9 Maintenance, Repair and Storage
Use the plunge-cut method for making the felling back cut on
trees with a diameter more than twice the effective cutting
length of the guide bar.
► After creating a large felling notch, begin the plunge cut by
applying the lower portion of the guide bar nose to the tree
at an angle. Cut until the depth of the kerf is about the
same as the width of the guide bar. Next, align the saw in
the direction in which the recess is to be cut.
► With the saw at full throttle, insert the guide bar in the
trunk.
► Enlarge the plunge cut as illustrated in the illustration
above.
► Follow the sectioning method described previously to
make the felling back cut.

￭ To reduce the risk of personal injury and property damage
from unintentional starting:
– Shut off the engine and engage the chain brake by
moving the front hand guard forward before
inspecting the chain saw or carrying out any
cleaning, maintenance or repair work. Always shut
off the engine before storing the chain saw, and any
other time it is not in use.
￭ Proper maintenance will help maintain cutting
performance and reduce the risk of personal injury caused
by chain derailment and reactive forces.
– Wear gloves when handling the saw chain.
– Keep the chain, guide bar and sprocket clean.
– Replace the chain and guide bar when they become
worn or damaged.
