4 Working Techniques
chain saw in the vicinity of easily combustible
materials, dry plants or scrub. It is mandatory
that you ask the responsible forestry office about
the current fire hazard.
If on a slope, stand on the uphill side of the log.
Watch out for rolling logs.
When working at heights:
– Always use a lift bucket
– Never use the machine while standing on a
ladder or in a tree
– Never work on an insecure support
– Never work above shoulder height
– Never use the machine with just one hand
Begin cutting with the saw at full throttle and
engage the spiked bumper firmly in the wood,
and then continue cutting.
Never work without the spiked bumper because
the saw may pull you forwards and off balance.
Always hold the spiked bumper securely against
the tree or limb.
At the end of the cut, the chain saw is no longer
supported by the cutting attachment in the cut.
The chain saw's weight must be borne by the
user – risk of loss of control!
Sawing thin wood:
– Use a sturdy and stable support – sawhorse.
– Never hold the log with your leg or foot.
– never allow another person to hold the log or
help in any other way.
Limbing
– use a low kickback chain.
– Work with the saw supported wherever possi‐
ble.
– do not stand on the log while limbing it.
– do not cut with the bar nose.
– watch for limbs which are under tension.
– never cut several limbs at once.
Lying or standing logs under tension:
Always make the cuts in the correct order (first
compression side (1), then tension side (2)), oth‐
0458-562-8721-B
erwise the cutting attachment may stick in the cut
or kick back – risk of injury!
► Make relieving cut at the compression side (1)
► Make bucking cut at the tension side (2)
Be wary of pushback when making bucking cut
from the bottom upwards (underbuck).
NOTICE
Do not cut a lying log at a point where it is touch‐
ing the ground because the saw chain will other‐
wise be damaged.
Ripping:
Sawing technique without use of the spiked
bumper – risk of pull-in – position the guide bar at
as shallow an angle as possible – be especially
careful – increased risk of kickback!
