10.4.1 Limbing work in sections
Shorten long or thick branches before making the nal cut (see g. H). Otherwise the saw
chain (17) can easily jam.
11. Working on tensioned wood
It is essential to follow the correct sequence when working on wood that is tensioned. Oth-
erwise the saw chain (17) may jam or kick-back may occur.
Tensioned wood must always be cut on the compressed side rst. Only then perform the
separating cut using the opposite side.
This prevents the saw chain (17) from jamming.
m ATTENTION
Property damage!
Lying wood must not touch the ground on the underside of the cutting point, otherwise the
saw chain (17) may be damaged.
Recoil (g. I)
• If the saw chain (17) jams on the top edge of the guide bar (16), the chainsaw can jerk back
suddenly in the direction of the operator in an uncontrolled manner.
Pull in (g. J)
• If the saw chain (17) jams on the bottom edge of the guide bar (16), the chainsaw can jerk
forward suddenly away from the operator in an uncontrolled manner.
Safe work
• Keep the device in good working order to prevent injuries.
• After dropping the device, check for signicant damage or defects.
• Do not use the device whilst standing on a ladder or in an unsafe position.
• Do not be tempted to make a rash cut. This could endanger yourself and others.
• Change your working position regularly. Prolonged use of the device can lead to vibra-
tion-induced circulatory disorders of the hands. However, you can extend the duration
of use by wearing suitable gloves or taking regular breaks. Be aware that personal pre-
disposition to poor circulation, low outside temperatures or large gripping forces when
working reduce the duration of use.
11.1 Wooden branch is bent downwards
• First saw relief cut 1 (approx. 1/3 of the branch diameter) on the compressed side (see g.
K).
• Then make cut 2 (approx. 2/3 of the branch diameter) on the tensioned side (see g. K).
