• If you accidentally touch a solid object with the de-
vice, switch off the engine immediately and inspect
the device for any damage.
• Maintain the device carefully. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the device's
operation. Have damaged parts repaired before us-
ing the device. Many accidents are caused by poor-
ly maintained devices.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Have the device serviced by qualified personnel.
• Only use manufacturer's recommended original
spare parts.
12.2 Holding the device correctly
m Risk of injury!
• Never work on unstable ground!
• Never work above shoulder height!
• Never work when standing on ladders!
• Do not bend too far when working!
• Only use the device when the weather and terrain
conditions are favourable!
• Stand with both legs firmly on the ground.
• Be aware of obstacles in the working area.
• During work, always hold the device tight in both
hands!
• Hold the device:
- with the left hand on the bow-type handle.
- with the right hand on the handle.
- whilst balanced in a stable stance.
12.3
How to saw correctly!
• Scan the working area and remove any interfering
objects.
• At the start of work, check that the device is safe.
• Hold the device in both hands as prescribed.
• Switch on the chainsaw before applying it to the cut.
• Exert regular pressure on the device and do not
apply excessive force.
• If possible, apply the device to the branch you wish
to saw with the claw stop (8).
• Never work without the claw stop. The chainsaw
can pull the operator forward. Use the claw stop for
cutting tree trunks or thick branches. Using the claw
stop increases work safety, reduces personal strain
when working and vibrations are also reduced.
m ATTENTION!
If the cutting device touches a foreign body, or the
operating noise intensifies, or the electrical device vi-
brates unusually heavily, switch off the engine and al-
low the electrical device to come to a halt. Remove the
battery and implement the following measures:
• Check for damage.
• Check for loose parts and fasten all parts.
• replace damaged parts with equivalent parts or
have them repaired.
12.4 After use
m Risk of injury!
Always switch off the motor before setting the device
down! The saw chain will run on for a short time after
the on/off switch is released.
• Stop the engine.
• Wait until all moving parts have come to a com-
plete standstill.
• Remove the battery.
• Place the protective cover (5) on the cutting unit.
• Activate the chain brake (9).
• Allow the product to cool.
12.5
Basic working technique
m Risk of injury!
This section examines the basic working tech-
nique for using the device. The information provid-
ed here does not replace the many years of train-
ing and experience of a specialist. Avoid any work
that you are not adequately qualified for! Careless
use of the device can lead to serious injuries and
even death!
12.6
Sawing technique
12.6.1 Pull sawing (Fig. 20)
With this technique, sawing takes place with the un-
derside of the guide rail from top to bottom.
The saw chain pulls the device forwards and away
from the user. With this action, the front edge of the
device forms a support, which absorbs the forces that
arise on the tree trunk during sawing. With pull sawing,
the user has significantly greater control over the de-
vice and is able to better avoid kickbacks. This sawing
technique should therefore be used if possible.
12.6.2 Push sawing (Fig. 21)
With this technology, sawing takes place with the top
side of the guide rail from bottom to top. The saw chain
pushes the device backwards, towards the user.
