TRIMMING LIMBS
CUTTING LIMBS
The Turbo Saw can be positioned vertically to trim limbs.
Bring the disc beside the limb and raise the V shaped
portion of the brush shield under the part to be cut.
This allows the cut limb to be directed to the side of the
machine once cut.
INSTRUCTION TO HYDRAULICALLY ROTATE THE
CUTTING HEAD (RT2600 RT3000)
To rotate the saw,
first
hold the rotation button down,
then
activate the hydraulics to turn on the saw blade.
The rotation cylinder gets fluid from the line going to the
saw motor and requires hydraulic pressure to rotate. When
the blade is at full speed, the system doesn’t have much
pressure to rotate the blade.
To rotate back to horizontal repeat the process with the
other button.
nOTE: If using a Rotating model, rotate the cutting disc
to the vertical position. Position the cutting disc above the
limb. Cut from the top down.
WARNING
DO NOT ANGLE THE CUTTING DISC DOWNWARD. The safety shield behind the blade is designed to protect the
operator in either the horizontal position or with the disc pointed upward to trim limbs. Cutting with the cutting disc
facing downward can bend the cutting disc and/or throw debris at the operator. The safety shield is not designed to
protect the operator with the blade pointed downward.
WARNING
Do not cut off a limb that exceeds the weight capacity of
the skid loader including the weight of the Turbo Saw.
WARNING
Raising the loader arms on a skid loader changes the
machine’s center of gravity and can cause a rollover. Be
aware of surrounding terrain.
WARNING
Do not cut a limb that is beyond the weight capacity of the
skid loaders cab in case the limb lands on it.
WARNING
If using a rotating model, the head must be horizontal or
vertical, not in-between. If the rotating head drifts while
cutting, stop cutting and contact a service specialist.
DANGER
WATCH FOR POWER LINES
When trimming limbs, especially along roadsides and near
houses, be aware of power lines. Do not cut a limb that is
entangled or may fall on a power line.
