Guide Bar Maintenance - Ego Power+ CS2000E Operator's Manual

cut. Make the felling back cut so enough wood is left
to act as a hinge. The hinge wood keeps the tree from
twisting and falling in the wrong direction. Do not cut
through the hinge.
◾
As the felling gets close to the hinge, the tree should
begin to fall. If there is any chance that the tree may
not fall in desired direction or it may rock back and
bind the saw chain, stop cutting before the felling back
cut is complete and use wedges of wood, plastic or
aluminium to open the cut and drop the tree along the
desired line of fall.
◾
When the tree begins to fall, remove the chainsaw
from the cut, stop the motor, put the chainsaw
down, then use the retreat path planned. Be alert for
overhead limbs falling and watch your footing.
Limbing a tree
Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen tree.
When limbing, larger lower limbs are left to support the
log off the ground. Remove the small limbs in one cut as
Fig. W3 shown. Branches under tension should be cut
from the bottom up to avoid binding the chainsaw.
Bucking a log
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to
make sure your footing is firm and your weight is evenly
distributed on both feet. When possible, the log should be
raised and supported by the use of limbs, logs or chocks.
Follow the simple directions for easy cutting.
◾
When the log is supported along its entire length as
Fig. X1 shown, it is cut from the top (overbuck).
◾
When the log is supported on one end, as Fig. X2
shown, cut 1/3 the diameter from the underside
(underbuck). Then make the finished cut by
overbucking to meet the first cut.
◾
When the log is supported on both ends, as Fig. X3
shown, cut 1/3 the diameter from the top (overbuck).
Then make the finished cut by underbucking the lower
2/3 to meet the first cut.
◾
When bucking on a slope, always stand on the uphill
side of the log, as Fig. Y shown.
◾
When "cutting through", to maintain complete control,
release the cutting pressure near the end of the cut
without relaxing your grip on the chainsaw handles.
Don't let the chain contact the ground. After completing
the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you move
the chainsaw. Always stop the motor before moving
from tree to tree.

GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE

When the guide bar shows signs of wear, disassemble
it from the chainsaw power head and reverse it for
reassembly (Fig. Z1). This way the wear will be distributed
to maximize the guide bar life.
The bar should be cleaned every day of use and checked
for wear and damage. Feathering or burring of the bar
rails is a normal process of bar wear. Such faults should
be smoothed with a file as soon as they occur. A bar with
any of the following faults should be replaced.
