Information about working technique
WARNING:
The information related to
working technique in this operator's manual
is not sufficient training to operate this
product. Only use this product if you have
correct training in tree maintenance.
Operation without correct training can result
in serious injury or death to the operator or
others.
• Use full throttle when you cut and decrease to idle
speed after each cut.
CAUTION: Engine damage can occur if
the engine runs for too long at full throttle
without load.
• When you cut, put the spiked bumper into the trunk
and use it as a lever.
Note:
Not all models have a spiked bumper. Speak
to your servicing dealer for more information.
Pull stroke and push stroke
You can cut through wood with the product in 2 different
positions.
• To cut on the pull stroke is when you cut with the
bottom of the guide bar. The saw chain pulls through
the tree when you cut. In this position you have
better control of the product and the position of the
kickback zone.
• To cut on the push stroke is when you cut with the
top of the guide bar. The saw chain pushes the
product in the direction of the operator.
WARNING:
If the saw chain is caught in
the trunk, the product can be pushed at
you. Hold the product tightly and make
sure that the kickback zone of the guide
bar does not touch the tree and causes a
kickback.
