If the saw chain gets stuck, do not attempt to pull out the tool with force. There is a risk
of injury. Turn the motor off and use a lever arm or wedge to release the tool.
Cut to length
Cutting to length means sawing felled tree trunks into small sections. Ensure that you have
secure footing and balance your body weight evenly on both feet. If possible, the trunk
should be protected and supported by branches, logs or wedges.
The saw chain must be running at full speed before it makes contact with the wood.
1. Sawing on the ground:
Saw through the log completely from above and ensure at the end of the cut not to contact
the ground. If you can turn the tree trunk, saw two thirds of the way through it. Then turn the
trunk around and saw the rest of the way through from above.
2. Sawing on a sawhorse:
Hold the chainsaw steady with both hands, keeping the saw in front of you while sawing.
Lead the guide bar through the log. Watch out for the falling trunk. Position yourself to
prevent any danger from the separated trunk. Watch your feet. The trunk may cause injuries
when falling. Keep your balance.
Limbing
Limbing is the designation for the sawing off of branches and boughs from a felled tree.
Many accidents occur during the removal of branches. Never cut tree limbs when you are
standing on the log. Keep the spring-back area in mind if branches are under tension.
• Do not remove support branches until after the sawing off.
• Branches under tension must be sawed from below to above, in order to prevent
jamming of the chainsaw.
• Cut one branch at a time. Change position to saw off branches on the other side of the
trunk.
• When working on thicker branches, use the same technique as when you are sawing
up a felled trunk.
MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off the chainsaw and remove the
battery.
Only use original spare parts. Allow the tool to cool off before undertaking any maintenance
or cleaning work. There is a danger of burns!
Use cut-protection gloves when handling the chain or the guide bar. Risk of cuts!
