OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ELECTRICAL CHAIN SAW
EN Instructions for proper use
Always file from the inner tooth side outwards. At backward pull lift the file.
First sharpen teeth tips on one side.Then turn the saw and file teeth tips on the other side.
Sharpen teeth tips so that they have the same length. Once horizontal length drops below 3
mm (1/8“), the chain is worn out and cannot be used any more.
Sawing through
ATTENTION! Once saw chain gets stuck in cut, turn the saw off!
ATTENTION! Do not try to release it by tugging. The chain could get released unexpectedly
and you could get injured. Release the saw carefully by pulling.
At cutting a trunk lying on ground there is a risk that the saw gets stuck or the trunk splits.
However, it is hard to minimize this risk.
Run a direct cut through trunk. When finishing the cut, pay attention and make sure you do
not cut the saw in ground. Make the cut with saw set to maximum revolutions. Get prepared
for trunk cutting at cut end.
- If the trunk can be turned, stop cutting when you reach 2/3 of the trunk.
- Turn the trunk and finish the remaining 1/3 of cross-section from top.
When cutting the trunk placed on one side it is very probable that the trunk gets
split if you run a direct cut from top downwards.
- First cut the trunk from the bottom (approximately to 1/3 of trunk diameter).
- Complete the cut from top.
When cutting the trunk supported at both ends there is high probability in running a direct cut
from top that the saw gets stuck in the middle of the cut.
- Make a trunk cut from above (approx. 1/3 of trunk diameter).
- Complete the cut from the bottom.
Lopping
ATTENTION! Most of the accidents caused by recoil occur at removing branches. That is
why you should pay maximum attention to eliminating this risk.
All principles used above in the section on sawing through apply also to cutting thick
branches.
Make complicated lopping in several stages.
Assume safe posture through removing all objects that you could trip over. Always have the
tree trunk that you cut at your right hand. For better control, keep saw body as close to your
body as possible.
Felling
ATTENTION! Felling is the work requiring a lot of experience. If you are not experienced in
tree felling, do not do this work! Do not do any works for which you are not experienced
enough!
