Operation
The saw chain (3) must be
>
running at full speed before it
makes contact with the wood.
Use the spike bumper (22) to
secure the product onto the wood
before starting to cut and use it
as a leverage point while cutting
(Fig. 20).
Fig. 20
Reset the spike bumper at a low point when cutting thicker logs
>
by pulling the product slightly backwards until the gripping teeth
release, and then reposition at lower level to continue sawing.
Do not remove the product completely from the wood.
Do not force the saw chain while cutting, let the chain do the work
>
using the gripping teeth to apply minimal leverage pressure.
Do not operate the product
>
with your arms fully extended
or attempt to saw areas which
are difficult to reach, or while
on a ladder. Never use the
product above shoulder height
(Fig. 21).
Fig. 21
Optimum sawing is achieved if the chain speed remains constant
>
during cutting.
Be careful when reaching the end of the cut. The weight of the
>
product may change unexpectedly as it cuts free from the wood.
This can cause accidents to the legs and feet. Always remove
the product from a wood cut while the product is running.
