from the mains
2. Lay the saw on a flat surface.
3. Turn the fastening bolt (14) anti-

to remove the sprocket
A
chain wheel covering (15).
4. Remove the saw bar (4) and saw
chain (
A
bar (4), raise it to an angle of ap-
prox. 45 degrees. This will make
it easier to take the saw chain (5)
off the sprocket

the tensioning plate pointing out-
wards (24).

Sawing techniques

General

• You have better control when you saw
with the bottom side of the chain bar
(with pulling saw chain) and not to with
the top side of the chain bar (with push-
ing saw chain).
• The saw chain must not contact either
the ground or another object during
sawing through or after sawing comple-
tion.
• Make sure that the saw chain does not
become jammed in the wood. Do not
let the tree trunk break or split off.
• Consider also the precautions against
spring-back (see notes on safety).

If the saw chain jams, you
do not attempt to pull out the
electric chainsaw using pow-
er. There is a danger of injury
here. Switch off the motor
and use a lever or wedge to
free the electric chainsaw.

Felling trees

A lot of experience is nec-
essary in felling trees. Cut
down trees only when you
can safely handle the electric
chainsaw. In no case should
you use the electric chainsaw
if you feel unsure about any-
thing.
For safety reasons, we advise inex-
perienced users not to fell any logs
with a rail length which is smaller
than the trunk diameter.
• Ensure that no people or animals are
in the field of action. The safety dis-
tance between the tree to be felled and
the nearest-located workplace must be
2 1/2 tree lengths.
• Note the felling direction:
The user must be able to move safely
near the felled tree, to saw off the tree
easily and remove branches.It is to be
avoided that the felled tree snags itself
on another tree. Note the natural fell-
ing direction, which is dependent on
the slope and curvature characteristic
of the tree, wind direction and the
number of branches.
• In the case of sloping ground, stand
above the tree to be felled.
• Small trees, with a diameter of 15-18
cm, can usually be sawn off with one
cut.
