To cut on the push stroke is when you cut with the
top of the guide bar. The saw chain pushes the
product in the direction of the operator.
WARNING: Be careful when you cut on
the push stroke. If the saw chain gets
trapped in the trunk, the product can be
pushed at you. You must prevent this
force or there is a risk that the kickback
zone of the guide bar touches the tree.
This will lead to a kickback.
1. Put the trunk on a saw horse or runners.

WARNING: Do not try to cut trunks in a
pile. That increases the risk of kickback
and can result in serious injury or death.
2. Cut the trunks one by one.
3. Remove the cut pieces from the cutting area.
WARNING: The kickback risk increases
if you keep cutting pieces in the cutting
area. It is also a risk that you do not
keep your balance during operation.
