6.Sawing
●
Before
proceeding
to
your
job,read the section “For Safe
Operation “.It is recommended
to first practice sawing easy
logs.This also helps you get
accustomed to your unit.
●
Always
follow
the
safety
regulations.The
chain
saw
must only be used for cutting
wood .It is forbidden to cut
other
types
of
material.
Vibrations and kickback vary
with different materials and
the requirements of the safety
regulations would not be
respected.Do not use the chain
saw
as
a
lever
for
lifting ,moving or splitting
objects.It is forbidden to hitch
tools or applications to the
PIO other than those specified
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.
●
When the saw chain is caught in the cut ,do not
attempt to pull it out by force ,but use a wedge or a
lever to open the way.
▇
GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK
●
This saw is equipped with a chain
brake that will stop the chain in the
event of kickback if operating
properly..You must check the chain
brake operation before each usage
by running the saw at full the
throttle for 1-2 seconds and
pushing
the
fronthand
guard
forward.The chain should stop
immediately with the engine
at full speed.If the chain is slow to stop
or does not stop ,replace the brake band
and clutch drum before use.
●
It is extremely omportant that the chain
brake be checked for proper operation
before each use and that the chain be
sharp in order to maintain the kickback
safety level of this saw .Removal of
the
safety
devices
,inadequate
maintenance ,or incorrect replacement
of the bar or chain may increase the
risk of serious personal injury due to
kickback.

FELLING A TREE
1. Decide the felling direction considering the wind ,lean of
the tree ,location of heavy branches ,ease of completing the
task after felling and other factors .
2. While clearing 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 .
When you fell a tree ,be sure to warn neighborning
workers of the danger .
Bucking and Limbing
●
Always ensure your foothold .Do not stand on
the log .
●
Be alert to the rolling over of a cut
log .Especially when working on a slope ,stand
on the uphill side of the log .
●
Follow the instructions in “For Safe Operation
“ to avoid kickback of the saw.
Before starting work ,check the direction of bending force inside
inside the log to be cut.Always finish cutting from the opposite
side of the bending direction to prevent the guide bar from being
caught in the cut.
