Maintenance; Storage - Scheppach OREGON DOUBLE GUARD 91 Mode D'emploi

Lopping (Fig. J)
• Lopping means removing branches from the felled
tree.
• Leave the larger limbs that are underneath the
felled tree, and use them as support while you
continue to work.
• Start at the base of the felled tree and work your
way up to the top. Remove smaller parts of the tree
with a cut in the direction of growth (arrows Fig. J).
• Be sure to keep the tree between you and the saw.
• Remove larger, supporting branches using the
methods in the section „Bucking without restraints".
• Always cut branches under tension from the
underneath to the top, so the saw does not become
trapped.
• Always cut small and freely hanging limbs with one
cut. By undercutting they could fall in and pinch the
saw.
Trimming (Fig. I)
Attention: Leave stubs in branches or below cut
them to shoulder level only. Never cut branches
above shoulder height. Leave such work to an expert.
• Make the first cut (Item 1) 1/3 in the bottom of the
limb.
• Then cut the second section (Item 2) all the way
through the branch. The third section (item 3) is
a general section that allows you to separate the
branch at 2.5 to 5 cm from the trunk.
Sawing on a slope (Fig. K)
When sawing on a slope, make sure you always
stand higher than the tree trunk (Fig. K). In order to
maintain complete control at the moment of "sawing
through", reduce pressure towards the end of the
cut without releasing your tight grip on the handles
of the chainsaw.
Warning!: The saw chain must not come in contact
with the ground..
After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to
come to a standstill before removing the chainsaw.
Always turn off the chainsaw's motor when going
from one tree to the next.

• Do not modify the power saw in any way as this
could jeopardize its safety.
• Should the chainsaw fail despite our careful
manufacturing and inspection procedures, have it
repaired by an authorized Customer Service work-
shop.
Filling in chain oil
To prevent dirt getting inside the tank, clean the oil
tank cap (21) before opening. Check the contents of
the oil tank during sawing work by checking the oil
gauge (15). Close the oil tank cap tightly and wipe
away any spills.
Sharpening the saw chain
You can have your saw chain sharpened fast and
correctly by specialist dealers, from whom you can
also obtain chain sharpening equipment to enable
you to sharpen the chain yourself.
