ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object
or when the material closes in and pinches the chain while cutting. These
conditions may cause sudden reverse reactions with a consequent loss of
control of the electric saw.
The understanding and prevention of kickback eliminate the element of
surprise reducing the possibility of an accident. To avoid and reduce
kickback, keep the electric saw under control by grasping it with both hands.
Make sure that the area where you are cutting is free from obstacles.
Cutting walls
The most delicate phase of wall level cutting is the saw penetration which has to be
done slowly and always at an angle of 35° (see Fig. 13-13). After a diagonal cutting of
about 30 - 40 cm, set the electric saw at 90° and execute in this position a through-
cutting of the wall (see Fig. 13-13A).
Figure 13 – How to make horizontal cuts.
Never push down on the saw when cutting. The weight of the saw alone enables it to
cut properly with minimum effort.
