Do not stand on a log while limbing it –
you may slip or the log may roll.
Start limbing by leaving the lower limbs
to support the log off the ground. When
underbucking freely hanging limbs, a
pinch may result or the limb may fall,
causing loss of control. If a pinch occurs,
switch off the motor, move front hand
guard to

, remove the battery and
remove the saw by lifting the limb.
Bucking
Bucking is cutting a log into sections.
Cut only one log at a time.
Shattered wood should be cut very
carefully. Sharp slivers of wood may be
caught and flung in the direction of the
operator of the saw.
When cutting small logs, place log
through "V" – shaped supports on top of
a sawhorse. Never permit another
person to hold the log. Never hold the
log with your leg or foot.
Logs under strain:
Risk of pinching! Always start relieving
cut (1) at compression side.Then make
bucking cut
(2) at tension side. If the saw
pinches, stop the motor and remove it
from the log.
Only properly trained professionals
should work in an area where the logs,
limbs and roots are tangled. Working in
"blow down" areas is extremely
hazardous. Drag the logs into a clear
area before cutting. Pull out exposed
and cleared logs first.
MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND
STORING
If you make a warranty claim for a
component which has not been
serviced or maintained properly or if
nonapproved replacement parts were
used, STIHL may deny coverage.
Warning!
Be extremely cautious when cutting
limbs or logs under tension (spring
poles). The limbs or logs could spring
back toward the operator and cause
