WORKING TECHNIQUES

We recommend that you use a bar that is longer than the diameter of the tree, so that you can make the felling cut and directional cuts with single cutting strokes. See instructions under the heading Technical data section 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.

Freeing a tree that has fallen badly

Freeing a ”trapped tree”

It is very dangerous to remove a trapped tree and there is high accident risk.

Never try to fell the tree that is trapped.

Never work in the risk zone of the hanging trapped tree.

The safest method is to use a winch.

•Tractor-mounted

•Portable

Cutting trees and branches that are in tension

Preparations: Work out which side is in tension and where the point of maximum tension is (i.e. where it would break if it was bent even more).

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:

Position yourself so that you will be clear of the tree or branch when the tension is released.

Make one or more cuts at or near the point of maximum tension. Make as many cuts of sufficient depth as necessary to reduce the tension and make the tree or branch break at the point of maximum tension.

Never cut straight through a tree or branch that is in tension!

If you must cut across tree/limb, make two to three cuts, one inch apart, one to two inches deep.

Continue to cut deeper until tree/limb bends and tension is released.

Cut tree/limb from outside the bend, after tension has been released.

CS 2145S, CS 2141S specifications

The Jonsered CS 2141S and CS 2145S chainsaws are powerful tools designed for both professional and avid hobbyist woodworkers. Known for their robust construction and efficient performance, these chainsaws embody reliability and advanced technology, making them ideal for a variety of cutting tasks.

One of the standout features of the Jonsered CS 2141S and CS 2145S is their powerful engines. The CS 2141S is equipped with a 40.9cc engine, while the CS 2145S boasts a slightly more powerful 45.7cc engine. This difference in engine size translates to enhanced cutting performance, allowing users to tackle larger logs and more demanding jobs with ease. Both models deliver excellent power-to-weight ratios, ensuring that users can work for extended periods without excessive fatigue.

These models also incorporate advanced technologies that elevate their functionality. One notable innovation is the X-Torq engine, which reduces fuel consumption and emissions. This is particularly beneficial for environmentally conscious users, as it helps lessen the ecological footprint without compromising on power or performance. Additionally, the effective anti-vibration system minimizes the impact of vibrations on the user, enhancing comfort and control during operation.

Another key characteristic of the CS 2141S and CS 2145S is their ease of use and maintenance. The Quick Release Air Filtration system allows for efficient cleaning and replacement, ensuring that the engine performs at its best. Furthermore, the chain brake feature provides added safety by automatically stopping the chain in the event of kickback, making these chainsaws safer to operate.

Both models are designed for versatility, featuring adjustable oil pumps that allow users to regulate the flow of bar and chain oil for improved lubrication and extended chain life. The ergonomically designed handles offer optimal grip and control, which is essential for precision cutting.

In summary, the Jonsered CS 2141S and CS 2145S chainsaws are powerful and efficient tools equipped with advanced technologies that promote ease of use, safety, and environmental sustainability. Whether for professional forestry work or home woodcutting projects, these models are reliable choices that deliver outstanding performance and durability.
