Caution:
• Make sure that the chain tension is always correctly adjusted.
• Only use a chainsaw if it is in perfect working order.
• Only work with a saw chain that has been properly sharpened in accordance with the
instructions.
• Never operate the saw above shoulder height.
• Never cut with the upper edge or the tip of the sword.
• Always hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands.
• Whenever possible, use the claw stop as a leverage point.
Cutting wood which is under tension
Special care is required when cutting wood which is under tension. Wood which is under
tension from which it is released by cutting may in some cases react completely unpredictably
and uncontrollably. In the worst case this could result in extremely severe or even fatal
injuries (Fig. 24-26). This type of work must only be performed by persons who have been
specially trained.
