Westfalia 76 59 90 Instruction Manual page 26

Operation

always hold the chain saw firmly
with both hands. The thumb and the
finger should grip the handles of the
chain saw,

always keep safe stand in order to
be able to withstand the backward
motion,

never cut over shoulder height,

always cut with full speed,

do not start cutting with the tip of the
sword or inserting the tip of the
sword into the wood first.
2. Pushback
While cutting with the top of the sword
the saw chain may touch a hard object
in the wood. This will pinch the saw
chain and pushback the machine in
direction to the operator.
3. Pull-in
While cutting with the bottom part of the
sword, the saw chain may touch a hard
object in the wood. This will rapidly pull
the machine into the log.
Reduce the risk of sudden strikes by
inserting the claw stops into the wood
first and than start cutting.
