It is necessary to take care not to drop the machine or
allow it to bang against any obstacle.
7.1. FIXING THE MACHINE AND GUIDANCE
While working always
hold the saw firmly
with both hands on the
handles. Hold the front
handle with left hand
and right hand rear as a right-handed or left-handed.
ATTENTION!: To reduce the risk of loss of control and
damage (including death) to the user or people nearby,
never use the saw with one hand.
7.2. CUTTING WITH THE CHAINSAW
In order to acquire experience, we recommend you
practice in a comfortable position with small logs
before embarking on important tasks.
Follow the safety regulations that are indicated in the
manual.
This tool must only be used for cutting wood Cutting
other types of material is forbidden.
This tool must not be used as a lever to lift, move or
split objects.
Do not force the tool while cutting. Apply only slight
pressure downwards while the tool is running at full
power.
The weight of the tool is enough to be able to make
the cut.
When the chain gets stuck in the cut, do not try to
pull the chainsaw out while it is still running. Stop the
chainsaw, by putting the ignition switch at the “O”
position and use a lever to free the tool.
7.3. FELLING A TREE
The felling of trees is a dangerous task due to the
danger of the tree or any of its branches falling onto
you and causing injury. Before embarking on any
felling operation, please follow these steps:
1. Decide in which direction the tree is going to
fall (A). Take into account the wind direction, the
inclination of the tree, its width and its branches, as
this could affect the direction in which the tree falls.
2. Check there are no other trees, branches or
obstacles which could be in the way of the tree
when it falls.
3. Check the position in which the tree will be once it
has fallen, in order to ba able to embark on the
cutting tasks.
4. Clear the area around the
tree. Make sure you are going
to work in a stable position and
establish an easy and clear
escape which allows you to
run away if the tree falls in an
unexpected direction.
The safety distance must
be equivalent to at least two
lengths of the tree.
5. Remove the first branches. Firstly remove the
lower branches which make the task more difficult.
Remember that you must never cut the branches
that are above shoulder height. Remember to never
stand directly behind the tool.
6. Make a guiding cut (B) in the shape of a wedge,
the size of a quarter of the width of the tree (1/4d)
on the side on where you want the tree to fall (E).
To do this, make a top cut of 60º and a bottom cut
of 35º. This will ensure the two cuts will form an
