○  Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.

○ Use extra caution when felling, and do not 

use the saw in a nose-high position or above 

shoulder height.

The chain catcher is located on the power head just 

below the chain to further prevent the possibility of a 

broken chain striking the chain saw user.

  Do not stand in-line with chain when cutting.
BASIC TECHNIQUES FOR MAKING FELLING, 

LIMBING AND BUCKING CUTS

The intention of the following information is to 

provide you with the general introduction to wood 

cutting techniques.

○ This information does not cover all specifi c 

situations, which may depend on diff erences 

in terrain, vegetation, kind of wood, form and 

size of trees, etc. Consult your servicing dealer, 

forestry agent or local forestry schools for advice 

on specifi c woodcutting problems in your area. 

This will make your work more effi  cient and safer.

○ Avoid cutting in adverse weather conditions, 

such as dense fog, heavy rain, bitter cold, high 

winds, etc.

  Adverse weather is often tiring to work in and 

creates potentially dangerous conditions such 

as slippery ground. 

  High winds may force the tree to fall in an 

unexpected direction causing property damage 

or personal injury.

  Never use a chain saw to pry or for any purpose 

for which it is not intended.

○ Avoid stumbling on obstacles such as stumps, 

roots, rocks, branches and fallen trees. Watch 

out for holes and ditches. Be extremely cautious 

when working on slopes or uneven ground.

 Shut 

off  the engine when moving from one work 

place to another.

  Always cut at wide open throttle. A slow moving 

chain can easily catch and force the saw to jerk.

○  Never use the saw with only one hand.

  You cannot control the saw properly and you 

may lose control and injure yourself severely.

  Keep the saw body close to your body to improve 

control and reduce strain.
