Practiseusingthesaw(sawinglogs
onasawhorse)andgetanexperi-
enceduseroraspecialisttoexplain
toyouthefunctionofthesaw,the
wayofworking,thetechniquesof
sawingandthepersonalprotection
equipment.
 Observenoisecontrolandlocal
regulations.
 Caution!Whenusingpowertools,
observethefollowingbasicsafety
measuresforthepreventionofelec-
tricshocksandtheriskofinjuryand
re.Thereisariskofinjury!
General safety instructions for
power tools
WARNING! Read all safety direc-
tions and instructions.
Omissions in the compliance with
safety directions and instructions
can cause electrical shock, re
and/or severe injuries.
Retain all safety directions and instruc-
tions for future use.
The term “Power Tools” used in the safety
instructions refers to mains-operated pow-
er tools (with power cord) and to battery-
operated power tools (without power cord).
Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit.
Clutteredordarkareasinviteacci-
dents.
• Do not operate power tools in ex-
plosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of ammable Iiquids, gas-
es or dust.Powertoolscreatesparks
whichmayignitethedustorfumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.Dis-
tractionscancauseyoutolosecontrol.
Electrical safety
• Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power
tools.Unmodiedplugsandmatch-
ingoutletswillreduceriskofelectric
shock
• Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
Thereisanincreasedriskofelec-
tricshockifyourbodyisearthedor
grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions.Waterentering
apowertoolwillincreasetheriskof
electricshock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplug-
ging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or mov-
ing parts.Damagedorentangledcords
increasetheriskofelectricshock.
• When operating a power tool out-
doors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use.Useofacord
suitableforoutdoorusereducesthe
riskofelectricshock.
• If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply.UseofanRCD
reducestheriskofelectricshock.

Power tool use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your ap-
plication.Thecorrectpowertoolwill
dothejobbetterandsaferattherate
forwhichitwasdesigned.
• Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off.
Anypowertoolthatcannotbecontrol-
ledwiththeswitchisdangerousand
mustberepaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the pow-
er source and/or the battery pack
from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing acces-
sories, or storing power tools.Such
preventivesafetymeasuresreduce
theriskofstartingthepowertoolac-
cidentaIly.
• Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to oper-
ate the power tool.Powertoolsare
dangerousinthehandsofuntrained
users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before
use.Manyaccidentsarecausedby
poorlymaintainedpowertools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properlymaintainedcuttingtoolswith
sharpcuttingedgesarelessIikelyto
bindandareeasiertocontrol.
• Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use
Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are do-
ing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or
under the inuence of drugs, alco-
hol or medication.Amomentofinat-
tentionwhiteoperatingpowertools
mayresultinseriouspersonalinjury.
• Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.Protec-
tiveequipmentsuchasdustmask,anti-
slipsafetyshoes,hardhat,orhearing
protectionusedforappropriatecondi-
tionswillreducepersonalinjuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-po-
sition before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool.Carrying
powertoolswithyourngeronthe
switchorenergisingpowertoolsthat
havetheswitchoninvitesaccidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power
tool on.Awrenchorakeyleftat-
tachedtoarotatingpartofthepower
toolmayresultinpersonalinjury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
Thisenablesbettercontrolofthe
powertoolinunexpectedsituations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from mov-
ing parts. Looseclothes,jewelleryor
longhaircanbecaughtinmovingparts.
• If devices are provided for the con-
nection of dust extraction and col-
lection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.Use
ofdustcollectioncanreducedust-
relatedhazards.

ofthepowertoolforoperationsdiffer-
entfromthoseintendedcouldresultin
ahazardoussituation.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by
a qualied repair person using
only identical replacement parts.
Thiswillensurethatthesafetyofthe
powertoolismaintained.
Chain saw safety warnings:
• Keep all parts of the body away
from the saw chain when the chain
saw is operating. Before you start
the chain saw, make sure the saw
chain is not contacting anything.A
momentofinattentionwhiteoperating
chainsawsmaycauseentanglement
ofyourclothingorbodywiththesaw
chain.
• Always hold the chain saw with
your right hand on the rear handle
and your left hand on the front
handle.Holdingthechainsawwitha
reversedhandcongurationincreases
theriskofpersonalinjuryandshould
neverbedone.
• Wear safety glasses and hear-
ing protection. Further protective
equipment for head, hands, legs
and feet is recommended.Adequate
protectiveclothingwillreduceperson-
alinjurybyyingdebrisoraccidentaI
contactwiththesawchain.
• Do not operate a chain saw in a
tree.Operationofachainsawwhite
upinatreemayresultinpersonalin
jury.
• Always keep proper footing and
operate the chain saw only when
standing on xed, secure and level
surface.Slipperyorunstablesurfaces
suchasladdersmaycausealossof
balanceorcontrolofthechainsaw.
• When cutting a branch that is un-
der tension be alert for spring back.
Whenthetensioninthewoodbresis
releasedthespringloadedIimbmay
striketheoperatorand/orthrowthe
chainsawoutofcontrol.
• Use extreme caution when cutting
brush and saplings.Theslender
materialmaycatchthesawchainand
bewhippedtowardyouorpullyouoff
balance.
• Carry the chain saw by the front
handle with the chain saw switched
off and away from your body. When
transporting or storing the chain
saw always t the guide bar cover.
Properhandlingofthechainsawwill
reducetheIikelihoodofaccidentaI
contactwiththemovingsawchain.
• Follow instructions for lubricating,
chain tensioning and changing ac-
cessories.
 Improperlytensionedorlubricated
chainmayeitherbreakorincreasethe
chanceforkickback.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free
from oil and grease.Greasy,oily
handlesareslipperycausing lossof
control.
• Cut wood only. Do not use chain
saw for purposes not intended. For
example: do not use chain saw for
cutting plastic, masonry or non-
wood building materials.Useofthe
chainsawforoperationsdifferentthan
intendedcouldresultinahazardous
situation

11
GB
• Maintain a rm grip, with thumbs
and ngers encircling the chain saw
handles, with both hands on the saw
and position your body and arm to
allow you to resist kickback forces.
Kickbackforcescanbecontrolledbythe
operator,ifproperprecautionsaretaken.
Donotletgoofthechainsaw.
• Do not overreach and do not cut
above shoulder height. Thishelpspre-
ventunintendedtipcontactandenables
bettercontrolofthechainsawinunex-
pectedsituations.
• Only use replacement bars and
chains specied by the manufacturer.
Incorrectreplacementbarsandchains
maycausechainbreakageand/orkick-
back.
• Follow the manufacturer´s sharpen-
ing and maintenance instructions for
the saw chain. Decreasingthedepth
gaugeheightcanleadtoincreasedkick-
back.
Further safety directions
• Ifthepowercableforthisequipmentis
damaged,itmustbereplacedbythe
manufacturer,acustomerserviceagent
ofthesameorasimilarlyqualiedper-
soninordertopreventhazards.
• Laytheextensioncableinsuchaway
thatitwillnotbecaughtbybranches
orsimilarduringsawing.
• Useasurgeprotectorwitharelease
currentof30mAorless.
• Complycarefullywithmaintenance,
controlandserviceinstructionsin
thismanual.Damagedprotectivede-
vicesandpartshavetobereparedor
changedexceptasnotedotherwisein
thismanual.

Sawing techniques
General
• Youhavebettercontrolwhenyousaw
withthebottomsideofthechainbar
(withpullingsawchain)andnotto
withthetopsideofthechainbar(with
pushingsawchain).
• Thesawchainmustnotcontacteither
thegroundoranotherobjectduring
sawingthroughoraftersawingcom-
pletion.
• Makesurethatthesawchaindoesnot
becomejammedinthewood.Donot
letthetreetrunkbreakorsplitoff.
• Consideralsotheprecautionsagainst
spring-back(seenotesonsafety).
If the saw chain jams, you do not
attempt to pull out the electric
chainsaw using power. There is
a danger of injury here. Switch
off the motor and use a lever or
wedge to free the electric chain-
saw.
Bucking
Thisreferstosawingupafelledtreetrunk
intosmallersections.
• Ensurethatthesawchaindoesnot
comeincontactwiththegroundduring
sawing.
• Makesureyouhaveasecurestance
and,inthecaseofslopingground,
standabovethelog.
K
1. Log is lying on the ground:
  Sawthroughthelogcompletely
fromaboveandensureatthe
endofthecutnottocontactthe
ground.

17
GB
  Ifyoucanturnthetreetrunk,saw
two-thirdsofthewaythroughit.
Thenturnthetrunkaroundand
sawtherestofthewaythrough
fromabove.
L
2. Log is supported at one end:
  Startsawingfromthebottomand
workyourwayup(withtheupper
edgeofthebar)athirdoftheway
intothediameterofthetrunkto
preventsplitting.Thensawfrom
thetopdownwardswiththelower
edgeofthebartowardstherst
cuttopreventthebarfrombe-
comingjammedinthewood.

3. Log is supported at both ends:
  Startfromthetopandworkdown
(withtheloweredgeofthebar)
toathirdofthediameterofthe
trunk.Thensawfromunderneath
withtheupperedgeofthebar
untilthetwocutsmeet.
N
4. Sawing on a sawhorse:
  Holdtheelectricchainsawsteady
withbothhands,keepingthesaw
infrontofyouwhilesawing.Once
thesawisthroughthewood,
guidethemachinepassedyou
ontheright(1).Holdyourleftarm
asstraightasyoucan(2).Watch
outforthefallingtrunk.Position
yourselftopreventanydanger
fromtheseparatedtrunk.Watch
yourfeet.Thetrunkmaycause
injurieswhenfalling.Keepyour
balance(3).
O
Limbing
Limbingisthedesignationforthesawing
offofbranchesandboughsfromafelled
tree.
Many accidents occur during the
removal of branches. Never cut
tree limbs when you are standing
on the log. Keep the spring-back
area in mind if branches are un-
der tension.
• Donotremovesupportbranchesuntil
afterthesawingoff.
• Branchesundertensionmustbe
sawedfrombelowtoabove,inorderto
preventjammingofthechainsaw.
 Whenworkingonthickerbranches,
usethesametechniqueaswhenyou
aresawingupafelledtrunk.
• Worktotheleftofthelogandasnear
aspossibletotheelectricchainsaw.
Asfaraspossible,theweightofthe
sawshouldrestonthelog.
• Changepositiontosawoffbranches
ontheothersideofthetrunk.
• Branchesstickingoutarecutoffsepa-
rately.
Felling trees
A lot of experience is necessary
in felling trees. Cut down trees
only when you can safely han-
dle the electric chainsaw. In no
case should you use the electric
chainsaw if you feel unsure
about anything.
• Ensurethatnopeopleoranimals
areintheeldofaction.Thesafety
distancebetweenthetreetobefelled
andthenearest-locatedworkplace
mustbe2½treelengths.
• Notethefellingdirection:
 Theusermustbeabletomovesafely
nearthefelledtree,tosawoffthetree
easilyandremovebranches.Itisto
beavoidedthatthefelledtreesnags

18
GB
itselfonanothertree.Notethenatural
fellingdirection,whichisdependent
ontheslopeandcurvaturecharacter-
isticofthetree,winddirectionandthe
numberofbranches.
• Inthecaseofslopingground,stand
abovethetreetobefelled.
• Smalltrees,withadiameterof15-18
cm,canusuallybesawnoffwithone
cut.
• Incaseoftreeswithalargerdiameter,
anotchedcutandabackcutmustbe
implemented(seediagram
Q
).
Do not fell any trees when a
strong or changing wind is blow-
ing, if the danger of property
damage exists or if the tree could
fall on electric wires.
 Immediatelyafterterminationof
thesawingprocedure,removethe
earprotectionsothatyoucanhear
hooterandalarmsignals.
O
1.Removal of branches:
  Removehangingbranchesby
positioningthecutfromabovethe
branch.Withremovalofbranches,
neverworkhigherthanshoulder
level.
P
2.Escape area:
  Removetheundergrowtharound
thetreetoensureaneasy
escape.Theescapearea(1)
shouldbearound45°eitherside
behindtheplannedfellingdirec-
tion(2).
Q
3.Cutting notch (A):
  Makeafellingnotchinthedirec-
tioninwhichyouwishthetreeto
fall.Startwithanuppersawing
cut.Nowmakeasawcutbelow,
whichrunshorizontallyand
encounterstheuppersawcutex-
actly.
  Thedepthofcutofthenotch
shouldbeapprox.¼ofthetrunk
diameterandthecuttingangleat
least45°.
Never step in front of a tree
which is notched.
Q
4. Felling back cut (B):
  Makethebackcutfromtheother
sideofthelog,whereyoustand
totheleftofthelogandsawwith
thechainsawpulling.Theback
cutmustrunhorizontallyabout
3-5cmabovethehorizontal
notchedcut.
  Thebackcutshouldbesodeep
thattheseparationdistance
betweenthebackcutandthe
notchcuttinglineisatleast1/10
ofthetrunkdiameter.Thepart
ofthelognotsawedthroughis
designatedasabreakdimen-
sion.
R
  Insertafellingwedgeoracrow-
barintothebackcut,assoon
asthedepthofcutpermitsthis,
inordertopreventajammingof
thechainbar.
S
5. Ifthetrunkdiameterislarger
thanthelengthofthechainbar,
maketwocuts.
For safety reasons, we advise
inexperienced users not to fell
any logs with a rail length which

19
GB
is smaller than the trunk diam-
eter.
6. Aftercarryingoutoftheback
cut,thetreefallsbyitselforwith
theaidofthefellingwedgeor
crowbar.
As soon as the tree begins to
fall, pull out the saw from the
section, stop the motor, place the
electric chainsaw down and leave
the workplace using the with-
drawal path.
Maintenance and cleaning
Basically, carry out mainte-
nance and cleaning works with
switched-off motor and power
plug removed. Danger of injury!
Leave any maintenance and
servicing work not covered by
this manual to our Service-Cent-
er (see P. 153 for the address).
Use only original spare parts.
Allow the machine to cool down
before all maintenance and
cleaning works. Danger of burn
injuries!
Cleaning
• Cleanthemachinethoroughlyafter
everyuse.Inthisway,youextend
thelifeofthemachineandavoidac-
cidents.
• Keepthegrippinghandlesfreeof
petrol,oilorgrease.Cleanthegrip-
pinghandles,whereappropriate,with
amoistclothsoakedinsoap.Useno
solventsorpetrolforcleaning!
• Cleanthesawchainaftereveryuse.
Useapaintbrushorwipeforthat.Do
notuseanyliquidstocleanthechain.
Aftercleaning,oilthechainlightlywith
chainoil.
• Cleantheventilationslotsandthe
surfacesofthemachinewithapaint

sharpandgetoptimummachine
performance.Incaseofdamage
duetoinadequatemaintenanceof
thesawchain,theguaranteeclaim
isinvalid.
Removethepowerpluganduse
cut-protectiongloveswhenyouare
handlingthechainorthechainbar.
• Oilthechainaftercleaning,after10
hoursofuseoratleastonceweekly,
dependingonwhichcomesrst.
• Beforeoiling,thechainbarmustbe
cleanedthoroughly,inparticularthe
teethoftherail.Useawhiskandadry
clothforthat.
• Oiltheindividualchainlinkswiththe
aidofanoilsuctiongunwithpinpoint
tip(availableinthespecialisttrade).
Placeindividualoildropsontothear-
ticulatedlinksandontothetoothtipsof
theindividualchainlinks.
Sharpening the saw chain
An incorrectly sharpened saw
chain increases the danger of
spring-back!
Use cut-protection gloves when
you are handling the chain or
the chain bar.
Asharpchainguaranteesanop-
timalcuttingperformance.Iteats
effortlesslythroughthewoodand
leaveslarge,longwoodenchips.
Asawchainisbluntifyouhaveto
pressthecuttingequipmentthrough
thewoodandthewoodenchips
areverysmall.Inthecaseofavery
bluntsawchain,nochipcuttings
resultatall,onlysawdust.
• Thesawingpartsofthechainare
thecuttingelements,whichconsist
ofacuttingtoothandadepthlimiting
projection.Theverticalseparationdis-
tancebetweenthesetwodetermines
thesharpnessdepth.
• Thefollowingvaluesmustbenotedin
sharpeningthecuttingteeth:
H
 - Sharpedgeangle(30°)
 - Breastangle(85°)
 - Sharpnessdepth(0.65mm)
 - Roundlediameter(4.0mm)
Deviations from the measure-
ment data of the cutting geom-
etry can lead to an increase of
the spring-back slope of the
machine. Increased danger of
accident!
Specialtoolsarenecessaryforsharpen-
ingthechain,whichguaranteethatthe
cuttingedgesaresharpenedatthecor-
rectangleandtothecorrectdepth.For
theinexperienceduserofchainsaws,
werecommendtohavethesawchain
sharpenedbyaspecialistoraspecialist
workshop.Ifyouthinkyourselfcapableof
sharpeningthechain,youcanacquirethe
specialtoolsinthespecialisttrade.
