■LOGGING AND LIMBING

WARNING

1.Always ensure your foothold as well as stability of the tree.

2.Be alert to the rolling over of a cut log.

3.Read the instructions in “For safe operation” to avoid kickback of the saw.

Before starting work, check the direction of bending force inside the log to be cut. Always finish cutting from the opposite side of bending direction to prevent the guide bar from being caught in the cutaway.

●Cutting an unpillowed log

Saw down halfway, then roll the log over and cut from the opposite side. (SA3)

●Cutting a pillowed log

In the area A in the picture right above, saw up from the bottom one-third and finish by sawing down from the top. In the area B, saw down from the top one-third and finish by sawing up from the bottom. (SA4)

●Limbing a felled tree

WARNING

Be alert to the spring back of a cut limb.

First check which way the limb is bent. Then make a shallow cut into the compressed side to prevent the limb from being torn. Cut through from the tensed side. (SA5)
