2. Cutting Attachment
This handbook is intended as a
guide to selecting the correct cutting
attachment for a specific application
as well as to its proper use and
maintenance.
It is important that you read, fully
understand and observe the
instructions in the chainsaw
manual. Non-observance of the
instruction manual may result in
serious or fatal injury.
: Special safety precautions must
be observed to reduce the risk of
personal injury when working
with a chainsaw because of the
very high chain speed and very
sharp cutters.
Chain and Bar Manual
The cutting results obtained with a
chainsaw basically depend on three
factors:
– Design and power of the
chainsaw.
– Type and condition of the saw
chain, guide bar and chain
sprocket.
– Cutting technique used by the
saw operator.
The saw chain is the part which
does the actual cutting work and is
therefore the part which has the
greatest influence on the results
achieved.
The cutting attachment consists of
the saw chain, guide bar and chain
sprocket.
Correct use, maintenance and
repair of the cutting attachment are
therefore of critical importance.
