    2 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MEASURES DE SECURITE PRECAUTIONES DE SEGURIDAD 2-1. KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. If the bar tip contacts, it may cause a lightning-fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator.

  • Page 25: Saw Chain / Bar Lubrication

    5-6. SAW CHAIN / BAR LUBRICATION Adequate lubrication of the saw chain is essential at all times to minimize friction with the guide bar. Never starve the bar and chain of oil. Running the saw with too little oil will decrease cutting efficiency, short- en saw chain life, cause rapid dulling of chain, and cause excessive wear of bar from overheating.

  • Page 26: General Cutting Instructions

    6 - GENERAL CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS - INSTRUCTIONS POUR LA COUPE - INSTRUCCIONES DE CORTADO GENERALES 6-1. FELLING Felling is the term for cutting down a tree. Small trees up to 6-7 inches (15-18cm) in diameter are usually cut in a single cut.
  • Page 27 WARNING Do not cut down a tree during high or changing winds or if there is a danger to property. Consult a tree professional. Do not cut down a tree if there is a danger of striking utility wires; notify the utility company before making any cuts. GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR FELLING TREES: Normally felling consists of 2 main cutting operations, notching (C) and making the felling cut (D).
  • Page 28 Never saw completely through the trunk. Always leave a hinge. The hinge guides the tree. If the trunk is completely cut through, control over the felling direction is lost. Insert a wedge or felling lever in the cut well before the tree becomes unstable and starts to move. This will prevent the guidebar from binding in the felling cut if you have misjudged the falling direction.

  • Page 29: Limbing

    6-2A 6-2. LIMBING Limbing a tree is the process of removing the branches from a fallen tree. Do not remove supporting limbs (A) until after the log is bucked (cut) into lengths (Figure 6-2A). Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the chain saw.

    TO LUBRICATE SPROCKET TIP: WARNING We ar heavy duty work gloves when handling the bar and chain. 1. Move the STOP switch down. NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the saw chain to lubricate the guide bar sprocket tip. Lubrication can be done on the job.

  • Page 39: Chain Tension

    To help minimize bar wear, the following guide bar maintenance procedures are recommended. BAR WEAR - Turn guide bar frequently at regular intervals (for example, after 5 hours of use), to ensure even wear on top and bottom of bar. BAR GROOVES - Bar grooves (or rails which support and carry the chain) should be cleaned if saw has been used heav- ily or if saw chain appears dirty.
