Watch out for spring backs. Use extreme caution
when cutting small size limbs. Pliable material
may catch in the saw chain and be whipped
toward you or pull you off balance.
Watch out for spring backs. This is especially
•
true for branches that are bent or under pressure.
Avoid coming in contact with the branch or the
saw when there is tension in the wood.
Keep your work area clear. Keep the path clear
•
of branches to avoid tripping over them.
Lopping (Fig.J)
•
Lopping means removing branches from the
felled tree.
•
Leave the larger limbs that are underneath the
felled tree, and use them as support while you
continue to work.
Start at the base of the felled tree and work your
•
way up to the top. Remove smaller parts of the
tree with a cut in the direction of growth (arrows
Fig. J).
Be sure to keep the tree between you and the saw.
•
•
Remove larger, supporting branches using
the methods in the section „Bucking without
restraints".
Always cut branches under tension from the
•
underneath to the top, so the saw does not
become trapped.
Always cut small and freely hanging limbs with
•
one cut. By undercutting they could fall in and
pinch the saw.
Trimming (Fig. I)
Attention: Leave stubs in branches or below cut
them to shoulder level only. Never cut branches
above shoulder height. Leave such work to an expert.
Make the first cut (Item 1) 1/3 in the bottom of
•
the limb.
Then cut the second section (Item 2) all the way
•
through the branch. The third section (item 3) is
a general section that allows you to separate the
branch at 2.5 to 5 cm from the trunk.
Sawing on a slope (Fig. K)
When sawing on a slope, make sure you always
stand higher than the tree trunk (Fig. K). In order to
maintain complete control at the moment of "sawing
through", reduce pressure towards the end of the
cut without releasing your tight grip on the handles
of the chainsaw.
Warning!: The saw chain must not come in contact
with the ground..
After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to
come to a standstill before removing the chainsaw.
Always turn off the chainsaw's motor when going
from one tree to the next.
10. Maintenance
Always pull the plug out of the power socket before
doing any work on the chainsaw!

• Keep the cooling vents on the motor housing clean
and unobstructed at all times.
• Only the maintenance work described in these
operating instructions may be carried out. Any
other maintenance work must be carried out by our
Customer Service.
• Do not modify the power saw in any way as this
could jeopardize its safety.
• Should the chainsaw fail despite our careful
manufacturing and inspection procedures, have it
repaired by an authorized Customer Service work-shop.
Filling in chain oil
To prevent dirt getting inside the tank, clean the oil
tank cap (21) before opening. Check the contents of
the oil tank during sawing work by checking the oil
gauge (15). Close the oil tank cap tightly and wipe
away any spills.
Sharpening the saw chain
You can have your saw chain sharpened fast and
correctly by specialist dealers, from whom you can
also obtain chain sharpening equipment to enable
you to sharpen the chain yourself.
