CUTTING WITH THE CHAIN SAW

1.Connect saw to extension cord. Connect exten- sion cord to power supply.

2.Make sure section of log to be cut is not laying on ground. This will keep chain from touching ground as it cuts through log. Touching ground with moving chain will dull chain.

3.Use both hands to grip saw. Always use left hand to grip front handle and right hand to grip rear handle. Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around saw handles (see Figure 12).

4.Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet.

5.When ready to make a cut, push the lockout button completely forward with the right thumb and squeeze the trigger (see Figure 12). This will turn saw on. Releasing trigger will turn saw off. Make sure saw is running at full speed before starting a cut.

6.When starting a cut, place moving chain against wood. Hold saw firmly in place to avoid possible bouncing or skating (sideways movement) of saw.

7.Guide saw using light pressure. Do not force saw. The motor will overload and can burn out. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.

8.Remove saw from a cut with saw running at full speed. Stop saw by releasing trigger. Make sure chain has stopped before setting saw down.

9.Practice until you can maintain a steady, even cutting rate.

Felling is the process of cutting down a tree. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet. Follow directions below to fell a tree.

Before Felling a Tree

1.Before felling, inspect tree. Make sure there are no dead limbs or branches that may fall on you. Study natural lean of tree, location of larger branches, and wind direction. This will help you judge which way tree will fall.

2.Clear work area around tree.

3.Plan and clear a retreat path before felling. Make retreat path opposite to planned direction of fall of tree and at 45° angle (see Figure 13).
