OPERATION
Do not run a chainsaw not under cutting load at wide open
◆
throttle longer than five seconds or engine damage can
occur.
Keep chain properly tensioned during operation to prevent
◆
the chain from jumping out of the guide bar rail slot and
damaging metal engine parts.
Felling the 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
(10 feet) from the trunk to avoid the
trunk kicking back over the stump.
