8. Sawing

NOTE

Before proceeding to your job, read “For Safe Operation” section. It is recommended to first practice sawing easy logs. This also helps you get accustomed to your unit.

It is not necessary to force the saw into the cut. Apply only light pressure while running the engine at full throttle.

Racing the engine with the chain seized in a cutaway can damage the clutch system. When the saw chain is caught in the cut, do not attempt to pull it out by force, but use a wedge or a lever to open the cut.

GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK

This saw is equipped with a special “low kickback” chain that greatly reduces the severty of kickback should it occur.

The saw chain has been tested in accordance with American National Standard Safety Specifications for gasoline powered chain saw (ANSI B175.1 1985) as having an acceptable low kickback level. On this saw never use any chain other than those recommended on page 18 of this manual, or which is not designated as meeting the ANSI B175.1 kickback levels on this saw.

Low kickback saw chains are chains which have met the kickback requirements of ANSI B175.1 when tested on the representative samples of chain saws below 3.8 C.I.D. specified in ANSI B175.1.

The guide bar supplied with this saw has an under 1.2 inch radius sprocket nose which produces a specific kickback energy. Never use a bar with a larger nose radius. Use only those recommended on page 18.

The length of bars has a great effect on kickback. Use only those length as specified on page 18.

This saw is also equipped with a chain brake that will stop the chain in the event of kickback if operating properly. You must check the chain brake operation before each usage by running the saw at full throttle for 1 or 2 seconds and pushing the front hand guard forward. The chain
