10.1 General
Observe noise protection and local regulations when
working with the product. Local regulations may require
a suitability test. Check with the forestry administration.
• Dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire must
be removed from the tree.
• Always stand above the tree trunk when sawing on
slopes.
• In order to maintain full control at the moment of cut-
ting all the way through, reduce the pressing force
towards the end of the cut, without loosening your
firm grip of the handles of the pruning saw. Ensure
that the saw chain does not come into contact with
the ground. After completing the cut, wait for the
pruning saw to stop before removing the pruning
saw.
• Always switch off the pruning saw's motor before
moving from one work site to the next.
• You have better control when you saw with the under-
side of the bar (with a pulling chain).
• The saw chain must not touch the ground or any oth-
er object during or after sawing.
• Ensure that the saw chain does not become jammed
in the saw cut. The tree trunk must not break or
splinter.
• Also observe the precautions against kick-back (see
safety instructions).
• Always stand above the tree trunk when sawing on
slopes. Ensure that the saw chain does not come
