_ :b.,Slop the.'saw if the_chain strikes a:foreign -
objecL inspect the unit and repair or

-€. Keep the chain out of dirt and sand. Even a
small amount of dirt will quickly dull a
chain and thus increase the possibility of

BEGII_I_CU'[TING WITH
THE BOTTOM OF THE
SAW FRAME AGAINST
THE LOG
Figure 29
Practice cutting a few small logs using the
following technique to get the "feel" of using
your saw before,you begin a major sawing
operation. " ' . . .
a.,Accelerate-the .engine to fu!!: throttle just
before entering the cut.
b. Begin cutting with the bottom of the saw
frame against the log. Figure 29.
c. Keep the engine at full throttie:.the entire time
you are cutting. ......
d. Allow the chain to cut for you; eXerf only light
downward pressure, if you force the cut,
damage to the bar, chain, or engine can
result.
e. Release the trigger as soon as the cut is com-
pleted, allowing the engine to idle. If you run
the saw at full throttle without a cutting load,
unnecessary wear will occur to the chain, bar,
and engine.
f. Stop the engine before setting the saw down
after cutting. .13
