15 Mechanical Timber Harvesting Handbook
Cutting Safety
• Ensure you and all other personnel are clear of the Chain Shot
Zone (see pages 1).
• Always cut as close to the ground as possible. This should
reduce lubricant mist and wood chip dust on the cab and
radiators, reduce timber cracking during cut-to-length
processing, and reduce the range of any broken cutting
system components.
WARNING: There is risk of serious injury or death to the
machine operator, ground personnel and bystanders from
chain shot. Do not exceed our recommendations for saw chain
speed, feed-force, lubrication, tension, and maintenance.
Notice: Following these best practices consistently will
increase your safety and the life of your cutting system.
