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.
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; then apply the
spike a little lower and finish the cut by raising
the handle.
Adjusting saw chain tension
The saw chain may become loose after many hours of use. From time to time check the saw
chain tension before use. Grasp the saw chain in the middle of the guide bar and lift up. The
gap between the guide bar and the tie strap of the saw chain should be approx. 2 - 3 mm
(5/64in. - 7/64in.). If the gap is not approx. 2 - 3 mm (5/24in.-7/64in.), slightly loosen the hex
socket head bolt which secures the guide bar. The gap will be automatically adjusted to approx.
2-3 mm (5/64in.-7/64in.) by the saw chain tension adjusting spring. Then tighten the hex
socket head bolt securely after making sure that the gap is approx. 2 - 3 mm (5/64in.- 7/64in.).
