Particular attention must be given when sawing

sidewards, slanted or during length cuts, as the grip-

ping teeth 12 usually can not be applied.

To avoid kickback:

– Saw with the chain bar at a flat angle.

– Never work with a loose, widely stretched or the

heavily worn out chain.

– Ensure chain is sharpened correctly.

– Never saw above shoulder height.

– Never work with the tip of the chain bar.

– Always the hold chain saw firmly with both hands.

– Always use a Bosch low-kickback chain.

– Apply the metal gripping teeth 12 for leverage.

– Ensure correct chain tension.

General Behaviour

Always hold the chain saw firmly with both

hands. Front grip with the left hand and rear grip with

the right hand. Fully grip both handles at all times

during operation. Never operate chain saw using

only one hand. Ensure power cord is located to the

rear, away from the chain and wood and so pos-

tioned that it will not be caught on branches or the

like during cutting.

Use the chain saw only with secure footing. Hold

the chain saw at the right-hand side of your body.

The chain must be running at full speed before it

makes contact with the wood. Use the metal gripping

teeth 12 to secure the saw onto the wood before

starting to cut. Use the gripping teeth as a leverage

point “X” while cutting.

Reset the gripping teeth at a lower point when saw-

ing thicker logs by pulling the chain saw slightly

backwards until the gripping teeth release, and repo-

sition at lower level to continue sawing. Do not re-

move the saw completely from the wood.

Do not force the chain while cutting, let the chain do

the work, using the gripping teeth 12 to apply mini-

mal leverage pressure.

Do not operate the chain saw with arms fully ex-

tended or attempt to saw areas which are difficult to

reach, or on a ladder. Never use the chain saw

above shoulder height.

Sawing is optimized when the chain speed remains

steady during cutting.

Beware when reaching the end of the cut. The

weight of the saw may change unexpectedly as it

cuts free from the wood. Accidents can occur to the

legs and feet.

Always remove the saw from a wood cut while the

saw is running.

Cutting Logs

Observe the following safety instructions:

Support logs so that the face sides at the cut

do not close in against each other, which would re-

sult in the chain being jammed or pinched.

Position and set short logs safely prior to sawing.

Saw only wood or wooden objects. When sawing, al-

ways take care to avoid hitting stones, nails, etc., as

these could be thrown up or cause damage to the

chain or serious injury to the operator or bystanders.

Keep a running saw clear of wire fencing or the

ground.

Use of the saw to thin out branches or bushes is not

approved.

Length cuts must be carried out with care, as lever-

age with the gripping teeth 12 is not possible. Saw at

a flat angle to avoid kickback.

When working on a slope, operate above or to the

side of the trunk or laying tree.

Be careful not to trip over tree stumps, branches,

roots, etc.

Cutting Wood under Tension

There is a high risk of accidents when sawing wood,

branch or trees under tension. Be extremely careful.

Leave saw jobs like these to professionals.

When sawing logs supported on both ends, start the

cut from above (Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into the

log and then finish the cut (Z) from below, in order to

avoid splitting of the log or jamming of the saw.

Avoid contact of the chain saw with the ground.

When sawing logs supported on only one end, start

the cut from below (Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into

the log and finish the cut from above (Z), in order to

avoid log splitting or jamming of the chain saw.

Felling Trees

Always wear hard hat to protect head

against falling branches.

The chain saw can only be used to fell trees

smaller in diameter than the length of the chain

bar.

➊ Secure work area. Ensure no persons or ani-

mals are in the vicinity of the falling tree.

Never attempt to free a jammed saw with the mo-

tor running. Use wooden wedges to free chain

and chain bar.

When cutting and felling operations are being per-

formed by two or more persons, at the same time,

the felling operations should be separated from the

cutting operation by a distance of at least twice the

height of the tree being felled. Trees should not be

felled in a manner that would endanger any person,

strike any utility line or cause any property damage.

If the tree does make contact with any utility line, the

company should be notified immediately.
