WARNING
1. Always ensure your foothold as well as stability of
the tree.
2. Be alert to the rolling over of a cut log.
3. Read the instructions in “For Safe Operation” to avo-
id kickback of the saw.
Before starting work, check the direction of bending force
inside the log to be cut.
Always finish cutting from the opposite side of bending
direction to prevent the guide bar from being caught in
the cutaway.
Cutting an unpillowed log
Saw down halfway, then roll the log over and cut from
the opposite side.
Cutting a pillowed log
In the area A in the picture right above, saw up from the
bottom one-third and finish by sawing down from the top.
In the area B, saw down from the top one-third and finish
by sawing up from the bottom.
Limbing a felled tree
First check which way the limb is bent. Then make a
shallow cut into the compressed side to prevent the limb
from being torn. Cut through from the tensed side.

thick branches can ensure your safety and decrease the
working strength and vibration level.
