Saw Chain and Guide Bar
After every few hours of use, remove the sprocket cover,
guide bar and chain and clean thoroughly using a soft bristle
brush. Ensure oiling hole on bar is clear of debris. When
replacing dull chains with sharp chains it is good practice to
flip the chain bar from bottom to top.

2nd CUT UNDERBUCK
(2/3 DIAMETER)
TO MEET 1st CUT
(TO AVOID PINCHING)
1st CUT OVERBUCK
(1/3 DIAMETER)
TO AVOID SPLINTERING
• When on a slope always stand on the uphill side of
the log. When “cutting through”, to maintain complete
control reduce the cutting pressure near the end of the
cut without relaxing your grip on the chain saw handles.
Don’t 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 cut to cut.
1. Always start a cut with the saw chain running at
full speed.
2. Place the bottom spike
21
of the chainsaw behind the
area of the initial cut as shown below.
3. Turn the chainsaw on then rotate the saw chain and bar
down into the tree, using the spike as a hinge.
4. Once the chainsaw gets to a 45° angle, level the
chainsaw again and repeat steps until you cut
fully through.
5. When the tree is supported along its entire length, make
a cut from the top (overbuck), but avoid cutting the earth
as this will dull your saw quickly.

• When supported at one end first, cut 1/3 the diameter
from the underside (underbuck). Then make the finishing
cut by overbucking to meet the first cut as shown below.
