Starting The Warm Engine; Chain Lubrication Test; Chain Catcher - Hitachi Koki Tanaka TCS 33EDTP Manual De Instrucciones

Starting the warm engine

Use only 1, 2, 7, and 9 of the starting procedure for a
cold engine.

procedure as for a cold engine.

Chain lubrication test

Check that chain oil is discharged properly. When
the saw chain starts to revolve, point the head of the
guide bar to a stump, etc., and pull the throttle trigger to
perform high-speed operation for around 10 seconds.
If chain oil is sprayed over the stump, it is discharged
properly. (Fig. 18)
WARNING
Do not carry the machine with the engine running.
Stopping (Fig. 19)
Decrease engine speed, and push ignition switch (16)

WARNING
Do not put the machine where there are fl ammable
materials such as dried grass, since the muffl er is
still hot after the engine has stopped.
NOTE
If the engine does not stop, it can be forced to stop
by rotating the choke lever to the choked position.
Before restarting the engine, ask our dealer for
repairs.
WARNING
○ Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
○ Use extra caution when felling, and do not use
the saw in a nose-high position or above shoulder
height.

CHAIN CATCHER

The chain catcher is located on the power head just
below the chain to further prevent the possibility of a
broken chain striking the chain saw user.
WARNING
Do not stand in-line with chain when cutting.
BASIC TECHNIQUES FOR MAKING FELLING,
LIMBING AND BUCKING CUTS
The intention of the following information is to provide
you with the general introduction to wood cutting
techniques.
WARNING
○ This information does not cover all specific
situations, which may depend on differences in
terrain, vegetation, kind of wood, form and size of
trees, etc. Consult your servicing dealer, forestry
agent or local forestry schools for advice on specifi c
woodcutting problems in your area. This will make
your work more effi cient and safer.
○ Avoid cutting in adverse weather conditions, such as
dense fog, heavy rain, bitter cold, high winds, etc.
Adverse weather is often tiring to work in and creates
potentially dangerous conditions such as slippery
ground.
High winds may force the tree to fall in an unexpected
direction causing property damage or personal
injury.
CAUTION
Never use a chain saw to pry or for any purpose for
which it is not intended.
WARNING
○ Avoid stumbling on obstacles such as stumps, roots,
rocks, branches and fallen trees. Watch out for holes
and ditches. Be extremely cautious when working
on slopes or uneven ground.
