remove the sprocket chain wheel
covering (15).
4. Remove the saw bar (4) and saw
chain (5). To remove the guide
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 (25).
5. Loosen the screw (28) on the
reverse side of the tension ad-
justment screw (24). Re-install the
tension adjustment screw (24) in
reverse order.
In doing so, ensure that the tensi-
on adjustment screw bolt (29), as
shown in Figure
(see also "turn blade"
6. To fit the new bar,
(4) onto the bar bolt (23) with
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
pushing saw chain).
• The saw chain must not contact either the
ground or another object during sawing
through or after sawing completion.
• 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

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 ½ 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.
• In case of trees with a larger diameter,
a notched cut and a back cut must be
implemented (see diagram ).
