STIHL MS 261C Q Chainsaw Owners Manual

English
If you are inexperienced with a chain
saw, plunge-cutting should not be
attempted. Seek the help of a
professional.
Do not stand on a log while limbing it –
you may slip or the log may roll.
Warning!
Start limbing by leaving the lower limbs
to support the log off the ground. When
underbucking freely hanging limbs, a
pinch may result or the limb may fall,
causing loss of control. If a pinch occurs,
stop the engine and remove the saw by
lifting the limb.
When bucking, do not stand on the log.
Make sure the log will not roll downhill. If
on a slope, stand on the uphill side of
the log. Watch out for rolling logs.
Warning!
In order to reduce the risk of personal
injury, never stand directly behind the
tree when it is about to fall, since part of
the trunk may split and come back
towards the operator (barber-chairing),
or the tree may jump backwards off the
stump. Always keep to the side of the
falling tree. When the tree starts to fall,
withdraw the bar, shut off the engine
and walk away on the preplanned
Cut only one log at a time.
Shattered wood should be cut very
carefully. Sharp slivers of wood may be
caught and flung in the direction of the
operator of the saw.
Warning!
Be extremely cautious when cutting
limbs or logs under tension (spring
poles). The limbs or logs could spring
back toward the operator and cause
loss of control of the saw and severe or
fatal injury to the operator.
escape path. Watch out for falling limbs.
Bucking
Warning!
Be extremely careful with partially fallen
trees which are poorly supported. When
the tree hangs or for some other reason
does not fall completely, set the saw
aside and pull the tree down with a
cable winch, block and tackle or tractor.
If you try to cut it down with your saw,
you may be injured.
Limbing
Limbing is removing the branches from a
fallen tree.
When cutting small logs, place log
through "V" – shaped supports on top of
a sawhorse. Never permit another
person to hold the log. Never hold the
log with your leg or foot.
Warning!
There is an extreme danger of kickback
during the limbing operation. Do not
work with the nose of the bar. Be
extremely cautious and avoid contact-
ing the log or other limbs with the nose
of the guide bar.
Bucking is cutting a log into sections.
