Basic working technique
Risk of injury!
This section deals with the basic working technique when handling the power tool.
The information given here does not replace the extensive training and experience of a
specialist.
Avoid any work for which you are not adequately qualified! Imprudent handling of the power
tool may result in extremely serious to fatal injuries!
Sawing technique
Pull stroke sawing
With this technique the underside of the saw rail saws from top to bottom.
The saw chain pushes the power tool forwards away from the user. The front edge of the power
tool forms a support which absorbs the forces which occur when sawing on the tree trunk.
In pull stroke sawing the user has much more control over the power tool and can better avoid
kickbacks. Therefore this sawing technique should be used preferably.
Push stroke sawing
With this technique the upper side of the saw rail saws from bottom to top.
The saw chain pushes the power tool backwards towards the user.
WARNING!
If the saw rail jams, the power tool may be thrown back towards the user with great force. If
the user does not use his physical strength to compensate for the force of the saw chain
