Voltask CS-40A - Basic Work Technique

BASIC WORK TECHNIQUE 18
With this technique, sawing occurs with the underside of the guide bar from above downwards. The saw chain
thus pushes the device forwards, away from the user. This way, the front edge of the device forms a support,
which catches the forces which arise on the tree trunk when sawing.
With pull sawing, the user has much more control over the device and can avoid kickback better. Therefore,
this is the preferred sawing technique.
● Saw as close to the motor block as possible and allow the bump stop to grip the wood. This prevents the
saw from kicking back out of control.
● If the bump stop catches too firmly, pull the handle of the saw upwards. The leveraging effect will push the
guide bar down, making the sawing work easier.
With this technique, sawing occurs with the upper edge of the guide bar from below upwards. The saw chain
thus pushes the device backwards, towards the user. If the guide bar twists, the device can fly towards the
user with great force.The leveraging effect will push the guide bar down, making the sawing work easier.
If the user does not balance out the force of the saw chain pushing backwards with his or her bodily force,
there is danger that only the tip of the guide bar will contact the wood, thus creating kickback.

perform any work for which you are not sufficiently qualified Thoughtless handling of this device can cause severe
or even fatal injuries.
DANGER! Risk of injury! Avoid letting the tip of the guide bar cut wood. Use the middle part of the guide bar to
cut wood. This can cause kickback or damage to the guide bar.
