Result
The blue light must
come on (electrical
circuit activated)
and the chain
must not move.
Do not use the
machine if the chain
moves; in this case,
contact your dealer.
The throttle trigger
lever remains blocked.
The levers must
move freely and
not be forced. The
chain moves.
The lever automatically
and rapidly returns
to the idle position.
The chain should stop.
3. The chain must stop
moving immediately.
When the chain has
stopped, release the
throttle trigger lever
and disengage the
chain brake (par. 5.4).
1. Fasten the flat strap with end loops
to the fastening point (Fig. 14.A)
on the rear of the chainsaw.
2. Provide suitable clasp clips to allow
both indirect (via the flat strap with
end slots) and direct (on the chainsaw
fastening point) fastening of the chainsaw
to the operator's belt harness.
3. Make sure that the electrical circuit is
switched off (Lights off) (Fig. 12.B).
4. Make sure the chain brake
is engaged (par. 5.4).
5. Pass the machine to the operator
situated on the tree.
Check that the chainsaw is connected
securely when passed to the operator
in the tree and check that it is fastened
to the belt harness before releasing it
from the equipment used to lift it.
6. Fasten the chainsaw to the fastening
point on the operator's harness (Fig.
16). The fastening points can be central
points (front or rear) or side points:
– where possible, connect the chainsaw to
the rear central point (Fig. 15.A) to prevent
it from interfering with the climbing ropes
and ensure that the weight is supported
by the operator's back (Fig. 17).
NOTE The possibility of fastening the
chainsaw directly to the belt harness
reduces the risk of damaging the equipment
whilst moving around the tree.
The chainsaw must always
be switched off when it is directly
fastened to the belt harness.
IMPORTANT
from one fastening point to another, make sure
the machine is fastened to a new position before
unfastening from the previous fastening point.
