English
If you are going to cut with the trunk on one extreme
(A) you will have to start inversely. Firstly cut the trunk
halfway from the bottom and then from the top part
(2).
7.3.3. CUTTING BRANCHES FROM A FELLED TREE
It is important that
these branches are not
folded and/or under
tension. If the branch
to be cut is folded or
under tension y could propel itself towards you when
you cut it.
To cut a branch, in this case, cut 1/4 of the way on
the side where the branch has the tension and after
that cut the rest of the branch from the other side
(see diagram). This way you will avoid that the branch
tension closes the cut and/or blocks the chain and bar
of the machine.
7.3.4. CUTTING THE BRANCH FROM A TREE
To cut a branch from a tree that
is not touching the ground cut
a quarter of the way from the
bottom side (1) and then cut the
rest from the top end (2).
This way you will help the
aperture of the cut and that the branch does not pull
and damage the tree trunk.
7.3.5. BRANCH CUTTING OR SMALL TRUNK CUTTING
When cutting branches or
small trunks use a strong
support such as an easel.
Never hold the trunk by using
your feet or asking someone else to hold the wood
for you.

8. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

The removal of security mechanisms, an
inappropriate maintenance, the substitution of the
bar and chain with non original spares could cause
severe corporal damages.
Always carry out maintenance work with
the machine unplugged from the mains.
Carry out the following maintenance checks prior to
working as well as when finishing your job to ensure
the good functioning of this machine in the future.
8.1. EXIT ORIFICE OF THE CHAIN OIL
Dismount the bar and check
that the oil orifice (A) is not
clogged.
8.2. SHARPNESS OF CHAIN TEETH
Attention!: An incorrectly sharpened chain increases
the risk of kick back as well as increasing the vibration
level and possible accidents!
To ensure that the machine cuts correctly, maintain
the chain sharpened. You must also sharpen the chain
if:
• You must place more pressure to cut.
• The cut is not straight.
• There is an increase of the vibration levels.
• When cutting instead of splinters you see shavings.
