Cordless Chain Saw WG368E WG368E.9
How to use saw safely
1. Use the chain saw only with secure footing.
2. Hold the chain saw at the right-hand side of your
body (See Fig. L).
3. The Chain (8) must be running at full speed before it
makes contact with the wood.
4. Use the metal Gripping Teeth (9) to secure the saw onto
the wood before starting to cut.
5. Use the Gripping Teeth as a leverage point (a) while
cutting. (See Fig. M)
6. Do not operate the chain saw with arms fully
extended, attempt to saw areas which are difficult to
reach, or stand on a ladder while sawing (See Fig. N).
cUttING WooD UNDeR teNSIoN (See fig. o)
WARNING: When cutting a limb that is
under tension, use extreme caution. Be alert
for wood springing back. When wood tension
is released, limb could spring back and strike
operator causing severe injury or death.
When sawing logs supported on both ends, start the
cut from above(Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into the
log and then finish the cut (Z) from below, in order to
avoid contact of the chain saw with the ground. When
sawing logs supported on only one end, start the cut
from below (Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into the log
and finish the cut from above (Z) in order to avoid log
splitting or jamming of the chain saw.
fellING tReeS (See fig. P)
Always wear hard hat to protect head against
falling branches.
the chain saw can only be used to fell trees
smaller in diameter than the length of the guide
bar.
Secure work area. ensure no persons or
animals are in the vicinity of the falling tree.
Never attempt to free a jammed saw with the
motor running. Use wooden wedges to free chain
and guide bar.
When cutting and felling operations are being
performed by two or more persons, at the same time,
the felling operations should be separated from the
cutting operation by a distance of at least twice the
height of the tree being felled. Trees should not be felled
in a manner that would endanger any person, strike
any utility line or cause any property damage. If the tree
does make contact with any utility line, the company
should be notified immediately.
The chain saw operator should keep on the uphill side
of the terrain as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill
