English
Always cut with a correctly
–
sharpened, properly tensioned
chain – the depth gauge setting
must not be too large.
Use a low kickback chain and a
–
narrow radius guide bar.
Pull-in (A)
Pull-in occurs when the chain on the
bottom of the bar is suddenly pinched,
caught or encounters a foreign object in
the wood. The reaction of the chain pulls
the saw forward – always hold the
spiked bumper securely against the tree
or limb.

Pushback (B)
Pushback occurs when the chain on the
top of the bar is suddenly pinched,
caught or encounters a foreign object in
the wood. The reaction of the chain
drives the saw straight back toward the
operator. To avoid pushback:
A
Be alert to situations that may cause
–
the top of the guide bar to be
pinched
Do not twist the guide bar in the cut.
–
Cutting
Do not operate your saw with the
starting throttle lock engaged. Engine
speed cannot be controlled with the
throttle trigger in this position.
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight
conditions and only when visibility is
good. Ensure you do not endanger
others – stay alert at all times.
Use the shortest possible guide bar: The
chain, guide bar and chain sprocket
must match each other and your saw.
B
Position the saw so that your body is
clear of the cutting attachment.
If conditions allow, work from a lift
bucket.
Never work on a ladder or on any other
insecure support, do not work above
shoulder height.
Cordon off the work area in order to
reduce the risk of injuries and damage to
property from falling branches (e.g.
motor vehicles).
