Cutting Guidance

Warning  

  Danger

The  front  part  or  top  end  of the guide  plate  must  not 

contact with any object during operation of the engine, 

so as to avoid bounce.

In any case, the chain saw must be operated by one person. The 

operator cannot ensure the safety during the first operations, 

therefore, it is preferable to appoint an assistant. After you 

master the basic skills of operation, the best assistant is good 

response capability.
The best way to control the chain saw is to stand on the left side of 

the chain saw and hold the carrying handle with the left hand. Thus 

the throttle can be controlled with the fingers of the right hand.
Before cutting large trees, fully get familiar with the control 

operations and corresponding responses of the chain saw, and cut 

small logs or large branches. Start the engine and check whether 

the engine rotates normally. Press the throttle to accelerate the 

chain saw and start cutting. The throttle must not be pressed 

excessively. If the edge is sharp, cutting can be done efficiently. 

If the saw pushing force is too large, the engine speed will be 

reduced, and the smoothness of actual cutting will be affected.
Some materials (such as palm acid, fertilizer, etc.) are not 

favorable for the shell of the chain saw. In order to prevent the 

shell of the chain saw from damage, debris such as sawdust on 

the clutch and guide plate must be cleared, and the clutch and 

guide plate must be cleaned.

Tree cutting

Fallen trees may cause serious damage to any object, such as 

cars, houses, fences, power lines or other trees.

•

 You can control the falling

direction of trees. However, you

must determine the location of

fallen tree.

•

 Clean debris around trees before

cutting.

•

You should select a good standing place to avoid any

obstacle during cutting.

•

Then select the retreat route.

•

When the tree starts falling down, you must move back 3m

with a 45-degree angle relative to the opposite direction of

tree falling, so as to avoid bounce of the fallen tree.

Gap

1/3 of diameter

2.5-5cm

A

1/10 of tree diameter

•

First saw the tree in the falling direction.

•

Form a gap of approximate 1/3 of the tree diameter.

•

Then saw the tree in the opposite direction of the gap to

make the tree fall.

•

Place the nail-shaped iron stopper at 2.5 - 5cm above the

bottom of the gap. When the sawing place is about 1/10 the

tree diameter away from the gap bottom, stop sawing. The

left part is used like a hinge.

•

Do not saw through the tree in the falling direction to the gap.

•

The part between the gap and the sawed section in the

falling direction is used like a hinge, so that the tree can

fall in the determined direction.

•

When the tree starts falling, stop the engine, place the saw

on the ground and rapidly retreat along the determined route.

If the diameter of the tree to be sawed is more than twice

of the length of the guide plate, first cut the gas on one

side and then saw to the other side along the gap. The gap

depth should be approximately 1/3 of the tree diameter.
