◾
As the felling gets close to the hinge, the tree should
EN
begin to fall. If there is any chance that the tree may
not fall in desired direction or it may rock back and
bind the saw chain, stop cutting before the felling back
cut is complete and use wedges of wood, plastic or
aluminium to open the cut and drop the tree along the
desired line of fall.
◾
When the tree begins to fall remove the chain saw
from the cut, stop the motor, put the chain saw
down, then use the retreat path planned. Be alert for
overhead limbs falling and watch your footing.
Limbing a tree
Limbing is 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 as Fig. T shown.
Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to
avoid binding the chain saw.
Bucking a log
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to
make sure your footing is firm and your weight is evenly
distributed on both feet. When possible, the log should be
raised and supported by the use of limbs, logs or chocks.
Follow the simple directions for easy cutting.
◾
When the log is supported along its entire length as
Fig. U1 shown, it is cut from the top (overbuck).
◾
When the log is supported on one end, as Fig. U2
shown, cut 1/3 the diameter from the underside
(underbuck). Then make the finished cut by
overbucking to meet the first cut.
◾
When the log is supported on both ends, as Fig. U3
shown, cut 1/3 the diameter from the top (overbuck).
Then make the finished cut by underbucking the lower
2/3 to meet the first cut.
◾
When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill
side of the log, as Fig. V shown.
◾
When "cutting through", to maintain complete control
release 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 tree to tree.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a
hazard or cause product damage. To ensure safety and
reliability, all repairs should be performed by a qualified
service technician.

56 VOLT LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW — CS2000E
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always
remove the battery pack from the product before inspecting,
cleaning, or performing maintenance. A battery operated
tool with the battery pack inserted is always on and can start
accidently.
WARNING:
When cleaning the chain saw, DO NOT
immerse it in water or other liquids.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, petrol,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in
contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or
destroy plastic, which may result in serious personal injury.
CLEANING
◾
After each use, clean debris from the chain and guide
bar with a soft brush. Wipe the chain saw surface with
a clean cloth moistened with a mild soap solution.
◾
Remove the side cover, and then use a soft brush to
remove debris from the guide bar, saw chain, sprocket
and side cover.
◾
Always clean out wood chips, saw dust, and dirt from
the guide bar groove when replacing the saw chain.
GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE
When the guide bar shows signs of wear, disassemble
it from the chain saw power head and reverse it
for reassembly (Fig. W1). This way the wear will be
distributed to maximize the guide bar life.
The bar should be cleaned every day of use and checked
for wear and damage. Feathering or burring of the bar
rails is a normal process of bar wear. Such faults should
be smoothed with a file as soon as they occur. A bar with
any of the following faults should be replaced.
◾
Wear inside the bar rails which permits the chain to lay
over sideways.
◾
Bent guide bar.
◾
Cracked or broken rails.
◾
Spread rails.
In addition, the guide bar has a sprocket at its tip (Fig. W2).
The sprocket must be lubricated weekly with a grease syringe
to extend the guide bar life. Use a grease syringe to lubricate
weekly with chain oil by means of the lubricating hole (Fig. W3).
Turn the guide bar and check that the lubrication holes and
chain groove are free from impurities.
