Checking the oil automatic
system
Check the oil level and the oil automatic
system before commencement of work.
• Switch on the chainsaw and hold it
above a bright background. The saw
must not touch the ground.
If an oil trace can be seen, the chainsaw
is working trouble-free.
Oils can become viscous in cold
weather.
If no trace of oil appears, it may
be necessary to clean the oil out-
let channel or to have the electric
chainsaw repaired by our customer
service.

Sawing techniques

General

Observe the noise protection and
local regulations when cutting
wood. Local requirements may
require a suitability test. Ask the for-
estry commission.
• Dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples
and wire must be removed from the tree.
• For sawing work on a slope, always
stand above the tree trunk.
• To keep control at the moment of
"sawing through", reduce the contact
pressure at the end of the cut without
loosening the firm grip on the chain-
saw handles. Ensure that the saw
chain does not come into contact with
the ground.
• After completing the cut, wait for the
chainsaw to come to a standstill be-
fore removing the chainsaw.
• Always switch off the chainsaw motor
before moving from one tree to an-
other.
• Lay the connecting lead such that
it will not be caught on branches or
similar during sawing.
• For each cut, apply the claw stop se-
curely and only then start sawing.
• You have better control when you saw
with the bottom side of the chain bar
(with pulling saw chain) and not to
with the top side of the chain bar (with
pushing saw chain).
• The saw chain must not contact either
the ground or another object during
sawing through or after sawing com-
pletion.
• Make sure that the saw chain does not
become jammed in the wood. Do not
let the tree trunk break or split off.
• Consider also the precautions against
spring-back (see notes on safety).
If the saw chain jams, you
do not attempt to pull out the
electric chainsaw using power.
There is a danger of injury here.
Switch off the motor and use a
lever or wedge to free the elec-
tric chainsaw.

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.
