SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Cutting with the bottom edge of the bar, i.e. from the top
Before use:
of the object downwards, is known as cutting on the pull
stroke. In this case the chain saw pulls itself towards the
tree and the front edge of the chain saw body rests
naturally on the trunk when cutting. Cutting on the pull
stroke gives the operator better control over the chain saw
and the position of the kickback zone.
