1. Remove dirt stones loose bark nails staples and wire from the tree where felling cuts are to be made Notched Undercut Cut a notch about 1 3 the diameter of the trunk in the side of the tree Make the notch cuts so they intersect at a right angle to the line of fall This notch should be cleaned out to leave a straight line To keep the weight of the wood off the saw always make the lower cut of the notch before the upper cut Felling Backcut As the felling cut gets close to the hinge the tree should begin to fall If there is any chance 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 of wood plastic or aluminum to open the cut and drop the tree along its desired line of fall Make the backcut level and horizontal and at a minimum of 2 5 cm above the horizontal cut of the notch PLANNED LINE PLANNED LINE 135 FROM PATH OF PLANNED LINE SAFE OF FALL RETREAT 21 OPERATING YOUR CHAIN SAW NOTE Never cut through to the notch Always leave a band of wood between the notch and back cut ap proximately 2 5 cm or 1 10 the diameter of the tree This is called hinge or hingewood It controls the fall of the tree and prevents slipping or twisting or shoot back of the tree off the stump On large diameter trees stop the back cut before it is deep enough for the tree to either fall or settle bac2. 3 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw switched off and away from your body When transporting or storing the chain saw always fit the guide bar cover Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain G Follow instructions for lubricating chain tensioning and changing accessories Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback K Keep handles dry clean and free from oil and grease Greasy oily handles are slippery causing loss of control L Cut wood only Do not use chain saw for purpose not intended For example do not use chain saw for cutting plastic masonry or non wood building materials Use of the chain saw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in a serious personal injury Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices build into your saw As a chain saw user you should take

5. Note During normal saw operation the temperature of the chain increases The drive links of a correctly tensioned warm chain will hang approximately 1 16 in 1 58 mm out of the bar groove Note New chains tend to stretch check the chain tension frequently and tension as required 1 16 in 1 58 mm 30 MAINTENANCE A CAUTION A chain tensioned while warm may be too tight upon cooling Check the cold tension before next use Never tension a warm chain before storing as chains shrink when cool This can damage the chain bar and saw CHAIN MAINTENANCE see figure 35 Use only a low kickback chain on this saw This fast cutting chain provides kickback reduction when properly maintained For smooth and fast cutting maintain the chain properly The chain requires Raker Depth Gauge Clearance sharpening when the wood chips are small and powdery the chain must be forced through the wood during cutting or the chain cuts to one side During maintenance of the chain consider the following Improper filing angle of the side plate can increase the risk of severe kickback Raker depth gauge clearance Too low increases the potential for kickback Not low enough decreases cutting ability Ifthe cutter teeth hit hard objects such as nails or stones or are abraded by mud or sand on the wood have an authorized service center sharpen the chain 1 32 in 0 79 mm Note Inspect the
