Continuous operation with the brake engaged will generate heat from the clutch and may cause trouble. • At machine inspection prior to each job, check the operating condition of the brake following the steps. •When the brake operates, don’t put hands near the yellow cone pops up. 1. Start the engine and grasp the handle securely with both hands. 2. Pulling the throttle lever to maintain the chain operation, push the brake lever (left-hand guard) down toward the front using the back of your left hand. 3. When the brake operates and the chain is stopped, release the throttle lever. 4. Release the brake. Release Activate the brake. ¦ STOPPING THE ENGINE 1. Release the throttle lever to allow the engine to idle for a few minutes. 2. Set the switch to the “O” (STOP) position. Switch G B WARNING • Before proceeding to your job, read the section “For Safe Operation”. It is recommended to first practice sawing easy logs. This also helps you get accustomed to your unit. • Always follow the safety regulations. The chain saw must only be used for cutting wood. It is forbidden to cut other types of material. Vibrations and kickback vary with different materials and the requirements of the safety regulations would not be respected. Do not use the chain saw as a lever for lifting, moving or splitting objects. Do not lock it over fixed stands. It is forbidden to hitch tools or applications to the PTO other than those specified by the manufacturer. • It is not necessary to force the saw into the cut. Apply only light pressure while running the engine at full throttle. • When the saw chain is caught in the cut, do not attempt to pull it out by force, but use a wedge or a lever to open the way. ¦ GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK GB-11 G2000T • This saw is equipped with a chain brake that will stop the chain. You must check the chain brake operation before each usage by running the saw at full the throttle for I -2 seconds and pushing the front hand guard forward. The chain should stop immediately with the engine at full speed. If the chain is slow to stop or does not stop, replace the brake band and clutch drum before use. • It is extremely important that the chain brake be checked for proper operation before each use and that the chain be sharp in order to maintain the kickback safety level of this saw. Removal of the safety devices, inadequate maintenance, or incorrect replacement of the bar or chain may increase the risk ot serious personal injury. ¦ FELLING A TREE Felling direction Notch cut Felling cut 1. Decide the felling direction considering the wind, lean of the tree, location of heavy branches, ease of completing the task after felling and other factors. 2. While clearing the area around the tree, arrange a good foothold and retreat path. 3. Make a notch cut one-third of the way into the tree on the felling side. 4. Make a felling cut from the opposite side of the notch and at a level slightly higher than the bottom of the notch. A log lying on the ground Saw down halfway, then roll the log over and cut from the opposite side. A log hanging off the ground In area A, saw up from the bottom one-third and finish by sawing down from the top. In area B, saw down from the top one-third and finish by sawing up from the bottom. Cutting the limbs of Fallen Tree First check to which side the limb is bent. Then make the initial cut from the bent side and finish by sawing from the opposite side. WARNING Be alert to the springing back of a cut limb. WARNING When you fell a tree, be sure to warn neighboring workers of the danger. Bucking and Limbing WARNING • Always ensure your foothold. Do not stand on the log. • Be alert to the rolling over of a cut log. Especially when working on a slope, stand on the uphill side of the log. • Follow the instructions in “For Safe Operation” to avoid kickback of the saw. Before starting work, check the direction of bending force inside the log to be cut. Always finish cutting from the opposite side of the bending direction to prevent the guide bar from being caught in the cut. Pruning of Standing Tree Cut up from the bottom, finish down from the top. WARNING • Do not use an unstable foothold or ladder. • Do not overreach. • Do not cut above shoulder height. • Always use both your hands to hold the saw. GB-12 G2000T 7. Maintenance WARNING Before cleaning, the inspecting or repairing the unit, make sure that engine has stopped and is cool. Disconnect the spark plug to prevent accidental starting. ¦ MAINTENANCE AFTER EACH USE 1. Air filter Lift the cleaner cover with push the corner of cleaner cover to release the Hook. Then clean up the filter elements with air blaw or take off the filter elements and tap off attached sawdust. When they are extremely dirty, shakewash with gasoline. Dry them completely before reinstalling. Hook Air filter 2. Oiling port Dismount the guide bar and check the oiling port for clogging. Oiling port 3. Guide bar When the guide bar is dismounted, remove sawdust in the bar groove...
