GENERAL
In all circumstances the operation of the chain saw is a one-man
job. It is difficult at times to take care for your own safety, so don't
assume the responsibility for a helper as well. After you have
learned the basic techniques of using the saw, your best aid will
be your own good common sense.
The accepted way to hold the saw is to stand to the left of the
saw with your left hand on the front handlebar and your right
hand on the rear handle so you can operate the throttle trigger
with your right index finger.
Before attempting to fell a tree, cut some small logs or limbs.
Become thoroughly familiar with the controls and the responses
of the saw.
Start the engine, see that it is running properly. Squeeze the trig-
ger to open the throttle wide open and start the cut. If the chain is
properly sharpened, the cutting should be relatively effortless. It
is not necessary to press down hard to make the saw cut. Push-
ing the saw too hard will slow the engine and cutting will actually
be more difficult.
NOTE
Some material may adversely affect the housings of your Shindaiwa
chain saw.
(Example: Palm Tree Acid, fertilizer, etc.) To avoid housing dete-
rioration, carefully remove all packed saw dust around clutch and
guide bar area and wash with water. Coat metal parts with light oil.
Do not let the tip of the bar touch anything while the engine is run-
ning. At cutting speed the chain is moving at a high rate of speed.
Should the tip contact a limb or log while the chain is moving, the
tip will be pushed upward with considerable force. This is known
as kickback. Avoid it!
