Bucking
1. Rest the chain saw body on the wood to be
cut.
2. With the saw chain running, saw into the
wood while using the top handle to raise the saw
and the front one to guide it.
3. Continue the cut by applying slight pressure
to the top handle, easing the saw back slightly.
NOTICE: When making several cuts, switch
the chain saw off between cuts.
CAUTION: If the upper edge of the bar
is used for cutting, the chain saw may be
deflected in your direction if the chain
becomes trapped. For this reason, cut
with the lower edge, so that the saw will be
deflected away from your body.
When you cut a wood under tension, cut the
pressured side (A) first. Then make the final cut
from the tensioned side (B). This prevents the
bar from becoming trapped.
Limbing
CAUTION: Limbing may only be per-
formed by trained persons. A hazard is pre-
sented by the risk of kickback.
When limbing, support the chain saw on the
trunk if possible. Do not cut with the tip of the
bar, as this presents a risk of kickback.
Pay particular attention to branches under ten-
sion. Do not cut unsupported branches from
below.
Do not stand on the felled trunk when limbing.
Carrying tool
Before carrying the tool, always apply the chain
brake and remove the battery cartridges from the
tool. Then attach the guide bar cover. Also cover
the battery cartridge with the battery cover.

performing any inspection or maintenance.
