Important Notes
Work slowly, and hold the saw fi rmly with both hands. Ensure safe standing position and balance.
Watch out for spring backs. Use extreme caution when cutting small size limbs. Pliable material may catch
in the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
Watch out for spring backs. This is especially true for branches that are bent or under pressure. Avoid coming
in contact with the branch or the saw when there is tension in the wood.
Keep your work area clear. Keep the path clear of branches to avoid tripping over them.
Lopping (Fig. J)
Lopping means removing branches from the felled tree.
Leave the larger limbs that are underneath the felled tree, and use them as support while you continue to
work.
Start at the base of the felled tree and work your way up to the top. Remove smaller parts of the tree with
a cut in the direction of growth (arrows Fig. J).
Be sure to keep the tree between you and the saw.
Remove larger, supporting branches using the methods in the section „Bucking without restraints".
Always cut branches under tension from the underneath to the top, so the saw does not become trapped.
Always cut small and freely hanging limbs with one cut. By undercutting they could fall in and pinch the saw.
Trimming (Fig. I)
ATTENTION!
Leave stubs in branches or below cut them to shoulder level only. Never cut branches above shoulder
height. Leave such work to an expert.
Make the fi rst cut (Item 1) 1/3 in the bottom of the limb.
Then cut the second section (Item 2) all the way through the branch. The third section (item 3) is a general
section that allows you to separate the branch at 2.5 to 5 cm from the trunk.
Sawing on a slope (Fig. K)
When sawing on a slope, make sure you always stand higher than the tree trunk (Fig. K). In order to maintain
complete control at the moment of "sawing through", reduce pressure towards the end of the cut without releas-
ing your tight grip on the handles of the chainsaw.
WARNING!
The saw chain must not come in contact with the ground.
After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to come to a standstill before removing the chainsaw.
Always turn off the chainsaw's motor when going from one tree to the next.
