Maintenance - Homelite UT43123 Manual Del Operador

 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
from the stump. Watch out for springpoles — they
are dangerous.
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.
WARNING:
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.
OPERATION
CUT LIMBS ONE AT A TIME AND LEAVE SUPPORT
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.
