2. Start cutting lower branches
followed by the higher ones.
3. Make first cut from the bottom towards the
top (Fig. 19.A). Complete delimbing by cutting
from top to bottom, as shown in (Fig. 19.B).
6.4.2.b Limbing tree branches
Limbing means removing the
branches from a felled tree.
Be careful of where the branches are
lying on the ground, the risk of them being
under tension, the direction the branch may
go during cutting and the risk of the tree
being unstable after the branch has been cut.
When limbing, it is necessary to
leave the lower, larger branches to
support the trunk on the ground.
Remove the small branches with
a single cut (Fig. 20.A).
It is recommended to cut the tensioned branches
working from the bottom upwards to prevent
the chainsaw from bending (Fig. 20.B).
6.5 ADVICE FOR OPERATION
IMPORTANT Stop the machine (par. 6.6)
when moving between work areas.
If the machine should get stuck during
pruning high up, the operator must:
1. stop the machine immediately;
2. pull the pruner out from the cut, lifting
the branch where necessary;
3. if necessary, use a handsaw or second
chainsaw to free the trapped pruner, cutting
at a minimum distance of 30 cm from the
trapped pruner. Cutting operations to free
the pruner must always be performed
towards the end of the branch, (i.e. between
the trapped pruner and the end of the
branch and not between the trunk and
the trapped pruner). This will prevent the
pruner from being dragged by the part of
the branch that is cut away, which would
complicate the situation even further.
6.6 STOP
To stop the machine:
• Release the throttle trigger lever (Fig. 14.A).
After releasing the throttle
trigger lever it takes a few seconds
for the toothed chain to stop.
Always stop the machine:
– when moving between work areas.
Do not keep your finger on the throttle
lock button when moving the machine to
avoid accidentally enabling the machine.
6.7 AFTER USE
1. Remove the battery from its housing
and recharge it (par. 7.2.2);
2. Mount the protection bar cover (Fig. 1.J);
3. allow the motor to cool before
storing in an enclosed space;
4. loosen the rod fastening knob
to reduce chain tension.
5. carefully remove any dust and debris
and remove all traces of sawdust or oil
deposits from the chain (par. 7.4.2);
6. check there are no loose or damaged
components. If necessary, replace the
damaged components and tighten
any screws and loose bolts.
6.7.1 After operating with battery
simulator (if provided)
Set the battery pack selector
1.
switch to "OFF" (Fig. 13.B);
2.
remove the battery simulator
from the machine (Fig. 21.O);
3.
slide out the battery backpack;
4.
disconnect the connection cable
from the battery simulator (Fig.21.N)
and the backpack (Fig.13.A);
5.
remove the battery from the backpack
(Fig. 22.B) and recharge it (par. 7.2.2);
6.
Mount the protection bar cover (Fig. 1.J);
7.
allow the motor to cool down
before placing the machine
in any enclosed space;
8. loosenthe rod fastening knob to
reduce the chain tension.;
9. carefully remove any dust and debris
and remove all traces of sawdust or oil
deposits from the chain (par. 7.4.2);
10. check there are no loose or damaged
components. If necessary, replace the
damaged components and tighten
any screws and loose bolts.
IMPORTANT Always remove the battery
(par. 7.2.2) and fit the blade guard whenever
the machine is unused or left unattended.
