DO NOT operate the throttle trigger with your left

hand and hold the front handle with your right

hand. Never allow any part of your body to be in

the chain line while operating a saw.

See Figure 21.

■ Balance your weight with both feet on solid ground.

■ Keep left arm with elbow locked in a “straight arm”

position to withstand any kickback force.

■ Keep your body to the left of the chain line.

■ Keep your thumb on underside of handlebar.

■ Never allow children to operate the saw. Do not Allow

persons to use this chainsaw who have not read this

operator’s manual or received adequate instructions

for the safe and proper use of this chainsaw.

felling operations, the safe distance should be a least

twice the height of the largest trees in the felling area.

During bucking operations, keep a minimum distance

of 5 metres between workers.

■ Always cut with both feet on solid ground to prevent

being pulled off balance.

■ Do not cut above chest height as a saw held higher is

difficult to control against kickback forces.

■ Do not fell trees near electrical wires or buildings.

Leave this operation for professionals.

■ Cut only when visibility and light are adequate for you

to see clearly.

Practice cutting a few small logs using the following

technique to get the “feel” of using the saw before you

begin a major sawing operation.

■ Take the proper stance in front of the wood with the

saw idling.

■ Accelerate the engine to full throttle just before

entering the cut by squeezing the throttle trigger.

■ Begin cutting with the saw against the log.

■ Keep the engine at full throttle the entire time you are

cutting.

■ Allow the chain to cut for you; exert only light

downward pressure. Forcing the cut could result in

damage to the bar, chain, or engine.

■ Release the throttle trigger as soon as the cut is

completed allowing the engine to idle. Running the

saw at full throttle without a cutting load can result in

unnecessary wear to the chain, bar, and engine.

■ Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of the

cut as this may cause the saw to drop in an unsafe

manner.

Do not fell trees during periods of high wind or

heavy rain. Wait until the hazardous weather

has ended. When felling a tree, it is important

that you heed the following warnings to prevent

possible serious injury.

■ Do not cut down trees having extreme lean or large

trees with rotten limbs, loose bark, or hollow trunks.

Have these trees pushed or dragged down with

heavy equipment, then cut them up.

■ Do not cut trees near electrical wires or buildings.

■ Check the tree for damaged or dead branches that

could fall and hit you during felling.

■ Periodically glance at the top of the tree during the

back cut to assure the tree is going to fall in the

desired direction.

■ If the tree starts to fall in the wrong direction, or if the

saw gets caught or hung up during the fall, leave the

saw and save yourself!

FELLING

See Figures 23 - 26.

■ Pick your escape route (or routes in case the

intended route is blocked). Clear the immediate

area around the tree and make sure there are no

obstructions in your planned path of retreat. Clear

the path of safe retreat approximately 135° from the

planned line of fall.

■ Consider the force and direction of the wind, the lean

and balance of the tree, and the location of large

limbs. These things influence the direction in which

the tree will fall. Do not try to fell a tree along a line

different from its natural line of fall.

■ Cut a notch about 1/3 the diameter of the trunk in the

side of the tree. Make the notch cuts so they intersect

at a right angle to the line of fall. This notch should

be cleaned out to leave a straight line. To keep the

weight of the wood off the saw, always make the

lower cut of the notch before the upper cut.

■ Make the back cut level and horizontal, and at a

minimum of 2 in. above the horizontal cut of the

notch.

 Never cut through to the notch. Always leave

a band of wood between the notch and back cut

(approximately 2 in. or 1/10 the diameter of the tree).

This is called a “hinge” or “hinge wood.” It controls

the fall of the tree and prevents slipping or twisting or

shoot back of the tree off the stump.

■ On large diameter trees, stop the back cut before

it is deep enough for the tree to either fall or settle
