4. Cut off the corner to make the tree fall.
Note:
If the tree does not fall, hit the wedge until it
does.
5. When the tree starts to fall, use the path of retreat to
move away from the tree. Move a minimum of 5
m/15 ft away from the tree.
To free a trapped tree
WARNING:
remove a trapped tree and there is a high
accident risk. Keep out of the risk zone and
do not try to fell a trapped tree.
(Fig. 86)
The safest procedure is to use one of the following
winches:
• Tractor-mounted
(Fig. 87)
• Portable
(Fig. 88)
To cut trees and branches that are in tension
1. Figure out which side of the tree or branch that is in
tension.
2. Figure out where the point of maximum tension is.
(Fig. 89)
3. Examine which is the safest procedure to release the
tension.
Note:
In some situations the only safe procedure
is to use a winch and not your product.
4. Keep a position where the tree or branch can not hit
you when the tension is released. (Fig. 90)

you cut a tree that is in tension. There is
a risk that the tree moves quickly before

To use the product in cold weather
CAUTION:
cause operation problems. Risk of too low
engine temperature or ice on the air filter
and the carburetor.
1. Clothe a part of the air intake on the starter. This
increases the engine temperature.
2. For temperatures below -5°C/23°F or in conditions
with snow, a winter cover is available. Assemble the
winter cover on the starter housing. The winter cover
decreases the flow of cool air and keeps snow away
from the carburetor space. (Fig. 94)
CAUTION:
cover if the temperature increases above
-5°C/23°F. Risk of too high engine
temperature and damage to the engine.
