Maintenance - Homelite UT43104 Manual Del Operador

 When pruning trees it is important not to make
the finishing cut next to the main limb or trunk
until you have cut off the limb further out to
reduce the weight. This prevents stripping the
bark from the main member.
 Underbuck the branch 1/3 through for your first
cut.
 Your second cut should overbuck to drop the
branch off.
 Now make your finishing cut smoothly and
neatly against the main member so the bark will
grow back to seal the wound.
WARNING:
If the limbs to be pruned are above chest height,
hire a professional to perform the pruning.
Failure to do so could result in death or serious
personal injury.
CUTTING SPRINGPOLES
See Figure 24.
A springpole is any log, branch, rooted stump, or
sapling which is bent under tension by other wood
so that it springs back if the wood holding it is cut
or removed. On a fallen tree, a rooted stump has
a high potential of springing back to the upright
position during the bucking cut to separate the log
WARNING:
Before performing any maintenance, make sure
the tool is unplugged from the power supply.
Failure to comply could result in accidental
starting and possible serious personal injury.
OPERATION
CUT LIMBS ONE AT A TIME AND LEAVE SUPPORT
from the stump. Watch out for springpoles — they
are dangerous.
Springpoles are dangerous and could strike the
operator, causing the operator to lose control
of the chain saw. This could result in severe or
fatal injury to the operator.

MAINTENANCE

Always wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with
head protection. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes and other
possible serious injuries.
When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a haz-
ard or cause product damage.
