Jonsered CS 2186 Chainsaw User Manual


 
English – 17
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Unless the user resists this pushing force there is a risk
that the chain saw will move so far backwards that only the
kickback zone of the bar is in contact with the tree, which
can lead to a kickback.
Cutting with the bottom edge of the bar, i.e. from the top
of the object downwards, is known as cutting with a pulling
chain. 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 with a pulling
chain gives the operator better control over the chain saw
and the position of the kickback zone.
8 Follow the instructions on sharpening and maintaining
your bar and chain. When you replace the bar and chain
use only combinations that are recommended by us. See
instructions under the headings Cutting equipment and
Technical data.

very dangerous because you may lose control of the saw
(see section on “Starting”).
