WORKING WITH THE CHAIN SAW
CAUTION: The first time user should, as
a minimum practice, do cutting logs on a
saw-horse or cradle.
CAUTION: When sawing precut timber,
use a safe support (saw horse or cradle).
Do not steady the workpiece with your foot,
and do not allow anyone else to hold or
steady it.
CAUTION: Secure round pieces against
rotation.
CAUTION: Keep all parts of the body
away from the saw chain when the motor is
operating.
CAUTION: Hold the chain saw firmly with
both hands when the motor is running.
CAUTION: Do not overreach. Keep
proper footing and balance at all times.
NOTICE: Never toss or drop the tool.
NOTICE: Do not cover the vents of the tool.
Pruning trees
Bring the chain saw body into contact with the
branch to be cut before switching on. Otherwise
it may cause the guide bar to wobble, resulting
in injury to operator. Saw the wood to be cut by
just moving it down by using the weight of the
chain saw.
If you cannot cut the timber right through with a
single stroke:
Apply light pressure to the handle and continue
sawing and draw the chain saw back a little.
When cutting thick branches, first make a shal-
low undercut and then make the finish cut from
the top.
If you try to cut off thick branches from the
bottom, the branch may close in and pinch the
saw chain in the cut. If you try to cut off thick
branches from the top without a shallow under-
cut, the branch may splinter.
