ELECTRIC CHAIN SAW
•
Only now make the back cut, which must be higher than the sole of the undercut. Insert wedges in time.
•
Leave the bridge in place as it will function as a hinge. If you cut through the bridge, the tree will fall
randomly.
Fell the tree by driving a wedge into the back cut, not by sawing through it.
When the tree falls, step back and watch the crown.
Wait for the crown to stop swinging. Do not continue working under branches which have got stuck.
Do not fell trees:
•
If you can longer distinguish details within the danger zone, e.g. owing to fog, rain, snow drifts or twilight.
•
If the direction of fall cannot be reliably estimated owing to wind or gusts of wind. Felling work on sloping
ground, black ice, frozen or dewy ground is safe only if you can get a firm foothold.
To switch off: Pull the plug out of the power socket.
To fell the tree, you must drive a wedge into the back cut. When retreating after making the back cut, watch
out for falling branches.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Always pull the plug out of the power socket before doing any work on the chainsaw!
Keep the cooling vents on the motor housing clean and unobstructed at all times. Only the maintenance
work described in these operating instructions may be carried out. Any other maintenance work must be
carried out by our Customer Service. Do not modify the power saw in any way as this could jeopardize its
safety. Should the chainsaw fall despite our careful manufacturing and inspection procedures, have it
repaired by an authorized Customer Service work-shop. In the event of any inquiries and spare parts orders,
always quote the type designation and the parts number.
Storage
Keep your chain saw in a safe place.
The unused chainsaw should be stored clean, on a flat surface and in
a dry place which is inaccessible to children.
