Current adjustment
The tension of the chain should be correct, when working at ambient temperature, the chain will lean against the bottom of the saber and still be able to be pulled with the hand on it;
Adjust the chain only with the cordless chainsaw off;
Keep the chain always adjusted, as it tightens the motor and loosens the risk of detaching from the saber channel;
The chain tension must be visually checked during cutting and, if necessary, corrected.
Burst cutting
Hold the chain saw securely with your left thumb under the steering wheel;
Position with the left leg forward, supporting the chainsaw;
It is forbidden to place the left foot on the log to be cut;
During operation with a chainsaw, always be accompanied by another operator;

Preventing backsliding
Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands;
Do not work with your body too leaning forward and do not cut above shoulder height;
Take special care when the saber has to be placed in a cut already started;
Pay attention to the conditions of the wood and the forces that can close the slit of the cut and, with this, to secure the chain.
