WARNING: Use full power when you cut and decrease the speed to idle after each cut.
CAUTION:
Motor damage can occur if the motor runs for too long at full power without load. For example if the motor runs for too long without resistance from the saw chain during cutting.
You can use the product to cut through wood in two 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: Be careful when you cut on the push stroke. If the saw chain gets trapped in the trunk, the product can be pushed at you. You must prevent this force or there is a risk that the kickback zone of the guide bar touches the tree. This will lead to a kickback.
-
Put the trunk on a saw horse or runners.
WARNING: Do not try to cut trunks in a pile. That increases the risk of kickback and can result in serious injury or death.
