remain uphill of the tree to be felled,
as the tree will probably roll or slide
downhill upon felling.
• To keep control at the moment of
“sawing through”, reduce the contact
pressure at the end of the cut without
loosening the firm grip on the chain
-
saw handles. Ensure that the saw
chain does not come into contact with
the ground.
• After completing the cut, wait for the
chainsaw to come to a standstill be-
fore removing the chainsaw.
• Always switch off the chainsaw motor
before moving from one tree to another.
• Lay the connecting lead such that
it will not be caught on branches or
similar during sawing.
• For each cut, apply the claw stop se-
curely and only then start sawing.
•
You have better control when you saw
with the bottom side of the chain bar
(with pulling saw chain) and not to
with the top side of the chain bar (with
pushing saw chain).
• The saw chain must not contact either
the ground or another object during
sawing through or after sawing com-
pletion.
• Make sure that the saw chain does
not become jammed in the wood. Do
not let the tree trunk break or split off.
• Consider also the precautions against
spring-back (see notes on safety).
It is recommended that first-time
users should at least practice
cutting logs on a saw horse or
frame first.
If the saw chain jams, you
do not attempt to pull out the
electric chainsaw using power.
There is a danger of injury here.
Switch off the motor and use a
lever or wedge to free the elec
-
tric chainsaw.

This refers to sawing up a felled tree trunk
into smaller sections.
Ensure that you are in a secure position
and that your body weight is distributed
evenly on both feet. If possible, under-
pin and support the stem with branches,
beams or wedges.
• Ensure that the saw chain does not
come in contact with the ground dur-
ing sawing.
• Make sure you have a secure stance
and, in the case of sloping ground,
stand above the log.
To maintain full control at the mo-
ment of “sawing through”, reduce the
contact pressure at the end of the
cut, without releasing the firm grip on
the chain saw handles. Once cutting
is complete, wait for the saw chain
to come to a standstill before remov-
ing the chain saw from there. Always
switch off the chain saw before chang
-
ing from tree to tree.

1. Log is lying on the ground:
Saw through the log completely
from above and ensure at the
end of the cut not to contact the
ground.
If you can turn the tree trunk,
saw two-thirds of the way
through it.
Then turn the trunk around and
saw the rest of the way through
from above.
