DANGER! Risk of injury! When
working with the device, dangerous
rebounds may occur! Severe or even
fatal injuries can be the result! Before
beginning work with the device, the
chain brake must be checked to
ensure that it is functioning correctly.
Avoid letting the area of the saw rail depicted
on the right touch wood or other hard
objects.
Only a careful and correct working method
can reduce the risk of a rebound reliably!
Basic work technique
DANGER! Risk of injury! This sec-
tion treats the basic work technique
when handling the device. The infor-
mation provided here does not
replace the many years of training
and experience of a professional.
Do not perform any work for which
you are not sufficiently qualified!
Thoughtless handling of the device
can cause severe or even fatal inju-
ries!
Before each use
1. Check the switch-on safety lock and start
button to ensure they are functioning cor-
rectly.
2. Check whether all handles are free of oil.
3. Check whether all parts of the device are
present, firmly attached and undamaged.
4. Check the chain catcher for damage.
5. Check the chain tensioning.
Sawing technique
Pulling sawing
With this technique, sawing occurs with the
underside of the saw rail from above down-
wards. The saw chain thus pushes the device
50
forwards away from the user. This way, the
front edge of the device forms a support,
which catches the forces which arise on the
tree trunk when sawing.
With pulling sawing, the user has much more
control over the device and can avoid
rebounds better. Therefore, this is the pre-
ferred sawing technique.
Pushing sawing
With this technique, sawing occurs with the
upper edge of the saw rail from below
upwards. The saw chain thus pushes the
device backwards towards the user. If the
saw rail twists, the device can fly towards the
user with great force.
If the user does not balance out the force of
the saw chain pushing backwards with his or
her bodily force, there is a danger that only
the tip of the saw rail will make contact with
the wood and there will thus be a rebound
(► Risk of rebound! – p. 49).
Removing branches
DANGER! Risk of injury! Tree cut-
ting and delimbing work may only be
performed by trained people! There
is a risk of fatal injury!
Before beginning the tree cutting work, make
sure that:
• there are no people or animals in the fell-
ing area of the branches.
• there is an obstacle-free escape route for
each participant.
• the area around the trunk is free of obsta-
cles (risk of stumbling!).
• Always work on the side opposite the
branch in question.
• Begin at the bottom of the trunk and work
upwards.
