The raw materials in this packaging can be reused or recycled. When using the equipment, a few safety precautions must be observed to avoid injuries and damage. [. . . ] Never use a chainsaw which is obviously damaged. Oil container Fill level of the oil container. Even while working, keep checking that sufficient oil is in the system. To avoid damaging the chainsaw, never run the saw if there is no oil in the system or if the oil drops below the "min" mark (Fig. On average, a single filling will last around 15 minutes depending on the number of pauses in cutting and the loads involved. Saw chain Tension of the saw chain, condition of the cutting elements. First make the lower horizontal felling notch (1). This prevents the saw chain or the guide rail from becoming trapped when the second felling notch is made. 17) The felling cut should be positioned at least 50 mm above the horizontal felling notch. Make the felling cut (B) parallel to the horizontal felling notch. The felling cut should be cut to a depth which leaves a thin strip (felling hinge strip) (D) which can act as a hinge. This strip prevents the tree from rotating and falling in the wrong direction. When the felling cut gets close to the strip the tree should start to fall. If it becomes clear that the tree may well fall in a different direction to the desired fall direction (C) or it starts to lean back and traps the saw chain, interrupt the felling cut and insert wedges made of wood, plastic or aluminum to open out the cut and control the lean of the tree until it leans in the required direction. When the tree starts to fall, remove the chainsaw from the cut, switch it off, place it on the ground and exit the danger zone via the planned escape route. Watch out for falling branches and take care not to trip. Removing branches Here we are talking about removing branches from the felled tree. When removing branches, leave any downward facing branches which are supporting the tree until the trunk of the tree has been cut up. smaller branches should be removed as shown in Fig. 18 (A= cutting direction when removing branches, B= keep away from the ground!Supporting branches should be left until the trunk is cut up) in a single cut from the bottom to the top. Any branches which are under tension should be cut from the bottom to the top to prevent the saw from becoming trapped.
