PK1500 STACK CUTTER
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
During operation:
Do not start cutting until the steps in the section
”Preparations” on page 26 have been carried out.
Never start the stack cutter if the guide bar is not in
its top position and covered by the xed bar guard.
Never stick hands or tools under any guards or in the
cutting path of the guide bar.
Always stand with your face shielded by the
protective screen. When end trimming, the chain
can throw blocks of wood in the operator’s
direction.
On the same axis as the guide bar, with a 20
degree deviation to either side, the safe distance
“in front of” and “behind” the machine is 8
m (see the illustration). This also applies to the
operator. Besides the operator (shown as “Op” in
the illustration), no one may stand within 4 metres
of the machine’s sides while it is operating. The
illustration below shows a bird’s-eye view of the
machine. During operation, the operator must stay
within the indicated area behind the control panel.
The operator must not stretch his/her arms or legs
outside this area.
Risk of chain throw-off if the chain breaks.
Respect the safe distance!
Before releasing the winch safety catch, take a
rm grip of the winding crank. Except when the saw
unit is to be lowered, the safety catch should always
be on.
Risk of burns when changing the chain.
Cutting equipment can be hot after use.
A chip extractor (min. 700 m3/h) must be
connected during operation. Be aware of the risk
of breathing in dust. Saw outdoors or ensure good
ventilation.
Even people outside the safe distance may still
require ear protectors. Outdoors, the safe distance
for harmful noise is around 15 m. Ensure that no
one without ear protectors is exposed to sounds
above 70 dB(A).
Use non-toxic, vegetable, saw chain oil to
lubricate the chain.
Risk of unintentional start-up and electric
shock.
In this manual, the instruction ”cut the power”
always means unplug the power cable at the
control panel, hang it up so that neither the plug
nor the cable can be damaged, and ensure that
the chain has stopped.
Cut the power
- Before touching the chain in any way.
- Before attempting to free a jammed chain.
- Before servicing or other intervention involving the
guide bar, belt guard or electrical system.
- Before moving the machine.
- If the machine is to be left unattended. Also ensure
that no unauthorised person can start the machine.
- After tting a chain, ensure that it runs freely
before plugging the cable into the control panel.
Other safety instructions:
The machine must not be modied or added to. Use
only parts supplied by LOGOSOL. After servicing, the
machine must be restored to its original condition.
Risk of being hit by the winding crank.
Risk of the saw unit being lowered
unintentionally.
