Avoid letting the area of the saw rail depicted on the right touch wood or
other hard objects.
Only a careful and correct working method can reduce the risk of a
rebound reliably!
Basic work technique
Risk of injury!
This section treats the basic work technique when handling the device. The information pro-
Danger!
vided here does not replace the many years of training and experience of a professional.
Do not perform any work for which you are not sufficiently qualified! Thoughtless handling
of the device can cause severe or even fatal injuries!
Before each use
1. Check the rear hand guard for damage.
2. Check the switch-on safety lock and start button to ensure they are functioning correctly.
3. Check whether all handles are free of oil.
4. Check whether all parts of the device are present, firmly attached and undamaged.
5. Check the chain catcher for damage.
6. Check the chain tensioning.
Sawing technique
Pulling sawing
With this technique, sawing occurs with the underside of the saw rail from
above downwards. The saw chain thus pushes the device forwards away
from the user. This way, the front edge of the device forms a support, which
catches the forces which arise on the tree trunk when sawing.
With pulling sawing, the user has much more control over the device and
can avoid rebounds better. Therefore, this is the preferred sawing tech-
nique.
Pushing sawing
With this technique, sawing occurs with the upper edge of the saw rail from
below upwards. The saw chain thus pushes the device backwards towards
the user. If the saw rail twists, the device can fly towards the user with great
force.
