WARNING!
Read and understand the chain saw
manufacturer's manual and follow all safety
instructions.
Wear the appropriate PPE when using a chain
saw.
CAUTION!
Always apply the brake before you leave a chain
saw in idle.
Position a log in the machine with the end touching the
log-length guide. Use the chain saw to cut the log to the set
length.
1. Make sure that the log-length guide is set to the desired cut
length and the end of the log is touching it. For instructions,
see Set the Log-length Guide on page 39.
2. If required, start the chain saw. For instructions, see Start
the Chain Saw on page 33.
3. Operate the saw as you normally would to cut a log. You
can also use the holder pivot handle. The guard rests on
top of the log, while the chain saw cuts through it.
4. Decrease the cutting pressure as you finish the cut. The cut
log falls into the splitter.
5. Rotate the chain saw back to the idle position.
