sprocket cover in a counter-clockwise
direction in order to loosen the chain
tension and to remove the sprocket
cover (9).
4. Remove the blade bar (11) and saw
chain (12).
To disassemble, hold the blade bar
(11) tilted upwards at an angle of ap-

Sawing techniques
General information
Observe noise protection rules and
other local regulations when work-
ing with the tool. Local regulations
may require a suitability test. Check
with the forestry administration.
• Dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, clips and
wires must be removed from the tree.
• Always stand above the tree trunk
when sawing on slopes.
• To keep total control while sawing
through, reduce the pressure at the end
of the cut without loosening your grip
on the handles of the garden pruner.

Make sure the saw chain does not
touch the ground. After fi nishing the
cut, wait until the garden pruner comes
to a stop before removing it.
• Always switch off the motor of the gar-
den pruner before changing between
trees.
• You will have better control over the
device if you saw using the lower edge
of the blade bar (chain in pulling direc-
tion).
• The saw chain must not touch the
ground or any object while sawing
through the material or thereafter.
• Ensure that the saw chain does not get
stuck while sawing. The log must not
break or splinter.
• Please also observe the precautionary
measures to protect against kickback
(see the safety information).
• For sawing work on hillsides, always
stand in the area above the log.
To keep total control while sawing

Make sure the saw chain does not
touch the ground. After fi nishing the
cut, wait until the saw chain comes to a
stop before removing it. Always switch
off the motor of the garden pruner be-
fore changing between trees.
If the saw chain gets stuck,
do not attempt to pull out the
device with force. There is a
risk of injury. Turn the motor
off and use a lever arm or
wedge to release the device.
