• Change your working position regularly. Prolonged
use of the device can lead to vibration-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 per-
sonal predisposition 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 di-
ameter) on the compressed side (see g. K).
• Then make cut 2 (approx. 2/3 of the branch diame-
ter) on the tensioned side (see g. K).
11.2 Wooden branch is bent upwards
• First saw relief cut 1 (approx. 1/3 of the branch di-
ameter) on the compressed side (see g. K).
• Then make cut 2 (approx. 2/3 of the branch diame-
ter) on the tensioned side (see g. K).
12. Transport
• Always use the guide bar cover (27) when trans-
porting.
• Switch o the chainsaw before any transport, even
over short distances. Secure the machine against
tipping over during transport (including in vehicles)
to prevent fuel loss, damage or injury.
• Carry the device only by the front handle (2). In do-
ing so, the guide bar points backwards, away from
your body (see g. L).
• Keep the hot silencer away from your body. There
is a risk of burns!
13. Cleaning and maintenance
m WARNING
Risk of injury!
Always switch o the device and disconnect the spark
plug connector (33) before cleaning.
(see chapter 13.4 Spark plug maintenance).
Note
The device should be thoroughly cleaned after each
use.
Only carry out cleaning and maintenance work to the
extent specied in this operating manual. Further work
must be carried out by qualied specialists.
Maintenance work must be carried out regularly (see
chapter “Maintenance intervals”).
10.4 Delimbing work
• Always be aware of the danger of branches snap-
ping back.
• Do not stand on the trunk when delimbing.
• Do not saw with the tip of the guide bar.
• Never saw several branches at once.
• Support the chainsaw with the claw stop (15) when
delimbing, if possible.
• Make sure that at the end of the cut the chainsaw
can swing through under its own weight. It is no
longer supported in the cut so hold it securely.
• Take a rm, stable and secure stance when delimb-
ing.
10.4.1 Delimbing 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. Otherwise the saw
chain (17) may jam or kick-back may occur.
Tensioned wood must always be cut on the com-
pressed 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 under-
side 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 dam-
age 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.
