Crosscutting; Felling Operations - Partner 1750 Operator's Manual

CAUTION!
If the chain becomes stuck in the
kerf, STOP THE SAW!
Do not attempt to jerk the saw free.
You could be harmed by the chain
if the saw suddenly comes loose.
Lever the saw free instead.
• Cutting a log on the ground. There is little danger of the
saw jamming or the log splintering, but it is diffi cult to avoid
running the saw into the ground when breaking through at
the end of the cut.
Saw straight through the log. Be careful at the end of the
cut to avoid contact with the ground. Keep the saw running
at full speed, but be prepared for the breakthrough.
- If it is possible to turn the log, stop cutting 2/3
of the way through the log.
- Turn the log and cut the remaining section from above.
CAUTION!
Felling a tree is a job which calls for experience. Do not attempt to fell trees if you are
inexperienced. DO NOT CARRY OUT ANY OPERATIONS FOR WHICH YOU DO NOT
FEEL QUALIFIED!
CAUTION!
Beginning chain saw operators should gain experience cutting logs on a sawhorse or
similar arrangement.
CAUTION!
We advise operators without suffi cient experience against felling trees with trunk
diameters exceeding their guide bar length.
