• Rinse with clean water and dry metal surfaces.

• Apply a light coating of engine or bar and chain oil to metal parts after they

are cleaned.

• Install and properly tension guide bar and chain. Run engine for one minute

alternating engine speed between full throttle for 5 seconds and idle for 5

seconds to coat metal parts with additional protective chain oil.

◆ Do not run a chainsaw not under cutting load at wide open

throttle longer than 5 seconds or engine damage may occur.

◆ Keep chain properly tensioned during operation to prevent the

chain from jumping out of the guide bar rail slot and damaging

metal engine parts.

Felling The Tree

A falling tree can seriously damage anything it may

hit - a car, a house, a fence, a power line, or another

tree. There are ways to make a tree fall where you

want it, so first decide where that is!

Before cutting, clear the area around the

tree. You will need good footing while

working and you should be able to work

the saw without hitting any obstacles.

Next, select a path of retreat. When the

tree begins to fall you should retreat away

from the direction of fall at a 45-degree

angle and at least 3 m (10 feet) from the

trunk to avoid the trunk kicking back over

the stump.
