Starting the saw in the tree
When starting the saw in the tree, the operator should:
a) apply the chain brake before starting.
b) hold saw on either the left or right of the body when
starting:
1
on the left side hold the saw with the left hand on the
front handle and thrust the saw away from the body
while holding the pull starter cord in the other hand.
2
on the right side, hold the saw with the right hand on
either handle and thrust the saw away from the body
while holding the pull starter cord in the left hand.
The chain brake should always be engaged before
lowering a running saw onto its strop. Operators should
always check the saw has sufficient fuel before
undertaking critical cuts.
Stopping
The engine is stopped by pushing the stop switch to the
stop position.
