7 WORKING BEHAVIOUR AND
WORKING TECHNIQUE
DANGER!
Danger of fatal injury due to inade-
quate technical knowledge!
Inadequate technical knowledge can re-
sult in extremely serious up to fatal inju-
ry!
■
Only trained and experienced peo-
ple are allowed to fell trees and lop
branches.
DANGER!
Danger of fatal injury from uncontrol-
lable movements of the machine
The moving saw chain develops enor-
mous forces that could lead to the sud-
den uncontrollable swerving and throw-
ing out of the chain saw.
■
Always hold the chain saw with both
hands, the left hand on the front
handle and the right hand on the
rear handle. Regardless of whether
you are left- or right-handed.
DANGER!
Danger of fatal injury due to kick-
back!
The operator can be fatally injured by
kickback of the appliance.
■
It is essential to comply with the
measures in order to avoid any kick-
back.
CAUTION!
Danger to health from inhaling haz-
ardous substances!
The inhalation of lubricating oil steam,
exhaust gases and sawdust can lead to
health impairments.
■
Always use the prescribed personal
protective equipment.
CAUTION!
There is a risk of injury when the
chainsaw is blocked
If you try to pull out a cutting apparatus
when the cutting apparatus – i.e. the
saw chain and guide rail – is blocked
while the engine is running, there is a
risk of injury and risk of damaging the
device.
■
Switch off the engine and pry open
the cut (with a wedge, for example),
or make a relief cut using a second
chain saw or cutting apparatus. Re-
move the jammed cutting apparatus
as soon as the cut opens up.
■
Follow the instructions and proce-
dures stated in the following sec-
tions to avoid blocking or jamming of
the chainsaw.
NOTE
Courses in the use of chain saws and
techniques for felling trees are regularly
held by various forestry organisations.

and make an arc motion with the chain saw
(13/a) so that the chain saw cuts into the
wood.
2. Repeat this work step several times, moving
the point of contact of the bumper spike (13/b).
