5. Make one or more cuts of sufficient depth necessary to decrease the tension. Cut at or near the point of maximum tension. Make the tree or branch break at the point of maximum tension. The safest procedure is to use one of the following winches: • Tractor-mounted • Portable WARNING: Do not cut straight through a tree or branch that is in tension. 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. 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. 7. Continue to cut more into the tree until the tree/ branch bends and the tension is released. 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. 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. 20 544 - 005 - 10.05.2019
