Operation
FPCSP46-3
8. Apply the metal gripping teeth for leverage the work piece.
9. Ensure correct chain tension.
10. Do only cut with the engine at high speeds.
11. Do not let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, or any other
obstruction which could be hit while you are operating the product.
12. Follow manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw
chain.
13. Only use replacement guide bars and saw chains specified by the manufacturer
or equivalent replacements.
WARNING!
Most ‘kickback’ accidents happen during limbing! Pay
close attention to the position of the ‘kickback’ zone of the bar when
you are ‘limbing’ branches that are under tension.
Felling a tree
1. When bucking and felling operations are being performed by two or more
persons at the same time, the felling operations should be separated from
the bucking operation by a distance of at least twice the height of the tree
being felled. Trees should not be felled in a manner that would endanger any
person, strike any utility line or cause any property damage. If the tree does
make contact with any utility line, the company should be notified immediately.
2. The product operator should keep on the uphill
side of the terrain as the tree is likely to roll or slide
downhill after it is felled.
3. An escape path should be planned and cleared
as necessary before cuts are started. The escape
path should extend back and diagonally to the rear
of the expected line of fall (Fig. 35).
4. Before felling is started, consider the natural lean
of the tree, the location of larger branches and the
wind direction to judge which way the tree will fall.

5. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails,
staples and wire from the tree.
Notching undercut
Make the notch (Fig. 36, B) 1/3 the diameter
of the tree, perpendicular to the direction of
falls (Fig. 36). Make the lower horizontal
notching cut first. This will help to avoid
pinching either the saw chain or the guide
bar when the second notch is being made.
