5.2.2- Felling a tree
1. Decide the felling direction considering the wind, lean of the
tree, location of heavy branches, ease of completing the task
after felling and other factors.
2. While clearing the area around the tree, arrange a good
foothold and retreat path.
3. Make a notch cut one-third of the way into the tree on the
felling side.
4. Make a felling cut from the opposite side of the notch and at a level slightly higher than the bottom
of the notch
- Before proceeding to your job, read the section "Safety".
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 forbidden to hitch tools or
applications to the PTO (driveshaft) other than those specified by the
manufacturer.
- 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.
- This saw is equipped with a chain brake that will stop the chain in the event of
kickback if operating properly.
You must check the chain brake operation before each usage by running the saw
at full the throttle for 1-2 seconds and pushing the front hand guard forward. The
chain should stop immediately with the engine at full speed. If the chain is slow
to stop or does not stop, replace the brake band and clutch drum before use.
• It is extremely important that the chain brake be checked for proper operation
before each use and that the chain be sharp in order to maintain the kickback
safety level of this saw. Removal of the safety devices, inadequate maintenance,
or incorrect replacement of the bar or chain may increase the risk of serious
personal injury due to kickback.
