SAWING
WARNING! Before proceeding to your job, read the ‘General
Safety Warnings’ section. It is recommended to first practice
sawing easy logs. This also helps you get accustomed to
your unit. Always follow the safety regulations. The chainsaw
must only be used for cutting wood. It is forbidden to cut
other types of material. Vibrations and kickback will vary with
materials other than wood and the requirements of the safety
regulations will not be met. Do not use the chainsaw as a lever
for lifting, moving or splitting objects. Do not lock it over fixed
stands. It is strictly forbidden to attach any accessories to this
product other than those supplied by the manufacturer.
It is not necessary to force the saw into the cut. Apply only light
pressure while running the engine at full throttle.
If the chainsaw gets caught in the cut, do not attempt to force
it out, but use a wedge or a lever to enlarge the cut, freeing the
chainsaw.
FELLING A TREE
WARNING! You should have received training from a suitable
person before attempting to fell a tree.
When you fell a tree, be sure to warn anyone in close
proximity of the danger.
1. Decide the felling direction considering the wind, lean of the
tree, location of heavy branches, ease of job after felling and
any other factors.
2. While cleaning the area around the tree, arrange a good
foothold and clear retreat
3. Make a notch cut one-third of the way into the tree on the
felling side.
4. Make a felling cut from the opposite side of the notch and at a
level slightly higher than the bottom of the notch.
