Cutting techniques:
Always start the cut with the engine at
full throttle.
Always pull the saw out of the cut with
the chain running.
–
Cut straight through thin limbs
–
In case of thick limbs, first perform
relieving cut from below (approx. 1/5
of diameter), then buck from above
–
Support and secure heavy
branches with ropes.
If the saw gets pinched in the cut:
–
Shut off the engine and secure the
saw to the tree – in direction of
trunk.
–
Carefully free the saw from the cut,
using another saw if necessary.
Limbs under tension:
N
Always start relieving cut (1) at the
compression side (A).
N
Make relieving cut (1) and then
perform bucking cut (2) at the
tension side (B) – the saw will
otherwise pinch or kick back.
If not otherwise possible, make the
bucking cut from the bottom upwards
(underbuck) – be wary of pushback.
A cutting attachment consists of the saw
chain, guide bar and chain sprocket.
The cutting attachment that comes
standard is designed to exactly match
the chain saw.
–
The pitch (t) of the saw chain (1),
chain sprocket and the nose
sprocket of the Rollomatic guide bar
must match.
–
The drive link gauge (2) of the saw
chain (1) must match the groove
width of the guide bar (3).
If non-matching components are used,
the cutting attachment may be damaged
beyond repair after a short period of
operation.
Releasing the chain brake
N
Pull hand guard towards the front
handle until it engages audibly –
chain brake is released
Removing the chain sprocket cover
N
Turn the captive nut (1) to the left
until it hangs loosely in the chain
sprocket cover
N
Remove the chain sprocket
cover (2) with captive nut
