tructions below.

If the full length of the tree trunk is evenly suppor-

ted as shown in Fig. 19 then proceed by cutting

from the top down. Take care not to cut into the

ground in the process.

If the weight of the tree trunk is resting on one end

as shown in Fig. 20, ﬁ rst cut through 1/3 of the

trunk diameter from the underside (A) in order to

prevent it from splintering. Make the second cut

from the top (2/3 of the diameter) to the height of

the ﬁ rst cut (B) (this prevents the chainsaw from

being trapped).

If the weight of the tree trunk is resting on both

ends as shown in Fig. 21, ﬁ rst cut through 1/3 of

the trunk diameter from the top (A) in order to pre-

vent it from splintering. Make the second cut from

underneath (2/3 of the diameter) to the height of

the ﬁ rst cut (B) (this prevents the chainsaw from

being trapped).

When working with the saw on a slope, always

position yourself at a higher point on the slope

above the tree as shown in Fig. 15. In order to re-

tain full control at the moment when the cut goes

through, reduce pressure towards the end of the

cut without releasing your ﬁ rm grip on the hand-

les of the chainsaw. Take care to ensure that the

chainsaw does not touch the ground.

After completing the cut, wait for the chain saw to

come to a standstill before removing the chain-

saw. Always switch oﬀ the motor of the chainsaw

before moving from tree to tree.

7.3 Kickback

The term “kickback” describes what happens

when the running chainsaw suddenly kicks up-

ward and backward. Usually, this is caused by

contact between the tip of the cutter rail and the

workpiece or the saw chain becoming trapped.

In the event of kickback, large forces occur sud-

denly and violently. As a result, the chainsaw

usually reacts uncontrollably. This can often result

in very serious injuries to the worker or persons

in the vicinity. The risk of kickback is particularly

great when performing cross cuts, angled cuts

and longitudinal cuts, as it is not possible to use

the claw stop on these cuts. You should therefore

avoid these cuts as far as possible and take parti-

cular care when they are unavoidable.

The risk of kickback is at its greatest when the

saw is positioned for a cut in the region of the tip

of the cutter rail, as the leverage eﬀ ect is greatest

there (Fig. 22). It is therefore safest to position the

saw ﬂ at and as close as possible to the claw stop

before making the cut (Fig. 23).

Warning!

•

Make sure that the chain tension is always

correctly adjusted.

•

Only use a chainsaw if it is in perfect working

order.

•

Only work with a saw chain that has been

properly sharpened in accordance with the

instructions.

•

Never operate the saw above shoulder height.

•

Never cut with the upper edge or the tip of the

sword.

•

Always hold the chainsaw firmly with both

hands.

•

Whenever possible, use the claw stop as a

leverage point.

Cutting wood which is under tension

Special care is required when cutting wood which

is under tension. Wood which is under tension

from which it is released by cutting may in some

cases react completely unpredictably and uncont-

rollably. In the worst case this could result in extre-

mely severe or even fatal injuries (Fig. 24-26).

This type of work must only be performed by per-

sons who have been specially trained.

8. Cleaning, maintenance and

ordering of spare parts

Danger!

•

Remove the battery each time before

cleaning.

•

Never immerse the unit in water or other li-

quids in order to clean it.

8.1 Cleaning

•

Regularly clean the clamping mechanism by

blowing it out with compressed air or cleaning

it with a brush. Do not use tools for cleaning.

•

Keep the handles free of grease so that you

can maintain a firm grip.

•

Clean the device as required with a damp

cloth and, if necessary, mild washing up li-

quid.

•

If the chainsaw is not to be used for an exten-

ded period of time then you should remove

the chain oil from the tank. Briefly immerse

the saw chain and the cutter rail in an oil bath

and then wrap them in oil paper.
