Operating Guide

WARNING: Be very careful when you
cut a tree that is in tension. There is a
risk that the tree moves quickly before or
after you cut it. Serious injury can occur
if you are in an incorrect position or if
you cut incorrectly.
6. If you must cut across tree/branch, make 2 to 3 cuts,
1 in. apart and with a depth of 2 in. (Fig. 92)
7. Continue to cut more into the tree until the tree/
branch bends and the tension is released. (Fig. 93)
8. Cut the tree/branch from the opposite side of the
bend, after the tension is released.
To use the product in cold weather
CAUTION: Snow and cold weather can
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: Remove the winter cover if
the temperature increases above -5°C/
23°F. Risk of too high engine
temperature and damage to the engine.
