8. Sawing
WARNING
Before proceeding to your job, read „For Safe Operation“
section 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. Do
not lock it over fixed stands. It is forbidden to hitch tools
or applications to the PTO that are not specified by the
manufacturer.
It is not necessary to force the saw into the cut. Ap-
ply only light pressure while running the engine at full
throttle.
Racing the engine with the chain seized in a cutaway
can damage the clutch system. 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 cut.
Guard against kickback
This saw is also 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 throttle for 1 or 2 seconds and
pushing the front hand guard forward.
The chain should stop immediately with the engine at
full speed. If the chain is slow to stop or does no stop
then replace the brake band and clutch drum before use.
It is extremely important
that the chain brake be
checked for proper opera-
tion 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,
Iean of the tree, location of heavy branches, ease of
job 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.
WARNING
When you fell a tree, be sure to warn your neighboring
workers of the danger.
1) Notch cut
2) Felling cut
3) Felling direction
Logging and limbing
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
avoid 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.
