SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4.Take great care when
cutting a tree that is subject
to tension. A tree that is
under tension can spring
back to its original position
both before and after being
cut. Incorrect positioning
on your behalf or when
positioning the cut can
result in the tree hitting you
or the machine so that you
lose control. Both situations
can cause serious personal
injury.
5.The engine should be
switched off before moving.
When moving over longer
distances and transporting
the transport guard should
be used.
6.Never put the machine
down with the engine
running unless you have
good sight of it.
Basic safety precautions
1.Observe your surroundings:
To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot affect
your control of the machine.
To ensure that the above mentioned do not come into
contact with the cutting equipment or objects that can be
thrown by the cutting equipment.
NOTE! Never use a machine without the possibility of
calling for help in the event of an accident.
2.Avoid usage in
unfavourable weather
conditions. For example,
thick fog, heavy rain,
strong winds or extreme
cold, etc. To work in bad
weather conditions is
tiring and can create
dangerous circumstances,
e.g. slippery surfaces,
affect a tree‘s direction of
fall, etc.
3.Make sure you can walk
and stand safely. Look out
for any obstacles with
unexpected movement
(roots, stones, branches,
pits, ditches, etc.). Take
great care when working
on sloping ground.
