bark, nails, staples, and wire from the tree where the felling cuts
are to be made.
• notching Undercut - Make the notch 1/3 of the diameter
of the tree, perpendicular to the direction of the fall. Make
the lower horizontal notching cut first. This will help to avoid
pinching of either the saw chain or the guide bar when the
second notch cut is being made as shown below.
• Felling Back Cut - Make the felling back cut at least 51 mm
higher than the horizontal notching cut. Keep the felling back
cut parallel to the horizontal notching cut. Make the felling back
cut so enough wood is left to act as a hinge. The hinge wood
keeps the tree from twisting and falling in the wrong direction.
Do not cut through the hinge as shown below.
• As the felling cut gets close to the hinge the tree should begin
to fall. If there is any chance that the tree may not fall in the
desired direction or it may rock back and bind the saw chain,
stop cutting before the felling cut is complete and use wedges
to open the cut and drop the tree along the desired line of fall.
When the tree begins to fall remove the chainsaw from the cut,
stop the motor, put the chainsaw down, then use the retreat
path planned. Be alert for overhead limbs falling and watch
your footing.

Limbing (Fig. O)
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. Branches under tension should be
cut from the bottom of the branch towards the top to avoid
binding the chainsaw as shown in Fig. O. Trim limbs from
opposite side keeping tree stem between you and saw. Never
make cuts with saw between your legs or straddle the limb to
be cut.
Bucking (Fig. P)

WARNING: Recommend that first-time users should practice
cutting on a saw horse.
Cutting a felled tree or log into lengths. How you should
cut depends on how the log is supported. Use a saw horse
whenever possible as shown in Fig. P.
1. Always start a cut with the saw chain running at full speed.
2. Place the bottom spike of the chainsaw behind the area of
the initial cut as shown below.
3. Turn the chainsaw on then rotate the saw chain and bar
down into the tree, using the spike
4. Once the chainsaw gets to a 45 ° angle, level the chainsaw
again and repeat steps until you cut fully through.
5. When the tree is supported along its entire length, make a
cut from the top (overbuck), but avoid cutting the earth as this
will dull your saw quickly.

• When supported at one end first, cut 1/3 the diameter from
the underside (underbuck). Then make the finishing cut by
overbucking to meet the first cut as shown below.

• When supported at both ends. First, cut 1/3 down from the top
overbuck. Then make the finished cut by underbucking the lower
2/3 to meet the first cut as shown below.
• When on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the log.
When "cutting through," to maintain complete control reduce
the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing
your grip on the chain saw handles. Don't let the 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 cut to cut.
MAINTENANCE
Your power tool has been designed to operate over a long
period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous
satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and
regular cleaning.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
turn tool off and disconnect battery pack before making
any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or
accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
The charger and battery pack are not serviceable.
Saw Chain Sharpness (Fig. Q‑S)

CAUTION: Sharp chain. Always wear protective gloves when
handling the chain. The chain is sharp and can cut you when it is
not running.
