„

Start the machine: Press the Safety 

lock-off button, and then press the 

switch trigger.

STOPPING OPERATION

„

Release the switch trigger to stop the 

top handle saw.

OPERATING THE CHAIN BRAKE 

See figure 22

Check the operating condition of the chain 

brake prior to each use.

„

Engage the chain brake by rotating 

your left hand around the front handle, 

allowing the back of your hand to 

push the chain brake lever/hand 

guard toward the bar while the chain 

is rotating rapidly. Be sure to maintain 

both hands on the saw handles at all 

times.

„

Reset the chain brake back into the 

RUN position by grasping the top of 

the  chain brake lever/hand guard and 

pulling toward the front handle.

WARNING

If the chain brake do not stop the chain 

immediately, or if the chain brake will 

not stay in the run position without as-

sistance, take the saw to an authorized 

service center for repair prior to use.

USING THE TOP HANDLE SAW

Always be sure of your footing and hold the 

top handle saw firmly with both hands while 

the 

motor is running.

BASIC FELLING, LIMBING, AND CROSS-

CUTTING TECHNIQUES

See figure 9

FELLING A TREE

When bucking and felling operations are  

being performed by two or more persons at 

the same time, the felling operation should 

be separated from the bucking operation by 

a distance of at least twice the height of the  

tree beingfelled.

Trees should not be felled in a manner that 

would endanger any person, strike any util-

ity line or cause any property damage.If the 

tree does make contact with any utility line, 

the  utility  company  should  be  notified  im

-

mediately. The top handle saw operator 

should keep on the uphill side of the terrain 

as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill 

after it is felled. 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. 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. Remove dirt, stones, loose 

bark, nails, and staples from the tree.

NOTCHING UNDERCUT

 (A NOTCH CUT 

IN A TREE TO DIRECT THE FALL) 

See 

Figure 10

Make the notch 1/3 in diameter of the tree, 

perpendicular to the direction of falls. Make 

the  lower  horizontal  notching  cut  first,  this 

will help to avoid pinching of either the saw

chain or the guide bar when the second 

notch is being made.

FELLING BACK CUT 

(THE FINAL CUT 

IN A TREE FELLING OPERATION, MADE 

ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE TREE 

FROM THE NOTCHING UNDERCUT)

See Figure 10

Make the felling back cut at least 50mm

higher than the horizontal notching cut. 

Keep the felling back cut parallel to the hor-

izontal notching cut. Make the felling back 

cut so as to leave enough wood to act as a 

hinge. The hinge wood keeps the tree from 

twisting and falling in the wrong direction. 

Do not cut through the hinge.

As the felling cut gets close to the hinge, 

the tree should begin to fall. If there is any 

chance that the tree may not fall in the de-

sired direction or it may rock back and bind 

the saw chain, stop cutting before the fell-

ing back cut is complete and use wedges 

of wood, plastic or aluminium to open the
