OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Fire risk. Turn off the engine before refuelling.
Petrol is extremely flammable. Burn injuries
can be life-threatening. If you spill fuel,
immediately clean the components the fuel has
come in contact with. Clothes on which fuel
has been spilt are to be changed immediately.
Tighten the fuel cap as hard as possible to
minimize the risk that the cap vibrates loose
during sawing.
Never saw with the chainsaw throttle locked.
Always operate the throttle manually when
sawing.
Safety check before starting the chainsaw
Always check that:
…all bolts and knobs are tight on all
equipment.
…there is no risk that you will saw
unintentionally into something behind or at the
ends of the log. Kickback risk!
…the log is firmly secured.
…the fuel cap and oil cap are tightened.
…the chain brake is activated.
…both you and your equipment are standing
firmly on the ground.
...no one but the operator is within the 10 m
safety distance.
STARTING THE CHAINSAW
Read the manual and safety instructions for the
chainsaw. Please contact Logosol if any of the
information is not clear or understood.
Make sure that you are standing firmly. Use the
chainsaw decompression valve, if there is one.
The chain brake should always be activated when
the equipment is being lifted on or off the log.
WHEN USING A PETROL-DRIVEN
CHAINSAW:
DURING SAWING
Hold the chainsaw handle firmly with one hand, and
the crank with the other.
When using only the saw frame (no guide
rails):
Hold the chainsaw handle firmly with both
hands. When the guide bar has completely entered
the log, you can move your right hand to the upper
horizontal saw frame tube, but take great caution.
AFTER EACH CUT
Release the throttle and wait until the chain stops.
Activate the chain brake and turn off the chainsaw
before lifting the equipment off the log. Keep your
work site clean. Always remove slabs and boards.
Never leave the equipment unattended such that
unauthorized persons can start it.
Always keep in mind that most accidents with
dangerous machines happen when something
goes wrong and the operator attempts to fix
it while the machine is still running. Whenever
an operational disturbance occurs, turn the
chainsaw off immediately! A stop seldom
shows up on the finished product.
