Jonsered 2033T Operator's Manual page 24

We recommend that you use
a bar that is longer than the
diameter of the tree, so that
you can make the FELLING
and DIRECTIONAL CUTS
with "SINGLE CUTTING
STROKES" (see "Technical
data" to find out which
lengths of bar are
recommended for your saw).
There are methods for felling
trees with a diameter larger
than the bar length. However
these methods involve a much
greater risk that the kickback
zone of the bar will come into
contact with the tree.
!
UNLESS YOU HAVE SPECIAL TRAINING WE
ADVISE YOU NOT TO FELL TREES WITH A
DIAMETER LARGER THAN THE BAR LENGTH
OF YOUR SAW!

MOST KICKBACK ACCIDENTS HAPPEN
DURING LIMBING!PAY CLOSE ATTENTION
TO THE POSITION OF THE KICKBACK ZONE
OF THE BAR WHEN YOU ARE LIMBING
BRANCHES THAT ARE IN TENSION!
Ensure that you can move
about and stand safely! Work
close to the saw for maximum
control. If possible, let the
weight of the saw rest on the
trunk.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4 Sawing logs or branches that are in
tension = very high accident risk
Preparations:
a) Work out which way the tree or branch will move if released
and where the natural "BREAKING POINT" is (i.e. the place
it would break if it was bent even more).
b) Decide which is the SAFEST way to release the tension
and whether YOU are able to do it safely. In complicated
situations the only safe method is to put aside your chain
saw and use a winch.
General advice:
a) Position yourself so that
you do not risk being hit
by the log or branch when
it springs free.
b) Make one or more cuts at
or near the BREAKING
POINT. Make as many
cuts of sufficient depth as
necessary to reduce the
tension and make the log
or branch break at the
BREAKING POINT.
Never cut all the way
through a log or branch
that IS in tension!
