safety regulations. The chainsaw must only be used
for cutting wood. It is forbidden to cut other types
of material. Vibrations and kickback will vary with
materials other than wood, and the requirements of
the safety regulations will not be met. DO NOT use
the chainsaw as a lever for lifting, moving or splitting
objects.
DO NOT lock it over fixed stands. It is strictly
forbidden to attach any accessories to this product
other than those supplied by the manufacturer.
It is not necessary to force the saw into the cut.
Apply only light pressure while running the engine at
full throttle. If the chainsaw gets caught in the cut,
do not attempt to force it out, but use a wedge or a
lever to enlarge the cut, freeing the saw.
STEP 6 - FELLING A TREE
WARNING!
You should have received training from a suitable
person before attempting to fell a tree.
When you fell a tree, be sure to warn anyone in
close proximity of the danger.
1.When deciding the felling direction, consider the wind,
lean of the tree, location of heavy branches, ease of job after
felling, and other factors.
2. While cleaning the area around the tree, arrange a good
foothold and retreat path.
3. Make a notch cut one-third of the way into the tree on the
felling side.
4. Make a felling cut from the opposite side of the notch and
at a level slightly higher than the bottom of the notch.
5. Escape path: First, clear the tree base and work area of
interfering limbs and brush, and clean its lower portion with
an axe. Then, establish two paths of escape (B) and remove
all obstacles. These paths should be generally opposite to
the planned direction of the fall of the tree (A) and at about a
45° angle. Place all tools and equipment a safe distance away
from the tree, but not on the escape paths.
