Chainsaw Applications
WARNING: Do not use the chainsaw if you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
If you are unfamiliar with the following cutting procedures, ensure you
fully read and understand the instructions before undertaking the task.
Bucking Spike (Fig AH)
This chainsaw is fitted with a spiked bumper (18). When downward cutting,
the bumper should be spiked into the surface of the timber being cut.
This point is then used as a pivot point ensuring the cutting action is in the 1st
quadrant of the bar length.
The cutting action is then performed by lifting the rear handle (1) of the
chainsaw while the bucking spike (18) is the pivot in the timber.
The cutting action at the bar is then downward and the cut is made.
The bucking spike (18) is reset to a new
pivot point by reducing the speed of the chainsaw to idle, withdrawing the
chainsaw slightly away from the timber being cut and lowering the rear
handle (1) so the bucking spike (18) is in a
lower position on the timber.
Apply the bucking spike (18) to the timber in
the new lower position and continue the cut
in the above action.
NOTE: A 4mm hex key (35) has been supplied
to remove the bucking spike if required.
Simply insert the end of the 4mm hex key into
the hex key screw head on the bucking spike
and rotate in an anticlockwise direction to
loosen and remove.
Felling a Tree (Fig AI)
WARNING. Felling a tree should only
be done by trained operators.
Decide the direction in which you wish
the tree to fall taking into
account the direction of the wind, the
position of branches, lean of the tree, ease
of subsequent limbing and bucking and
other factors prevalent at the time.
While cutting, always:
• Run the chainsaw motor at full revs. This makes the job safer, as there is
less chance of pull-in or kick-back.
• Position your body to the left of the chainsaw so if it kicks back
uncontrollably, it goes over your right shoulder. Never stand in the
cutting line of the chainsaw.
• Keep a firm grip with your left hand on the front handle, with your thumb
securely below the handle.
• The swivel of your wrist in a kick-back situation will activate the
chain brake.
• Make sure the chain is tensioned correctly.
Guard against Kickback
Check the operation of the front guard / chain brake (13) each time you
use the chainsaw. Run the chainsaw at full throttle for 1-2 seconds then
push the front guard / chain brake (13) forwards. The chain (20) should stop
immediately. If the chain (20) is slow to stop or only slows down you must
take the chainsaw to an authorised Service Agent. Disengage the front
guard / chain brake (13) by pulling the front guard backwards until you hear
a click (Fig A).
Do not use the chainsaw if the front guard / chain brake (13) is not operating
correctly.
• Be constantly aware of the position of the upper quadrant of the blade
tip. This is the part that triggers a kickback when it hits resistance.
• Never engage the upper quadrant of the guide bar (19) with whatever
you are cutting and avoid contact with any hidden branches or
obstructions. Ensure there is a clear work area.
• Always clear away brush, vegetation and any obstructing debris before
attempting a cut that might trigger a kickback.
• Avoid cuts that will cause the chainsaw to jam in a tree trunk or limb.
• Observe the size of wood shavings, if they become dusty your chain (20)
could need sharpening.
