When limbing, leave 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 of the branch towards the top to avoid binding the chain saw as shown in Figure R.

When "cutting through", to maintain complete control reduce the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the chain saw handles. Don't 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 cut to cut. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Do not use solvents to clean the plastic housing of the saw. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

FELLING BACK CUT

Limbing
Removing the branches from a fallen tree. When limbing,
leave 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 of the branch towards the
top to avoid binding the chain saw as shown in Figure R.
Trim limbs from opposite side keeping tree stem between
you and saw. Never make cuts with saw between your legs
or straddle the limb to be cut.

WARNING:
Recommend that first time users should
practice cutting on a saw horse.
Cutting a felled tree or log into lengths. How you should cut
depends on how the log is supported. Use a saw horse (see
Figure S) whenever possible.

•
Always start a cut with the chain running at full speed.
•
Place the bottom spike
 22 
of the chain saw behind the
area of the initial cut as shown in Figure T.
•
Turn the chain saw on then rotate the chain and bar
down into the tree, using the spike as a hinge.
•
Once the chain saw gets to a 45 degree angle, level
the chain saw again and repeat steps until you cut
fully through.
•
When the tree is supported along its entire length, make
a cut from the top (overbuck), but avoid cutting the
earth as this will dull your saw quickly.
