If you cannot cut the timber right through with a
single stroke:
Apply light pressure to the handle and continue
sawing and draw the chain saw back a little.

When cutting thick branches, first make a shal-
low undercut and then make the finish cut from
the top.

If you try to cut off thick branches from the
bottom, the branch may close in and pinch the
saw chain in the cut. If you try to cut off thick
branches from the top without a shallow under-
cut, the branch may splinter.

Limbing
CAUTION: Limbing may only be per-
formed by trained persons. A hazard is pre-
sented by the risk of kickback.
When limbing, support the chain saw on the
trunk if possible. Do not cut with the tip of the
bar, as this presents a risk of kickback.
Pay particular attention to branches under ten-
sion. Do not cut unsupported branches from
below.
Do not stand on the felled trunk when limbing.
Carrying tool
Before carrying the tool, always apply the chain
brake and remove the battery cartridges from the
tool. Then attach the guide bar cover. Also cover
the battery cartridge with the battery cover.
