Zenoah G3000 - Manual (Page 13)

• Before proceeding to your job, read “For Safe
Operation” section. It is recommended to first
practice sawing easy logs. This also helps you
get accustomed to your unit.
• It is not necessary to force the saw into the cut.
Apply only light pressure while running the
engine at full throttle.
• Racing the engine with the chain seized in a
cutaway can damage the clutch system. When
the saw chain is caught in the cut, do not
attempt to pull it out by force, but use a wedge or
a lever to open the cut.
■ TO AVOID KICKBACK (SA1)
• Hold the chain saw firmly with both hands.
• Do not overrach.
• Do not let the nose of the guide bar contact a
log, branch, ground or any other obstruction.
• Cut at high engine speeds.
• Don’t cut above shoulder height.
• Follow manufacturer’s sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
■ FELLING A TREE (SA2)
When you fell a tree, be sure to warn your
neighboring workers of the danger.
1. Decide the felling direction considering the wind,
Iean of the tree, location of heavy branches,
ease of job after felling, and other factors .
2. While clearing the area around the tree, arrange
a good foothold and retreat path.
3. Make a notch cut one-third of the way into the
tree on the felling side.
4. Make a felling cut from the opposite side of the
notch and at a level slightly higher than the
bottom of the notch.
