FELLING OPERATION, MADE ON THE OPPOSITE

SIDE OF THE TREE FROM THE NOTCHING

UNDERCUT)

See Figure 10

Make the felling back cut at least 50mm higher than the

horizontal notching cut. Keep the felling back cut parallel

to the horizontal notching cut. Make the felling back cut

so as to leave enough wood to act as a hinge. The hinge

wood keeps the tree from twisting and falling in the wrong

direction. Do not cut through the hinge. As the felling

cut gets close to the hinge, the tree should begin to fall.

If there is any chance that the tree may not fall in the

desired direction or it may rock back and bind the saw

chain, stop cutting before the felling back cut is complete

and use wedges of wood, plastic or aluminium to open the

cut and drop the tree along the desired line of fall. When

the tree begins to fall, remove the chain saw from the cut,

stop the motor, put the chain saw down, and then use the

retreat path as planned. Be alert of overhead limbs falling

and watch your footing.

LIMBING A TREE

See figure 11

Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen tree.

When limbing, leave the larger lower limbs to support the

log off the ground. Remove the small limbs in one cut.

Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom

up, to avoid binding the chain saw.

BUCKING A LOG

See figure 12 - 15

Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to

make sure your footing is fi rm and your weight is evenly

distributed on both feet. When possible, the log should be

raised and supported by the use of limbs, logs or chocks.

Follow the simple direction for easy cutting:

1. When the log is supported along the entire length, it is

cut from the top (over buck).

2. When the log is supported on one end, cut 1/3 of the

diameter from the underside (under buck). Then make the

fi nished cut by over bucking to meet the fi rst cut.

3. When the log is supported on both ends, cut 1/3 of that

diameter from the top (over buck). Then make the finished

cut by under bucking the lower 2/3 to meet the first cut.

4. When bucking on a slope, always stand on the

uphill side of the log. When cutting through, to maintain

complete control, release the cutting pressure near the

end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the chain saw

handles.

Do not let the chain contact the ground. After completing

the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you move

the chain saw. Always stop the motor before moving from

tree to tree.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING

Always remove the battery pack from the machine before

checking the chain tension or making adjustments to the

chain. Wear protective gloves while touching the chain,

bar or areas around the chain.

ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION

See gure 2 and gure 7

 Loosen the chain cover lock nuts (item 10) with the

supplied wrench. The chain cover lock nuts do not

have to be completely removed in order to adjust the

chain tension.

 Rotate the chain adjustment screw(item 11)

clockwise to increase the chain tension and rotate

counterclockwise to decrease the chain tension.

 Once the chain is at the desired tension, tighten the

chain cover lock nuts(item 10).

REPLACING THE BAR AND CHAIN

See Figure 3-7

 Remove the battery from the chain saw.

 Remove the supplied wrench(item 12) from the rear

handle (item 3).

 Remove the two chain cover lock nuts (item 10) from

chain cover by rotating them counterclockwise with

the wrench.

 Remove the chain cover(item 15) from the mounting

surface.

 The bar and chain can now be removed by lifting it

away from the main body of the saw and releasing

the chain from the sprocket.

 Remove the old chain from the bar.

 Lay out the new saw chain in a loop and straighten

any kinks. The cutters should face in the direction of

chain rotation. If they face backwards, turn the loop

over.

 Place the chain drive links into the bar groove.

 Position the chain so there is a loop at the back of

the bar.

 Hold the chain in position on the bar and place the

loop around the sprocket.

 Fit the bar ush against the mounting surface so that

the bar studs are in the long slot of the bar. Ensure

that the chain is over the sprocket.

 Replace the chain cover.

 Remove all slack from the chain by turning the chain

adjustment screw(item 11) clockwise until the chain

seats snugly against the bar with the drive links in the

bar groove(item 20).

 Lift the tip of the guide bar up to check for sag.

 Release the tip of the guide bar and turn the chain

adjustment screw 1/2 turn clockwise. Repeat this

process until sag does not exist.

 Hold the tip of the guide bar up and tighten the chain

cover lock nuts by turning them with the wrench. The
