stones, fences, nails, etc. These objects could be thrown away and injure the user or
bystanders or damage the saw chain.
Before cutting, clear the work area of unwanted branches and undergrowth. Then create
a retreat area, away from the place where cut branches may fall, and remove all
obstacles there. Keep the work area clear, remove the cut branches immediately. Place
all other tools and devices at a safe distance from the branches to be cut, but not in the
retraction area.
Always observe the condition of the tree. Look for rot and decay in the roots and
branches. If they are rotten on the inside, they may unexpectedly break off and fall off
during pruning. Also, look for broken and dead branches that could be loosened by the
shock and fall down on you. If the branches are very thick or heavy, first make a small
incision under the branch before working from top to bottom to prevent breakage.
To reduce severe or fatal injuries from falling objects,
never cut vertically above your body. Hold the chain
saw at an angle of no more than 60° from the
horizontal (see illustration). Objects may fall in
unexpected directions. Never stand directly under the
branch you are cutting.
Watch out for falling branches! Immediately step
aside and keep a sufficient distance from the falling
wood as soon as a cut branch begins to break off.
Always pull the device out of the cutting gap while the chain is running to prevent the
saw from jamming. Do not exert pressure when you reach the end of a sawing
operation. This can cause the guide bar and the running saw chain to jump out of the
cutting gap uncontrollably, which in turn can hit other objects.
If the guide bar is jammed in a branch so that the chain cannot move any further, switch
off the saw and carefully move the branch to open the gap and release the bar.
