Felling A Tree - WARRIOR WEP8190CS Bedienungsanleitung

10. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning
and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance
for kickback.
11. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of
control. Sharpen or replace chains regular.
12. Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes
not intended. For example: do not use chain saw for
cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials.
Use of the chain saw for operations different than
intended will result in a hazardous situation.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide
bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and
pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse
reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the
operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide
bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the
operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control
of the saw which could result in serious personal injury/
death. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices
built into your saw. As a chain saw user, you should
take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from
accident or injury by allowing the saw off area to fall
freely.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided
by taking proper precautions as given below:
-Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling
the chain saw handles, with both hands on the saw
and position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by
the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let
go of the chain saw.
-Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height.
This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables
better control of the chain saw in unexpected situations.
-Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the
manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains
may cause chain breakage and/or kickback or damage
to the tool.
-Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth
gauge height can lead to increased kickback or
personally injury.

fELLING A TREE

When bucking and felling operations are being
performed by two or more persons at the same time, the
felling operations should be separated from the bucking
operation by a distance of at least twice the height of the
tree being felled. Trees should not be felled in a manner
that would endanger any person, strike any utility line
or cause any property damage. If the tree does make
accidentally contact with any utility line, the company
should be notified immediately.
The chain saw operator should keep on the uphill side
of the terrain as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill
after it is felled.
An escape path should be planned and cleared as
necessary before cuts are started. The escape path
should extend back and diagonally to the rear of the
expected line of fall as illustrated.
Before felling is started, consider the natural lean of
the tree, the location of larger branches and the wind
direction to judge which way the tree will fall.
Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire
from the tree.
