Never carry out sawing work on sloping ground.
Important information
• Only saw one trunk or branch at a time.
• Be careful when cutting splintered wood. You could
be hit by sharp wood particles.
• Cut small trunks or branches on a metal work tres-
tle. When cutting trunks, no other person shall hold
the trunk. Do not secure the trunk with your leg or
foot either.
• Do not use the chainsaw for places where trunks,
roots and other tree parts are intertwined. Pull the
trunks to a free spot, taking the exposed trunks first.
Various cuts for trunk division (fig. D)
m CAUTION
If the chainsaw gets jammed in a trunk, do not pull
it out by force. You can lose control of the device
and cause serious injury and/or damage the chain-
saw. Stop the chainsaw and drive a plastic or wood-
en wedge into the cut until the chainsaw can be easi-
ly pulled out. Leave the chainsaw on again and care-
fully reapply the cut. Never start the chainsaw when
it is jammed in a trunk.
Top cut (Fig. E, Pos. 1)
Start at the top of the trunk for sawing, holding the
chainsaw against the trunk. Apply only light down-
ward pressure to the top cut.
Undercut (Fig. E, Pos. 2)
Set for undercutting on the underside of the trunk,
holding the top of the chainsaw against the trunk.
When undercutting, only exert a slight upward pull.
Hold the chainsaw well to be able to control the de-
vice. The chainsaw pushes backwards (towards you).
m CAUTION
Never hold the chainsaw upside down for an undercut.
In this position you have no control over the device. Al-
ways make the first cut on the compression side of the
trunk. The compression side of a trunk is where the
pressure of the trunk weight is concentrated.
Trunk division without nozzles (Fig. F)
• Make a top cut into the tree at an angle of 1/3
(item 1).
• Turn the trunk over and cut a second top cut (item 2).
• When cutting on a compression side, be careful
not to trap the chainsaw. See the figure for cuts in
trunks on the compression side.
Trunk division with stem or support (fig. G-H)
• Remember to always make the first cut (item 1) on
the side of the trunk that is under the most strain.
• To do this, cut into the trunk over 1/3 of the way.
• Make the second cut (item 2).
Limbing and bucking
m CAUTION
Always take care and protect yourself from kick-
back. Never allow the running saw chain at the tip of
the guide rail to come into contact with other branch-
es or objects when limbing or pruning. Such contact
can cause serious injury.
m CAUTION
Never climb into the tree to limb or buck. Do not
stand on ladders, platforms, etc. You could lose your
balance and control of the device.
Important information
• Work slowly and hold the chainsaw firmly with both
hands. Ensure a secure standing position and bal-
ance.
• Watch out for tree parts that snap back. Be ex-
tremely careful when cutting small parts of the
tree. Pliable material can get caught in the saw
chain and fly towards you or throw you off balance.
• Watch out for tree parts that snap back. This is
especially true for bent or loaded branches. Avoid
coming into contact with the branch or the chain-
saw when the tension of the wood gives way.
• Keep your work area clear. Clear the path of
branches so as not to trip over them.
Delimbing
• Do not prune a tree until it has been felled. Only
then can you prune safely and properly.
• Leave the larger branches under the felled tree
and use them as a prop while you continue work-
ing.
• Start at the base of the felled tree and work your
way up to the top. Remove smaller parts of the tree
in a single cut.
• When doing so, always make sure to leave the tree
between you and the chainsaw.
• Remove larger, supporting branches using the
methods described in the section "Trunk division
without supports".
• Always remove small, free-hanging tree parts with
a top cut. An undercut could cause them to fall into
or jam the chainsaw.
Bucking (fig. K)
m CAUTION
Only buck branches at or below shoulder height.
Never cut branches above shoulder height. Leave
such work to a professional.
