iN THE

chain saw user, you should take several steps
to keep your cutting jobs free from accident
or injury.

ladder, rooftop or scaffold; this is extremely
dangerous.

[] The following
precautions
should

kickback:
.

be fol-

Hold the saw firmly with both hands when
the motor is running. Place your right hand
on the rear handle and your left hand on the
front handle with your thumbs
and fingers
encircling the chain saw handles. A firm grip
together
with a stiff left arm will help you
maintain
control of the saw if kickback
occurs.

o Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions.
Do not let the
nose of the guide bar contact

parts such as low kickback

risks associated
with rotational
kickback.

CUTTING/WORK

AREA

[] Keep ALL children, bystanders, visitors, and
animals out of the work area while starting or
cutting with the chain saw.
NOTE; The size of the work area depends on
the job being performed as well as the size
tree or work piece involved. For example,
felling a tree requires a larger work area than
making bucking cuts.
[] Never start cutting until you have a clear work
area, secure footing, and a planned retreat
path from the falling tree. Cluttered area invite
injuries°
[] Do not expose the chain saw to rain..
[] Do not use the chain saw in damp or wet
locations.
[] Do not use the chain saw near flammable liquids, gases, or in any type of explosive atmosphere.
[] Use extreme caution when cutting small size
brush and saplings, because slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped
toward you or pull you off balance.

building materials°
[] Never allow children to operate the saw.
Allow no person to use this chain saw who
has not read this Operator's
Manual or
received adequate instructions
for the safe
and proper use of this chain saw.
[] When felling a tree, keep everyone - helpers,
bystanders,
children,
and animals - a safe
distance from the cutting area. During felling
operations,
the safe distance should be a
least twice the height of the largest trees in
the felling area. During bucking operations,
keep a minimum
distance of 15 feet between
workers.Trees
should not be felled in a
manner that would endanger
any person,
strike any utility line or cause any property
damage.
If the tree does make contact with
any utility line, the utility company
should be
notified immediately.
[] Always cut with both feet on solid

[] Do not cut above shoulder height, as a saw

[] Before felling is started, consider the force
and direction of the wind, the lean and
balance of the tree, and the location of large
limbs° These things influence the direction
in
which the tree will fall. Do not try to fell a tree
along a line different from its natural line of
fall.
[] The chain saw operator should keep on the
uphill side of the terrain as the tree is likely to
roll or slide downhill after it is felled°
[] Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails,
staples, and wire from the tree where felling

wrong direction,
or if the saw gets caught or
hung up during the fall, leave the saw and save
yourself!
[] Felling a tree - When bucking and felling
operations are being performed
by two or more
persons, at the same time, the felling operation
should be separated from the bucking
operation by a distance of at least twice the
height of the tree being felled. Trees should
not be felled in a manner that would endanger
any person, strike any utility line or cause any
property damage. If the tree does make contact
with any utility line, the utility company should
be notified immediately_

Undercut.

Cut a notch

about

1/3

the diameter of the tree, perpendicular
to the
direction
of fall. Make the cuts of the notch so
they intersect at a right angle to the line of fall.
This notch should be cleaned out to leave a
straight line. To keep the weight of the wood
off the saw, always make the lower cut of the
notch before the upper cut,, See Figure 14..
[] Felling Backcut. The backcut
is always made
level and horizontal,
and at a minimum
of 2
ino above the horizontal
cut of the notch° See
Figures 14- 15.
[] Never
leave

cut through
to
a band of wood

the notch.
Always
between
the notch

and backcut
(approximately
2 ino or 1/t0 the
diameter
of the tree)° This is called "hinge" or
"hingewoodo"
It controls
the fall of the tree
and prevents slipping or twisting or shoot-back
of the tree off the stump.
See Figures I4 - t_.
[] On large diameter trees, stop the back cut
before it is deep enough for the tree to either
fall or settle back on the stump° Then insert
soft wooden or plastic wedges into the cut so
they do not touch the chain,, The wedges can
be driven in, little by little, to help jack the tree
over.

13 - English

See Figure

16.

[] As tree starts to fall, stop the chain saw
and put it down immediately.
Retreat along
the cleared path, but watch the action in
case something falls your way.. Be alert for
overhead limbs or branches that may fall and
watch your footing.

BUCKING

Bucking is the term used for cutting
to the desired log length.

tree

[] Always make sure your footing is secure and
your weight is distributed
evenly on both feet°
[] Cut only one log at a time.
[] Support small logs on a saw horse
log while bucking.

or another

[] Keep a clear cutting area. Make sure that no
objects can contact the guide bar nose and
chain during cutting, this can cause kickback.
Refer to Precautions
Against
Kickback
earlier in this manual.
[] When bucking on a slope, always stand
on the uphill side of the log. To maintain
complete
control of the chain saw when
cutting through the log, release 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.
[] Sometimes
it is impossible
to avoid pinching
(with just standard
cutting techniques)
or
difficult to predict which way a log will settle
when cut. To avoid pinching while cutting,
rotate or move the log so that the pinch is
eliminated.

BUCKING

LOGS UNDER

When the log is supported
on one end, cut 1/3
the diameter from the underside or underbucking.
Then make the finishing
cut by overbucking
to
meet the first cut°
As the log is being cut, it will tend to bend° The
saw can become pinched or hung in the log if you
makethe
first cut deeper than 1/3 of the diameter
of the log.
Give special
attention
to logs under stress
prevent the bar and chain from pinching.

When bucking
on a slope, always stand on the
uphill side of the log as shown in figure 1 & When
"cutting
through,"
to maintain
complete
control
of the chain saw, release 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 r 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.

TYPES

OF CUTTING

USED

See Figure 20
OVERBUCKING
Begin on the top side of the log with the bottom
of the saw against the log; exert light pressure
downward.
Note that the saw wilt tend to pull
away from you.
UNDERBUCKING
Begin on the under side of the log with the top
of the saw against the log; exert light pressure
upward.
During underbucking,
the saw will tend
to push back at you. Be prepared for this reaction
and hold the saw firmly to maintain control°
_1_ WARNING:

Never climb

into a tree to limb

or prune. Do not stand on ladders, platforms,
a
log, or in any position which can cause you to
lose your balance or control of the saw°

LIMBING

Limbing

STRESS

See Figures 19 - 20°

along its entire length,
it should be cut from the top or overbucking.
