The chainsaw has no protection against uninten-

tional activation.

To switch on:

1. Hold the machine with your left hand on the

handle (8).

2. Hold the machine with your right hand on the

switch handle (1).

3. Using your right thumb, press the locking

button (2) on the left side of the switch handle.

4. With the locking button (2) pressed in, actuate

the trigger (3) and

5. release the locking button (2).

To switch off:

To switch the machine off, let go of the trigger

switch (3). (This causes the locking button (2) to

move back to locking position.)

8.2 Working with the chainsaw

Before starting work, always check that the

chainsaw is in perfect working order. Of

particular importance: correctly mounted cutter,

correct tension of sawing chain, correct func-

tioning of the chain lubrication and perfect opera-

tion of the chain brake. Never work with a blunt or

worn sawing chain.

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.

The extension cable used must be laid such that it

cannot come into contact with the sawing chain.

Lay the extension cable so that it cannot be caught

by branches or similar objects.

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 line "X"

- formed by the cutter and its

extension.

Place the pronged

stop (16) of the

chainsaw against the

wood before starting

the machine by

holding it on the

handle (8) and pulling

up the switch handle

(1).

If wood is not cut through during a cutting

operation,

- apply light pressure to the handle (8) and

continue sawing; pull the

- machine back slightly when doing this,

- set the pronged stop 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, wait until the chainsaw comes

to a standstill before removing it. Always switch off

the chainsaw motor before switching between

trees.

When sawing wood which is lying on the ground,

ensure that the cutter does not touch the ground

because this would cause the sawing chain to

become blunt very quickly.

When performing sawing jobs on a slope, always

stand above the tree trunk, since the trunk may roll

away (see figure).

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 diam-

eter from the bottom side, then cut through the

remainder from above level with the undercut.
