CAUTION
Do not stand on the log you are currently cutting. The log could roll away and you
may lose your footing and control of the device. Do not carry out sawing work on
sloping ground.
Important notices
•
Only ever saw one log or branch.
•
Be careful when cutting split wood. You may be hit by sharp pieces of wood.
•
Cut small logs or branches on a sawhorse. When cutting logs, no other person
must hold on to the log. Do not secure the log with your leg or foot.
•
Do not use the saw in areas where logs, roots and other parts of the tree are en-
tangled. Pull the logs to a free area and cut the freed logs first.
Different cuts for log division (Fig. 17)

CAUTION
If the saw is jammed in a log, do not pull it out with force. You may lose control of the
device and suffer severe injuries and/or damage the saw.
Stop the saw and drive a plastic or wooden wedge into the cut until the saw can be
pulled out easily. Restart the saw and carefully continue with the cut. Never start the
saw when it is jammed in a log.
Topping (Fig. 18, Pos. 1)
Topping starts at the upper side of the log where you hold the saw against the log.
Only use slight downwards pressure for topping.
Undercut (Fig. 18, Pos. 2)
Start the undercut on the underside of the log and hold the top edge of the saw
against the log. Only use slight upwards pressure for the undercut. Hold the saw se-
curely to control the device. The saw will push backwards (in your direction).
m
CAUTION
Never hold the saw the wrong way round for an undercut. You do not have control of
the device in this position. Always make the first cut on the compression side of the
log. The compression side of the log is where the pressure of the log‘s weight is con-
centrated.
