Electric Chain Saw

► Always guide the saw from above down-
wards through the wood.
When removing the branches from trunks
which are lying down, first saw off the free
branches sticking up in the air. Only saw off
supporting branches when the trunk is sawed
in lengths.
DANGER!
Risk of injury!
Branches that are high up or under tension
can wedge the saw chain in the wood!
Cleaning and maintenance
DANGER!
Risk of injury!
Before any maintenance or cleaning work:
– Pull out the plug.
– Let the device cool down.
DANGER!
In the interest of your own safety!
Only perform the maintenance work described
here yourself.
Any other work, especially motor maintenance
and repairs must be performed by a trained
professional. Improper work can cause dam-
age to the device and thus also injuries.
Cleaning the oil guide groove of
the saw rail
NOTICE!
Device damage!
Use only a plastic spatula to clean the saw
guide, never a steel tool.
– Remove the saw guide.
– Clean dirt and oil from the guide groove of
the guide bar with a suitable tool.
Retensioning the saw chain
– Loosen the fastening bolt by approxi-
mately one turn.
– Lift the tip of the saw bar slightly.
– Tighten the Chain Adjustment Ring for
chain tension until the chain lies on the un-
derside of the saw rail.
Lubricating chain wheel
The bearing of the chain wheel should be
regularly lubricated at the front-end of the rail.
About 1× in a week in case of intensive use.
– Clean the lubrication hole.
– Apply little multi purpose grease in the lu-
brication hole, while moving the chain with
hand.
Sharpening the saw chain
DANGER!
Danger of death!
A worn or improperly sharpened chain can
The felling of a tree occurs in two steps:
► Notch the trunk by approximately one-
third of its diameter on the felling direc-
tion side.
► On the other side, make the felling cut,
which must be somewhat higher than the
felling notch (approx. 3-5 cm).
DANGER!
Risk of injury!
Never saw the tree trunk completely through.
The area serves as a “hinge” and ensures a
defi ned felling direction.
DANGER!
Risk of injury!
When felling, stand only to the side of the tree
to be felled!
There is a risk of fatal injuries!
Trunks lying fl at on the ground
– Cut into the trunk halfway, then turn over
and saw through from the opposite side.
NOTICE!
Device damage!
Make sure that the saw rail does not touch
the ground while you are sawing through the
trunk!
Propped-up trunks
We recommend that you place trunks to be
sawed through on sawhorses. If this is not
possible, the trunk should be lifted with the
help of supporting branches and placed over
trestles.
In area A, fi rst cut through approximately one
third of the trunk diameter from above down
wards, then make the final cut from below
upwards. In area B, first cut through approx
imately one third of the trunk diameter from
below upwards, then saw through from above.
DANGER!
Risk of injury!
Do not saw any trunks under tension!
Splintering wood or a twisted saw rail can
cause extremely severe injuries!
Removing branches
► Always work on the side opposite the
branch in question.
► Begin at the bottom of the trunk and work
upwards.
