CUTTING PROCEDURE BASICS
1. Start the unit. Refer to Starting Instructions in the Starting and Stopping section. Keep your ngers
o the throttle control until you are ready to make a cut.
2. Make sure that oil is owing onto the guide bar and saw chain. A small spray should be visible.
When using the unit for the rst time, allow 30-60 seconds for the oil to begin owing.
3. Press the unit against the wood and maintain a rm, steady pressure through most of the cut. Do
not put pressure on the unit at the end of the cut.
4. Keep the unit running through the entire cut.
5. Do not try to force the saw through the wood. Allow the saw chain to do the cutting. Exert only
light pressure. Forcing the cut could result in damage to the unit or personal injury.
6. Release the trigger as soon as the cut is completed. Allow the saw chain to come to a complete
stop. The saw chain, guide bar and motor may experience unnecessary wear if the unit is run
without a cutting load.
PRUNING
Pruning is the process of cutting limbs from a living tree.
1. Run the unit at full speed.
2. Make the rst cut approximately 6 inches (15 cm) from the tree trunk. Cut upward, from the
underside of the limb. Use the top of the guide bar to make this cut. Cut a third of the way through
the diameter of the limb (Fig. 13).
3. Make the second cut 2 - 4 inches (5 - 10 cm) farther out on the limb. Cut downward, from the top of
the limb. Use the bottom of the guide bar to make this cut. Cut completely through the limb (Fig. 13).
4. Make the third cut as close to the tree trunk as possible. Cut upward, from the underside of the
limb stub. Use the top of the guide bar to make this cut. Cut a third of the way through the
diameter of the limb (Fig. 13).
5. Make the fourth cut directly above the third cut. Cut downward, from the top of the limb stub. Use
the bottom of the guide bar to make this cut. Cut completely through the limb stub to meet the
third cut (Fig. 13). This will remove the limb stub.
