Bucking is to cut a log into lengths. Keep your body
balance. If it is possible, lift the log and hold it with
branches, logs or chock.
• When the log is held along the full length, cut it from
the top.
• When the log is held on one end,
1. Cut the first time 1/3 of the diameter from the
bottom.
2. Cut the second time from the top to complete the
bucking.
• When the log is held on two ends,
1. Cut the first time 1/3 of the diameter from the
top.
2. Cut the second time lower 2/3 from the bottom to
complete the bucking.
• When the log is on a slope,
1. Stand on the uphill side.
2. Control the chainsaw.
3. Hold the handles tightly.
4. Release the cut pressure near the end of the
cut.
NOTE
Do not let the chain touch the ground.
When bucking is complete,
1. Release the trigger.
2. Stop the chainsaw fully.
3. Move the chainsaw from tree to tree.
5 MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Do not let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
materials touch the plastic parts. Chemicals can
cause damage to the plastic, and make the plastic
unserviceable.
CAUTION
Do not use strong solvents or detergents on the plastic
housing or components.
WARNING
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
maintenance.
5.1 ADJUST THE CHAIN TENSION
Figure 2-7.
The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is
therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take
up the slack.
English
Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight
that you cannot pull it round freely by hand.
A slack chain may jump off and cause serious or even
fatal injury.
Wear protective gloves if you touch the chain, bar or
areas around the chain.
1. Stop the machine.
2. Loosen the lock nuts with the wrench.
It is not necessary to remove the chain cover to adjust
the chain tension.
3. Turn the chain adjustment screw clockwise to
increase the chain tension.
4. Turn the chain adjustment screw counterclockwise
to decrease the chain tension.
5. When the chain is at the wanted tension, tighten the
lock nuts.
6. Pull the chain in the middle of the guide bar at the
bottom away from the bar. The gap between the
chain guide and the guide bar should be between 3
mm and 4 mm.
5.2 SHARPEN THE CHAIN
Sharpen the chain if it is not easy for the chain to go into
the wood.
We recommend that your dealer, which has an electric
sharpener, perform important sharpening work.
Figure 16-19
1. Tensioning chain.
2. Sharpen the cutters corner with a 4.0 mm diameter
round file .
3. Sharpen the top plate, side plate and depth gauge
with a flat file.
4. File all the cutters to the specified angles and the
same length.
