10. Using the chainsaw

10.1 Application areas

The chainsaw must only be used to cut wood and

objects made of wood.

Any loose wooden objects must be safely secured

(e.g. on a sawhorse). When cutting down overgrown

trees and branches please refer also to the notes on

cutting down trees and removing branches.

The chainsaw must not be used for any other

purpose, for example to cut plastics or metals.

10.2 Initial use/ start-up behaviour

When switching on the motor for the first five times

prior to commencing work, first operate for a short

time in the mid-speed range without any load until

the engine has warmed up a little.

10.3 Chain lubrication adjusting screw

Your new chainsaw is equipped with an automatic

chain lubrication system which automatically stops

the delivery of oil when the chainsaw is idling (Eco-

Matic). When the throttle is operated and the saw

chain is driven again the chain lubrication

automatically restarts.

To adjust the amount of oil delivered by this system

during operation, the control screw (Fig. 1d - 28) on

the underside of the chainsaw can be adjusted

approximately ± 120° from plus(+) to minus(-).

As a guideline, we recommend that if you are using

38cm cutting gear to cut wood which is still moist

then the mid-position between (+) and (-) is a good

starting point. Adjust the controls to deliver slightly

more oil if you are cutting dry wood.

10.4 Sawing

Always follow the safety instructions when

performing any kind of work with the saw. Always

hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands. Position

your right hand on the rear handle and your left

handle on the front handle.

Cutting to length:

Make sure that you have a secure footing.

Clean the area which is to be cut of any foreign

bodies like sand, stones, nails etc. Foreign bodies

can cause dangerous kickback.

Loose wooden objects must be

firmly secured, ideally with a

sawhorse. The wood must nut be

held in place with a foot or by

another person. Round timber must

be secured so that they cannot

rotate.

Apply full throttle and move the chainsaw close to the

cutting point, position and press the bumper spikes

onto the object you wish to saw (a), then – and not

before – use a pivoting movement (around the point

at which the bumper spikes have been positioned) to

move the guide bar downwards (b) and start the cut.

Important note on cutting branches which are under

tension (e.g. in the forest):

• Always make the first cut on the compression side

c, but be careful as there is a risk of pinching.

• Then proceed carefully and make a cut at the

tension side.

• On thick trunks which are under a lot of tension

offset the cut to one side.

>c= Î Pressure side

=d> Î Tension side

Trunk under tension on the

upper side.

Danger: The tree will spring

back in an upward direction.

Trunk under tension on the

underside:

Danger: The tree will spring

back in a downward direction

Thick trunks and high tension:

Danger: The tree will spring

back suddenly and with

considerable force. Also watch

out for the root clump tipping

back.

Trunk under lateral tension:

Danger: The tree will spring

back to one side

Note: Always stand on the compression side if the

tree is under lateral tension.

If the saw becomes pinched in the cut, stop the

engine and lift the trunk with a bar or other lever, or

change its position to open up the cutting gap.
