- To stop: Release the trigger switch. The chain will stop quickly.
3. Кесүү техникасы
- Жалпы кесүү: Hold the saw firmly with both hands. Position the saw so the chain contacts the material to be cut. Apply steady, even pressure.
- Төмөн кесүү: The retractable bar and chain guard can be manually retracted to facilitate undercutting. Exercise extreme caution when performing undercuts.
