To avoid kickback:
– Saw with the chain bar at a flat angle.
– Never work with a widely stretched or heavily worn out
saw chain.
– Remove the blunt saw chain.
– Never saw above shoulder height.
– Never work with the tip of the chain.
– Always hold the pruner saw firmly with both hands.
– Always use a Bosch approved low-kickback saw chain.
– Ensure correct chain tension.
Cutting Logs/firewood (see figures I1 and I2)
– To cut logs, use a saw horse standing on a level and firm
surface.
– Saw only wood or wooden objects. When sawing, always
take care to avoid hitting stones, nails, etc., as these
could be thrown up, could cause damage to the chain, or
could result in serious injury to the operator or bystand-
ers.
– Always secure the logs before cutting.

Bosch Power Tools
– Always cut the logs beyond the secured points to prevent
the log from closing in and causing the chain to get
jammed.
– Never allow the saw chain to make contact with the
ground or items of workplace equipment.
– Be careful not to trip over tree stumps, branches, roots,
etc.
– It is not recommended to cut wood larger than the cutting
capacity (130 mm) specified in the technical data .
Limbing a Branch or Tree (see figure J)
– Limbing is removing the small branches from a fallen tree
or large branch.
– Leave larger lower limbs to support the log off the ground.
– Remove the smaller limbs in one cut.
– Be careful when cutting branches/twigs, as these can
spring or bounce back.
– Never use the pruner saw on a ladder or above shoulder
height.
– Sawing is optimized when the chain speed remains
steady during cutting.
