Warning:
An escape path (A) should be planned and cleared as necessary. The path
should extend back and diagonally to the rear of the expected line of fall ,as illustrated
in fig.3.
Caution:
If felling a tree on a sloping ground, the chainsaw operator should keep on the
uphill side of the terrain, as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after it's felled.
Warning:
Do not cut down a tree during high winds or if there is a danger to property.
Consult a tree professional. Do not cut a tree if there is a danger of striking power or
telephone cable.
Normally felling consists of 2 main cutting operations, notching (C) and making the felling
cut (D).
Start making the upper notch cut (C) on the tree facing the felling direction (E). Be sure you
don't make the lower cut too deep into the trunk.
The notch (C) should be deep enough to create a hinge (F) of sufficient width and strength.
The notch should be wide enough to direct the fall of the tree for as long as possible.
Note:
Direct of fall (B) is controlled by the notching cut. Before any cuts are made, consider
the location of larger branches and natural lean of the tree to determine direction of the tree
that will fall.
GENERAL CUTTING SUGGESTION
● FELLING
Felling is a term for cutting down a tree.
Small trees up to 6-7inches in diameter are usually cut in a single cut. Large trees require
notch cuts. Notch cutes determine the direction the tree will fall.

● Wearing thick protective gloves, drape the chain (6) over the guide bar (5) ensuring the
direction of travel is as marked on the chain cover and it is fully engaged in the guide bar
sprocket.
● Offer the bar/chain assembly up to the locking pin and tensioning screw ensuring it is fully
engaged on the drive sprocket (13)
● Refit the cover and nut, but do not fully tighten the nut.
● Using the hex wrench, tighten the tensioning screw until the chain has approximately
2mm of slack.
● Fully tighten clamp nut.
SWITCH ON AND OFF
● Connect the tool to a mains power supply.
● Depress the safety lock off button (2) whist squeezing the main switch (8).
● Release the main switch to stop the tool.
Warning: Never walk in front of a tree that has been notched.
