Observe the following safety instructions:
- Support logs so that the face sides at the cut do not close
in against each other, which would result in the chain being
jammed or pinched. (See Fig.22)
- Position and set short logs safety prior to sawing. Saw only
wood or wooden objects. When sawing, always take care
to avoid hitting stones, nails, ect, as these could be thrown
up or cause damage to the chain or serious injury to the
operator or bystanders.
- Keep a running saw clear or wire fencing or the ground.
Use of the saw to thin out branches or bushes is not
approved.
- Length cuts must be carried out with care, as leverage with
the spiked bumper (15) is not possible. Saw at a flat angle
to avoid kickback.
- When working on a slope, operate above or to the side of
the trunk or laying tree.
- Be careful not to trip over tree stumps, branches, roots,
etc.
7. CUTTING LOGS.
Fig. 22
There is a high risk of accidents when sawing wood, branch
or trees under tension. Be extremely careful.Leave saw jobs
like these to professionals.When sawing logs supported
on both ends, start the cut from above(Y) about 1/3 of the
diameter into the log and then finish the cut (Z) from below,
in order to avoid contact of the chain saw with the ground.
When sawing logs supported on only one end, start the cut
from below (Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into the log and
finish the cut from above (Z) in order to avoid log splitting or
jamming of the chain saw.
