WARNING!
If the guide bar tilts, the device may be jerked towards the user with great force. If the user does not
balance the backward force of the saw chain with their body strength, there is a risk that only the tip of the
guide bar will remain in contact with the wood and kickback will occur.
Risk of death or serious injuries!
FELLING A TREE
Risk of injury!
Felling and branch removal work may only be performed by trained personnel! There is a risk of life
threatening injuries!
Before starting felling work, make sure that:
• no bystanders or animals are in the felling area (A).
• a clear evacuation route, free of obstacles, is
available to all participants. Withdrawal (B) takes
place at an oblique angle to the felling direction.
• the area around the trunk is clear of obstacles (risk
of tripping!).
• the nearest workplace is at least 2½ trunk lengths away. Before felling, check the felling direction of the tree and
make sure that no obstacles, persons or animals are within a distance of 2½ tree lengths.
Tree felling takes place in two steps:
• Saw a felling sink in the trunk of around one third of its diameter, on
the side of the felling direction (1).
• On the opposite side (2) make the felling cut, which must be slightly
higher than the felling sink (approx. 3–5 cm).
Risk of injury!
Never saw fully through the trunk. The area (C) serves as a
“hinge” and ensures the correct felling direction.
During felling, only stand to the side of the tree you intend to
fell! There is a risk of life-threatening injuries!
TRUNKS LYING FLAT ON THE GROUNDS
• Cut around halfway through the trunk, then turn it over and saw through
the other side.
Damage to the device! Ensure that the guide bar does not come
into contact with the ground when sawing through a tree trunk!

Fallen trunks
We recommend supporting trunks on a sawhorse when sawing through them. If this is not possible,
the trunk should be lifted with the aid of supporting boughs or with support blocks and supported.
