Ensure that the saw chain does not
come into contact with the ground.
After completing the cut, wait for the
chainsaw to come to a standstill be-
fore removing the chainsaw. Always
switch off the chainsaw motor before
moving from one tree to another.
If the saw chain jams, you
do not attempt to pull out the
electric chainsaw using power.
There is a danger of injury here.
Switch off the motor and use a
lever or wedge to free the elec-
tric chainsaw.
Bucking
This refers to sawing up a felled tree trunk
into smaller sections. 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.
• Ensure that the saw chain does not
come in contact with the ground during
sawing.
• Make sure you have a secure stance
and, in the case of sloping ground,
stand above the log.
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.
Oils can become viscous in cold
weather.
If no trace of oil appears, it may
be necessary to clean the oil out-
let channel or to have the electric
chainsaw repaired by our customer
service.
Sawing techniques
General
Observe the noise protection and
local regulations when cutting
wood. Local requirements may
require a suitability test. Ask the
forestry commission.
• Lay the connecting lead such that it
will not be caught on branches or simi-
lar during sawing.
• For each cut, apply the claw stop se-
curely and only then start sawing.
• You have better control when you saw
with the bottom side of the chain bar
(with pulling saw chain) and not to
with the top side of the chain bar (with
pushing saw chain).
• The saw chain must not contact either
the ground or another object during
sawing through or after sawing com-
pletion.
• Make sure that the saw chain does not
become jammed in the wood. Do not
let the tree trunk break or split off.
• Consider also the precautions against
spring-back (see notes on safety).
• For sawing work on a slope, always
stand above the tree trunk. To keep
control at the moment of “sawing
through”, reduce the contact pressure
at the end of the cut without loosening
the firm grip on the chainsaw handles.
