PRE CUTTING TEST
•Familiarize yourself with your chain saw before you start actual cutting.
•For this purpose it may be wise to practice by cutting some small logs or limbs several times.
•Do not allow either people or animals into the work area. Multiple operators - Keep a safe distance between two or more operators when working together simultaneously.
CHAIN LUBRICATION TEST
Hold the chain just above a dry surface and open the throttle to half speed for 30 seconds.
A thin line of “thrown” oil should be seen on the dry surface.
Make felling cuts from left side when possible
Kickback arc is away from you
CHECKING CHAIN TENSION
•Chain tension should be checked frequently during work and corrected if necessary.
•Tension the chain as tight as possible, but so it can still be pulled easily along the bar by hand.
WARNING 
DANGER
MAKE SURE THAT THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF WHEN CHECKING CHAIN TENSION.
Too short a distance to your body
If a felling cut must be made from the right side, stay out of the kickback path.
Do not crowed the saw with your body!
CUTTING INSTRUCTION
GENERAL
In all circumstances the operation of the chain saw is a
It is difficult at times to take care of your own safety, so don’t assume the responsibility for a helper as well. After you have learned the basic techniques of using the saw, your best aid will be your own good common sense.
The accepted way to hold the saw is to stand to the left of the saw with your left hand on the front handle so you can operate the throttle trigger with your right index finger.
Before attempting to fell a tree, cut some small logs or limbs.
Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the responses of the saw.
Start the engine, see that is running properly. Squeeze the trigger to open the throttle wide open, then start the cut. It is not necessary to press down hard to make the saw cut. If the chain is properly sharpened, the cutting should be relatively effortless.
Pushing the saw too hard will slow the engine and cutting will actually be more difficult.
Some material may adversely affect the housing of your chain saw.
(Example: palm tree acid, fertilizer etc.)
To avoid housing deterioration carefully remove all packed saw dust around clutch and guide bar area and wash with water.
