switch in the choke position to obtain the correct
choke/start throttle setting. (1).

switch will have engaged a high idle, which makes it
easier to start a warm chainsaw.

Basic cutting technique

• To cut from above = To cut on the pull stroke. This
means that the saw chain pulls through the tree and
that the chainsaw body lies on the trunk when you
cut. To cut on the pull stroke gives the operator
better control of the product and the position of the
kickback area.
