General Behaviour (see figure F)
– First-time users should practise cutting logs on a saw
horse.
– Hold the chain saw at the right-hand side of your body.
– Use the metal spiked bumper (10) as a leverage point
while cutting.
– The chain must be running at full speed before it makes
contact with the wood.
– Reset the metal spiked bumper at a lower point when
sawing thicker logs or tree trunks. For this, pull the chain
saw slightly backwards until the metal spiked bumper re-
lease, and reposition at lower level to continue sawing. Do
not remove the chain saw completely out of the cut.
– Do not force the saw chain while cutting, let the chain do
the work.
– Always remove the chain saw from a wood cut while the
saw chain is running.
– Beware when reaching the end of the cut. The weight of
the chain saw changes unexpectedly as it cuts free from
the wood. Danger of injury to the legs and feet.
Kickback (see figure G)
– Kickback is the sudden backward/upward motion of the
chain saw, occurring when the chain (at the tip of the
chain bar) comes in contact with a log or wood, or when
the chain becomes jammed.
Troubleshooting
The following chart lists problem symptoms, possible causes and corrective action, if your power tool does not operate prop-
erly. If these do not identify and correct the problem, contact your service agent.
Warning: Switch off and remove the battery prior to any troubleshooting.

Bosch Power Tools
– When kickback occurs, the chainsaw reacts unpredict-
able and can cause heavy injuries to the operator or
bystanders.
– Particular attention must be given when sawing side-
wards, slanted or during length cuts, as the metal spiked
bumper (10) usually can not be applied.
Cutting Logs (see figures H)
– Always secure the logs before cutting.
– Always cut the logs beyond the secured points to prevent
the log from closing in and causing the chain to get
jammed.
– Never allow the saw chain to make contact with the
ground or cutting equipment.
– Be careful not to trip over tree stumps, branches, roots,
etc.
Cutting Wood under Tension (see figure I)
– Be extremely careful when sawing wood, branches or
trees under tension. Leave saw jobs like these to trained
professionals. There is a high risk of accidents.
Limbing a Branch or Tree (see figure J)
– Limbing is removing the small branches from a fallen tree
or large branch.
– Leave larger lower limbs to support the log off the ground.
– Remove the smaller limbs in one cut.
