The axle should always be held at an angle of no more than 60°!
The most comfortable working position is with the tool at a 60° angle. Still, smaller
angles are also possible, depending on the situation.
Cross-cutting
To avoid jamming the guide rail in the cutting gap, place the tool
with the hook against the branch, and then perform the cross-
section from top to bottom.
The relief cut
To avoid splintering the bark on thick branches, always start with
a relief cut (1) on the lower side of the branch.
•
To do this, guide the saw in an arc through the underside
of the branch (see illustration).
•
Then place the hook against the branch and make the
cross-cut (2).
Cut thick branches flush
If the branch diameter is more than 10 cm, first cut it with relief and
cross-section (3) at a distance (A) of about 20 cm from the actual
target.
•
Then you can cut the branch flush (4) through relief and
subsequent cross-section.
Cutting over obstacles
The long reach allows the cutting of branches and twigs hanging over obstacles such as
rivers or ponds.
The angle of the tool depends on the position of the branches and twigs.
Reactive forces
Reactive forces occur during the operation of the saw-chain. The forces that are to be
applied to the wood act against the user. They happen when the running chain comes
into contact with a solid object such as a branch or is jammed. These forces can lead to
a loss of control and injuries as a result. Understanding the origin of these forces can
help you avoid the fright and loss of control.
This saw is designed so that the kickback effects are not as noticeable as with
conventional chainsaws.
Nevertheless, always keep a firm grip and an excellent stance to maintain control of the
tool in case of doubt.
The most common effects are:
•
kickback,
•
Recoil,
•
Retreat.
