• Switch off the motor if the saw comes into contact with
a foreign object. Check the saw and repair it if neces-
sary.
• Protect the chain from dirt and sand. Even small
amounts of dirt can quickly dull the chain and increase
the risk of kickback.
• Start by sawing smaller logs for practice to get a feel
for your product before tackling more difficult tasks.
• Press the housing of the electric chainsaw against the
tree trunk when you start sawing.
• Let the saw work for you. Apply only light downward
pressure.
• To avoid losing control of the product after the chain
has come out of the wood, do not apply pressure to
the saw towards the end of the cut.
• Do not cut wood that is lying on the ground or try to
cut roots that are sticking out of the ground.
• Avoid abnormal postures. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
• You have better control when you saw with the under-
side of the bar (with a pulling chain).
• The saw chain must not touch the ground or any other
object during or after sawing.
• Also observe the precautions against kick-back (see
safety instructions).
10.1
Holding the device correctly
DANGER
Danger 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 product tight in both
hands!
10.2
How to saw correctly!
• Exert regular pressure on the product and do not ap-
ply excessive force.
• If possible, apply the product to the branch you wish
to saw with the claw stop.
• Never work without the claw stop. The product 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.

• If it came into contact with a foreign object. Inspect the
product for damage and perform the required repairs
before starting again and working with the product. If
the product begins to experience exceptionally strong
vibrations, switch it off immediately and check it.

Sawing techniques
10.3.1
With this technique, sawing takes place with the under-
side of the guide bar from top to bottom.
The saw chain pulls the product forwards and away from
the user. With this action, the front edge of the product
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 product and is
able to better avoid kickbacks.
10.3.2
DANGER
Life-threatening injuries!
If the guide bar tilts, the product may be flung towards
the user with great force.
If the user does not balance the backward force of the
saw chain with their body strength, there is a risk that
only the tip of the guide rail will remain in contact with
the wood and kick-back will occur.
With this technology, sawing takes place with the top side
of the guide rail from bottom to top.
The saw chain pushes the product backwards, towards
the user.
10.3.3
This is the sawing of felled tree trunks into small sections.
If possible, the trunk should be underpinned and support-
ed by branches, beams or wedges.
• Always make sure you have a firm footing and on-
ly use the chainsaw when standing on firm, safe
and level ground. Slippery ground or unstable stand-
ing surfaces can cause loss of balance or loss of con-
trol of the chainsaw.
• Always stand above the branch when sawing on
slopes. Ensure that the saw chain does not come into
contact with the ground. After completing the cut, wait
for the saw chain to stop before removing the product.
• Always switch off the product's engine before switch-
ing from workplace to workplace.
10.3.3.1
• The saw chain must not touch the ground or any other
object during or after sawing.
• Saw all the way through the trunk from the top.
• If there is the possibility of the trunk turning, saw
through 2/3 of it.
Then turn the truck over and saw through the rest of
the trunk from above.
10.3.3.2
• First saw through 1/3 of the trunk diameter from bot-
tom to top (with the top side of the guide bar) to avoid
fragments.
• Then saw from top to bottom (with the underside of
the guide bar) towards the first cut to avoid jamming.
