First, operate all functions in a clear area with
throttle at low idle to get a good feel for the controls
before you actually move into any brush.
Slow cutting speed if pressure surges up close
to max psi. Doing this will greatly reduce blade
stoppage.
Run throttle at half speed for first time users.
Move the drop saw slowly until you have a better
feel how much the unit can take.
The machine is equipped with a front push bar to
push brush or small trees over. This will allow the
drop saw teeth to contact the lower portion of the
brush and the blade to cut it off.
Each operator must experiment to find a technique
that works for them in their application.
