Cutting instruction
Do not let the nose or tip of the guide bar touch anything while unit is running to avoid kickback.
DANGER
General
In all circumstances the operation of the chain saw is a one-
man job.
It is difficult at times to take care of your own safety, so don't
assume the responsibility for a helper as well.
After you have learned the basic techniques of using the saw,
your best aid will be your own good common sense.
The accepted way to hold the saw is to stand to the left of the
saw with your left hand on the front handle so you can operate
the trigger switch with your right index finger.
Before attempting to fell a tree, cut some small logs or limbs.
Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the responses of
the saw.
Start the unit, see that is running properly.
Squeeze the trigger switch to open the throttle wide open, then
start the cut.
It is not necessary to press down hard to make the saw cut.
If the chain is properly sharpened, the cutting should be rela-
tively effortless.
Some material may adversely affect the housing of your chain
saw.(Example: palm tree acid, fertilizer etc.)
To avoid housing deterioration carefully remove all packed
saw dust around sprocket and guide bar area and wash with
water.
Felling a tree
A falling tree can seriously damage anything it may hit - a car,
a house, a fence, a power-line or another tree.
There are ways to make a tree fall where you want it, so first
decide where that is!
Before cutting, clear the area around the tree.
You will need good footing while working and you should be
able to work the saw without hitting any obstacles.
Next select a path of retreat.
When the tree begins to fall you should retreat away from the
direction of fall at a 45-degree angle and at least 3 m from the
trunk to avoid the trunk kicking back over the stump.
