Basic working technique
Warning!
The information given
here does not replace the extensive
training and experience of a specialist.
Warning!
Avoid any work for which
you are not adequately qualified! Im-
prudent handling of the power tool may re-
sult in extremely serious to fatal injuries!
Danger! Stand on uphill side
when cutting!
Log may roll.
Pull stroke sawing
With this technique the underside of the guide
bar 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 bet-
ter avoid kickbacks. Therefore this sawing
technique should be used preferably.
Warning!
If the guide bar jams, the
power tool may be thrown back to-
wards the user with great force. If the user
does not use his physical strength to com-
pensate for the force of the saw chain push-
ing backwards, there is a risk that only the
tip of the guide bar will make contact with
the wood and cause a kickback. Risk of
death or extremely severe injuries!
Push stroke sawing
With this technique the upper side of the guide
bar saws from bottom to top. The saw chain
pushes the power tool backwards towards the
user.
Felling a tree
Danger!
Felling and limbing work
may be performed by trained per-

injuries!

Before starting felling work, ensure that:
•
there are no unauthorised persons and no
animals within the fall area
(A)
of the tree;
•
there is an obstacle-free escape route for
all those involved. People withdraw
(B)
at
an 45° angle opposite the direction of fall;
•
the area around the trunk is free of obsta-
cles (risk of tripping!);
•
the next workplace is at least two and a
half tree lengths away. Before felling the
tree, check the direction in which the tree
will fall and ensure that there are neither
objects nor persons or animals within a
distance of 2½ tree lengths.
