To fell a tree forward
To fell forward, push the bottom of the tree rearward.
1. Apply full throttle.
2. Put the saw blade against the tree as given in the
picture.
3. Pull the saw blade forward with a fast movement.
To fell large trees
Large trees must be cut from 2 sides.
1. Examine in which direction the tree will fall.
2. Apply full throttle.
3. Do the first cut on the side of the tree to which it will
fall.
4. Cut through the tree from the other side.
CAUTION: If the saw blade becomes
blocked, do not pull the product with a
sudden movement. That can cause damage
to the saw blade, bevel gear, shaft or
handlebar. Release the handles, hold the
1334 - 002 - 14.01.2020
shaft with 2 hands and carefully pull the
product.
Note: Use more cutting pressure fo fell small trees. Use
less cutting pressure to fell large trees.
Brush cutting with a saw blade
To fell to the left, push the bottom of the tree to the right.
• Cut down thin trees and brush.
• Move the product from side to side.
• Cut many trees in one movement.
• For groups of thin trees:
a) Cut the outer trees high up.
b) Cut the outer trees to the correct height.
c) Cut from the center. If you cannot get access to
the center, cut the outer trees high up and let
them fall. This decreases the risk that the saw
blade becomes blocked.
To clear grass with a grass blade
1. Keep your feet apart during operation of the product.
Make sure feet are tightly against the ground.
2. Put the support cup lightly on the ground. This
prevents the blade from touching the ground.
3. Use a sideway movement from right to left for a clear
stroke. Use the left side of the blade (between 8 and
12 o'clock) to cut.
4. Angle the blade to the left when you clear grass.
Note: The grass collects easily in a line.
