OPERATION
Keep in mind that the wood is heavy and that it will bend and pinch the saw
if improperly supported. The trunk will weaken at the point where you make
the cut unless the tree is lying on perfectly flat ground or supported as shown.
If you make the cut with the tree on the ground, don’t let the saw’s chain dig
into the earth; it is harmful for the saw, and you stand a good chance of being
struck by flying debris.
To cut the trunk, use the bucking and two-cut sequence shown. The first cut
should be no deeper than one-third the trunk diameter.
Your unit is designed to provide many hours of trouble free service. Regular
scheduled maintenance will help your unit achieve that goal. If you are unsure
or are not equipped with the necessary tools, we recommend that you take
your unit to a Servicing Dealer for maintenance. To help you decide whether
you want to DO-IT-YOURSELF or have the Dealer do it, each maintenance
task has been graded. If the task is not listed, see your Dealer for repairs.
MAINTENANCE
Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries.
Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away from all openings.
Always stop motor, and make sure all moving parts have come to
a complete stop before removing obstructions, clearing debris, or
servicing unit. Allow unit to cool before performing service. Wear
gloves to protect hands from sharp edges and hot surfaces.
Operating a poorly maintained unit can result in serious injuries
to operator or bystanders. Always follow all maintenance
instructions as written, otherwise serious personal injury can
result.
