boulders and other obstructions.
● Operators must wear steel toe safety shoes and snug-fitting, tear-
resistant work cloths.
● No additional customised protections or tools are provided on board
of the machine, other than the ones designed and supplied by the manufacturer.
● The cardan shaft keeps turning (PTO models) till the blade comes to
a complete stop after switching the machine off.
● Do not apply pressure (for instance by means of the wood stock)
against the blade to make it come to a quicker stop.
● The machine is not designed for indoor use (dust release).
● Make sure that the cardan shaft is not coupled when you start the
engine of your tractor.
● NEVER leave the machine unattended with the running motor.
● Before leaving the operator‘s station for any reason, stop the ma-
chine motor, disconnect power and secure the machine against acci-
dental operation.

tion. Make sure to feel perfectly fit and comfortable when you work-
with a saw. Stop and take a rest at first occurrence of any stressful-
condition or sign of fatigue.
4.1 Safety rules about saw blade
The unit is strictly designed for use with a 700mm (outer diameter)
blade. The blade (Cr) is capable to withstand a maximum number of
revolutions of 3000 rev. per minute. Strictly use blades as per EN Standard 847-1.
Do not ever use worn out blades in need of sharpening.
Make sure that the blade shows good conditions, no damages, no
cracks, no buckling and no missing/broken teeth/bits.
Hard metal blades require special care and handling. Make sure that
the blade bits do not ever hit against hard surfaces (for example con-
crete floors), which might cause invisible bits damage. Hard metal
blades must be suitable to operate at 2700 revolutions per minute.
4.2 Mandatory application field
These log-cutting saws are strictly designed for cutting firewood
chunks loaded on the special log carriage. All other applications are
forbidden and considered as “misuse”.
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage or injury resulting from
misuse! The machine is capable to handle wood stocks in diameter of
8 - 26 cm. Shrubs and tiny branches bundles must be loaded on the
trough and securely hold on both sides of the blade.
The machine is strictly conceived for ONE-MAN OPERATION ONLY.
