OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
6. Basic Cutting
NOTICE: Practice cutting a few small logs using the
following technique to get the "feel" of using your
saw before you begin a major sawing operation.
Follow the steps below to prevent damage to tree
or shrub bark. Do not use a back-and-forth sawing
motion.
a. Make a shallow (1/4 of the limb diameter) first
cut (1) on the underside of the limb, close to
the main limb or trunk (Fig. 6b).
b. Make the second cut (2) from the top side of
the limb, outboard from the first cut. Continue
the cut through the limb until the limb separates
from the tree. Be prepared to balance the
weight of the tool when the limb falls (Fig. 6b).
c. Make the final cut (3) close to the trunk.
NOTICE: For the second and final cuts (from the
top of the limb or branch), hold the bucking spikes
against the limb being cut (Fig. 6c). This will help
to steady the limb and make it easier to cut. Allow
the chain to cut for you; exert only light, downward
pressure. If you force the cut, damage to the bar,
chain, or motor can result.
d. Release the trigger on the power head as soon
as the cut is completed.
NOTICE: Failure to follow proper cutting
procedures will result in the bar and chain binding
and becoming pinched or trapped in the limb. If this
should happen:
• Stop the motor and remove the battery pack.
• If the limb can be reached from the ground,
lift the limb while holding the saw. This should
release the "pinch" and free the saw.
• If the saw is still trapped, call a professional for
assistance.
