WORKING TECHNIQUES
S To fell to the left, the bottom of the tree
should be pushed to the right. Tilt the
blade and bring it diagonally down to
the right, exerting firm pressure. At the
same time push the stem using the blade
guard. Cut with the area of the blade be-
tween 3 o'clock and 5 o'clock. Apply full
throttle before advancing the blade.
S To fell to the right, the bottom of the tree
should be pushed to the left. Tilt the blade
and bring it diagonally up to the right. Cut
with the area of the blade between 3
o'clock and 5 o'clock so that the direction
of rotation of the blade pushes the bottom
of the tree to the left.
S To fell a tree forwards, the bottom of the
tree should be pulled backwards. Pull the
blade backwards with a quick, firm move-
ment.
S Large stems must be cut from two sides.
First determine which direction the stem
will fall. Make the first cut on the felling
side. Then finish cutting the stem from the
other side. Adjust the cutting pressure to
match the size of the stem and the hard-
ness of the wood. Small stems require
more pressure, while large stems require
less pressure.

S If the stems are tightly packed, adapt your
walking pace to suit.
S If the blade jams in a stem, never jerk the
machine free. If you do this the blade,
bevel gear, shaft or handlebar may be
damaged. Release the handles, grip the
shaft with both hands and gently pull the
machine free.
Brush cutting with a saw blade
S Thin stems and brush are mown down.
Work with a sawing movement, swinging
sideways.
S Try to cut several stems in a single sawing
movement.
S With groups of hardwood stems, first clear
around the group. Start by cutting the
stems high up around the outside of the
group to avoid jamming. Then cut the
stems to the required height. Now try to
reach in with the blade and cut from the
center of the group. If it is still difficult to
gain access, cut the stems high up and let
them fall. This will reduce the risk of jam-
ming.
