PRUNING AND DEBRANCHING
1. Observe all safety precautions.
2. Use both hands. Keep a rm grip.
3. Be alert for kickback. Do not allow the tip of the bar
to touch anything while the chain is in motion.
4. Do not cut overhead. Keep the saw below chest lev-
el. The chain is too close to your face in this position.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
If the saw is to used during cold weather, preheat the
hydraulic uid at low engine speed. When using the
normally recommended oils, oil should be at or above
50 °F/10 °C (400 ssu/ 82 centistokes) before use.
Damage to the hydraulic system or saw can result from
use with uid that is too viscous or thick.
Cutting frozen wood causes the cutters to wear, crack
and break at the back rivet hole unless proper precau-
tions are taken. To extend chain life when cutting in cold
weather:
1. Be sure the oiler is working.
2. Keep the chain tensioned and check often.
3. Keep the cutters properly sharpened. Touch up at
least every hour. Never force a dull chain to cut.
4. Clean out the bar groove and keep the oil hole open.
Turn the bar over to equalize wear on the rails.
5. Always install a new sprocket with a new chain.
