Logging - Famastil F-POWER Manual De Instrucciones

LOGGING

How you should cut depends on how
the log is supported. Use a saw horse
whenever possible. Always start a cut with
the saw chain (6) running and the spiked
bumper (17) in contact with the wood (FIG
12). To complete the cut use a pivoting
action of the spiked bumper against the
wood.
• When supported along its whole length:
Make a downward cut, but avoid cutting the earth as this will blunt your saw chain
quickly.
• When supported at both ends:
First, cut one third down to avoid splintering and second, cut again to meet the first cut.
• When supported at one end:
First cut one third up to avoid splintering and second, cut down to prevent
splintering.
• When on a slope (FIG 13):
Always stand on the uphill side.
• When using a saw horse (FIG 14):
This is strongly recommended whenever
possible. Position the log in a stable po-
sition. Always cut on the outside of the
saw horse arms. Use clamps or straps to
secure the workpiece.
• When attempting to cut a log on the
ground secure the workpiece using
chocks or wedges.
• The user or a bystander should not
steady the log by si tting or standing
on it.
• Ensure the saw chain does not contact
the ground.
WARNING! Be careful not to let any object or the own hand get into the
hole below the chain cover, it can cause product damage or injury.
