Makita 5016N8 Chainsaw User Manual


 
When bucking on
a
slope, always stand on
the uphill side of the log,
as
shown in Fig.
22.
When ”cutting through”, to maintain
complete control, release
the
cutting pres-
sure near the end of the cut without re-
laxing 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 tree to tree.
1
log
may
roll.
