Pay particular attention to branches under tension. Do not cut unsupported
branches from below.
Do not stand on the felled trunk when limbing.
BUCKING
Before carrying the tool, always apply the chain brake and remove the
battery pack from the tool. Then attach the guide bar cover.

BUCKING
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery
pack is removed before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
CAUTION:
Always wear gloves when performing any inspection or
maintenance.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like.
Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
SHARPENING THE SAW CHAIN
Sharpen the saw chain when:
Mealy sawdust is produced when damp wood is cut;
The chain penetrates the wood with difficulty, even when heavy pressure
is applied;
The cutting edge is obviously damaged;
The saw pulls to the left or right in the wood.(caused by uneven
sharpening of the saw chain or damage to one side only)
Sharpen the saw chain frequently but a little each time. Two or three strokes
with a file are usually sufficient for routine resharpening.
SHARPENING CRITERIA:
WARNING:
An excessive distance between the cutting edge and depth
gauge increases the risk of kickback.
All cutter length must be equal. Different cutter lengths prevent the saw
chain from running smoothly and may cause the saw chain to break.
Do not sharpen the chain when the cutter length has reached 3 mm or
shorter. The chain must be replaced with new one.
The chip thickness is determined by the distance between the depth
gauge (round nose)and the cutting edge.
In order to obtain the best cutting results, you'd better keep the
distance of 0.65mm between cutting edge and depth gauge
.
