examples of 50:1 fuel to oil mix

quantities.

4. Place the saw on a hard surface with

the fuel cap up and wipe any chips

or debris from around the fuel cap.

Oil Requirements

䡵 When available, use Shindaiwa

Premium bar & chain oil.

䡵 When Shindaiwa oil is not available,

use a premium 30-weight oil

specifically blended for bar & chain

lubrication.

䡵 For cold weather operation, bar oil

may be thinned by mixing with

clean kerosene at a ratio of 1:1.

Filling the Oil Reservoir

䡵 Filling the Oil Reservoir Place the

saw on its side (clutch cover

down), and wipe any chips or

debris from around the oil cap.

䡵 Remove the oil cap at the front of

the saw.

䡵 Fill the oil reservoir with bar &

chain oil, and replace the cap.

䡵 Wipe spilled oil from handles and

controls before starting the saw.

Bar Oil/Filling With Oil

CAUTION!

Proper lubrication is critical to

the performance and service life

of your saw's oil pump, guide

bar, and saw chain! Always use

a high quality lubricating oil

designed for saw chain lubrica-

tion! Never use dirty or re-

claimed oil!

OPERATION

Bucking

WARNING!

Always cut downed timber from the uphill side of the tree!

Downed timber may shift or roll unpredictably during cutting or

handling. Be alert for potential injury from rolling or shifting logs!

CHN-12

If the log is well supported, start your

cut from the top of the log. Keeping

the guide bar parallel to the ground,

cut straight down but do not allow the

saw to cut into the ground.

NOTE:

Cutting downed timber, or “bucking,”

increases the possibility of the wood

settling and pinching the guide bar.

Driving one or more soft plastic or

wooden bucking wedges can help

prevent bar-pinching during a cut.

Use two cuts when bucking the

outboard end of an unsupported log.

Your first cut should be an under-

buck. Cut the underbuck about 1/3

the diameter of the tree, then move to

the top of the log and finish the cut by

bucking down (overbucking) to the

first cut.

CHN-13

First Cut (underbuck), about

1/3 tree diameter

First Cut

Second Cut

Second Cut (overbuck)

Limbing a standing tree is usually

accomplished in the same manner as

bucking, with a third and final cut used

to remove the remaining stub of the

limb.

WARNING!

Do not overreach or

attempt to cut above

shoulder height!

NOTE:

When cutting unsupported logs or

limbs, starting with an underbuck cut

will minimize the possibility of the

wood splitting during the bucking cut.

Use two cuts when bucking near the

inboard end of an unsupported log.

■ Make the first cut as an underbuck

about 1/3 the diameter of the log.

■ Finish the job from above with an

overbuck joining the first cut.
