Checks during work.
It takes specific training to use the machine for felling and de-limbing.
Prolonged exposure to vibrations can cause injuries and neurovascular disorders
(also called “Renaud’s syndrome” or “white hand”), especially to people suffering
from circulation disorders. The symptoms can regard the hands, wrists and fingers
and are shown through loss of sensitivity, torpor, itching, pain and discolouring of
or structural changes to the skin. These effects can be worsened by low ambient
temperatures and/or by gripping the handgrips excessively tightly. If the symptoms
occur, the length of time the machine is used must be reduced and a doctor
consulted.
Never work with the chain loose, as it can be hazardous if the chain slips out of its
guides.
6.9.1.
Checking the chain tension.
6.9.1.1.
The chain tends to stretch gradually as you work, so you need to check its tension
frequently.
6.9.1.2.
To adjust the chain tension, follow the instructions in section 6.3.2.
6.9.2.
Checking the oil delivery.
Make sure the bar and the chain are in place when you check the oil delivery.
Never use the machine without lubrication! You can check the oil level in the tank
through the transparent gauge. Make sure you fill up the oil tank every time you
use the machine.
6.9.2.1.
Run motor and check if the chain oil is delivered as shown in Fig 11.
Always remember that an incorrectly used chain-saw may disturb others and have
a serious impact on the environment.
To respect people and the environment;
Avoid using the machine in environments or at times of the day when it may
disturb others.
You MUST comply with local regulations and provisions for the disposal of waste
materials after sawing.
You MUST comply with local regulations and provisions for the disposal of oils,
damaged parts or any elements which have a strong impact on the environment.
A certain amount of chain lubricating oil is released into the environment when the
machine is running, so only use biodegradable oils made specifically for this use.
To avoid the risk of fire, do not leave the machine with the engine hot on leaves or
dry grass.
