prevent splitting. Then saw from above
(top cut) to meet the rst cut and avoid
the bar being clamped.
• If the trunk is supported in both ends, it
should be sawn in two steps. First cut one
third of the diameter of the trunk from
above (top cut) to prevent splitting. Now
saw from underneath (undercut) to meet
the rst cut and avoid the bar getting
stuck.
• Always stand uphill of the tree when
cutting on slopes.

• Reduce the feed pressure on the bar
somewhat towards the end of the cut, but
keep a rm grip on the handles. This will
give you better control over the sawing
when you break through. Do not allow the
chain to come into contact with the
ground. Wait until the chain has stopped
before moving to the next cut.
• Release the power switch and allow the
chain to stop before moving to the next
tree.
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.
FIG. 15
WARNING!
High branches or branches under tension can
cause the chain to pinch.
MAINTENANCE

completely stopped and the saw has
cooled before cleaning and/or
maintenance.
