3. Safety Rules
3.1 General
Should there be any information or instructions in
this manual that are not in compliance with local
laws and regulations in force in the country or
region where this equipment is operated, the local
laws and regulations must take precedence.
Inspect the felling head daily for signs of damage, unusual wear, fatigue cracks or faulty operation.
Make sure that other personnel remain at least 300 feet (100 metres) away from the felling head.
Observers should stand at least 300 feet (100 metres) on the opposite side of the machine from where chips
are being exhausted from the saw opening.
When moving the machine, watch that enough clearance is available on both sides and above the felling
head. Extra clearance may be required particularly where the ground is uneven.
Approach an area where overhanging electrical powerlines are present with extreme caution. Serious injury
or death by electrocution can result if the machine or any of its attachments are not kept a safe distance from
these lines.
Maintain a distance of 10 feet (3 metres) between the machine or boom and any power line carrying up to
50,000 volts.
Powerlines carrying more than 50,000 volts require a safety distance of 10 feet (3 metres) plus 1/2 inch
(13 mm) for each additional 1,000 volts above the 50,000 volt level. If state/province, local or job site
regulations require even greater safety distances than stated above, adhere strictly to these regulations for
your own protection.
Do not approach the felling head unless the disc saw blade has come to a complete stop and the engine has
been shut down.
Comply with instructions in this manual and also your company's regulations for the operation of this
felling head.
Maintain a safe operating distance 300 feet (100 metres) between the equipment and other personnel. Never
swing the boom, attachment, or load over the heads of bystanders.
Raise the felling head before moving the vehicle. When traveling, keep it high enough to clear stumps.
Stop the disc saw blade when traveling to or from the felling site.
Shut the saw OFF immediately and stop the disc saw blade if an imbalance occurs. Do not operate the disc
saw blade in an unbalanced condition.
Wait until the disc saw blade achieves full speed before cutting the tree.
Never operate the disc saw blade at a higher speed than the maximum upper limit.
Adhere strictly to all regulations at the work site pertaining to the operation of this equipment.
WARNING
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate
the skin and cause serious personal injury,
blindness, or death. If any fluid is injected
into the skin, it must be surgically removed
within a few hours by a doctor familiar with
treating this type of injury.

5. Operation
WARNING
Nothing can replace adequate training of
those in the logging woods who work on or
near feller bunchers. While feller bunchers
have been a tremendous addition to
mechanized logging and have made logging
a much safer occupation, it is imperative that
those working on or near feller bunchers
realize that a feller buncher is a dangerous
piece of equipment that MUST be respected.
Those on the ground working near feller
bunchers MUST maintain a safe working
distance (at least 300 feet (100 meters)) from
the feller buncher and must follow all other
instructions provided on and with the feller
buncher and felling head. The use and
operation of the saw head for any other
purpose than stated in the Operator’s Manual
is not recommended nor approved by
Timberjack Forestry Attachments.
Important!
Do not operate any other function while the disc
saw blade is cutting the tree. Tilting or moving the
felling head before the stem is cut through can
damage the disc saw blade.
