Never starve the bar and chain of oil. Running the saw with too little oil will decrease cutting efficiency, shorten saw chain life, cause rapid dulling of chain, and cause excessive wear of bar from overheating. Too little oil is evidenced by smoke, bar discoloration or pitch build-up. A B Fig. 10 Automatic Oiler Your chain saw is equipped with an automatic gear driven D oiler system. The oiler automatically delivers the proper amount of oil to the bar and chain. As the engine speed increases, so does the oil flow to the bar pad. The amount of oil flowing to the bar and chain may be changed by turning the adjustment screw (D) with a small slotted screwdriver as shown in Fig. 11. Turn the screw clockwise to DECREASE oil flow and counterclockwise to INCREASE the flow. Fig. 11 12 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FELLING Felling is the term for cutting down a tree. Small trees up to 6-7 inches (15-18cm) in diameter are usually cut in a single cut. Larger trees require notch cuts. Notch cuts determine the direction the tree will fall. A retreat path (A) WARNING: should be planned and cleared as necessary before cuts are started. The retreat path should extend back and diagonally to the rear of the expected line of fall, as illustrated in Fig. 12. Never walk in front of WARNING: a tree that has been notched. When felling, keep at least 2 tree lengths away from your fellow workers. Make the felling cut (D) from the other side of the tree and 1.5 - 2.0 inches (3-5 cm) above the edge of the notch (C) (Fig. 13). If felling a tree on CAUTION: sloping ground, the chain 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. NOTE: Direction of fall (B) is controlled by the notching cut. Before any cuts are made, consider the location of larger branches and natural lean of the tree to determine the way the tree will fall. B A Fig. 12 Do not cut down a WARNING: tree during high or changing winds or if there is a danger to property. Consult a tree professional.Do not cut down a tree if there is a danger of striking utility wires; notify the utility company before making any cuts. Normally felling consists of 2 main cutting operations, notching (C) and making the felling cut (D) (Fig. 13). Start making the upper notch cut (C) on the side of the tree facing the felling direction (E). Be sure you don t make the lower cut too deep into the trunk (Fig. 13). The notch (C) should be deep enough to create a hinge (F) of sufficient width and strength. The notch should be wide enough to direct the fall of the tree for as long as possible (Fig. 13). Hinge Fig. 13 Never saw completely through the trunk. Always leave a hinge. The hinge guides the tree. If the trunk is completely cut through, control over the felling direction is lost. Before making the final cut, always recheck the area for bystanders, animals or obstacles. WARNING: Insert a wedge or felling lever in the cut well before the tree becomes unstable and starts to move. This will prevent the guidebar from binding in the felling cut if you have misjudged the falling direction. Make sure no bystanders have entered the range of the falling tree before you push it over. Felling Cut: 1. Use wooden or plastic wedges (G) to prevent binding the bar or chain (H) in the cut. Wedges also control felling (Fig. 14). 2. When diameter of wood being cut is greater than the bar length, make 2 cuts as shown (Fig. 15). As the felling cut WARNING: gets close to the hinge, the tree should begin to fall. When tree begins to fall, remove saw from cut, stop engine, put chain saw down, and leave area along retreat path (Fig. 12). G H Fig. 14 13 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Fig. 15 LIMBING Limbing a tree is the process of removing the branches from a fallen tree. Do not remove supporting limbs (A) until after the log is bucked (cut) into lengths (Fig. 16). Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the chain saw. When bucking on a slope, always stand on the uphill side. 1. Log supported along entire length: Cut from top (overbuck), being careful to avoid cutting into the ground (Fig. 17). 2. Log supported on 1 end: First, cut from bottom (underbuck) 1/3 diameter of log to avoid splintering. Second, cut from above (overbuck) to meet first cut and avoid pinching (Fig. 18). 3. Log supported on both ends: First, overbuck 1/3 diameter of log to avoid splintering. Second, underbuck to meet first cut and avoid pinching (Fig. 19). NOTE: The best way to hold a log while bucking is to use a sawhorse. When this is not possible, the log should be raised and supported by the limb stumps or by using supporting logs. Be sure the log being cut is securely supported. Fig. 18 A Fig. 16 Never cut tree limbs while standing on a tree trunk. WARNING: BUCKING Bucking is cutting a fallen log into lengths. Make sure you have a good footing and stand uphill of the log when cutting on sloping ground. If possible, the ...
