Safety Instructions for Use

Before working with the device

  • Before using our device, read this manual carefully to familiarize yourself with it.
  • Do not work with a chainsaw if you are tired, sick, under stress, taking medications that make you feel tired, alcohol or drugs.
  • Chainsaw work should be carried out in a well-ventilated work area. Do not turn on or use the device in enclosed spaces or buildings. Exhaust fumes contain hazardous carbon monoxide.
  • Do not use the chain saw in conditions of strong wind, bad weather, poor visibility, very high or very low temperatures.
  • Before felling each tree, check for dead branches that may fall during operation.
  • Use non-slip safety shoes, tight-fitting clothing, and safety glasses, hearing protection, and a hard hat. Put on
    anti-vibration gloves. It is believed that the causes of the so-called Raynaud’s disease, which affects the fingers, can be vibration and cold. Pallor and numbness
    fingers. Since the minimum burden at which the symptoms of this disease occur is unknown, precautions are strongly recommended. Try not to freeze, first of all keep your head, neck, feet, ankles, palms and wrists warm. Take breaks more often, do exercises with intensive use of hands to improve blood flow. Do not smoke. The saw chain must always be sharp. The saw, including the vibration protection system, should be carefully looked after. A dull chain increases the length of cut. When pushing such a chain through a tree, the vibration load on the hands increases. Vibrations become even stronger with loose parts, damaged or worn dampers. Limit your work time. Even with all these precautions, it is impossible to exclude numbness of the fingers and the appearance of carpal tunnel syndrome. Therefore, with regular or constant use of the device, attention should be paid to the condition of the hands and fingers. If one of the symptoms described above is observed, immediately consult a doctor.
  • When handling fuel, care must be taken. Wipe up spilled fuel. Before starting the engine, take the chain saw at least 3 m from the refueling point.
  • In places where mixing, transfusion, fuel storage or refueling is carried out, all potential sources of sparks and ignition should be eliminated. Not
    smoke when handling fuel and while using a chainsaw.
  • When starting the engine and while working with the saw, make sure that there are no strangers nearby. There should be no people or animals in the working area. When turned on and in
    During operation of the chainsaw, children, pets and all outsiders must be at least 10 m away.
  • Start work only when the work area is free. Before work, make sure that you are in a stable position and the trunk does not fall on you after the cut. With the engine running, always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands. Hold the chainsaw handles firmly with your fingers.
  • When the engine is running, be careful: do not allow the saw to touch parts of the body. Before starting the engine, make sure that the chain does not touch objects and
    of people.
  • When carrying the chain saw, the engine must be turned off, the guide bar and chain must be directed back, and the muffler should be at a distance from the body.
  • Before each use, check the components of the chain saw for wear, fastening strength and the need for replacement. If the chain saw is damaged, improperly configured, not fully assembled or not strong enough, it must not be used. Note that when the gas lever is released, the chain stops.
  • Except as noted in the user manual, only qualified personnel should perform maintenance on the chain saw (for example, using an inappropriate tool to disassemble the flywheel or hold the handwheel while disassembling the clutch can damage the design of the flywheel, resulting in failure of the flywheel during operation )
  • Always turn off the engine before placing the chain saw.
  • When cutting small branches and shoots, be especially careful: small pieces can get stuck in the chain and be thrown towards the user.
  • Be careful when cutting a clamped or strained branch so that it does not hit you after releasing or relieving tension.
  • The handles must always be dry and clean, with no trace of fuel or combustible mixture.
  • Beware of recoil of the saw. Recoil. this is the upward movement of the guide bar that occurs when an object falls under the saw chain at the end of the guide bar. Kickback can cause a dangerous loss of control of the chain saw.
  • Before transporting the chain saw, be sure to put the protective cover on the guide bar. The device must be in
    A safe position where fuel leakage, device damage, and personal injury are excluded.
  • Precautions against kickback.

CAUTION!
Recoil is possible when the end of the guide bar hits an object or when the saw chain is clamped in the cut.

Contact of the end of the saw bar with any object can cause a lightning reaction: the guide bar is thrown up and towards the user. When the saw chain is clamped at the top of the guide bar, it is possible to quickly push the saw bar towards the user. Any of these reactions can result in loss of control of the saw and, as a result, serious injury.

  • Do not rely solely on the built-in saw guards. When using a chainsaw, certain measures should be taken to prevent accidents and injuries.

(1) If you know what leads to bestowal, you can weaken or eliminate the factor of surprise. Surprise is always fraught with danger of accident.
(2) With the engine running, confidently drive the saw with both hands: with your right hand on the rear handle, with your left. behind the front. Hold the handles firmly and confidently
with your fingers. Strong grip reduces the risk of kickback and allows you to confidently lead the saw. Do not loosen the grip.
(3) Make sure that there are no obstacles in the work area. Avoid contacting the end of the saw bar with a tree trunk, branches or other obstacles that may
meet while working with a saw.
(4) Saw at high speed.
(5) Do not perform work above shoulder height.
(6) Follow the sharpening and maintenance instructions of the chain saw manufacturer.
(7) Use only spare saw tires and chains specified by the manufacturer, or equivalent.

Fuel and chain oil

Fuel.
For engine lubrication, a special oil is used for air-cooled 2-stroke gasoline engines. If this oil is not available, oil for air-cooled 2-stroke engines containing antioxidant additives should be used. RECOMMENDED MIXTURE. GASOLINE 40: OIL 1 (JASO FC or ISO EGC for two-stroke engines with air cooling). These engines are certified for use with unleaded gasoline.

CAUTION!
Fuel is a flammable substance. It is forbidden to smoke near fuel. Flames and sparks should also be avoided.
ATTENTION!
1. APPLICATION OF FUEL WITHOUT OIL (UNCLEANED GASOLINE) very quickly causes serious damage to the internal parts of the engine.
2. OIL DESIGNED FOR 4-STROKE ENGINES OR 2-STROKE ENGINES WITH WATER COOLING, can cause contamination of spark plugs, clogging of exhaust openings or sticking of piston rings.

Preparation of a combustible mixture

Sawing

Kickback protection.

The saw is equipped with a chain brake, which, when used properly, stops the chain in case of kickback. The operation of the chain brake should be checked before each use. To do this, let the saw work for 1-2 seconds at maximum speed, and then take the front manual guard forward. The circuit should stop immediately and the engine should continue to run at maximum speed. If the chain
stops with a delay or does not stop at all, before use, the brake band and clutch drum must be replaced.

Before each use of the saw, it is imperative to check that the chain brake and chain are working properly for sufficient sharpening to control the risk of kickback. Removing safety guards, improper maintenance, or errors when replacing a saw bar or chain may increase the risk of serious injury from kickback.

Valka

  1. The direction of the fall should be determined taking into account the wind, the slope of the tree, the location of heavy branches, further actions and other factors.
  2. Free up space around the tree, take a stable position and ensure a safe escape route.
  3. From the side of the fall, make a saw cut in the trunk of the tree by a third of its thickness.
  4. On the opposite side of the cut just above its base, perform a felling cut.

Sawing and pruning.

CAUTION!
1 Always maintain a stable position and watch for the stability of the tree.
2 Note that the felled trunk may roll back.
3 Read the chapter "Safety Instructions for Use": measures to reduce returns are described there. Before you start, check
the direction of the bending force in the trunk that you are going to saw. Always finish the cut from the side opposite to the bending direction so that the guide rail does not pinch in the cut.

Cut the trunk without supports.

Saw the trunk to the middle, then turn over and finish the cut on the other side.

Cut the trunk on the supports.

Saw the trunk in section A (see illustration above) one third of its thickness from bottom to top, and then the rest from top to bottom. In section B, cut a third of the thickness from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top.
