Felling a tree requires a larger
workspace than e.g. trimming.
Never saw with your body in
line with the guide rail and
chain. This reduce the danger
of being hit by the chain on the
head or body during a kick-
back.
Do not move the chainsaw
back and forth but rather let
the chain do the work, keep
the chain sharp and do not try
to push the chain through the
cut.
Do not apply pressure to the
saw at the end of the cut. Be
prepared to relax the load on
the saw when it has cut
through the wood.
Do not stop the chainsaw
while sawing. Let the saw run
until it has finished the saw
cut.
● Familiarize yourself with your
new chainsaw by making simple
cuts in safely supported wood.
Repeat this exercise if you have
not used your chainsaw for a
long time. ● Do not saw vines
and/or bushes with a diameter of
less than 75 mm. ● Switch the
device off, lock the chain brake,
remove the battery pack and
make sure that all moving parts
have stopped moving:
Before cleaning the device or
removing a blockage.
When leaving the device unat-
tended.

Before mounting or removing
attachments.
Before checking, maintaining
or working on the device.
CAUTION ● The chainsaw is
a heavy device. People who use
the chainsaw should be physi-
cally fit and in good health. You
should have good eyesight, agil-
ity, balance and manual skills. In
case of doubt, they should not
use the chainsaw. ● When work-
ing with the device, always wear
a safety helmet with a grille visor
to reduce the danger of injury
from a kickback into the face
and head.
