Some material may adversely affect the housing of your chainsaw.
(Example: palm tree acid, fertilizer etc.) To avoid housing deterioration
carefully remove all packed saw dust around sprocket and guide bar area
and wash with water.
Felling a Tree
Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have an understanding of
the risks and how to avoid them. Serious injury could occur to
the operator or bystanders while felling a 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.
