To operate the product in a tree
WARNING: Most accidents occur when the
operator does not have full control of the
product or the work position.
• Keep a safe work position.
• Cut horizontal sections at hip level and vertical
sections at solar plexus level.
• Hold the product with 2 hands.
• Make sure that you are stable on your feet and keep
a low lateral force when you cut vertical branches.
Steer the safety line through a different connection
point to remove or prevent increasing lateral forces.
You can also use an adjustable strop directly from
the harness to a different connection point.
• Use a foot loop to keep a safe work position.
• Do a check of the harness, belt and ropes at a
regular interval.

• If you must climb with the product, attach the product
to the rear connection point on the harness. The rear
connection point keeps the product clear from
climbing lines and makes sure that the weight has
central support down your spine.
WARNING: You must engage the chain
brake when you lower the product onto
its strop.
To remove a trapped product
1. Stop the product.
2. Attach the product safely to the tree inboard, against
the trunk side, of the cut or a different tool line.
3. Carefully pull the saw away from the kerf while you
lift the branch as necessary.
WARNING: Do not try to pull the product
free. Risk of serious injury.
4. If it is necessary, use a hand saw or a second
chainsaw to release the product. Cut the branch at a
minimum of 30 cm/12 in from the caught product.
Make the cut on the outer end from where the
product is caught.
To use the product in cold weather
Operation problems can occur in conditions with snow
and cold weather. These problems are caused by too
low engine temperature or ice on the air filter and
carburetor.
1. Clothe a part of the air intake on the starter. This
increases the engine temperature.
