Log Supported On One End

1. Make ﬁrst cut on underside of log (see Figure 15). Use top of guide bar to make this cut. Cut 1/3 through diam- eter of log. This cut will keep section from splintering when cut.

2. Make second cut directly above ﬁrst
cut. Cut down to meet ﬁrst cut. This
cut will keep log from pinching guide
bar and chain.	2nd Cut

WARNING: When cleaning saw body

•do not submerge saw in any liquids

•do not use products that con- tain ammonia, chlorine, or abrasives

•do not use chlorinated clean- ing solvents, carbon tetrachlo- ride, kerosene, or gasoline

Keep saw body clean. Use a soft cloth damp- ened with a mild soap and water mixture. Wipe saw body to clean.

1.Make ﬁrst cut from above log (see Fig- ure 16). Cut 1/3 through diameter of log. This cut will keep section from splintering when cut.

2.Make second cut on underside of log, directly under ﬁrst cut. Use top of guide bar to make this cut. Cut up to meet ﬁrst cut. This will keep log from pinch- ing guide bar and chain.

NOTICE: Below are instructions for servicing your chain saw. Any servicing not mentioned below should be done by an authorized service person.

CLEANING SAW BODY

WARNING: Unplug chain saw from power source before servic- ing. Severe injury or death could occur from electrical shock or body contact with moving chain.

WARNING: Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use protective gloves when handling chain.

CARE OF GUIDE BAR

Uneven bar wear causes most guide bar problems. Incorrect sharpening of chain cutter and depth gauge settings often cause this. When bar wears unevenly, it widens guide bar groove (see Figure 17). This causes chain clatter and rivet popping. Saw will not cut straight. Replace guide bar if this occurs.

Inspect guide bar before sharpening chain. A worn or damaged guide bar is unsafe. A worn or damaged guide bar will damage chain. It will also make cutting harder.
