iv) It is easier to saw a log using the spiked bumper
(Fig. 19D).
– Dig the spiked bumper into the log and use it as a
pivot. Cut with an arched motion to make the bar
penetrate the wood.
– Repeat several times if necessary, changing the point
where you plant the spiked bumper.
– When bucking on a slope, always stand on the uphill
side of the log (Fig. 20). When “cutting through” the
log, maintain control by releasing the cutting pressure
near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on
the chain saw handles. Do not 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 tree to tree.
End of Operations
When you have finished your work:
• Switch off the motor and remove the battery from its
housing.
• Wait for the chain to stop and allow the machine to cool.
• Remove any traces of sawdust or oil deposits from the
chain.
• If there is excessive dirt or resin build-up, disassemble the
chain and place it in a container with a suitable cleanser.
Then rinse it with clean water and treat it with a suitable
anticorrosive spray before reassembling it on the machine.
• Fit the cutting bar sheath onto the bar before storing.

WARNING!
Let the motor cool completely before
storing the chain saw in any enclosure.
To reduce fire hazards, clean the machine thoroughly to
remove sawdust, branches, leaves or excess grease. Never
leave containers with cut debris inside the storage area.

WARNING!
Always remove the battery before
performing any adjustments, maintenance, or repairs to your
cordless chain saw.
• Use protective gloves when handling the bar and chain.
• Keep the bar protection device on, except when
intervening directly on the bar or the chain.
• Never dispose of oils or other polluting materials in
unauthorized places.
Motor Cooling
To avoid overheating and damage to the motor, always keep
the cooling air vents clean and free of sawdust and debris.
Chain Tension
Check the chain tension before using the saw when the chain
is cold. The correct tension of a cold chain is when there is no
slack on the underside of the guide bar; the chain is snug, but
you can rotate it by hand without binding.
During normal saw operation, the temperature of the chain
