b. Sharpening of the chain
For best performance, we strongly recommend that you periodically sharpen the chain. The chain can either
be sharpened by a professional or by yourself by providing you with a sharpening guide (make sure you
know how to use it).
The chain must be sharpened when:
-
Wood chips have become powder
-
To make a normal cut, force on the tool
-
The cut is not straight
-
Vibration increases
c. Checking the lubrication of the chain
Warning: Check the automatic oil function before each use.
Check the automatic operation of the chain lubrication by pointing the tip of the switched –on saw towards a
piece of paper laying on the ground, if a patch of oil appears and becomes larger, then the automatic oil
function is working.
d. Release of a jammed saw
If the saw gets stuck during cutting, the operators should:
-
Saw the saw and attach it securely to the cutting foot of the shaft (i.e. trunk side) or has a separate
chord from the tool
-
Pull the saw of the cluster while the branch is lifted, if necessary,
-
If necessary, use a hand saw or a second chainsaw to release the chain saw.
4. Cutting work
The tool should only be used to cut trees. Do not use it for other applications.
Do not attempt to remove the chainsaw when it is stuck during operation. Stop the machine and remove the
wedge blade with a wedge.
Stick your feet well, keep a good balance and do not climb on the tree trunk.
Try not to work on a slope. However, if you have to work on a slope, always stand higher than the tree trunk.
Before bending a branch or trunk in bending, observe the direction of bending and finish the cut opposite the
bending side to prevent the chain guide from getting stuck in the cut.
a. Felling of trees
Examine the work area and estimate where the tree will fall. Start the machine as described above. Start by
making a notch in the direction of fall chosen.
When the tree falls, shout or make a beep to alert people in the vicinity. When the shaft falls, move away from
the cutting area.
