The angle gear has two purposes:
The fi rst is to gear down the engine's high speed to better suit the lower speed a saw blade or
trimmer requires to work effi ciently.
Second, the angle gear contributes to the saw operator's working stance so that it is comfortable
and at the same time effi cient. The power from the engine, via the drive axle, shall in other words be
angled so that the cutting equipment works parallel to the ground.
