ENGLISH

If the saw chain or bar becomes jammed:

◆ Switch the tool off.

◆ Disconnect the tool from the mains supply.

◆ Open the cut with wedges to relieve the strain

on the guide bar. Do not try to wrench the saw

free. Start a fresh cut.

Felling (fig. H - J)

◆ Pre-plan a safe exit from falling trees or branches.

◆ Cut one third of the diameter of the tree (Fig. H).

Then cut down from above to make a notch of

about 45°. This way you will avoid pinching the

saw.

◆ Make a single felling cut from the other side

but stop before you cut through to the notch

(fig. I).

◆ Drive a wedge or wedges into the felling cut to

open it and drop the tree (fig. J).

Logging (fig. K - M)

How you should cut depends on how the log is

supported. Use a saw horse whenever possible.

Always start a cut with the chain running and the

spiked bumper (15) in contact with the wood (fig. K).

To complete the cut use a pivoting action of the

spiked bumper against the wood.

When supported along its whole length

◆ Make a downward cut, but avoid cutting the

earth as this will blunt your saw quickly.

When supported at both ends

◆ First, cut one third down to avoid splintering

and second, cut again to meet the first cut.

When supported at one end

◆ First, cut one third up to avoid splintering and

second, cut down to prevent splintering.

When on a slope (fig. L)

◆ Always stand on the uphill side.

When using a saw horse (fig. M)

This is strongly recommended whenever possible.

◆ Position the log in a stable position. Always cut

on the outside of the saw horse arms.

MAINTENANCE (fig. N)

Regular maintenance ensures a long effective life

for the tool. We recommend you make the

following checks on a regular basis.

Oil level

The level in the reservoir should not be allowed to

fall below a quarter full. Top up if low.

Chain and guide bar

◆ After every few hours of use, remove the guide

bar and chain and clean thoroughly.

◆ On reassembling, the guide bar should be

turned through 180° and the sprocket nose

greased via the sprocket lubrication hole (18).

This ensures an even distribution of wear

around the guide bar rails.
