56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW — CS1610/CS1610-FC34
3. When the tree begins to fall, remove the chain saw from the cut, stop the motor,
put the chain saw down, then use the retreat path planned. Be alert for overhead
limbs falling and watch your footing.
LIMBING
Limbing is removing branches from a
fallen tree. When limbing, leave larger
limbs to support the log off the ground.
Remove the small limbs in one cut as
illustrated in Fig. 18. Branches under
tension should be cut from the bottom up
to avoid binding the chain saw.
WARNING:
There is an extreme
danger of kickback during the limbing operation. Be extremely cautious and avoid
contacting the log or other limbs with the tip of the guide bar.
BUCKING A LOG (Fig. 19):
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is
important to make sure your footing is
firm and your weight is evenly distributed
on both feet. When possible, the log
should be raised and supported by the
use of limbs, logs, or chocks. Follow the
simple directions for easy cutting.
WARNING:
Keep a clear-cutting
area. Make sure that no objects can
contact the guide bar nose and chain
during cutting – this can cause kickback.
Overbucking
Begin on the top side of the log with the
bottom of the saw against the log; exert
light pressure downward. Note that the
saw will tend to pull away from you.
