To cut trees and branches that are in tension
1. Figure out which side of the tree or branch that is in
tension.
2. Figure out where the point of maximum tension is.
3. Examine which is the safest procedure to release the
tension.
Note: In some situations the only safe procedure
is to use a winch and not your product.
4. Keep a position where the tree or branch can not hit
you when the tension is released.
5. Make one or more cuts of sufficient depth necessary
to decrease the tension. Cut at or near the point of
maximum tension. Make the tree or branch break at
the point of maximum tension.
WARNING: Do not cut straight
through a tree or branch that is in
tension.
WARNING: Be very careful when
you cut a tree that is in tension. There is
a risk that the tree moves quickly before
or after you cut it. Serious injury can
occur if you are in an incorrect position
or if you cut incorrectly.
6. If you must cut across tree/branch, make 2 to 3 cuts,
1 in. apart and with a depth of 2 in.
7. Continue to cut more into the tree until the tree/
branch bends and the tension is released.
8. Cut the tree/branch from the opposite side of the
bend, after the tension is released.
To use the product in cold weather
CAUTION: Snow and cold weather can
cause operation problems. Risk of too low
engine temperature or ice on the air filter
and the carburetor.
1. Clothe a part of air intake on the starter. This
increases the engine temperature.
2. For temperatures below -5°C/23°F or in conditions
with snow, a winter cover is available. Assemble the
winter cover on the starter housing. The winter cover
decreases the flow of cool air and keeps snow away
from the carburetor space.
Note: The winter cover is available as an
accessory.
CAUTION: Remove the winter
cover if the temperature increases above
-5°C/23°F. Risk of too high engine
temperature and damage to the engine.
