Steel or iron wedges can cause kickback and dam-
age to the device.
• Be aware of signs that the tree is beginning to fall:
Cracking sounds, the dropping cut opening or move-
ment in the upper branches.
• When the tree begins to fall, stop the saw, put it down
and leave immediately via your escape route.
• To prevent injuries, do not cut partly felled trees with
your saw. Beware especially of partly felled trees
which are not supported. If a tree does not fall down
completely, remove the saw and help the process
along with a cable winch, a pulley or a towing vehicle.
Sawing a felled tree (log division)
The term „log division" describes the cutting up of a
felled tree into logs of the desired length.
m CAUTION
Do not stand on the log you are currently cutting. The
log could roll away and you may lose your footing and
control of the device. Do not carry out sawing work on
sloping ground.
Important notices
• Only ever saw one log or branch.
• Be careful when cutting split wood. You may be hit by
sharp pieces of wood.
• Cut small logs or branches on a sawhorse. When cut-
ting logs, no other person must hold on to the log. Do
not secure the log with your leg or foot.
• Do not use the saw in areas where logs, roots and
other parts of the tree are entangled. Pull the logs to
a free area and cut the freed logs first.
Different cuts for log division (Fig. D)
m CAUTION
If the saw is jammed in a log, do not pull it out with force.
You may lose control of the device and suffer severe in-
juries and/or damage the saw. Stop the saw and drive a
plastic or wooden wedge into the cut until the saw can
be pulled out easily. Restart the saw and carefully con-
tinue with the cut. Never start the saw when it is jammed
in a log.
Topping (Fig. E, Pos. 1)
Topping starts at the upper side of the log where you
hold the saw against the log. Only use slight downwards
pressure for topping.
Undercut (Fig. E, Pos. 2)
Start the undercut on the underside of the log and hold
the top edge of the saw against the log. Only use slight
upwards pressure for the undercut. Hold the saw se-
curely to control the device. The saw will push back-
wards (in your direction).

m CAUTION
Never hold the saw the wrong way round for an under-
cut. You do not have control of the device in this posi-
tion. Always make the first cut on the compression side
of the log. The compression side of the log is where the
pressure of the log's weight is concentrated.
Log division without supports (Fig. F)
• Using topping (Pos. 1), saw 1/3 of the way into the
tree.
• Turn the log around and make a second top cut (Pos.
2).
• When sawing on the compression side, make sure
the saw does not get jammed. See Figure for cuts in
logs on the compression side.
Log division with log or support
(Fig. G-H)
• Always remember to make the first cut (Pos. 1) on the
loaded side of the log.
• Cut 1/3 into the log for this.
• Make a second cut (Pos. 2).
Trimming and pruning
m CAUTION
Always be careful and protect yourself from kick-
back. Never let the moving chain at the tip of the
chain guide come in contact with other branches or
objects during trimming or cutting branches. Such
contact can lead to serious injuries.
m CAUTION
Never climb into the tree for trimming or pruning. Do
not stand on ladders, platforms etc. You could lose
your balance and control of the device.
Important notices
• Work slowly and hold on to the saw with both
hands. Ensure a secure standing position and
balance.
• Beware of recoiling parts of the tree. Practise ex-
treme caution when cutting small parts of the tree.
Flexible material can get caught in the saw-chain
and be ejected in your direction or make you lose
your balance.
• Beware of recoiling parts of the tree. This particu-
larly applies to bent or loaded branches. Avoid
coming in contact with the branch or the saw when
the tension on the wood is released.
• Keep your working area clear. Clear the path of
branches so you do not trip over them.
Trimming
• Do not start trimming the tree before it has been felled.
Only then can you carry out the trimming safely and
properly.
• Leave larger branches underneath the felled tree and
use them as a support while you continue working.
