a living tree. Make sure your footing is ﬁrm. Keep

feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet.

Follow directions below to trim a tree.

1. Make ﬁrst cut six inches from tree trunk on un-

derside of limb. Use top of guide bar to make

this cut. Cut 1/3 through diameter of limb (see

Figure 16).

2. Move two to four inches farther out on limb.

Make second cut from above limb. Continue cut

until you cut limb off.

3. Make third cut as close to tree trunk as possible

on underside of limb stub. Use top of guide bar to

make this cut. Cut 1/3 through diameter of stub.

4. Make fourth cut directly above third cut. Cut down

to meet third cut. This will remove limb stub.

damaged guide bar is unsafe. A worn or damaged guide

bar will damage chain. It will also make cutting harder.

2. Remove sawdust from guide bar groove periodi-

cally. Use putty knife or wire (see Figure 18).

3. Clean oil slots after each day of use.

4. Remove burrs from sides of guide bar. Use ﬂat

ﬁle to make side edges square.

are sharp. Use protective gloves when

handling chain.

SHARPENING SAW CHAIN

Keep chain sharp. Your saw will cut faster and more

safely. A dull chain will cause undue sprocket, guide

bar, chain, and motor wear. If you must force chain

into wood and cutting creates only sawdust with few

large chips, chain is dull.

Items Needed to Sharpen Chain

Purchase these items from your local dealer, hard-

ware store, or chain saw supplies outlet.

• 5/32" round ﬁle

•Depth gauge tool

• File guide

•Vise

• Medium sized ﬂat ﬁle

Sharpening Cutters

Use ﬁle guide for 30° ﬁling.

1. Adjust chain for proper tension (see Saw Chain

Tension Adjustment, pages 16 and 17).

2. Clamp guide bar in vise to hold saw steady.

Note:

Do not clamp chain.

3. Press 5/32" round ﬁle (attached to ﬁle guide) into

groove between top plate and depth gauge on

chain. File guide should rest on both top plate

and depth gauge (see Figure 19).

Note:

File at

midpoint of guide bar.
