• Change position to saw off branches
on the other side of the trunk.
• Branches sticking out are cut off sepa

rately.
• Cut off smaller branches, as shown in
Figure
, in one go.
Bucking
This refers to sawing up a felled tree trunk
into smaller sections.
• Ensure that the saw chain does not
come in contact with the ground dur-
ing sawing.
• Make sure you have a secure stance
and, in the case of sloping ground,
stand above the log.
• 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. Follow the
simple instructions for easy sowing.
1. Log is lying 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. Log is supported at one end:
Start sawing from the bottom
and work your way up (with the
upper edge of the bar) a third of
the way into the diameter of the
trunk to prevent splitting. Then
saw from the top downwards
with the lower edge of the bar
towards the first cut to prevent
the bar from becoming jammed
in the wood.
3. Log is supported at both ends:
Start from the top and work
down (with the lower edge of the
bar) to a third of the diameter of
the trunk. Then saw from under-
neath with the upper edge of the
bar until the two cuts meet.
4. Sawing on a sawhorse:
Hold the electric chainsaw
steady with both hands, keep-
ing the saw in front of you while
sawing. Once the saw is through
the wood, guide the machine
passed you on the right (1). Hold
your left arm as straight as you
can (2). Watch out for the falling
trunk. Position yourself to pre-
vent any danger from the sepa-
rated trunk. Watch your feet. The
trunk may cause injuries when
falling. Keep your balance (3).
Maintenance and
cleaning
Basically, carry out mainte-
nance and cleaning works with
switched-off motor and power
plug removed. Danger of injury!
Leave any maintenance and ser-
vicing work not covered by this
manual to our Service-Center.
Use only original spare parts.
Allow the machine to cool down
before all maintenance and
cleaning works. Danger of burn
injuries!
