Working technique

Attention! Danger from kickback!
– Kickback may cause fatal cut injuries.
If a kickback occurs, the saw will be suddenly
and uncontrollably thrown towards the user.
– Hold the saw firmly with both hands, ensuring that
your thumbs and fingers clasp the handles on the

chain saw . Move your body and arms into
a position in which they can withstand the
kickback forces.
– Never release the chain saw.
 Switch the chain saw on before starting the cut.
 Apply a uniform pressure to the unit, however not
excessive force.
 If possible, place the unit's tree claw on the
branch which is to be sawn

Felling trees

Warning Risk of accidents!
– Do not fell trees unless you have adequate
experience and have had proper training!
– Only fell trees which have a trunk diameter
less than the sword length of the chain saw.
Warning Direction of fall!
– Select the direction of fall so that you can escape
in the opposite direction
– Ensure that the falling tree cannot become hung
up in other trees.
– When felling trees, consider the following:
– The thick branch formation on one side;
– The natural inclination and bend of the tree;
– The wind direction. Do not fell trees in a strong
wind;
– Damage to wood.
Attention!
Ensure that there are no people or animals in the
danger zone (within the fall area) of the tree.

 Remove branches and large roots, which will
impede felling, from the lower part of the tree.
 Saw a scarf into the trunk
This scarf cut determines the direction in which the
tree will fall and must be 1/4 of the trunk diameter.
 Make the felling cut on the opposite side
of the scarf 
The felling cut must be made 3–5 cm above
the horizontal scarf cut.
