CUTTING A TRUNK LYING ON THE GROUND
● Always keep good feet and ground grip. Do not stand on the trunk.
●
Watch out for possibility of the trunk rotation.
●
Observe manual guidelines related to work safety to avoid the chain saw recoil.
●
Always finish cutting at the side opposite to compressive stress to avoid pinching the chain in
kerf.
● Before starting to work check the stress direction in the trunk that is to be cut, to avoid pinching chain
of the saw.
●
To eliminate stress, the first cut should be made at the tension side.
●
When cutting a trunk that is lying on the gound, first make a cut deep 1/3 of the trunk diameter, then turn
the trunk over and finish cutting at the opposite side.
●
When cutting a trunk that is lying on the ground, do not allow to sink the cutting chain into the ground
under the trunk. Negligence may cause immediate damage to the chain.
●
When cutting trunk that is lying on the slope, the operator should always be at the slope side above the
trunk.
CUTTING A TRUNK LIFTED ABOVE THE GROUND
In case the log is supported or placed on stable sawing horse, depending on the place of operation, make
the cut 1/3 of the trunk diameter deep on the side under tension and finish cutting on the opposite side
(fig. P and R).
TRIMMING / CUTTING BUSHES AND TREE BRANCHES
● Start cutting branches of a felled tree at its base and continue towards top of the tree. Do small branches
with a single cut.
●
First, check which way the branch bends. Then make a cut from the inside of the bend and finish cutting
on the opposite side. Be careful, the branch being cut may spring back.
●
When trimming tree branches, always cut downward to enable free fall of cut branch. However,
sometimes undercutting the branch from the bottom may be helpful (fig. S).
●
Be very careful when cutting a branch that may be under stress. Such branch may spring aside and hit
the operator.
Do not cut branches when climbing up the tree. Do not stand on ladder, platforms, logs or positions
that may cause loss of balance and control over the chain saw. Do not cut above level of your
shoulders. Always hold the chain saw with both hands.
Ensure the engine is switched off and is cold before cleaning, checking or repairing the chain saw.
Disconnect wire from the ignition plug to prevent accidental start up of the engine.
STORAGE
● Empty the fuel system before deciding to store the tool for more than one month.
●
Drain fuel from the fuel tank, start the engine and allow it to use all remaining fuel and stop working.
●
Use new fuel each season. Never use any cleaning agents on fuel tank, it may damage the engine.
●
Pay special attention to keep the ventilation holes of the engine casing pervious.
●
Clean plastic parts with mild detergent and a sponge.
●
You can proceed with maintenance actions only described within this instruction manual. Any other
action can be carried out only by authorized service.
●
Do not make any changes in chain saw construction.
●
When not in use, chain saw should be stored clean, on flat surface, in dry place and beyond reach of
children.
When storing it is important to avoid deposition of rubber particles in basic parts of the fuel system,
such as carburettor, fuel filter, fuel line and fuel tank. Fuels with alcohol additives (ethanol or
methanol) may absorb moisture, and that during storing causes separation of fuel blend ingredients
and formation of acids. Acidic petrol may damage the engine.
