3 Safety Instructions
Danger:
Failure to follow instructions may result in severe
injuries or even death!

Always work with normal plastic or aluminum wedges for support. Make sure to
keep feeding in the wedges when operating the mechanical felling wedge.

The maximum torque for the mechanical felling wedge is 80 Nm. Apply no more than
31 kg manual force to the extended telescopic ratchet (approx. 580 mm lever length)
to avoid overloading the spindle.

This device does not replace wire ropes and winches. Only use it if you believe that
the tree could be felled with classic wedges. Do not try to fell trees with the
mechanical felling wedge that have a pronounced side or back lean in order to avoid
overloading the device. Make sure you are familiar with this device before you use it.

Do not forcibly drive the mechanical felling wedge TR24 into the felling cut. You
might damage the hexagon head and nut.

Do not push or hit the felling wedge. This could bend the threaded spindle.
