dle (13).
2. Connect the equipment to the mains.
3. Hold the saw firmly with both hands,
with the right hand on the operating
handle and the left hand on the round
handle. Thumbs and fingers must be
firmly around the handles
(see picture
4. To switch on, operate the start

Operation
Working safety
•
Observe the specified working angle
in order to guarantee safe working.
•
Work vigilantly and endanger nobody
when sawing. Work calmly and con-
siderately.
•
Ensure a safe stance without being
hampered by branches, stones and
trees. Do not use the equipment when
standing on a ladder. Always keep the
cutting gear in view when working.
•
On a slope, always stand above or to
the side of the branch to be sawn.
•
Work only in adequate visibility and
light conditions.
•
Hold the equipment as close to the
body as possible. This gives you the
best balance.

).
•
Always hold the equipment firmly with
both hands.
•
Carry the equipment by the telescopic
handle with the cutting device pointing
backward. Attach the chain guard for
transporting the equipment (see
Sawing techniques
Be strictly aware of the risk from
rebound and from branches fall-
ing or lying on the ground.
Sawing off small branches:
•
Apply the impact surface of the saw
to the branch in order to avoid sud-
den movements of the saw at the start
of cutting. Guide the saw downward
through the branch with slight pres-
sure from above. Be mindful of pre-
mature breaking of the branch if you
have misjudged the size and weight.
•
Sawing off larger branches:
For controlled sawing in the case of
larger branches, start by selecting a
relief cut. To do this, saw a notch (a)
in the lower third of the branch (with
the top side of the blade). Then saw
towards the first cut (b) from top to
bottom (with the bottom side of the
blade).
