handed shall use this grip. Never operate a power
cutter holding it with only one hand.
• Stand parallel to the cutting chain. Avoid standing
straight behind. In the event of a kickback the saw will
move in the plane of the bar with the chain.
• Maintain a safe distance from the cutting chain when
the engine is running.
• Never leave the machine unsupervised with the motor
running.
• Never move the machine when the cutting equipment
is rotating.
• Never use the kickback zone of the bar for cutting.
See instructions under the heading "Kickback".
• Keep a good balance and a firm foothold.
• Never cut above shoulder height.
• Never cut from a ladder. Use a platform or scaffold if
the cut is above shoulder height. Do not overreach

anything when the machine is started.

OPERATING
• Let the machine work without forcing or pressing the
chain.
• Feed down the machine in line with the bar and cutting
chain. Pressure from the side can damage the bar
and the cutting chain and is very dangerous.
• Move the cutting chain slowly backwards and
forwards to give a small contact surface between the
cutting chain and material to be cut. This will mean the
cutting chain temperature is kept down resulting in
efficient cutting.
In principle there are two ways to start the process of
entering a thick object to be cut.
Plunge-cut method
• Start by making a 10 centimetre deep cut in the wall
using the lower part of the tip of the bar. Straighten up
the saw at the same time as the tip of the bar is
inserted in the slot. Raising and lowering the saw at
the same time as it is pressed into the wall provides
an effective method of cutting to the full depth.
