When felling trees observe all safety rules and do as follows:
When the chain is pinched, switch off the chain saw and release the chain with a wedge. Wedge should be made of wood or plastic. Never use steel or
cast iron wedge.
Falling tree may pull other trees.
Danger zone radius is 2.5 height of the falling tree.
If the operator is inexperienced or amateur it is recommended to have training rather than gaining the experience without supervision.
Do not fell trees when:
Conditions in danger zone cannot be determined due to fog, rain, snow or darkness.
Line of tree felling cannot be determined due to wind or wind blows.
4.15. Cutting through trunks.
Press the bumper spike against the material and make a cut.
If the cutting cannot be finished even after the chain saw range is fully utilized, do as follows:
Move the guide bar back from the cut material to a certain distance (with cutting chain still operating) and move the main handle (3) a little down, support
the bumper spike and finish the cut by lifting the main handle (3) a little.
4.16. Cutting a trunk lying on the ground.
Always keep good feet and ground grip. Do not stand on the trunk.
Watch out for possibility of the trunk rotation.
Observe manual guidelines related to work safety to avoid the chain saw recoil.
Always finish cutting at the side opposite to compressive stress to avoid pinching the chain in kerf.
Before starting to work check the stress direction in the trunk that is to be cut, to avoid pinching chain of the saw.
To eliminate stress, the first cut should be made at the tension side.
When cutting a trunk that is lying on the ground, first make a cut deep 1/3 of the trunk diameter, then turn the trunk over and finish cutting at the opposite
side.
When cutting a trunk that is lying on the ground, do not allow to sink the cutting chain into the ground under the trunk. Negligence may cause immediate
damage to the chain.
When cutting trunk that is lying on the slope, the operator should always be at the slope side above the trunk.
4.17. Cutting a trunk lifted above the ground.
In case the log is supported or placed on stable sawing horse, depending on the place of operation, make the cut 1/3 of the trunk diameter deep on the
side under tension and finish cutting on the opposite side.
4.18. Trimming and cutting bushes and tree branches.
Start cutting branches of a felled tree at its base and continue towards top of the tree. Do small branches with a single cut.
First, check which way the branch bends. Then make a cut from the inside of the bend and finish cutting on the opposite side. Be careful, the branch
being cut may spring back.
When trimming tree branches, always cut downward to enable free fall of cut branch. However, sometimes undercutting the branch from the bottom may
be helpful.
Be very careful when cutting a branch that may be under stress. Such branch may spring aside and hit the operator.
Do not cut branches when climbing up the tree. Do not stand on ladder, platforms, logs or positions that may cause loss of balance and control over the
chain saw. Do not cut above level of your shoulders. Always hold the chain saw with both hands.
4.19. Safe work with chain saw.
Never use the chain saw during rain and in moisture. Whenever the extension cord is damaged, remove its plug from mains socket immediately. Never
use damaged power cord. All parts should be assembled properly and fulfill requirements that ensure safe chain saw operation. Any damaged protective part
should be repaired or replaced immediately.
5. Operation and maintenance.
Unplug the power cord from the mains socket before commencing any activities related to installation, adjustment, repair or maintenance.
5.1. Storage.
Pay special attention to keep the ventilation holes of the engine casing pervious.
Clean plastic parts with mild detergent and a sponge.
You can proceed with maintenance actions only described within this instruction manual. Any other action can be carried out only by authorized service.
Do not make any changes in chain saw construction.
When not in use, chain saw should be stored clean, on flat surface, in dry place and beyond reach of children.
5.2. Guide bar and saw chain.
Check condition of the guide bar and chain every 5 hours of the saw operation.
Remove the casing and disassemble guide bar (9) and chain (8).
Clean oil holes and groove in the guide bar (9).
Lubricate tip chain wheel of the guide bar (10) through the hole located on the guide bar tip.
Check condition of the chain (8).
5.3. Chain sharpening.
Pay attention to cutting tools. Cutting tools should be sharp and clean, it allows efficient and safe operation. Operating the saw with blunt chain causes
quick wear of the chain, guide bar and driving chain wheel, and breaking the chain in the worst case. That is why it is important to sharpen the chain on time.
Chain sharpening is a complex operation. Sharpening the chain by yourself requires use of special tools and skills. It is recommended to entrust
sharpening the chain to qualified persons.
All faults should be repaired by service workshop authorized by the RAIDER.
6. Environmental protection.
Never place any electric tools in your household refuse.
To comply with European Directive 2012/19/EC concerning old electric and electronic equipment and its implementation in national
laws, old electric tools have to be separated from other waste and disposed of in an environment-friendly fashion, e.g. by taking to a
recycling depot.
Recycling alternative to the demand to return electrical devices:
As an alternative to returning the electrical device, the owner is obliged to cooperate in ensuring that the device is properly recycled if
ownership is relinquished. This can also be done by handing over the used device to a returns center, which will dispose of it in accordance
with national commercial and industrial waste management legislation. This does not apply to the accessories and auxiliary equipment
