CAUTION! Always keep a stable position. Keep off the chunks.
The chunk being cut may roll away. Always stand above the chunk being cut especially when
working on a slope
Take precautions against the saw kickback by following the instructions described in the
„Safe operation" chapter.
Before you start, please evaluate the direction of the cut trunk bending force. Make sure
you always make the final cut on the opposite side of the trunk bending force action to
prevent clamping the bar inside the section.
