When pruning trees it is important not to make the
■
IT
FR
EN
DE
ES
flush cut next to the main limb or trunk until you have
cut off the limb further out to reduce the weight. This
FR
EN
DE
ES
IT
prevents stripping the bark from the main member.
Under buck the branch 1/3 through for your first cut.
■
FR
EN
DE
ES
IT
Over buck the branch to drop it.
■
Finish by cutting smoothly and neatly against the
FR
EN
DE
ES
IT
■
main member so the bark will grow back to seal the
wound.
FR

WARNINg:

If the limbs to be pruned are above chest height,
FR

hire a professional to perform the pruning.

A springpole is any log, branch, rooted stump, or sapling
which is bent under tension by other wood so that it
FR
EN
DE
ES
IT
springs back if the wood holding it is cut or removed.
On a fallen tree, a rooted stump has a high potential of
FR
EN
DE
ES
IT
springing back to the upright position during the bucking
cut to separate the log from the stump. Watch out for
FR
EN
DE
ES
IT
springpoles — they are dangerous.
FR
EN
DE
ES
IT
WARNINg:
Springpoles are dangerous and could strike the
FR
EN
DE
ES
IT
operator, causing the operator to lose control of
the chainsaw. This could result in severe or fatal
FR
EN
DE
ES
IT
injury to the operator.

WARNINg:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses
with side shields during power tool operation or
when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also
wear a dust mask.
gENERAL MAINTENANcE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, lubricant, grease,
etc.

Do not at any time let brake fluids, petrol,
p e t r o l e u m - b a s e d p r o d u c t s , p e n e t r a t i n g
lubricants, etc., come in contact with plastic
parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious
personal injury.
