Operation

always hold the chain saw firmly
with both hands. The thumb and
the finger should grip the han-
dles of the chain saw,

always keep safe stand in order
to be able to withstand the back-
ward motion,

never cut over shoulder height,

always cut with full speed,

do not start cutting with the tip of
the sword or inserting the tip of
the sword into the wood first.
2. Pushback
While cutting with the top of the
sword the saw chain may touch a
hard object in the wood. This will
pinch the saw chain and pushback
the machine in direction to the
operator.
3. Pull-in
While cutting with the bottom part of
the sword, the saw chain may touch
a hard object in the wood. This will
rapidly pull the machine into the log.
Reduce the risk of sudden strikes by
inserting the claw stops into the
wood first and than start cutting.
