not fall in the desired direction or it may rock back and 

bind the saw chain, stop cutting before the felling back 

cut is complete and use wedges of wood, plastic or 

aluminium to open the cut and drop the tree along 

the desired line off all. When the tree begins to fall 

remove the chain saw from the cut, stop the motor, 

put the chain saw down, and then use the retreat path 

planned. Be alert for overhead limbs falling and watch 

your footing.

 

■ Limbing a tree (Fig. 11)

Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen tree. 

When limbing, leave larger lower limbs to support the 

log off the ground. Remove the small limbs in one cut. 

Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom 

up, to avoid binging the chain saw.

 

■ Bucking a log (Fig.12 -15) Bucking is cutting a log into 

lengths. It is important to make sure your footing is 

firm and your weight is evenly distributed on both feet. 

When possible the log should be raised and supported 

by the use of limbs, logs or chocks. 

Follow the simple direction for easy cutting:
a.  When the log is supported along the entire length, it is 

cut from the top (overbuck). (Fig.12)

b.  When the log is supported on one end, cut 1/3 of the 

diameter from the underside (underbuck). Then make 

the finished cut by overbucking to meeting the first cut. 

(Fig. 13)

c.  When the log is supported on both ends, cut 1/3 of 

that diameter from the top(overbuck). Then make the 

finished cut by underbucking the lower 2/3 to meet the 

first cut. (Fig. 14)

d.  When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill 

side of the log. When cutting through, to maintain 

complete control, release the cutting pressure near the 

end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the chain 

saw handles. (Fig. 15).

Do not let the chain contact the ground. After completing 

the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you move 

the chain saw. Always stop the motor before moving from 

tree to tree.

MAINTENANCE  

(Fig. 16-21) 

CHAIN SHARPENING

When  the  chain  penetrates  into  wood  with  difficultly,  it 

needs sharpening as follows:

 

■ Put the chain under tension.

 

■ Fasten the bar in a vice so that the chain can slide.

 

■ Fasten the file to the file holder and place it on cutter 

at a 35° angle.

 

■ File with forward strokes only until all the worn out part 

of the cutting edge is taken away.

 

■ Count the number of strokes given to the cutter taken 

as a reference basis and file away for the same 

number of strokes on all other cutters.

 

■ If after sharpening a few times, the depth gauge 

protrudes from the template, you must reset its level 

use a flat file.

 

■ Finally, round off the depth gauge.
NOTE: We advise you to have the deep or important 

sharpening carried out by a service agent who is equipped 

with electric sharpener.

GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE

 

■ When you have finished working, clean out the groove 

and the oil passages, with a scraping hook.

 

■ Periodically trim the sides of rails using a flat file.

 

■ If not done in the long run, the featheredges might 

break away and damage the bar.

 

■ If one rail is higher than the other one, it is necessary 

to make it even with a flat file and then smooth them 

with a file or fine grain abrasive paper.
