Felling cut
1.
Use wooden or plastic wedges (G) to prevent binding the bar or chain (H) in the cut.
Wedges also control felling (Fig. 10C).
2.
When diameter of wood being cut is greater than the bar length, make 2 cuts as shown
(Fig. 10D).
Warning! As the felling cut gets close to the hinge, the tree should begin to fall.
When tree begins to fall, remove saw from cut, unplug, put chain saw down, and
leave area along retreat path (Fig. 10A).
Limbing
Limbing a tree is the process of removing the branches from a fallen tree. Do not remove
supporting limbs (A) until after the log is bucked (cut) into lengths (Fig. 11). Branches under
tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the chain saw.

Caution! If the chain is
too loose, more than
3mm after applying
down force with finger,
as shown in Fig. 4. It
needs to be adjusted,
otherwise the stopping
time might result in
safety hazard.
To adjust saw chain tension:
1.
To adjust the chain is simple, turn the knob (B) clock wise. To loosen the chain just turn
anticlockwise. (Fig. 5)
2.
After adjustment and while wearing heavy duty work gloves, move the saw chain back
and forth on the guide bar to be sure the chain moves freely and is properly engaged with
socket.
Note:
If the chain is difficult to rotate or if it binds on the guide bar, too much tension has been
applied and must be adjusted. To decrease tension, turn the tension ring anticlockwise slowly.
Move the chain back and forth until it moves freely.
Filling oil tank
Using a funnel, fill oil tank with special chainsaw oil. Wipe up any spills. Make sure no dirt gets
into the oil tank. The saw chain requires lubrication while in use to minimize friction with the
guide bar. The oil tank holds 110ml of oil, enough to lubricate the chain for 15-20 minutes of
sawing. We recommend using special (supplied) chainsaw oil, which contains additives to
reduce friction wear, reduce resin residue formations and is biodegradable. The replacement
oil should be available at a reliable hardware supplier.
