IMPORTANT:
Never saw all the way through the trunk.
Sawing lying logs
Saw half way through the log, turn it over and
saw through from the other side.
NOTE:
Be careful not to let the bar and the chain
come into contact with the ground.
Sawing supported logs
• We recommend cutting up logs on a
sawbuck. If this is not possible the log
should be lifted up and blocked up.
• In area A, rst saw through about 1/3 of the
diameter of the log from above and then
saw through the rest from underneath. In
area B, rst saw through about 1/3 of the
diameter of the log from underneath and
then saw through the rest from above.

WARNING!
Do not saw wood under tension. If the wood
splits or if the bar is twisted there is risk of
fatal and/or serious personal injury.
Limbing
• Always stand on the opposite side of the
trunk from the branch to be cut.
• Start from the root end, and work up.
• Always saw from underneath and up.
• When limbing lying logs, cut the branches
sticking up rst. Branches bearing the
weight of the trunk are cut after sawing up
the log into pieces.
WARNING!
High branches or branches under tension can
cause the chain to pinch.
MAINTENANCE
• Switch o the chain saw, pull out the plug
and wait until all moving parts have
completely stopped and the saw has cooled
before cleaning and/or maintenance.
• Do not carry out any other maintenance or
adjustments than those described in these
instructions.
• Maintenance and repairs not described in
these instructions should be carried out by
an authorised service centre or other
qualied personnel. Incorrect maintenance
can result in the risk of personal injury and/
or material damage.
CLEANING THE CHAIN SAW
• Remove any debris.
• Wipe the chain saw with a damp cloth.
CLEANING BAR LUBRICATION SLOT
1. Remove the bar.
2. Clear the lubrication slot in the bar with a
suitable tool.
3. Fit the bar.
IMPORTANT:
Clean the bar with plastic tools.
Never use metal tools.
CHECKING THE CHAIN TENSION
1. A new chain must be tensioned after no
more than 5 cuts. Once the chain has been
run in it does not need to be tensioned as
often.
2. The chain is correctly tensioned when it
rests against the underside of the bar, but
can still be easily pulled along by hand.
3. Adjust the tension of the chain when
necessary.
