 Start the machine: Press the Safety

lock-off button, and then press the

switch trigger.

STOPPING OPERATION

 Release the switch trigger to stop the

top handle saw.

OPERATING THE CHAIN BRAKE

See figure 22

Check the operating condition of the chain

brake prior to each use.

 Engage the chain brake by rotating

your left hand around the front handle,

allowing the back of your hand to

push the chain brake lever/hand

guard toward the bar while the chain

is rotating rapidly. Be sure to maintain

both hands on the saw handles at all

times.

 Reset the chain brake back into the

RUN position by grasping the top of

the chain brake lever/hand guard and

pulling toward the front handle.

WARNING

If the chain brake do not stop the chain

immediately, or if the chain brake will

not stay in the run position without as-

sistance, take the saw to an authorized

service center for repair prior to use.

USING THE TOP HANDLE SAW

Always be sure of your footing and hold the

top handle saw rmly with both hands while

the motor is running.

BASIC FELLING, LIMBING, AND CROSS-

CUTTING TECHNIQUES See gure 9

FELLING A TREE

When bucking and felling operations are

being performed by two or more persons at

the same time, the felling operation should

be separated from the bucking operation by

a distance of at least twice the height of the

tree beingfelled.

Trees should not be felled in a manner that

would endanger any person, strike any util-

ity line or cause any property damage.If the

tree does make contact with any utility line,

the utility company should be notied im-

mediately. The top handle saw operator

should keep on the uphill side of the terrain

as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill

after it is felled. An escape path should be

planned and cleared as necessary before

cuts are started. The escape path should

extend back and diagonally to the rear of

the expected line of fall. Before felling is

started, consider the natural lean of the

tree, the location of larger branches and

the wind direction to judge which way the

tree will fall. Remove dirt, stones, loose

bark, nails, and staples from the tree.

NOTCHING UNDERCUT (A NOTCH CUT

IN A TREE TO DIRECT THE FALL) See

Figure 10

Make the notch 1/3 in diameter of the tree,

perpendicular to the direction of falls. Make

the lower horizontal notching cut rst, this

will help to avoid pinching of either the saw

chain or the guide bar when the second

notch is being made.

FELLING BACK CUT (THE FINAL CUT

IN A TREE FELLING OPERATION, MADE

ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE TREE

FROM THE NOTCHING UNDERCUT)

See Figure 10

Make the felling back cut at least 50mm

higher than the horizontal notching cut.

Keep the felling back cut parallel to the hor-

izontal notching cut. Make the felling back

cut so as to leave enough wood 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 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 de-

sired direction or it may rock back and bind

the saw chain, stop cutting before the fell-

ing back cut is complete and use wedges

of wood, plastic or aluminium to open the
