• Change your working position regularly. Prolonged
use of the product can lead to vibration-induced
circulatory disorders of the hands. However, you
can extend the duration of use by wearing suitable
gloves or taking regular breaks. Be aware that per-
sonal predisposition to poor circulation, low out-
side temperatures or large gripping forces when
working reduce the duration of use.

13.3.6 Delimbing (Fig. 1)
WARNING
Danger of injury!
Many accidents happen during delimbing.
– Hold the product firmly with both hands and
guide the product in front of your body while
sawing.
– Do not lean too far forward during operation.
– Never saw off branches when standing on the
tree trunk.
– Keep an eye on the kick-back area if branches
are tensioned.
Delimbing is the term for removing branches and twigs
from a tree.
• Remove supporting branches only after cutting to
length.
• Tensioned branches must be sawn from the bot-
tom upwards to prevent the product from jamming.
• Work to the left of the trunk and as close as possi-
ble to the product. If possible, let the weight of the
product rest on the trunk.
• Change your position to cut branches on the other
side of the trunk.
• Branched boughs are cut to length individually.
• When delimbing, leave larger downward branches
that support the tree for the time being. Separate
smaller branches with one cut.
• Remove the branches hanging downwards by mak-
ing the cut above the branch.
• Never delimb above shoulder height.
• Always be aware of the danger of branches snap-
ping back.

• Avoid making contact with the rail tip of the guide
rail.
• Never saw several branches at once.
• Support the chainsaw with the claw stop (14) when
delimbing, if possible.
• Make sure that at the end of the cut the chainsaw
can swing through under its own weight. It is no
longer supported in the cut so hold it securely.
• Take a firm, stable and secure stance when de-
limbing.
13.3.6.1 Delimbing in sections (Figs. 1, 15, 16)
