Basic operating / cutting procedure
1. To become proficient attend a recognised chain saw training course to learn how to
operate chain saws safely and effectively. Familiarise yourself with all the controls
and switches. Practise all movements with the product switched off.
2. Always hold the product firmly with both hands. Front handle (5) with the left hand
and rear handle (9) with the right hand. Fully grip both handles at all times during
operation. Never operate the product using only one hand.
3. Only use the product with a secure stance. Hold the product at the right-hand side
of your body (Fig. 24).

4. Check the proper lubrication as described in section “Before you start - Chain
lubrication” before performing any cut.
5. Ensure the saw chain (3) is running at full speed before it makes contact with the
wood. Use the spiked bumper (16) to secure the product onto the wood before
starting to cut and use it as a leverage point while cutting (Fig. 25).

6. Reset the spiked bumper at a low point when cutting thicker logs by pulling the
product slightly backwards until the gripping teeth release, and reposition at lower
level to continue sawing. Do not remove the product completely from the wood.
7. Do not force the saw chain while cutting, let the chain do the work, using the gripping
teeth to apply minimal leverage pressure.
