working.
• Ensure the tip of the bar does not touch any object.
• Do not cut branches with the tip of the bar.

sort in the cutting area and pay special attention to
metal parts near or close to the working and

mentioned unpredictable forces.

into a cut that has already been started.
• Do not start cutting until familiarised with basic
cutting techniques.
• Do not cut branches or pieces of wood that could
change position during the duration of the cut.
• Maintain the chain in a good state.
