Kickback; Cutting Branches; Repairs And Changing The Carbon Brushes - Westfalia 89 01 14 Original Instructions Manual

Kickback

 The electric pole saw is equipped with a low-kickback chain.
And from an engineering point of view everything was done to
keep kickback low as possible. Nevertheless, kickback cannot
be avoided when cutting with the upper tip of the blade.

Be prepared for some kickback when using this area of the
blade or hitting another branch with this area. Always hold the
unit firmly in both hands.

Cutting Branches

 Thin branches can be cut off with one single
cut. To prevent the branch from slivering and
buckling, the branch should be cut off in sever-
al pieces.
 When cutting off lager branches, you should
first cut into the branch form below. First cut
into the branch from below outside the place
where you intend to cut off the branch. The cut
should go from one third to halfway through the
branch.
 This prevents the branch from buckling when
you cut into the branch from the top outside the
first cut.
 Last, cut off the stump with one clean cut. You
might want to seal the cut with a suitable compound.
