tree or limb and when the chain is not rotating at full speed before it contacts the wood.
To avoid pull-in effect, always start a cut with the chain rotating at full speed and the bumper spike
in contact with the wood
Use the spiked bumper to support the chainsaw on the wood. During sawing, you can use the spiked
bumper as a lever.
ATTENTION
! National or local regulations may restrict the use of the
machine to certain hours or periods. Check with your local authority.
Note: careful daily inspection should be performed before use and after a drop
or shock to identify major defects. Do not use the machine until the defects
have been repaired.
Restrict working hours to a minimum and always take rest periods.
For proper use, after each work period take a rest period (for ex take a rest for
10 minutes after a work period of 30 minutes).
5.2- Working with the chainsaw
WARNING
Sawing and felling a tree, as well as all related works (mortise cutting, limbing, etc.), should only be carried
out by persons with the required training.
A person lacking experience in using the chainsaw or without working techniques should not perform any of
these jobs – accident hazard!
For felling and limbing, the gasoline chainsaws are better suited than electric chainsaws.
Always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands.
Front grip with the left hand and rear grip with the right
hand. Fully grip both handles at all times during operation.
Never operate chain saw using only one hand.
Ensure power cord is located to the rear, away from the
chain and wood and so positioned that it will not be caught
on branches or the like during cutting.
Use the chain saw only with secure footing. Hold the chain
saw at the right-hand side of your body (Fig. 14).

The chain must be running at full speed before it contacts
the wood.
Use the metal gripping teeth to secure the saw onto the
wood before starting to cut.
Use the spiked bumper as a leverage point “a” while cutting
