5.4 Removing the chain saw mounting kit
from the motor head (Fig. 10/11)
The cutter guard must be slipped over the moun-
ted cutter bar with saw chain in order to prevent
injuries.
1. Pull the lock button (R) to the right.
2. Turn the chain saw mounting kit to the point
where the arrows on the motor head and
chain saw mounting kit coincide, allowing the
mounting kit to be removed.
6. Working with the chainsaw
mounting kit
Preparations
To ensure that you can work safely, check the fol-
lowing points before every use:
Condition of the chainsaw
Inspect the chainsaw before the start of work for
damage to the housing, the power cable, the saw
chain and the cutter rail. Never use a chainsaw
which is obviously damaged.
Oil container
Fill level of the oil container. Even while working,
keep checking that suffi cient oil is in the system.
To avoid damaging the chainsaw, never run the
saw if there is no oil in the system or if the oil
drops below the "min" mark. On average, a single
fi lling will last around 20 minutes depending on
the number of pauses in cutting and the loads
involved.
Saw chain
Tension of the saw chain, condition of the cutting
ele-ments. The sharper the chainsaw, the easier
and more controllable it is to operate the chain-
saw. The same also applies to the chain tension.
Also while working you should check the chain
tension no less than every 10 minutes in order to
increase your safety. New saw chains in particular
often tend to expand more.
Safety clothing
Always wear appropriate tight-fi tting safety
clothing like special trousers which protect
against cuts, protective gloves and safety shoes.

GB
Hearing protection and protective goggles.
Wear a protective helmet with integral face and
hearing protection. This will off er protection
against falling branches and any branches if they
spring back.
Safe working
To ensure that you can work in safety you
must use the equipment at a working angle of
max. 60°.
Never stand under the branch you want to
saw.
Use special caution when working with bran-
ches under tension and splintered wood.
Possible risk of injury caused by falling bran-
ches and catapulting pieces of wood.
When the equipment is in operation keep
other persons and animals away from the
danger zone.
The equipment is not protected from electric
shock through contact with high-voltage
cables. Keep a minimum distance of 10 m
from live cables. Electric shock can cause
fatal injury.
When working on slopes always stand to the
upper or left or right side of the branch you
wish to cut.
Hold the equipment as close as possible to
your body. This will help you to keep your ba-
lance.

Cutting techniques

When removing branches, hold the equip-
ment at an angle of max. 60° to the horizontal
to avoid being hit by a falling branch (Fig. 13).
Start with the bottom branches on the tree.
This will make it easier for the cut branches to
drop.
After completing a cut, the weight of the saw
will abruptly increase for the operator as the
saw is no longer supported by the branch.
This can result in you losing control over the
saw.
Remove the saw from the cut only with the
saw chain still running. This will prevent the
saw from getting jammed.
Never cut with the tip of the saw.
Never cut into the bulging branch collar. This
will prevent the tree from healing.
Sawing off smaller branches (Fig. 14):
Place the contact surface of the saw onto the
branch. This will prevent the saw from making
jerky movements when you begin a cut. Exerting
slight pressure, guide the saw from the top to the
