MAKING CUTS

WARNING

The following are general wood cutting procedures

and techniques. Differences in the terrain, vegetation, and type of wood will make this information more or less valid for particular areas. For advice on specific wood cutting problems or techniques for your area, consult your local Stanley representative or your county agent. They can often provide information that will make your work safer and more productive.

1.Move the hydraulic circuit control valve to the ON position to pressurize the circuit.

2.Maintain a firm grip on the saw handle. While main- taining firm footing and balance, position the saw blade near the material to be cut.

Figure 4. Flush Cutting a Limb That Might Split or Tear.

4.In sawing limbs which have a tendency to split or tear when making a single saw flush cut, Figure 4, it is advisable to make more than one cut. The first cut is made a few inches from the point of the flush cut removing the weight of the limb being trimmed out and leaving a short stub. The stub is then flushed off as shown in Figure 5. Whenever practical, the cut shall be treated with tree paint if it is larger than 1 inch in diameter. This technique will avoid breaking the lateral which you are trying to save or splitting the remaining limb down the center as the flush cut is made.

FINAL CUT

THE FIRST CUT IS TO TAKE WEIGHT

OFF BEFORE THE FINAL CUT TO

PREVENT THE LIMB FROM SPLITTING

DOWN THE CENTER.

WARNING

Do not cut material that is directly overhead. When it

falls it may cause operator injury.

5.Watch the saw reaction to making a cut. Control the movement of the saw.

6.Release the ON/OFF trigger to stop saw blade rota- tion.

7.Reposition the saw to make the next cut and con- tinue operating the saw as stated above.

WARNING

After releasing the ON/OFF trigger, saw operators must be certain that the saw has come to a complete stop after a few seconds or more. The saw blade must come to a complete stop before placing the saw into the truck’s bucket, storing the saw or contacting the blade in any way. Failure to observe this warning may result in severe personal injury.
