CROSSCUTTING

ENGLISH

CAUTION!

If the chain becomes stuck in the kerf, STOP THE SAW!

Do not attempt to jerk the saw free. You could be harmed by the chain if the saw suddenly comes loose. Lever the saw free instead.

•Cutting a log on the ground. There is little danger of the saw jamming or the log splintering, but it is difficult to avoid running the saw into the ground when breaking through at the end of the cut.

Saw straight through the log. Be careful at the end of the cut to avoid contact with the ground. Keep the saw run- ning at full speed, but be prepared for the breakthrough.

-If it is possible to turn the log, stop cutting 2/3 of the way through the log.

•Cutting a log supported at one end. The log is more than likely to splinter if cut straight through from the top down.

-Make an initial cut from below (approx. 1/3 of the diameter)

- Finish the cut from above.

•Cutting a log supported at both ends. The saw is more than likely to jam in the kerf if cut straight through from above.

-Make an initial cut from the top (approx. 1/3 of the diameter).

- Finish the cut from below.

- Turn the log and cut the remaining section from above.

FELLING OPERATIONS

CAUTION!

Felling a tree is a job which calls for experience. Do not attempt to fell trees if you are inexperienced. DO NOT CARRY OUT ANY OPERATIONS FOR WHICH YOU DO NOT FEEL QUALIFIED!

CAUTION!

Beginning chain saw operators should gain experience cutting logs on a sawhorse or similar arrangement.

CAUTION!

We advise operators without sufficient experience against felling trees with trunk diameters exceeding their guide bar length.
