♦ Leave around 1/10 of the tree diameter, the hinge C , in front of the
felling cut B .
The hinge
C
guides the tree to the ground – like a door hinge – and
prevents premature falling.
RISK OF ACCIDENTS!
► Do not saw the hinge C at the same time as the felling cut B , other-
wise the tree could fall in an unexpected direction!
► Be prepared that the tree can slip uncontrollably when it falls onto
the cut.
► Be prepared that the tree can jump uncontrollably in an unexpected
direction when it hits the ground.
♦ To prevent the chainsaw from getting caught in the felling cut B , push
aluminium or plastic wedges into the cut B . Do not use iron wedges.
CAUTION! PROPERTY DAMAGE!
► Make sure that the wedge does not come into contact with the saw
chain . This can severely damage it.
Branch removal
■ Be aware of the danger of branches flying back.
■ Do not stand on the trunk while removing branches.
■ Do not saw with the tip of the blade.
■ Never saw several branches at once.
■ Support the chainsaw where possible using the bumper spike .
■ Make sure that the chainsaw cannot swing through at the end of the
cut due to its own weight. If it is no longer supported in the cut, hold
something appropriate against it.
■ Make sure you have firm, stable and secure footing when de-branching.
Saw in sections
♦ Trim long or thick branches before you make the final cut (see fold-out
page fig. K).
Otherwise, the saw chain can easily catch.
Working with wood that is under tension
It is important to carry out the working steps in the correct order when
working with wood that is under tension. Otherwise the saw chain
could jam or there could be a kickback.
Wood under pressure should always be worked first on the 'push' side.
Only then can a separating cut be made on the 'pull' side.
This helps to prevent the saw chain
from jamming.
CAUTION! PROPERTY DAMAGE!
► Horizontal lumber may not touch the ground on the underside of the
cut, otherwise the saw chain
could be damaged.
Trunk is bent downwards
♦ Start by making a relief cut 1 (approx. 1/3 of the trunk diameter) on
the push side (see fold-out page fig. I).
♦ Then make a separating cut 2 (approx. 2/3 of the trunk diameter) on
the pull side (see fold-out page fig. I).
Trunk is bent upwards
♦ Start by making a relief cut 1 (approx. 1/3 of the trunk diameter) on
the push side (see fold-out page fig. I).
♦ Then make a separating cut 2 (approx. 2/3 of the trunk diameter) on
the pull side (see fold-out page fig. I).
Kickback (see fold-out page fig. G)
■ If the saw chain jams on the upper edge of the guide rail , the
chainsaw can kick back violently towards the operator.
Drawing in (see fold-out page fig. H)
■ If the saw chain jams on the lower edge of the guide rail , the rail
can jerk violently away from the operator (see fold-out page fig. H).
Working safely
■ Keep the appliance in good working order to prevent injury.
■ If the appliance has been dropped, check for significant damage or
defects.
■ Do not use the appliance while standing on a ladder or with unsteady
footing.
■ Do not be tempted into making a poorly considered cut.
You could endanger yourself and others.
■ Change your working position regularly. Using the appliance for a long
time can lead to vibration-related circulation disorders of the hands.
You can extend the usage duration by using appropriate gloves or by
taking regular breaks. Note that any personal predisposition to poor
blood circulation, low external temperatures or large prehensile forces
can reduce the usage period.
Cleaning and maintenance
RISK OF INJURY!
► Always switch off the appliance before cleaning and disconnect the
spark plug connector .
NOTE
► Clean the appliance thoroughly after every use.
► Carry out the cleaning and maintenance work only as described in
these instructions. Any more extensive work has to be carried out
by specialist personnel.
► Maintenance work must be carried out regularly (see section
"Maintenance intervals").
Cleaning the engine unit
RISK OF INJURY!
► RISK OF BURNS! Do not touch the hot exhaust silencer, cylinder or
cooling fins.
■ Keep all protective equipment, air vents and the engine housing as free
of dust and dirt as possible. Blow it out with low-pressure compressed
air.
■ Clean the appliance regularly with a damp cloth and a mild detergent.
Make sure that no water can penetrate into the interior of the appliance.
