Basic working
technique
Warning!
given here does not replace
the extensive training and experi-
ence of a specialist.
Warning! Avoid any work for
which you are not adequate-
ly qualified! Imprudent handling
of the power tool may result in ex-
tremely serious to fatal injuries!
Danger! Stand on uphill side
when cutting! Log may roll.
Pull stroke sawing
With this technique the underside of
the guide bar saws from top to bot-
tom.
The saw chain pushes the power tool
forwards away from the user. The
front edge of the power tool forms
a support which absorbs the forces
which occur when sawing on the
tree trunk. In pull stroke sawing the
user has much more control over the
power tool and can better avoid kick-
backs. Therefore this sawing tech-
nique should be used preferably.

The information
Warning! If the guide bar
jams, the power tool may be
thrown back towards the user
with great force. If the user does
not use his physical strength to
compensate for the force of the
saw chain pushing backwards,
there is a risk that only the tip of
the guide bar will make contact
with the wood and cause a kick-
back. Risk of death or extremely
severe injuries!
Push stroke sawing
With this technique the upper side of
the guide bar saws from bottom to
top. The saw chain pushes the power
tool backwards towards the user.
Felling a tree
Danger! Felling and limbing
work may be performed by
trained persons only! There is a
risk of life-threatening injuries!
