IMPORTANT Never use the machine
without lubrication! The oil tank may also
be empty every time the fuel runs out.
Make sure you top up the oil tank every
time you refuel the machine (par. 7.4).
Make sure the bar and the chain are
in place when you check the oil delivery.

6.4.2.b Felling a tree
IMPORTANT Where two or more persons
are working together on felling and bucking
operations, such operations must be performed
in separate areas at a distance from each
other of at least 2.5 times the height of the tree
being felled. Do not fell trees if this involves
risks of injuring people, coming into contact
with a power line or causing any form of
damage. If the tree should come into contact
with a main power line, report the incident
immediately to the network provider.
