■ LOGGING AND LIMBING
1. Always ensure your foothold as well as
stability of the tree.
2. Be alert to the rolling over of a cut log.
3. Read the instructions in “For safe operation”
to avoid kickback of the saw.
Before starting work, check the direction of bending
force inside the log to be cut. Always finish cutting
from the opposite side of bending direction to
prevent the guide bar from being caught in the
cutaway.
● Cutting an unpillowed log
Saw down halfway, then roll the log over and cut
from the opposite side. (SA3)
● Cutting a pillowed log
In the area A in the picture right above, saw up
from the bottom one-third and finish by sawing
down from the top. In the area B, saw down from
the top one-third and finish by sawing up from the
bottom. (SA4)
● Limbing a felled tree
Be alert to the spring back of a cut limb.
First check which way the limb is bent. Then make
a shallow cut into the compressed side to prevent
the limb from being torn. Cut through from the
tensed side. (SA5)
