If the chainsaw gets stuck while cutting the trunk, never leave it in this position with the motor running. Turn o ff the chainsaw motor,
unplug the chainsaw from the power supply, and use wedges to extract the chainsaw from the trunk.
When cutting a tree that has already been felled into pieces, follow the rules indicated below. Place the wood on the saw-horse or
a stand so the cut piece can freely fall o ff to the ground without causing the chainsaw to jam. If the chainsaw is jammed, proceed
as described above. Do not touch the ground with the chainsaw or allow it to be contaminated with soil.
It is forbidden to use a chainsaw to form hedges or shear bushes.
When working on a slope, stay above the cut wood.
Exercise particular caution when cutting a tensioned tree and entrust this activity to a quali fi ed lumberjack, if possible. When
cutting tensioned wood and supported on both ends, cut it from above to a depth of 1/3 of the diameter, and then fi nish the cut
from the bottom.
If the wood is supported at only one end, cut the wood from the bottom to a depth of 1/3 of the
diameter and then complete the cut by cutting from above (XV).
This will reduce the risk of the chainsaw jamming during cutting.
PRODUCT MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Caution! Before starting any activities described below, disconnect the power saw from the power supply. Disconnect the
mains-powered chainsaws from the socket. In the case of the battery-powered chainsaws, disconnect their battery.
After each use, inspect the condition of the power saw with particular attention to the patency of ventilation openings.
Check the placement of all of the power saw’s components. Tighten all loose screw connections, if any. Check the tension and
condition of the chain. If any damage is observed, replace the chain with a new one. It is forbidden to use the power saw with a
damaged chain!
If the chain is too loose, it may fall from the guide bar, which may cause injury to the person operating the power saw. The chain
must also be properly sharpened, because it requires appropriate experience and tools. It is recommended to carry out sharpen-
ing at specialised service centres. To up any oil shortages in the tank. Clean the power saw’s housing with a soft, dry cloth. Clean
the housing from residues of wood, oil, grease, and other contaminants. The power saw should be stored in a dry, closed room,
disconnected from the mains.
Caution! During storage of the tool, a small amount of oil may escape from the chain lubrication system, this is a normal symptom
and does not a ff ect the oil level in the tank and is not a sign of damage.
Store the power saw in shaded and dry places with appropriate ventilation preventing steam condensation. Such a place should
not be accessible to unauthorised persons, especially children. During storage, the guide bar and chain must always be secured
with a guard.
