SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

All control over the felling direction is lost if the felling hinge is too narrow or non-existent, or if the directional cuts and felling cut are badly placed.

When the felling cut and directional cut are complete the tree should start to fall by itself or with the aid of a felling wedge or breaking bar.

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 the 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.

WARNING! Unless you have special training

!we advise you not to fell trees with a diameter larger than the bar length of your saw!

Limbing

WARNING! Most kickback accidents happen

!during limbing! Pay close attention to the position of the kickback zone of the bar when you are limbing branches that are in tension!

Make sure that you can stand and move about safely. Work on the left side of the trunk. Work as close as possible to the chain saw for maximum control. If possible, let the weight of the chain saw rest on the trunk.

Keep the trunk between you and the chain saw as you move along the trunk.

Cutting the trunk into logs

See instructions under the heading Basic cutting technique.

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.

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!

The chainsaw is equipped with the X-Torq engine technology, which significantly reduces fuel consumption and emissions, enabling users to work longer while minimizing environmental impact. Additionally, the CS 2150 features a high chain speed of 22.3 m/s, allowing for swift and clean cuts.

The CS 2145 EPA II further enhances performance with its lightweight design, making it easy to maneuver for prolonged use without fatigue. Powered by a 45.7 cc engine, it combines efficiency with raw power, providing reliable performance for both professionals and homeowners. The inclusion of an easy-start system means that users can start the saw with minimal effort, which is especially advantageous during colder weather or when working in challenging environments. Its validated safety features, including a chain brake and low kickback bar, ensure user protection during operation.

The CS 2141 EPA II offers a perfect balance of power and manageability. With a smaller 40.9 cc engine, it is particularly suited for users looking for an efficient saw that doesn't compromise on performance. The lightweight design allows for easy handling, particularly in dense and difficult terrain. Like the other models, it utilizes the X-Torq engine technology, which ensures reduced emissions and optimal fuel efficiency. Its precise design and ergonomic handle make it comfortable for extended periods of use, catering to both professional loggers and landscape maintenance users.

Each of these models shares characteristics such as an efficient air filtration system, which prolongs engine life by keeping dirt and debris out. In addition, they are designed with vibrations dampening technology, reducing fatigue for the user. The easy access to the filter and spark plug simplifies maintenance, ensuring the chainsaws remain in peak condition.

In conclusion, the Jonsered CS 2150 EPA I, CS 2145 EPA II, and CS 2141 EPA II represent a solid lineup of chainsaws that combine power, efficiency, and safety.
