Note: The chainsaw has no protection against
unintentional activation (safety switch (12)).
To switch on:
1. Hold the machine with your left hand on the front
bow handle (7).
2. Hold the machine with your right hand on the
switch handle (14).
3. Hold the handles between thumb and fingers.
Make sure that your left hand is holding the front
bow handle (7) and your thumb is underneath
the bow handle (7).
4. Using your right thumb, press the locking safety
switch (12).
5. With the safety switch (12) pressed in, actuate
the trigger (13) and
6. release the safety switch (12).
Switching off:
To switch off release the trigger (13). (This causes
the safety switch (12) to move back to locking
position.)
7.2 Working with the chainsaw
Before starting work, always check that the
chainsaw is in perfect working order. The
following are particularly important:
- Guide rail fitted correctly
- Sawing chain has the correct tension,
- Chain lubrication works
- Chain brake works properly.
- Never work with a blunt or worn sawing chain.
- Only use the machine when undamaged and
complete.
Before using the machine for the first time, the
operator should conduct a trial by sawing through a
tree trunk on a cutting block or similar object.
Sawing tree trunks, branches and similar
materials
Never attempt to free a jammed saw with the
motor running. Use wooden wedges to free
the sawing chain.
Clamp smaller pieces of wood firmly before sawing.
When sawing, the left arm should
be almost fully extended. Guide the
machine so that body parts are
outside the imaginary "X" line
formed by the guide rail and its
extension.
Place the pronged stop
(5) of the chainsaw
against the wood before
starting the machine by
holding it on the bow
handle (7) and pulling up
the switch handle (14).
If wood is not cut through during a cutting operation,
- apply light pressure to the bow handle (7) and
continue sawing; pull the
- machine back slightly when doing this,
- set the pronged stop (5) deeper (the saw must not
be removed from the cut) and
- end the cut by pulling up the switch handle.
Pull the chainsaw out of the wood only with the
sawing chain running.
To maintain full control of the machine at the actual
"cut-through" point, reduce press-on force towards
the end of the cut without loosening your firm hold
on the chainsaw handles. Ensure that the sawing
chain does not touch the ground. After completing
the cut, switch off the machine, wait for the sawing
chain to come to a stop before removing the
chainsaw. Always switch off the chainsaw before
moving from tree to tree.
When sawing wood which is lying on the ground,
ensure that the guide rail does not touch the ground
because this would cause the sawing chain to
become blunt very quickly.
When sawing on a hillside, always stand above the
tree trunk, as the trunk can roll away.
Cutting a tree trunk to length
This is the process of sawing a felled tree into
sections. Ensure you have good footing and your
body weight is balanced equally over both feet. If
possible, branches, beams or wedges should be
placed under the tree trunk for support. Following
the instructions for "Sawing tree trunks, branches
and similar materials."
When the entire length of the tree trunk is evenly
supported, start sawing from above as already
described.
If the tree trunk is supported at one end only as
shown, first cut through a third of the trunk diameter
from the bottom side, then cut through the
remainder from above level with the undercut.
If the tree trunk is supported at both ends as shown,
first cut through a third of the trunk diameter from the
