WARNINGS. Always keep a balanced stance. Do not stand
on the log. Be alert to the fact that the log may roll over.
When working on a slope, always stand on the uphill side
of the log.
Bucking
Bucking is cutting a log into
lengths for easier handling.
To saw a log lying on the ground,
first saw halfway, then roll the log
over and cut from the opposite
side. To saw the end of a log
supported off the ground, first
saw up from the bottom one-third through the log then finish
by sawing down from the top. To saw a log in the middle of
two supports holding it off the ground, first saw down from
the top one-third through the log then finish by sawing up
from the bottom.
CAUTION. Avoid cutting into the ground as this will very
quickly dull the saw chain.
Pruning
Pruning is the removal of a limb
or branch from a standing tree.
WARNINGS. Do not use an
unstable foothold or ladder. Do
not overreach. Do not saw above
shoulder height. Always use both
hands to hold the saw.
First cut up from the bottom and finish down from the top.
Maintenance
NOTE. Before cleaning your chain saw or carrying out any
maintenance procedure, make sure that the engine is off
and is cool. Disconnect the spark plug to prevent
accidental starting.
Maintenance to be preformed after each use
1. Loosen the top cover knob (12) and remove the top
cover (11).
2. Remove the air filter (8).
3. Split the air filter into its two
halves and clean the mesh.
Dry particles can be removed
by tapping on a hard surface.
More stubborn dirt may
require washing out the filter
with petrol or using an air
compressor.
4. Re-assemble the two halves
and replace the airfilter, top
cover (11) and knob (12).
5. Take off the guide bar (1)
and maintain it as follows,
remove any sawdust from the
groove in the guide bar.
6. Make sure that the oil port is
not clogged. Grease the nose
sprocket at the tip of the
guide bar.
7. Check for fuel and oil leakage
and loose fastenings,
especially those securing the
handles and the guide bar. If
any defects are found, take
the tool to an authorised
repair centre.
8. Clean any dust away from the cooling vents as clogged
vents can cause overheating.
