LIMB SAW SET UP AND OPERATION (cont.)
WHEN CUTTING LARGE OR HEAVY LIMBS:

Make several cuts to remove weight from the limb before making the final cut at the base, beginning at the end of
the limb and working towards the trunk. This will minimize the chance of the bark from peeling and also decrease
the chance of the limb rolling and pinching the saw. As you gain experience with your saw, you will become more
perceptive at judging how many cuts it will take to remove the amount of weight needed for a clean, easy final cut.
When in doubt, make an extra cut.

Check chain tension at regular intervals during operation. If chain becomes loose while cutting, turn off power unit
before approaching and tightening chain.
LIMB SAW MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is the key to long equipment life and safe operation. It is very important that these maintenance functions be
performed as described below.
SAFETY FIRST!! READ AND UNDERSTAND THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(pages 3-5 of
this manual)
BEFORE BEGINNING ANY LIMB SAW MAINTENANCE OPERATION.
BEFORE FIRST USE

Inspect the attachment for shipping damage. If damage does exist, do not operate until the damaged parts have been
replaced or repaired.
BEFORE EACH USE

Make certain all nuts and bolts are in place and properly tightened.

Make certain chain tension is correct.

Make certain all other fasteners are in place and are performing their specified function.

Make certain all hydraulic fittings are tightened to specifications and that there are no leaks in any fittings or hoses.
SEE THE HYDRAULIC CONNECTION SECTION (pg. 7)

Replace any damaged parts, and excessively worn parts.

Keep the chain, bar and sprocket clean.
NOTICE
CONTINUALLY MONITOR TENSION OF THE CHAIN. NEVER TIGHTEN CHAIN OR MAKE ADJUSTMENTS WHILE
OPERATOR IS IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT.

Always operate with a sharp chain. When burn marks appear on the wood that you are cutting, or soft, easy to cut wood is
difficult to cut, it's time to replace or sharpen your chain.
Cutting with a dull chain will increase the time it takes to cut
and will
cause
vibration
of
your unit and excessive wear on your unit.
Loose hardware on your unit will also cause
vibration. Follow manufacturer's maintenance and sharpening instructions for the chain.
