• Pull the Saw Control lever back towards you to lower the
saw and cut the log. The saw chain starts as the saw
begins to move. The top roller holds the log in place. When
the log is cut through, the block falls into the splitting
cradle.
• Push the lever forward to raise the saw out of the way,
ready for the next cut. The saw chain stops as the
saw is raised. The top roller keeps a slight amount of
down pressure on the log at all times unless the arm is
unclamped when the saw is raised.

IMPORTANT! When cutting, make sure bar oil is visible
coming off the tip of the saw. If not, adjust the bar oil flow
rate. See page 34.
Always make sure the saw chain is sharp and in good
working order.
IMPORTANT! At shut down or breaks, relieve saw chain
tension to prevent damage to the cutting system (saw motor,
bar tip, saw chain chassis) as the saw chain cools and
contracts.
IMPORTANT! Check saw chain tension regularly. Only
tension saw chain when it is cool. Steel expands when hot
and contracts as it cools. As a result, it could cause damage
to your guide bar or saw motor if tensioned when hot.
IMPORTANT! To check saw chain tension, grasp the chain
at the mid point of the guide bar and pull the saw chain
away from the bar rails. The drive link tangs should nearly
come out of the bar groove.
