• Bucking (Fig. 15)
WARNING!
branches are lying on the ground, the risk of
them being under tension, the direction the
branch may go during cutting and the risk of
the tree being unstable after the branch has
been cut..
1. Check the direction in which the branch is at-
tached to the tree
2. First cut on the side where the branch bends
and then finish cutting on the opposite side.
• Sawing logs (Fig. 16)
It is easier to saw a log using the spiked bumper.
1. 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.
2. Repeat several times if necessary, changing
the point where you plant the spiked bumper.

• Sawing a log on the ground (Fig. 17)
Cut up to half the diameter, roll the log over and fin-
ishing sawing on the other side.
• Sawing a raised log (Fig. 18)
1. If you are sawing the overhanging end of a sup-
ported log (A), first cut a third of the diameter
from the bottom upwards, then finish from the
top.
2. If you are sawing between two supports (B),
cut a third of the diameter from the top down-
wards, then finish from the bottom.
END OF OPERATIONS
When you have finished your work:
– Switch off the engine as indicated above (Chap.

– Wait for the chain to stop and then mount the bar
cover.
when intervening directly on the bar or the
chain.
– Never dispose of oils, fuel or other polluting

CYLINDER AND SILENCER (Fig. 19)
To reduce fire risks, periodically clean the cylinder

area to get rid of sawdust, branches, leaves or
other debris.
