8. Sawing
WARNING
Before proceeding to your job, read „For Safe Operation“
section It is recommended to first practice sawing easy
logs. This also helps you get accustomed to your unit.
Always follow the safety regulations. The chain saw
must only be used for cutting wood. It is forbidden to cut
other types of material. Vibrations and kickback vary with
different materials and the requirements of the safety
regulations would not be respected. Do not use the chain
saw as a lever for lifting, moving or splitting objects. Do
not lock it over fixed stands. It is forbidden to hitch tools
or applications to the PTO that are not specified by the
manufacturer.
It is not necessary to force the saw into the cut. Apply
only light pressure while running the engine at full
throttle.
It is recommended that daily inspection before use and
after dropping or other impacts to identify significant
damage or defects.
Racing the engine with the chain seized in a cutaway
can damage the clutch system. When the saw chain is
caught in the cut, do not attempt to pull it out by force,
but use a wedge or a lever to open the cut.
Guard against kickback
This saw is also equipped with a chain brake that will
stop the chain in the event of kickback if operating pro-
perly. You must check the chain brake operation before
each usage by running the saw at full throttle for 1 or
2 seconds and pushing the front hand guard forward.
The chain should stop immediately with the engine at
full speed. If the chain is slow to stop or does no stop
then replace the brake band and clutch drum before use.
It is extremely important that the chain brake be checked
for proper operation before each use and that the chain
be sharp in order to maintain the kickback safety level
of this saw. Removal of the safety devices, inadequate
maintenance, or incorrect replacement of the bar or
chain may increase the risk of serious personal injury
due to kickback.
Felling a tree
1. Decide the felling direction considering the wind,
Iean of the tree, location of heavy branches, ease of
job after felling, and other factors .
2. While clearing the area around the tree, arrange a
good foothold and retreat path.
3. Make a notch cut one-third of the way into the tree
on the felling side.
4. Make a felling cut from the opposite side of the notch
and at a level slightly higher than the bottom of the
notch.
WARNING
When you fell a tree, be sure to warn your neighboring
workers of the danger.
