it is recommended to raise and support the
trunk using branches, logs or blocks of wood.
It is easier to saw a log using the
spiked bumper (Fig. 1.I):
1. Plant the spiked bumper into the log and use
it as a pivot. Cut with an arched motion to
make the bar penetrate the wood (Fig. 18);
2. Repeat several times if necessary, changing
the point where you plant the spiked bumper.
• Trunk lying on the ground
When the entire trunk is lying on the
ground, it is bucked from the top
down (overbucking) (Fig. 19.A).
– Cut up to half the diameter, roll the log
over and finish sawing on the other side.
• Trunk resting on one end only
When the trunk is resting on one end only:
– saw through 1/3 of the diameter from the
bottom up (underbucking) (Fig. 20.A);
– then perform the final cut, overbucking
to reach the first cut (Fig. 20.B).
• Trunk resting on both ends
When the trunk is resting on both ends:
– saw through 1/3 of the diameter from the
top down (overbucking) (Fig. 21.A);
– then perform the final cut, underbucking the
lower 2/3 to reach the first cut (Fig. 21.B).
• Sloping trunk
Always stand uphill when bucking
a sloping trunk (Fig. 22).
During the operation, to maintain control when
the cut is almost complete, reduce the bucking
pressure without removing removing your
hands from the machine hand grips. Take all
necessary precautions to prevent the machine
from coming into contact with the ground.

6.5 STOP

To stop the machine:
• Release the throttle trigger lever (Fig. 9.A).
After releasing the throttle
trigger lever it takes a few seconds
for the toothed chain to stop.
Always stop the machine:
– when moving between work areas.
Do not keep your finger on the throttle
lock button when moving the machine to
avoid accidentally enabling the machine.

6.6 AFTER USE

1. Remove the battery from its housing
and recharge it (par. 7.2.2).
2. Mount the bar cover.
3. Allow the motor to cool before
storing in an enclosed space.
4. Loosen the tension adjuster knob (Fig.
7.C) to reduce the chain tension.
5. Carefully remove any dust and debris
and remove all traces of sawdust or oil
deposits from the chain. (par. 7.4).
6. Check there are no loose or damaged
components. If necessary, replace the
damaged components and tighten
any screws and loose bolts.
IMPORTANT Always remove the battery
(par. 7.2.2) and fit the blade guard whenever
the machine is unused or left unattended.
