Maintenance - Makita DUC256PG2 Instruction Manual

Pruning trees
Bring the chain saw body into contact with the branch to
be cut before switching on. Otherwise it may cause the
guide bar to wobble, resulting in injury to operator. Saw
the wood to be cut by just moving it down by using the
weight of the chain saw.
If you cannot cut the timber right through with a single
stroke:
Apply light pressure to the handle and continue sawing
and draw the chain saw back a little.
When cutting thick branches, first make a shallow
undercut and then make the finish cut from the top.

If you try to cut off thick branches from the bottom, the
branch may close in and pinch the saw chain in the cut.
If you try to cut off thick branches from the top without a
shallow undercut, the branch may splinter.
