SAFETY AND USE
Read this use manual before starting to
use the product.
Safe tree felling. Follow the latest advice on
safe tree felling, which among other things
includes personal protective equipment, felling
wedges and the correct sawing method. The
tree pusher/log lifter is just a complement that
facilitate when felling trees.
Use safety shoes with steel toecaps.
Use protective gloves.
Hold the crank handle rmly with your right
hand and the xed handle with your left hand
when using the tree pusher/log lifter.
Use
The tree pusher/log lifter has two functions:
1. Lifting a log end from the ground.
Remove the felling bar for this application. Drive the
spike into the log end by swinging the tree pusher/
log lifter against it.
Never lift higher than 1 m (3 ft.), and never lift
heavier than 500 kg (1102 lbs).
Stand behind the foot of the tree pusher/log
lifter while lifting logs, so the log cannot hit
your legs or feet if it should come loose from
the spike.
2. Planning the felling direction when felling trees.
Position the tree pusher/log lifter at a 45 degree
angle against the tree and use the winch to secure
it. Make sure that you have not reach the end
position of the felling bar. The bar should always
have a couple of extra decimetres left for you to
push with, if the tree should not fall.
Pressure: Max. 500 kg
IMPORTANT: The winch is disengaged automatically
and has no manual backstop. It requires the same
force to disengage the winch as to lift the log. If you
exceed the limit of 500 kg lifting or pushing force,
there is a risk that the winch cannot be disengaged,
and you run the risk of bending the square tubes of
the tree pusher/log lifter.
