Safety precautions for chain saw operators
While operating the chain saw please observe the
following rules:
a) Contact of the guide bar nose with any object
should be avoided.
b) Tip contact may cause the guide bar to move
suddenly upward and backward, which may
cause serious or fatal injury.
c) Always operate the chain saw with both hands.
WARNING!
Read and follow all safety precautions in the owner’s
manual. Failure to follow instructions could result in
serious injury. It is recommended to lend the chain
saw only to people who are experienced in working
with chain saws. Always hand over the Owner’s
and Safety Manual.
WARNING!
This chain saw is capable of severe kickback that
could result in serious injury to the operator. Do
not operate this chain saw unless you have ex-
traordinary cutting needs and experience in and
special training for dealing with kickback. Chain
saws with signicantly reduced kickback potential
are available.
WARNING!
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the
guide bar touches an object, or when the wood
closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
This contact may abruptly stop the saw chain and
in some cases may cause a lightning fast reverse
reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards
the user, or push the guide bar back towards the
operator. Kickback may cause you to lose control
of the saw.
As a chain saw user, you can take several steps to
reduce the risk of a kickback and potential injury.
A. With a basic understanding of kickback, you
can reduce or eliminate the element of sur-
prise. It is a sudden surprise that contributes
to accidents.
B. Keep a good rm grip on the saw with both
hands, your right hand on the rear grip and
your left hand on the tubular handle, when the
engine is running. Use a rm grip with thumbs
and ngers encircling the chain saw handles. A
rm grip can neutralize kickback and help you
maintain control of the saw. Don’t let go!
C. Make sure that the area in which you are cut
-
ting is free from obstructions. Do not let the
nose of the guide bar contact the log, branch,
or any other obstructions which could be hit
while you are operating the saw.
D. Do not overreach or cut above shoulder
height.
E. Follow manufacturer’s sharpening and main-
tenance instructions for the saw chain.
F. Only use replacement bars and chains speci-
ed by the manufacturer or the equivalent.
Additional safety precautions
The following additional safety precautions should be
observed by all users of chain saws:
1. Do not operate a chain saw when you are fati
-
gued.
2. Use safety footwear; snug-tting clothing; protec
-
tive gloves; and eye, hearing, and head protection
devices.
3. Use caution when handling fuel. Move the chain
saw at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling point
before starting the engine.
4. Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw
when starting or cutting with the chain saw. Keep
bystanders and animals out of the work area.
5. Do not start cutting until you have a clear work
area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path
from the falling tree.
6. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw
chain when the engine is running.
7. Before you start the engine, make sure that the
saw chain is not contacting anything.
8. Carry the chain saw with the engine stopped, the
guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and the mufer
away from your body.
9. Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged,
is improperly adjusted, or is not completely and
securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain
stops moving when the throttle control trigger is
released.
10. Shut off the engine before setting it down.
11. Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush
and saplings because slender material may catch
the saw chain and be whipped toward you or
pull you off balance.
12. When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert
for springback so that you will not be struck when
the tension on the wood bers is released.
13. Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel
mixture.
14. Operate the chain saw only in well-ventilated
areas.
15. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless you
have been specically trained to do so.
16. All chain saw service, other than the items listed
in the owner’s manual maintenance instructions,
should be performed by DOLMAR . (For example,
if improper tools are used to remove the ywheel
or if an improper tool is used to hold the ywheel
in order to remove the clutch structural damage to
the ywheel could occur and could subsequently
cause the ywheel to burst.)
17. When transporting your chain saw, use the chain
protection cover.
18. Low kickback bars and low kickback chains are
designed to reduce the risk of kickback injury. Ask
your DOLMAR dealer about these devices.

General Safety Precautions
The use of any chain saw may be hazardous. At full
throttle chain speed can reach 45 mph (20 m/s). It is
important that you read; fully understand and observe
the following safety precautions and warnings. Read
the Owner’s Manual and the safety instructions peri-
odically.
WARNING !
Reactive forces, including kickback, can be dan-
gerous. Careless or improper use of any chain saw
may cause serious or fatal injury.
Have your DOLMAR dealer show you how to ope-
rate your chain saw. Observe all applicable local
safety regulations, standards and ordinances.
WARNING!
Minors should never be allowed to use a chain
saw.
Bystanders, especially children and animals should
not be allowed in the area where a chain saw is
in use (g. 1).
Never let the saw run unattended.
Store it in a locked place away from children. Fill
the fuel tank to 7/8 th full (see storing the saw).
Do not lend your chain saw without this Owner’s
and Safety Manual. Be sure that anyone using your
saw understands the information given.
Proper use of a chain saw involves
1. the operator
2. the saw
3. the use of the saw.

WARNING !
Prolonged use of chain saws exposing the operator
to vibrations may produce Whitenger disease (Ray-
naud’s phenomenon). This phenomenon reduces
the hand’s ability to feel and regulate temperature,
produces numbness and burning sensations and
may cause nerve and circulation damage and
tissue necrosis.
All DOLMAR saws are therefore provided with an
antivibration system which is essential for those
using chain saws on a regular or sustained basis.
Antivibration systems do not guarantee that you
will not sustain Whitenger disesase, however, they
reduce this danger considerably. Nevertheless,
continual and regular users should observe their
hands and ngers and in case of any abnormal
symptoms, seek medical advice immediately.

Physical Condition
You must be in good physical condition and mental
health and not under the inuence of any substance
(drugs, alcohol), which might impair vision, dexterity
or judgment.
Always use two hands when
operating the chain saw!

WARNING !
Never modify a chain saw in any way. Only at-
tachments supplied by DOLMAR or expressly
approved by DOLMAR for use with the specic
saw are authorized.
WARNING !
Bow guide bars substantially increase the potential
for kickback and severe or fatal injury due to the
greater kickback zone of the bow design. Bow guide
bars are not recommended for use on DOLMAR
chain saws nor are they approved by the ANSI B
175.1-2000 chain saw safety standard.
The use of the saw
Transporting the chain saw
WARNING!
Always stop the engine before putting a chain
saw down or carrying it. Carrying a chain saw
with the en- gine running is extremely dangerous.
Accidental acceleration of the engine can cause
the chain to rotate.
Avoid touching the hot mufer.
By hand: When carrying your saw by hand, the
engine must be stopped and the saw must be in
the proper position.
The chain protection cover should be over the
chain and the guide bar must point backwards.
When carrying your saw the bar should be behind
you (g. 4).
By vehicle: When transporting in a vehicle, keep
chain and bar covered with the chain guard. Properly
secure your saw to prevent turnover, fuel spillage
and damage to the saw. Make sure the saw in not
exposed to heat or sparks.
Proper clothing
Clothing must be sturdy and snug-tting, but allow
complete freedom of movement. Avoid loose-tting
jackets, scarfs, neckties, jewelry, ared or cuffed pants,
or anything that could become entangled with the saw
or brush. Wear overalls or jeans with a reinforced cutting
resistant insert (g. 3).
Protect your hands with gloves when handling saw and
saw chain. Heavy-duty, nonslip gloves improve your
grip and protect your hands.
Wear protective helmet,
eye and ear protection
Good footing is most important in chain saw work.
Wear sturdy boots with nonslip soles. Steel-toed safety
boots are recommended.
Proper eye protection is a must. Non-fogging, vented
goggles and a face screen is recommended. Their
use reduces the risk of eye and facial injury.
Wear an approved safety hard hat to protect your
head. Chain saw noise may damage your hearing.
Always wear noise protection equipment (ear plugs
or ear muffs) to protect your hearing.
Continual and regular users should have their
hearing checked regularly.

Chain saw operating instructions
For assembly follow the procedure in the appropriate
section "Mounting Guide Bar and Chain" of this manual.
DOLMAR chain, guide bar and sprocket must match each
other (see the appropriate section in this manual).
WARNING!
Proper tension of the chain is extremely impor-
tant. In order to avoid false setting the tensioning
procedure must be followed as described in this
manual. Always make sure the hexagonal nut(s)
for the sprocket guard is (are) tightened securely
after tensioning the chain. Check chain tension once
more after having tightened the nuts and thereafter
at regular intervals (always before starting to work).
If the chain becomes loose while cutting, shut off
the engine and then tighten. Never try to tighten
the chain while the engine is running!
Fueling
Your DOLMAR saw uses on oil-gasoline mixture for
fuel (see chapter "Fuel" of this manual).
Wipe off any spilled fuel before starting your saw and
check for leakage.
Check for fuel leakage while refueling and during opera-
tion. If fuel or oil leakage is found, do not start or run
the engine until leak is xed and spilled fuel has been
wiped away. Clothing with fuel on it has to be changed
immediately (this is a danger to your life!).
Avoid skin contact with fuel. Never loosen or remove
the cap of the fuel tank while the engine is running.
Starting
Do not drop start. This method is very dangerous be-
cause you may lose control of the saw (g. 6).
WARNING!
Gasoline is an extremely ammable fuel. Use ex-
treme caution when handling gasoline or fuel mix.
Do not smoke or bring any sparks or ame near
the fuel (g. 5).
Fueling instructions
Fuel your chain saw in well ventilated areas or out-
doors. Always shut off the engine and allow it to cool
before refueling. Select bare ground for fueling and
move the chain saw at least 10 feet (3 m) from fueling
spot before starting the engine (g. 5a).
Place the chain saw on rm ground or other solid
surface in an open area. Maintain a good balance and
secure footing. Place your right foot through the rear
handle opening and rmly grasp the front handle with
your left hand (g. 6a).
Be absolutely sure that guide bar and chain are clear
of you or all other obstructions and objects, including
the ground, because when the engine starts in semi-
throttle position, engine speed will be fast enough for
the clutch to engage the sprocket and turn the chain
which may cause a kickback.
Never attempt to start the saw when the guide bar is
in a cut or kerf.
When you pull the starter grip, don’t wrap the starter
rope around your hands. Do not allow the grip to snap
back, but guide the starter rope slowly back to permit
the rope to rewind properly. Failure to follow this pro-
cedure may result in injury to hand or ngers and may
damage the starter mechanism.

Important adjustments
WARNING!
At correct idle speed, chain should not turn. For di-
rections to adjust idle speed, see the appropriate
section of this instruction manual.
Do not use a saw with incorrect idle speed adjust-
ment. Adjust the idle speed yourself according to
the appropriate section of this manual.
Have your DOLMAR dealer check your saw and
make proper adjustments or repairs.
Check the saw chain tension frequently, especially
just after installing a new chain. New chains may
stretch more during their initial use. A properly ad-
justed saw chain can be pulled freely around the
guide bar by hand without sagging. Always stop
the engine and wear gloves when checking or ad-
justing the chain tension.
Working conditions
Operate your chain saw only outdoors. Operate the saw
under good visibility and daylight conditions only.
WARNING!
Take extreme care in wet and freezing weather
(rain, snow, ice). Put off the work when the weather
is windy, stormy or rainfall is heavy. Clear the area
where you are working.
WARNING!
Avoid stumbling on obstacles such as stumps,
roots or rocks and watch out for holes or ditches.
Be extremely cautious when working on slopes or
uneven ground. There is increased danger of slip-
ping on freshly debarked logs.
Cutting instructions
Always hold the saw rmly with both hands when the
engine is running. Place your left hand on the tubular
handle and your right hand on grip and throttle lever.
Left-handers should follow these instructions too.
WARNING!
Do not operate your chain saw in semi-throttle
position. Cutting in this position does not permit
the operator proper control of the saw or chain
speed.
WARNING!
Never come too close to a rotating chain with your
hands or body.
WARNING!
Do not cut any material other than wood or
wooden objects.
Use your chain saw for cutting only. It is not de-
signed for prying or shoveling away limbs, roots
or other objects.
When sawing, make sure that the saw chain does
not touch any foreign materials such as rocks, nails
and the like (g. 8). Such objects may be ung
off, damage the saw chain or cause the saw to
kickback.
Wrap your ngers tightly around the handles, keeping
the handles cradled between your thumb and foren-
ger (g. 7). With your hands in this position, you can
best oppose and absorb the push, pull and kickback
forces of your saw without having it slip out of your
grip (see section of reactive forces). Make sure your
chain saw handle and grip are in good condition and
free of moisture, pitch, oil or grease.
Always start a cut with the chain running at full speed
and the spike bar in contact with the wood.
WARNING!
Never use the saw with one hand. You cannot
control reactive forces (see pages 10 to 12) and
may lose control of the saw.
10
9
10
11
12
Position the chain saw in such a way that your body is
clear of the cutting attachment whenever the engine
is running (g. 10).
Don’t put pressure on the saw when reaching the end
of a cut. The pressure may cause the bar and rotating
chain to pop out of the cut or kerf, go out of control
and strike the operator or some other object. If the
rotating chain strikes some other object a reactive
force (see pages 11 to 13 ) may cause the chain to
strike the operator.
Reactive forces during the cut, including kickback
WARNING!
Reactive forces, that may occur during any cut are
kickback, pushback and pull-in. Reactive forces
can be dangerous! In any chain saw, the powerful
force used to cut wood can be reversed (and work
against the operator).
If the rotating chain is suddenly stopped by con-
tact with any solid object like a log or branch or is
pinched, the reactive forces instantly occur. These
reactive forces may result in loss of control which
may, in turn, cause serious or fatal injury. An un-
derstanding of the causes of these reactive forces
may help you avoid loss of control.
The most common reactive forces are
- kickback,
- pushback,
- pull-in.
In order to keep control of your saw, always maintain
a rm foothold. Never work on a ladder, in a tree or on
any other insecure support. Never use the saw above
shoulder height (g. 9).
This reaction can occur in a fraction of a second and
under some circumstances, cause the guide bar and
chain to strike the operator with enough force to cause
severe or fatal injury. It may also occur during limbing. It
also occurs when the nose of the guide bar is pinched
unexpectedly, unintentionally contacts solid material
in the wood (g.12) or is incorrectly used to begin a
plunge or boring cut.
The greater the force of the kickback reaction, the
more difcult it becomes for the operator to control
the saw.
Kickback:
Kickback occurs when the upper quadrant of the bar
nose contacts a solid object in the wood or is pinched
(g. 11). The reaction of the cutting force of the chain
causes a rotational force of the chain saw in the direc
tion opposite to the chain movement, mainly in the plane
of the bar. This may ing the bar in an uncontrolled arc
towards the operator.
11
13
To avoid kickback
The best protection from personal-injury that may result
from kickback is to avoid kickback situations:
1. Hold the chain saw rmly with both hands and
maintain a secure grip.
2. Be aware of the location of the guide bar nose at
all times.
3. Never bring the nose of the guide bar in contact
with any object. Do not cut limbs with the nose of
the guide bar. Be especially careful with small,
tough limbs, small size brush and saplings which
may easily catch the chain.
4. Don’t overreach.
5. Don’t cut above shoulder height.
6. Begin cutting and continue at full throttle.
7. Cut only one log at a time.
8. Use extreme caution when re-entering a previous
cut.
9. Do not attempt plunge cuts (see page 14) if you are
not experienced with these cutting techniques.
10. Be alert for shifting of the log or other forces that
may cause the cut to close and pinch the chain.
11. Maintain saw chain properly. Cut with a correct-
ly sharpened, properly tensioned chain at all
times.
12. Stand to the side of the cutting path of the chain
saw.
Many factors inuence the occurence and force of
the kickback reaction. The type of bar and saw chain you
use is a factor in the force of the kickback reaction.
The speed of contact at which the cutter contacts
the object.
Kickback force increase with the rate of impact.
The contact angle between the nose of the bar
and the foreign object (g. 11).
Kickback is most pronounced in the upper quadrant
of the bar nose.
DOLMAR chain types are designed to reduce kickback
forces.
The depth gauges:
Improper lowering of the depth gauges also increases
the risk of a kickback.
Saw chain cutter sharpness:
WARNING!
A dull improperly sharpened chain may increase
the risk of kickback. Always cut with a properly
sharpened chain.
Devices for reducing the risk of kickback injury
DOLMAR have developed a special chain brake to
reduce the risk of kickbacks.
This chain brake increases the safety factor on the
job, e.g. when the saw suddenly bucks upwards the
chain stops rotating within a fraction of a second. A
deection guard on the disengaging lever of the chain
brake and a scoop rear handle ensure that the opera-
tor’s hands are fully protected at all times.
Kickback tendency increases as the radius or size of
the guide bar nose increases. DOLMAR have devel-
oped guide bars with small nose radius, to reduce the
kickback tendency.
WARNING!
No chain brake prevents kickback.
These brakes are designed only to stop the chain,
if activated.
To ensure a proper operation of the chain brake, it
must be properly maintained. Furthermore, there
must be a sufcient distance between the opera-
tor and the bar to ensure that the chain brake has
sufcient time to activate and stop the chain before
potential contact with the operator.

To avoid pushback
1. Be alert to forces or situations that may cause
material to pinch the top of the chain.
2. Do not cut more than one log at a time.
3. Do not twist the saw when withdrawing the bar
from a plunge cut or under buck cut (gures 25 to
27 and 33, pages 14 and 16), because the chain
can pinch.
Pull-in:
Pull-in occurs when the chain on the bottom of the bar
is suddenly stopped. The chain on the bottom of the
bar stops when it is pinched, caught or encounters a
foreign object in the wood (see g. 15). The reaction of
the chain pulls the saw forward, causing the operator
to lose control.
Pull-in frequently occurs when the spike bar of the
saw is not held securely against the tree or limb and
when the chain is not rotating at full speed before it
contacts the wood.
WARNING!
Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush
and saplings which may easily catch the chain and
pull you off balance.
To avoid pull-in
1. Always start a cut with the chain rotating at full speed
and the spike bar in contact with the wood.
2. Pull-in may also be prevented by using plastic
wedges to open the kerf or cut.
Cutting techniques
Felling
Felling is cutting down a tree.
Before felling a tree, consider carefully all conditions
which may affect the direction of fall, including:
The intended direction of the fall.
The neutral lean of the tree.
Any unusually heavy limb structure.
Surrounding trees and obstacles.
The wind direction and speed.
WARNING!
Always observe the general condition of the tree.
Look for decay and rot in the trunk. If it is rotted
inside, it could snap and fall toward the operator
while being cut.
Also look for broken or dead branches which could
vibrate loose and fall on the operator. When fell-
ing on a slope, the operator should stand on the
up-hill side.
Pushback:
Pushback occurs when the chain on the top of the
bar is suddenly stopped when it is pinched, caught
or encounters a foreign object in the wood. The reac-
tion of the chain drives the saw straight back toward
the operator causing loss of saw control. Pushback
fre-quently occurs when the top of the bar is used for
cutting (g. 14).
When felling in the vicinity of roads, railways and
power lines, etc., take extra precautions (see g.
16). Inform the police, utility company or railway
authority before beginning to cut.

Felling instructions:
First clear the tree base and work area from inter-

When felling, maintain a distance of at least 2 1/2 tree
lengths from the nearest person (see g. 17).
Note:

call.
axe (see g. 18).
Then, establish a path of escape and remove all obsta-
cles. This path should be opposite to the planned
direction of the fall of the tree and at a 45° angle (g.
19). An alternate path must also be selected. Place
all tools and equipment a safe distance away from the
tree, but not on the escape path.
Then, determine the placement of the felling notch
(g. 21). The felling notch when properly placed de-
termines the direction in which the tree will fall. It is
made perpendicular to the line of fall and should be as
close to the ground as possible. Cut the felling notch
to a depth of about one-fth to one-fourth of the trunk
diameter (g. 22). It should be in no case higher than
it is deep. Make the felling notch very carefully.
If the tree has large buttress roots, cut into the largest
buttresses vertically rst (horizontally next) and remove
(g. 20).

Begin the felling cut slighty higher than the felling notch
and on the opposite side of the tree (g. 22). Then cut
horizontally through towards the felling notch. Apply
the chain saw with its spikes directly behind the uncut
portion of wood and cut toward the notch (g. 23).
Leave approximately 1/10 of the tree diameter uncut!
This is the hinge (g. 23). Do not cut through the hinge
because you could lose control of the direction of the
fall. Drive wedges into the felling cut where necessary
to control the direction of the fall. Wedges should be of
wood, light alloy or plastic - never of steel, which can
cause kickback and damage to the chain.
Always keep to the side of the falling tree. When the
tree starts to fall, shut off the engine, withdraw the
bar and walk away on the pre-planned escape path.
Watch out for falling limbs.
WARNING!
Be extremely careful with partially fallen trees which
are poorly supported.
When the tree hangs or for some other reason does
not fall completely, set the saw aside and pull the
tree down with a cable winch, block and tackle or
tractor. If you try to cut it down with your saw, you
may be injured.
Sectioning Method
WARNING!
Felling a tree that has a diameter greater than the
length of the guide bar requires use of either the
sectioning or plunge-cut method. These methods
are extremely dangerous because they involve
the use of the nose of the guide bar and can result
in kickback. Only properly trained professionals
should attempt these techniques.
For the sectioning method (g. 24) make the rst cut
with the guide bar fanning in toward the hinge. Then,
using the bumper spike as a pivot, reposition the saw
for the next cut. Avoid repositioning the saw more than
necessary. When repositioning for the next cut, keep
the guide bar fully engaged in the kerf to keep the
felling cut straight. If the saw begins to pinch, insert
a wedge to open the cut. On the last cut, do not cut
the hinge.
Plunge-Cut Method
Timber having a diameter more than twice the length
of the guide bar reauires the use of the plunge-cut
method before making the felling cut.
First, cut a large, wide notch. Make a plunge cut in the
center of the notch.
The plunge cut is made with the guide bar nose. Begin
the plunge cut by applying the lower portion of the
guide bar nose to the tree at an angle (g. 25). Cut until
depth of the kerf is about the same as the width of the
guide bar (g. 26). 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 (g. 27).
Enlarge the plunge cut as shown in illustration (g. 28).

WARNING!
There is an extreme danger of kickback at this
point. Extra caution must be taken to maintain
control of the saw. To make the felling cut, follow
the sectioning method described previously (g.
29). If you are inexperienced with a chain saw
plunge-cutting should not be attempted. Seek the
help of a professional.
Limbing
Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen tree.
WARNING!
There is an extreme danger of kickback during the
limbing operation. Do not work with the nose of the
bar. Be extremely cautious and avoid contacting
the log or other limbs with the nose of the guide
bar. Do not stand on a log while limbing it - you
may slip or the log may roll.
Start limbing by leaving the lower limbs to support
the log off the ground (g. 30). Always cut from
the top of the limb. Do not underbuck freely hang-
ing limbs. A pinch may result or the limb may fall,
causing loss of control. If a pinch occurs, stop the
engine and remove the saw, by lifting the limb.
WARNING!
Be extremely cautious when cutting limbs under
tension. The limbs could spring back toward the
operator and cause loss of control of the saw or
injury to the operator.
Bucking
Bucking is cutting a log into sections.
WARNING!
1. When bucking, do not stand on the log. Make
sure the log will not roll down-hill. If on a slope,
stand on the up-hill side of the log (see g. 31).
Watch out for rolling logs.
WARNING!
2. Cut only one log at a time.
WARNING!
3. Shattered wood should be cut very carefully.
Sharp slivers of wood may be caught and ung
in the direction of the operator of the saw.
WARNING!
4. When cutting small logs, use a sawhorse (g.
32). Never permit another person to hold the
log. Never hold the log with your leg or foot.

Maintenance and Repair
Never operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly
adjusted or not completely or securely assembled.
Follow the maintenance and repair instructions in the
appropriate section of this manual.
WARNING !
Always stop the engine and make sure that the chain
is stopped before commencing any maintenance
or repair work or cleaning the saw. Do not attempt
any maintenance or repair work not described in
this manual. Have such work performed by your
DOLMAR service shop only.
Maintaining and storing the saw
Keep the chain, bar and sprocket clean and lubricated;
replace worn sprockets or chains.
Keep the chain sharp. You can spot a dull chain when
easy-to-cut wood becomes hard to cut and burn marks
appear on the wood.
Keep the chain at proper tension. Tighten all nuts, bolts
and screws except the carburetor adjustment screws
after each use.
Keep spark plug and wire connection tight and
clean.
Store saws in a high or locked place, away from chil-
dren.
WARNING!
5. Logs under strain require special attention to
prevent the saw from pinching. The rst cut
is made on the compression side to relieve the
stress on the log (see g. 33, 34). The bucking
cut is then made as shown. If the saw pinches,
stop the engine and remove it from the log.
WARNING!
6. Only properly trained professionals should work
in an area where the logs, limbs and roots are
tangled (i. e. a blowdown area, g. 35). Working
in blowdown areas is extremely hazardous.
WARNING!
7. Drag the logs into a clear area before cutting.
Pull out exposed and cleared logs rst.
