the operator or bystanders.
Particular attention must be given when
sawing sideward, slanted or during length
cuts, as the spiked bumper usually can not be
applied.
To avoid kickback:
- Saw with guide bar at a flat angle.
- Never work with a loose, widely stretched or
the heavily worn out chain.
- Ensure chain is sharpened correctly.
- Never saw above shoulder height.
- Never work with the tip of the guide bar.
- Always hold the chain saw firmly with both
hands.
- Always use a low kickback chain.
- Apply the metal gripping teeth for leverage.
- Ensure correct chain tension.
General behavior
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. (See Fig. G)

Use the chain saw only with secure footing.
Hold the chain saw at the right-hand side of
your body. (See Fig. I)
The chain must be running at full speed
before it makes contact with the wood. Use
the metal gripping teeth to secure the saw
onto the wood before starting to cut. Use
the gripping teeth (9) as a leverage point "a"
while cutting. (See Fig. J)
Reset the gripping teeth at a low point when
sawing thicker logs by pulling the chain
saw slightly backwards until the gripping
teeth release, and reposition at lower level
to continue sawing. Do not remove the saw
completely from the wood.
Do not force the chain while cutting, let the
chain do the work, using the gripping teeth to
apply minimal leverage pressure.
Do not operate the chain saw with arms fully
extended or attempt to saw areas which are
difficult to reach, or on a ladder. Never use the
chain saw above shoulder height. (See fig. K)
Chain saw
Sawing is optimized when the chain speed
remains steady during cutting.
Beware when reaching the end of the cut. The
weight of the saw may change unexpectedly
as it cuts free from the wood. Accidents can
occur to the legs and feet.
Always remove the saw from a wood cut
while the saw is running.
Cutting logs
Observe the following safety instructions:
Support logs so that the face sides at the
cut do not close in against each other, which
would result in the chain being jammed or
pinched. (See Fig. I,L)
Position and set short logs safety prior to
sawing. Saw only wood or wooden objects.
When sawing, always take care to avoid
hitting stones, nails, ect, as these could be
thrown up or cause damage to the chain or
serious injury to the operator or bystanders.
Keep a running saw clear or wire fencing or
the ground.
Use of the saw to thin out branches or bushes
is not approved.
Length cuts must be carried out with care,
as leverage with the gripping teeth (9) is not
possible. Saw at a flat angle to avoid kickback.
When working on a slope, operate above or to
the side of the trunk or laying tree.
Be careful not to trip over tree stumps,
branches, roots, etc.
Cutting wood under tension (See Fig. L)
There is a high risk of accidents when sawing
wood, branch or trees under tension. Be
extremely careful.
Leave saw jobs like these to professionals.
When sawing logs supported on both ends,
start the cut from above(Y) about 1/3 of the
diameter into the log and then finish the cut
(Z) from below, in order to avoid contact of
the chain saw with the ground. When sawing
logs supported on only one end, start the cut
from below (Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into
the log and finish the cut from above (Z) in
order to avoid log splitting or jamming of the
chain saw.
