Working methods
Before you start clearing, check the clearing area, the 
type of terrain, the slope of the ground, whether there 
are stones, hollows etc.
Start at whichever end of the area is easiest, and clear 
an open space from which to work.
Work systematically to and fro across the area, 
clearing a width of around 4-5 m on each pass. This 
exploits the full reach of the machine in both directions 
and gives the operator a convenient and varied 
working area to work in.
Clear a strip around 75 m long. Move your fuel can as 
work progresses.
On sloping ground you should work along the slope. It 
is much easier to work along a slope than it is to work 
up and down it.
You should plan the strip so that you avoid going over 
ditches or other obstacles on the ground. You should 
also orient the strip to take advantage of wind 
conditions, so that cleared stems fall in the cleared 
area of the stand.
Forestry clearing using a saw blade
The risk of blade thrust increases with increasing 
stem size. You should therefore avoid cutting with the 
area of the blade between 12 o’clock and 3 o’clock.
To fell to the left, the bottom of the tree should be 
pushed to the right. Tilt the blade and bring it 
diagonally down to the right, exerting firm pressure. At 
!
WARNING! Watch out for thrown objects. 
Always wear approved eye protection. 
Never lean over the cutting attachment 
guard. Stones, rubbish, etc. can be 
thrown up into the eyes causing 
blindness or serious injury.
Keep unauthorised persons at a 
distance. Children, animals, onlookers 
and helpers should be kept outside the 
safety zone of 15 m. Stop the machine 
immediately if anyone approaches. Never 
swing the machine around without first 
checking behind you to make sure no-
one is within the safety zone.
!
WARNING! Sometimes branches or 
grass get caught between the guard and 
cutting attachment. Always stop the 
engine before cleaning.
!
WARNING! Machines fitted with saw 
blades or grass blades can be thrown 
violently to the side when the blade 
comes into contact with a fixed object. 
This is called blade thrust. A blade thrust 
can be violent enough to cause the 
machine and/or operator to be propelled 
in any direction, and possibly lose 
control of the machine. Blade thrust can 
occur without warning if the machine 
snags, stalls or binds. Blade thrust is 
more likely to occur in areas where it is 
difficult to see the material being cut.
Avoid cutting with the area of the blade 
between the 12 o’clock and 3 o’clock 
positions. Because of the speed of 
rotation of the blade, blade thrust can 
occur if you attempt to cut thick stems 
with this area of the blade.
