Saw Chain Sharpening (Fig. S, T, U)

CAUTION: Sharp chain. Always wear protective
gloves when handling the chain. The chain is sharp
and can cut you when it is notrunning.

WARNING: Sharp moving chain. To prevent
accidental operation, ensure the tool is unplugged
before performing the following operations. Failure to
do this could result in serious personalinjury.
NOTE: The cutters will dull immediately if they touch the
ground or a nail whilecutting.
MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
power source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can causeinjury.
1. Always start a cut with the saw chain running at
fullspeed.
2. Place the bottom spike
22
of the chain saw behind the
area of the initial cut as shown in Fig.O.

3. Turn the chain saw on then rotate the saw chain and bar
down into the tree, using the spike as ahinge.
4. Once the chain saw gets to a 45° angle, level the chain
saw again and repeat steps until you cut fullythrough.
5. When the tree is supported along its entire length, make
a cut from the top (overbuck), but avoid cutting the
earth as this will dull your sawquickly.

First, cut 1/3 the diameter from the underside
(underbuck). Then make the finishing cut by
overbucking to meet the firstcut.

• Fig.R- When on a slope always stand on the uphill
side of the log. When “cutting through”, to maintain
complete control reduce the cutting pressure near the
end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the chain
saw handles. Don’t let the chain contact the ground.
After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop
before you move the chain saw. Always stop the motor
before moving from cut tocut.
