6. SAWING

Before proceeding to your job, read
the section "For Safe Operation". It is
recommeded to first practice sawing
easy logs. This also helps you get ac-
customed to your unit.
Always follow the safety regulations.
The chain saw must only be used for
cutting wood. It is forbidden to cut
other types of material. Vibrations and
kickback vary with different materials
and the requirements of the safety re-
gulations would not be respected. Do
not use the chain saw as a lever for
lifting, moving or splitting objects.
Do not lock it lever fixed stands. It is
forbidden to hitch tools or applications
to the PTO other than those specified
by the manufacturer.
It is not necessary to force the saw into the cut.Apply only light
pressure while running the engine at full throttle.
When the saw chain is caught in the cut, do not attempt to pull it
out by force, but use a wedge or a lever to open the way.
GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK
This saw is equipped with a chain brake that will stop the chain in
the event of kickback if operating properly.
You must check the chain brake ope-
ration before each usage by running
the saw at full the throttle for I-2
seconds and pushing the front hand-
guard forward. The chain should stop
immediately with the engine at full
speed. If the chain is slow to stop or
does not stop, replace the brake band
and clutch drum before use.
It is extremely important that the
chain brake be checked for proper
operation before each use and that
the chain be sharp in order to main-
tain the kickback safety level of this
saw. Removal of the safety devices,
inadequate maintenance, or incorrect
replacement of the bar or chain may
increase the risk ot serious personal
injury due to kickback
FELLING A TREE
1. Decide the felling direction considering the wind, lean of the
tree, location of heavy branches, ease of completing the task after
felling and other factors.
2. While clearing the area around the tree, arrange a good foothold
and retreat path.
3. Make a notch cut one-third of the way into the tree on the felling
side.
4. Make a felling cut from the opposite side of the notch and at a
level slightly higher than the bottom of the notch.
WHEN YOU FELL A TREE, BE
