Bucking

This refers to sawing up a felled tree trunk
into smaller sections.
• Ensure that the saw chain does not come
in contact with the ground during sawing.
• Make sure you have a secure stance
and, in the case of sloping ground,
stand above the log.
• Ensure that you have secure footing and
balance your body weight evenly on
both feet. If possible, the trunk should
be protected and supported by branch-
es, logs or wedges. Follow the simple
instructions for easy sowing.
1. Log is lying on the ground:
Saw through the log completely
from above and ensure at the end
of the cut not to contact the ground.
If you can turn the tree trunk, saw
two-thirds of the way through it.
Then turn the trunk around and
saw the rest of the way through
from above.
2. Log is supported at one end:
Start sawing from the bottom and
work your way up (with the up-
per edge of the bar) a third of the
way into the diameter of the trunk
to prevent splitting. Then saw from
the top downwards with the lower
edge­of­the­bar­towards­the­first­
cut to prevent the bar from becom-
ing­jammed­in­the­wood.
3. Log is supported at both
ends:
Start from the top and work down
(with the lower edge of the bar)
to a third of the diameter of the
trunk. Then saw from underneath
with the upper edge of the bar
until the two cuts meet.

4. Sawing on a sawhorse:
Hold the electric chainsaw steady
with both hands, keeping the
saw in front of you while saw-
ing. Once the saw is through
the wood, guide the machine
passed you on the right (1). Hold
your left arm as straight as you
can (2). Watch out for the falling
trunk. Position yourself to prevent
any danger from the separated
trunk. Watch your feet. The trunk
may­cause­injuries­when­falling.­
Keep your balance (3).
Maintenance and

cleaning

Basically, carry out mainte-
nance and cleaning works
with switched-off motor and
power plug removed. Danger
of injury!
Leave any maintenance and
servicing work not covered
by this manual to our Ser-
vice-Center. Use only original
spare parts.
Allow the machine to cool
down before all maintenance
and cleaning works. Danger
of burn injuries!
Cleaning
• Clean the machine thoroughly after
every use. In this way, you extend the
life of the machine and avoid accidents.
• Keep the gripping handles free of pet-
rol, oil or grease. Clean the gripping
handles, where appropriate, with a
moist cloth soaked in soap. Use no sol-
vents or petrol for cleaning!
