-
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.
-
Use full power when you cut.
-
Let go of the power trigger after each cut.
CAUTION:Motor damage can occur if you run the motor for too long at full power and without load. One example is if you cut without resistance from the saw chain.
