BASIC OPERATING/CUTTING
PROCEDURES
Practice cutting a few small logs using the following
technique to get the “feel” of using the saw before
you begin a major sawing operation.
Take the proper stance in front of the wood with
the saw idling.
Accelerate the engine to full throttle just before
entering the cut by squeezing the throttle trigger.
Begin cutting with the saw against the log.
Keep the engine at full throttle the entire time
you are cutting.
Allow the chain to cut for you; exert only light
downward pressure. Forcing the cut could result
in damage to the bar, chain, or engine.
Release the throttle trigger as soon as the cut is
completed allowing the engine to idle. Running
the saw at full throttle without a cutting load can
result in unnecessary wear to the chain, bar, and
engine.
Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of
the cut.
