel or cast iron wedge.
●
Falling tree may pull other trees.
●
Danger zone radius is 2.5 height of the falling tree (fig. M).
●
If the operator is inexperienced or amateur it is recommended to have a training rather than
gaining the experience without supervision.
Do not fell trees when:
●
Conditions in danger zone cannot be determined due to fog, rain, snow or darkness.
●
Line of tree felling cannot be determined due to wind or wind blows.
CUTTING THROUGH TRUNKS
● Press the bumper spike (19) against the material and make a cut (fig. O).
●
If the cutting cannot be finished even after the chain saw range is fully utilized, do as follows:
●
Move the guide bar back from the cut material to a certain distance (with cutting chain still operating)
and move the main handle (12) a little down, support the bumper spike (19) and finish the cut by lifting
the main handle (12) a little.
