OPERATION DCS-2500T

Whether a handsaw or a chainsaw is used to free a trapped saw, the
release cuts should always be outboard (toward the tips of the branch), in
order to prevent the saw being taken with the section and further
complicating the situation.
General Cutting Instructions - Ground Usage
Do not let the nose or tip of the guide bar touch anything while
unit is running to avoid kickback.
General
In all circumstances the operation
of the chainsaw is a one-man job.
It is difficult at times to take care for
your own safety, so don’t assume
the responsibility for a helper as
well. After you have learned the
basic techniques of using the saw,
your best aid will be your own good
common sense.
The accepted way to hold the saw
is to stand to the left of the saw
with your left hand on the front
handle and your right hand on the
rear handle so you can operate the
trigger switch with your right index
finger. Before attempting to fell a
tree, cut some small logs or limbs.
Become thoroughly familiar with
the controls and the responses of the saw.
Start the unit, see that it is running
properly. Squeeze the trigger
switch to open the throttle wide
open and start the cut. If the chain
is properly sharpened, the cutting
should be relatively effortless. It is
not necessary to press down hard
to make the saw cut.
