OPERATION
PREOPERATION PROCEDURES
CHECK POWER SOURCE
1.Using a calibrated flowmeter and pressure gauge, check that the hydraulic power source develops a flow of
2.Make certain that the hydraulic power source is equipped with a relief valve set to open at
CONNECT HOSES
1.Wipe all hose couplers with a clean
2.Connect the hoses from the hydraulic power source to the tool fittings or quick disconnects. It is good practice to connect return hoses first and discon- nect them last to minimize or avoid trapped pressure within the tool.
3.Observe the arrow on the couplers to ensure that the flow is in the proper direction. The female cou- pler on the tool hose is the inlet (pressure) coupler.
4.Move the hydraulic circuit control valve to the “ON” position to operate the tool.
NOTE:
If uncoupled hoses are left in the sun, pressure in- crease inside the hose may make them difficult to connect. Whenever possible, connect the free ends of the hoses together.
SYSTEM SELECTION (OC/CC)
Saws configured with the system selector option require setup for the system,
1.Determine the system type.
2.For operation in a CC system, turn the selector screw fully clockwise. When the selector screw bot- toms, CC operation is selected.
3.For operation in an OC system, turn the selector screw
IMPORTANT
To prevent damage to the retaining ring, do not
attempt to force the selector screw
beyond the point of initial resistance.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
The following are general wood cutting procedures and techniques. Differences in the terrain, vegetation, and type of wood will make this information more or less val- id for particular areas. For advice on specific woodcut- ting problems or techniques for your area, consult your local Stanley representative or your county agent. They can often provide information that will make your work safer and more productive.
CUTTING TIPS
1.Check the lean of the tree. Tie a weight to a piece of string about 2 feet long. Hang the weight in your line of sight. The string is a good vertical line to help you judge the lean of the tree. The tree should fall the way it is leaning. Trees that are straight (leaning no more than 5 degrees) generally can be felled in any direction.
2.Avoid felling across another tree, log, rocks, gully or ridge. Do not fell straight uphill or downhill. Fell the tree diagonally to the hill. Consider the wind direc- tion and velocity. Do not attempt cutting in strong winds.
3.Check the weight distribution. A tree is heavier on the side with the most limbs. It will try to fall on its heavy side. Trim a few limbs to “balance” the tree.
4.Clear the work area. You need a clean area all around the tree for good footing. Get everything out of the area where the tree will fall. Do not cut trees near structures. Because of the danger of electro- cution, use extreme care when cutting trees near power lines.
5.Before starting the cut, prepare your escape path. Make sure the escape path is clear of brush and branches. The escape path should be at an angle away from the direction of fall.
