of the chain saw in unexpected
situations.
3. Only use replacement bars
and chains specified by
the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement bars and chains may
cause chain breakage and/or
kickback.
4. Follow the manufacturer's
sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height
can lead to increased kickback.
Additional chain saw safety
warnings
1. We recommend the use of a
residual current device with a
tripping current of 30 mA or less.
2. Position the cord and extension
cord, so that it will not be caught
on branches and the like, during
cutting.
3. We recommend that the first-
time users should, as a minimum
practice, cutting logs on a saw-
horse or cradle.
Felling a tree
1. When bucking
operations are being performed by
two or more persons at the same
time, the felling operations should
be separated from the bucking

operation by a distance of at least
twice the height of the tree being
felled. Trees should not be felled
in a manner that would endanger
any person, strike any utility line or
cause any property damage. If the
tree does make contact with any
utility line, the company should be
notified immediately.
2. The product operator should keep
on the uphill side of the terrain
as the tree is likely to roll or slide
downhill after it is felled.
3. An escape path should be planned
and cleared as necessary before
cuts are started. The escape path
should extend back and diagonally
to the rear of the expected line of
fall .
4. Before felling is started, consider
the natural lean of the tree, the
location of larger branches and the
wind direction to judge which way
the tree will fall.
5. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark,
nails, staples and wire from the
tree.
Notching undercut
Make the notch 1/3 the diameter
of the tree, perpendicular to the
direction of falls. Make the lower
horizontal notching cut first. This
will help to avoid pinching either the
