Kickbacks, skating, bouncing and dropping
Different forces can have an effect on the safe
control of the product.

• Skating is when the guide bar glides or
  moves quickly across the wood.

• Bouncing is when the guide bar lifts off the
  wood and touches it again and again.

• Dropping is when the product drops down
  after the cut is made. This can cause the
  moving chain to touch a part of the body or
  other objects, causing injury or damage.

• Kickback is when the end of the guide bar
  touches objects and moves rearward, up or
  suddenly forward. Kickback also occurs
  when the wood closes in and pinches thesaw chain during the cut. Loss of control
  can result if the product touches an object
  in wood.

• Rotational Kickback can occur when the
  moving chain touches an object at the
  top of the guide bar. This can cause the
  chain to bury into the object and cause
  the chain to stop immediately. The result
  is a very fast, reverse reaction that
  moves the guide bar up and rearward in
  the direction of the operator.

• Pinch-Kickback can occur when the saw
  chain suddenly stops during the cut. The
  wood closes in and pinches the moving
  saw chain along the top of the guide
  bar. The sudden stop of the chain
  reverses the chain force and causes the
  product to move in the opposite
  direction of the turn of the chain. The
  product moves rearward in the direction
  of the operator.

• Pull-In can occur when the saw chain
  suddenly stops when the moving chain
  touches an object in the wood along the
  bottom of the guide bar. The sudden
  stop pulls the product forward and away
  from the operator, which can easily cause the loss of control of the product
  by the operator.Make sure that you understand the different
  forces and how to prevent them before you
  operate the product.
  To prevent kickbacks, skating, bouncing and
  dropping

• While the engine runs, make sure to hold
  the product tightly. Keep your right hand on
  the rear handle and the left hand on the
  front handle. Tightly hold with thumbs and
  fingers around the handles. Do not let go.

• Keep control of the product during the cut
  and after the wood falls to the ground. Do
  not let the weight of the product drop down
  after the cut is made.

• Make sure that the area in which you are
  cutting is free from blockage. Do not let the
  nose of the guide bar touch a log, branch
  or other blockages while you operate the
  product.

• Cut at high engine speeds.

• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height. Always have fire extinguishing tools and a
  shovel available to help prevent forest fires.

To fell a tree

1. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails,
   staples and wire from the tree.

2. Make a notch 1/3 the diameter of the tree,
   perpendicular to the direction of the fall.

3. Make the lower horizontal notch cut. This
   will prevent either the saw chain or the
   guide bar from being pinched when the
   second notch is made.

4. Make the felling back cut (X) at least 50
   mm (2 in) higher than the horizontal
   notching cut. Keep the felling back cut
   parallel to the horizontal notching cut so
   enough wood is left to act as a hinge. Do
   not cut through the hinge. The hinge wood
   keeps the tree from twisting and falling in
   the wrong direction. 

5. As the felling back cut nears the hinge, the
   tree starts to fall. Make sure that the tree
   can fall in the correct direction and not rock
   rearward and pinch the saw chain. Stop the
   cut before the felling back cut is complete
   to prevent this. Use wedges of wood,
   plastic or aluminium to open the cut and let
   the tree fall along the necessary line of fall.

6. When the tree begins to fall, remove the
   product from the cut, stop the engine, put
   the product down, then use the retreat path
   planned. Be alert for overhead limbs falling
   and watch your footing. 

To limb a tree

1. Use larger limbs to hold the log off the ground.
2. Remove small limbs in one cut.

3. Cut branches that have tension from the bottom to the top to prevent pinching the saw chain or the guide bar.

To buck a log

CAUTION: Do not let the saw
chain touch the ground.

• If the log is supported along its entire length, cut from the top of the log (known as overbucking).

• If the log is supported on one end, cut 1/3
  the diameter from the underside of the log
  (known as underbucking)

• If the log is supported on both ends, cut 1/3 the diameter from the top. Complete the cut by underbucking the lower 2/3 of the log to
  meet the first cut. 

• If you buck a log on a slope, always stand
  on the uphill side of the log. Cut through
  the log while you maintain complete control
  of the product, then release the cutting
  pressure near the end of the cut while
  firmly gripping the rear handle and front
  handle.

To adjust the idle speed

Make sure that the air filter is clean and the air
filter cover is attached before you adjust the
idle speed.

1. Turn the idle adjustment screw, which is
   identified with a “T” mark, clockwise until
   the saw chain starts to turn.

2. Turn the idle adjustment screw, which is
   identified with a “T” mark, counterclockwise
   until the saw chain stops.

3. The idle speed must be below the speed
   when the saw chain starts to turn. The idle
   speed is correct when the engine operates
   smoothly in all positions.  Note:
   If the carburetor mixture adjustment setting is
   incorrect . Please speak to after sell service .

To clean the spark arrester screen
. Use a wire brush to clean the spark
arrester screen.

To do maintenance on the spark plug

CAUTION: Use the recommended
spark plug. Make sure that the
replacement is the same as the
manufacturer supplied part. An incorrect spark plug can cause
damage to the product.

1. If the product is hard to start or operate,
   examine the spark plug for unwanted
   materials. To decrease the risk of
   unwanted material on the spark plug
   electrodes:
   a) make sure that the idle speed is
   correctly adjusted.
   b) make sure that the fuel mixture is
   correct.
   c) make sure that the air filter is clean.

2. Clean the spark plug if it is dirty. Make sure
   that the electrode gap is correct.

3. Replace the spark plug when it is
   necessary.

To clean the air filter

1. Remove the air filter cover and remove the air filter.

2. Clean the air filter with warm soap water.
   Make sure that the air filter is dry before you install it.

3. Replace the air filter if it is too dirty to fully
   clean it. Always replace a damaged air filter.

To sharpen the saw chain
The cutter
The cutting part of the saw chain is called the
cutter and consists of a cutting tooth (A) and
the depth gauge (B). The cutters cutting depth
is determined by the difference in height
between the two, the depth gauge setting (C).

When you sharpen a cutting tooth there are
four important factors to remember:

• Filing angle.

• Cutting angle.

• File position.

• Round file diameter.

To sharpen the cutting teeth
Use a round file and a file gauge to sharpen
the cutting teeth.
information on the recommended dimension of

To sharpen the cutting teeth

se a round file and a file gauge to sharpen
the cutting teeth. information on the recommended dimension of
the file and gauge for the saw chain installedon your product.

1. Make sure that the saw chain is correctly
   tensioned. A slack chain will move
   sideways, making it more difficult to
   sharpen correctly.

2. File all teeth on one side first. File the
   cutting teeth from the inside face and
   reduce the pressure on the return stroke.

3. Turn the product over and file the teeth on
   the other side.

4. File all the teeth to the same length. When
   the length of the cutting teeth is reduced to
   4 mm (5/32″) the saw chain is worn out and
   must be replaced.

To adjust the depth gauge setting
Sharpen the cutting teeth before you adjust
the depth gauge setting. See To sharpen the
cutting teeth on page 25. When you sharpen
the cutting tooth (A), the depth gauge setting
(C) will decrease. To maintain optimal cutting
performance, the depth gauge (B) has to be
filed down to achieve the recommended depth
gauge setting.

Note: This recommendation assumes that the
length of the cutting teeth is not reduced
excessively.

Use a flat file and depth gauge tool to adjust
the depth gauge.

1. Put the depth gauge tool above the saw
   chain. Detailed information regarding how
   to use the depth gauge tool will be found
   on the package of the depth gauge tool.

2. Use the flat file to file off the tip of the depth
   gauge that protrudes through the depth
   gauge tool. The depth gauge setting is
   correct when you no longer feel resistance
   as you draw the file along the depth gauge tool.
