WARNING: Recommend that first time users should
practice cutting on a saw horse.
Cutting a felled tree or log into lengths. How you should cut
depends on how the log is supported. Use a saw horse (see
Figure S) whenever possible.

•
Always start a cut with the chain running at full speed.
•
Place the bottom spike
area of the initial cut as shown in Figure T.
•
Turn the chain saw on then rotate the chain and bar
down into the tree, using the spike as a hinge.
•
Once the chain saw gets to a 45 degree angle, level
the chain saw again and repeat steps until you cut
fully through.
•
When the tree is supported along its entire length, make
a cut from the top (overbuck), but avoid cutting the
earth as this will dull your saw quickly.

overbucking to meet the first cut.

When on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the
log. When "cutting through", to maintain complete
control reduce the cutting pressure near the end of the
cut without relaxing your grip on the chain saw handles.
Don't let the chain contact the ground. After completing
the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you move
the chain saw. Always stop the motor before moving
from cut to cut.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Do not
use solvents to clean the plastic housing of the saw. Never
let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of
the tool into a liquid.
iMPORTAnT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, maintenance and adjustment should be performed
by a D
WALT authorized service center, always using
e
identical replacement parts.
Regular maintenance ensures a long effective life for your
chain saw.
Chain and Bar
After every few hours of use, remove the sprocket cover,
guide bar and chain and clean thoroughly using a soft
bristle brush. Ensure oiling hole on bar is clear of debris.
When replacing dull chains with sharp chains it is good
practice to flip the chain bar from bottom to top.
Saw Chain Sharpening
CAUTION: Sharp chain. Always wear protective
gloves when handling the chain. The chain is sharp
and can cut you when it is not running.
