NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating the power tool. Before plugging in the power tool, make sure that the outlet voltage supplied is within the voltage marked on the power tool's data plate. Do not use "AC only" rated power tools with a DC power supply. To reduce the risk of electric shock, use the power tool only with an extension cord intended for outdoor use, such as an extension cord of cord type: SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A. or SJTOW-A. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current that your power tool will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

Limbing a tree
Limbing is 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 as illustrated.
Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up
to avoid binding the chain saw.
Bucking a log
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to

distributed on both feet. When possible, the log should be
raised and supported by the use of limbs, logs or chocks.

When the log is supported along its entire length as
illustrated, it is cut from the top (overbuck).

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 saw 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.
