2 hands, as required with a traditional chain
saw (fig.11-A).
- Comply with all safety rules described in
chapter "SAFEtY".
- Cut the tree by pushing the throttle lever all
the way and come into contact with the wood
after the engine has reached full speed.

8.2 GENERAL RULES

- An operator who works on a high position on a
tree with the aid of ropes and slings must never
be on his own, but must be assisted on the ground
by a second, experienced operator, able to handle
emergencies.
- The operator must be trained to safely climb trees,
to use a working technique suitable for jobs carried
out at heights and must be equipped with suitable
safety sling, ropes and snap-shackles, and any
other items required to ensure a stable and safe
working position for himself and the chain saw.
8.3 PRELiMiNAtY OPERAtiONS WHEN USiNG
tHE CHAiN SAW ON A tREE
1) The chain saw must be checked, refuelled,
oiled, started and heated by the second operator
on the ground, then the engine must be switched
off before lifting the chain saw on the tree.
2) The chain saw must be fixed with a snap-
shackle to the operator's sling by means of a
rope (fig.13).
3) The chain saw must be anchored to the connec-
tion point (fig.12 item1) by means of a rope.
4) The sling rope extends beyond the snap-shack-
le all the way to the lifting rope on the ground.
5) Make sure that the chain saw is fixed to the sling
before detaching it from the lifting rope.
Fig 13 shows how to latch on the chain saw to
the operator's sling.
6) By latching the chain saw onto the sling, the
occurrence of damages to the chain saw when
moving on the tree is reduced.
Always switch the engine off before
latching the chain saw to the sling.
7) Latch the chain saw onto the sling by using the
hooks provided on the sling, such as on the sides;
when climbing the tree, it is advisable to latch it
onto the rear middle hook to be less cumbersome
for the operator (see fig.14).
