Basic working technique
Danger of injury! This section covers the basic working technique for handling the device. The
information given here does not replace many years of training and experience of a specialist.
Avoid any work for which you are not sufficiently qualified! Careless handling of the device can result
in serious injuries or even death!
Pull sawing
With this technique, sawing is done with the underside of the saw bar from top to bottom. The saw-
chain pulls the machine forwards away from the user. The front edge of the device forms a support
which absorbs the forces on the tree trunk during sawing. When pulling the saw, the user has much
more control over the machine and can better avoid kickbacks. This is the preferred sawing
technique (see following figure)
Push sawing
With this technique the sawing is done with the top of the saw bar from bottom to top. The saw-
chain pulls the machine backwards towards the user (see following figure).
WARNING!
If the saw-bar tilts, the device can be hurled towards the user with great force. If the user does not
compensate for the force of the saw-chain pushing backwards with his own physical strength, there
is a risk that only the tip of the saw-bar will make contact with the wood, resulting in kickback. Risk of
death or serious injury!
