Press the casing of the chainsaw against the log when starting sawing.
Run the device at full throttle throughout the whole sawing process.
Let the saw do the work. Only use slight downwards pressure.
Release the throttle as soon as you have finished your work so the motor runs idle. If
you let the machine run at full throttle without load, there will be unnecessary wear
and tear.
So that you do not lose control of the device after the chain exits the wood, you should
not apply any pressure to the saw towards the end of the cut.
Felling trees - only with relevant training

CAUTION
Watch out for broken or dead branches which may fall down during sawing and
which could cause severe injuries.
Do not saw close to buildings or power lines if you do not know in which direction
the felled tree will fall. Do not work at night because you can see less well, or during
rain, snow and storms because the direction in which the tree will fall cannot be an-
ticipated.
Plan your work with the chainsaw in advance.
The working environment around the tree should be cleared so you have secure
footing.
The machine operator should always be positioned at a higher level in the working
area because the tree will probably roll or slide down after felling.
Watch out for broken or dead branches that may fall down and cause severe injuries.
The following conditions can influence the tree‘s falling direction:
• Wind direction and speed
• Leaning of the tree - The leaning direction cannot always be recognised because
of uneven or sloping ground. Determine the leaning direction of the tree using a
plumb line or a level.
• Branches growing (and therefore weight) only on one side
• Surrounding trees or obstacles
