Tips on using chainsaw
Sawing fi rewood
Follow these safety rules when sawing fi rewood: make sure the wood is safely positioned
so that it cannot slide/roll during sawing. Try to fasten smaller pieces of wood. Only use
the chainsaw for sawing wood. Make sure that no stones, nails or other objects that can be
thrown around or damage the saw chain are near the chainsaw during sawing. Do not allow
the saw chain to touch the ground, barbed wire etc when sawing. Make sure that the guide
does not get caught in twigs; only saw twigs, one at a time. Make sure you are standing
straight; wear protective shoes with slip-proof soles. The chainsaw should always be switched
off when being moved. Do not hold your hand over the switch enabling the saw to start up
involuntarily if you should trip over anything.
To remember
• The chainsaw must be started fi rst so that the saw chain is in motion when the saw guide
is placed against the log.
• Start the chainsaw by pressing the power switch and safety lock on the rear handle (1).
These must be pressed at the same time in order to start the chainsaw.
• Place the lower part of the spike bar (10) on the wood and begin sawing. Pull back
the chainsaw a little and move it so that the wood is higher up on the spike bar and
continue sawing.
• Be careful when sawing wood that is cracked or split as sharp splinters may be thrown about.
Sawing clamped-down wood
Warning! Be careful when handling wood that has been clamped down.
Check the incline of the wood before you begin sawing. If you saw on the side of the log
which has pushing forces the saw may get stuck. If you saw on the side with the pulling
forces, the log may split.
The upper side is loaded with pulling forces
and the underside with pushing forces.
Warning:
The wood will split when sawn.
The underside is loaded with pulling forces
and the upper side with pushing forces.
Warning:
The wood will strike downwards
when sawn.
