V. OPERATION
5.1- Before starting
WARNING
- Before proceeding to your job, read the "Safety" section..
- It is recommended to first practice sawing easy logs. This also helps you get
accustomed to your machine.
- Always follow the safety regulations.
- The chain saw must only be used for cutting wood. It is forbidden to cut other types of
material. Vibrations and kickback vary with different materials and the requirements of
the safety regulations would not be respected.
- Do not use the chain saw as a lever for lifting, moving or splitting objects.
- Do not lock it over fixed stands.
- It is not necessary to force the saw into the cut. Apply only light pressure while running the engine
at full throttle.
- When the saw chain is caught in the cut, do not attempt to pull it out by force, but use a wedge or a
lever to open the way.
- Check that the power supply (voltage and amperage) corresponds with the specifications on the
machine. Connect machine to mains power.
- Before starting work, always check the condition of the chain, to work safely.
- Check the oil level is sufficient. If the oil level is down to about 5 mm from the lower scale, it is
imperative to add oil. If the level is above this scale, you can start work.
- Check that the lubrication mechanism of the chain is working properly (see 4.10):
- Check the chain tension, and its attachment (see "chain tension).
In some circumstances, it is dangerous to proceed to felling.
Do not cut down a tree:
- If you do not have a clear view of the felling area, for example because of fog, rain, snow, or at dusk
or dawn.
- If you can not precisely determine the direction of tree fall, because of unpredictable wind's
strength and direction.
- if felling is located on a slippery, wet or frozen ground, which does not allow you to get proper
footing and balance.
5.2- Working with the chainsaw
5.2.1- Felling a tree
Felling demands great experience. Both, felling and limbing should be carried out by trained
persons only.
ATTENTION! National or local regulations may restrict the use of the
machine. Check with your local authority
Note: careful daily inspection should be performed before use and after a drop
or shock to identify major defects. Do not use the machine until the defects have
been repaired.
Restrict working hours to a minimum and always take rest periods.
For proper use, after each work period take a rest period (for ex take a rest for
10 minutes after a work period of 30 minutes).
