8 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 MAKITA dealer check your [...]

9 Position the chain saw in such a way that your body is clear of the cutting attachment whenever the engine is running (fig. 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 r[...]

10 Many factors influence 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 (fig.[...]

11 16 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 (figures 25 to 27 and 33, pages 13 and 14), because the chain can pinch. Pull-in: Pull-in occurs when the c[...]

When felling, maintain a distance of at least 2 1/2 tree lengths from the nearest person (see fig. 17) . Note: The noise of your engine may drown any warning call. Felling instructi[...]

13 Begin the felling cut slighty higher than the felling notch and on the opposite side of the tree (fig. 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 (fig. 23). Leave approximately 1/10 of the tree diameter uncut! This is the hin[...]

14 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 (fig. 29). If you are inexperienced with a chain saw plunge-cutting should not be attempted. Seek the help of a professional. Limbing Limbing is remo[...]
