Cutting
Cutting logs
ATTENTION!
Always maintain a stable stance. Do not step on logs.
ATTENTION!
Before starting work, check that all components are in their place and that all nuts and bolts are tightened.
The log being cut may roll away. Especially when cutting on a slope, always stand above the log being cut.
Prevent kickback of the saw by following the instructions in chapter "Safety instructions".
Before starting work, assess the direction of the force causing the cut trunk to bend. The fi nal cut needs to
always be done from the opposite side of where the bending force is acting to prevent the guide bar from
being clamped inside the cut.
Only carry the chain saw with the motor turned off and the guide bar protected by the protective cover.
Log lying on the ground
Cut it halfway through, then roll it over and complete
the cut from the other side.
Log above the ground
In part "A" make a cut from below to a third of the log
and then complete the cut from above. In part "B"
make a cut from above to a third of the log and then
complete the cut from below.
Removing a fallen tree
First fi nd out to which side the branch is bent. Then
make the initial cut from the side of the bend and then
complete the cut from the opposite side.
ATTENTION!
A bent branch may spring up.
