Sawing off smaller branches (Fig. 41):
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
bottom through the branch.
Sawing off large and long branches (Fig. 42):
Carry out a relief cut when working on large
branches.
Start by sawing through 1/3 of the branch
diameter (section 1.) from the bottom to the
top with the top side of the cutter rail. Then saw
towards the fi rst cut (section 2) from the top to the
bottom with the bottom side of the cutter rail. Saw
off long branches in several steps to keep control
over the impact location.
Kickback
The term "kickback" describes what happens
when the running telescoping pole chain saw
suddenly kicks upward and backward. Usually this
is caused by contact between the tip of the rail
and the workpiece or by the saw chain becoming
trapped.
In the event of kickback, large forces occur
suddenly and violently. As a result, the cordless
telescoping pole chain saw usually reacts
uncontrollably. This can often result in very serious
injuries to the worker or persons in the vicinity. The
risk of kickback is at its greatest when the saw is
positioned for a cut in the region of the tip of the
cutter rail, as the leverage eff ect is greatest there.
It is therefore safest to position the saw as fl at as
possible.
Warning!
•
Make sure that the chain tension is always
correctly adjusted.
•
Only use a cordless telescoping pole chain
saw that is in perfect working order.
•
Only work with a saw chain that has been
properly sharpened in accordance with the
instructions.
•
Never cut with the upper edge or the tip of the
rail.
•
Always hold the cordless telescoping pole
chain saw firmly with both hands.
Cutting wood which is under tension
Special care is required when cutting wood which
is under tension. Cutting wood which is under
tension can release the tension, causing the wood
to react out of control. In the worst case this can
result in severe and even fatal injuries. This type of

work must be performed only by specially trained
persons.
7.3 Working with the cordless hedge trimmer
•
Check that the blades work properly. With
their twin cutting edges, the blades rotate in
opposite directions, thus guaranteeing a high
cutting performance and smooth operation.
•
Take care to maintain a steady foothold
and hold the tool firmly in both hands away
from your body. Before you switch on, make
sure that the equipment is not touching any
objects.
Work practice
•
A hedge trimmer can be used to cut shrubs
and bushes as well as hedges.
•
To obtain the best cutting results, hold the
hedge trimmer so that the cutter teeth are
at an angle of approx. 15° in relation to the
hedge (see Fig. 43).
•
The blades with their twin cutting edges rotate
in opposite directions to enable cutting in both
directions (see Fig. 44).
•
It is recommended to tie a guide line along
the hedge so that you cut the hedge to a level
height. Cut off all branches which protrude
beyond the guide line (see Fig. 45/46).
•
Cut the sides of the hedge with curve-shaped
movements from the bottom up (see Fig. 47).
