Danger of injury!
This section examines the basic working technique for

for!
Careless use of the product can lead to serious injuries
and even death!
DANGER
Danger of injury!
Sawing and felling work as well as all related work may
only be carried out by specially trained and briefed per-
sons.
Notes:
Before switching on, make sure that the product does not
touch any objects.
Observe the country-specific regulations for felling work
and obtain information from the relevant authority.
• Make sure that no one can be harmed by the falling
branches and trees.
• Only the persons required for the felling work may be
in the work area.
• Keep the work area at the trunk clear and tidy so that
operators have a safe standing area.
• Keep escape routes clear and tidy in order to be able
to leave the work area quickly.
• Do not carry out felling work in stronger wind condi-
tions, bad weather or poor visibility.
• Keep distances to the nearest workplace of at least 2
1/2 tree lengths.
• Switch off the motor if the saw comes into contact with
a foreign object. Check the saw and repair it if neces-
sary.
• Protect the chain from dirt and sand. Even small
amounts of dirt can quickly dull the chain and increase
the risk of kickback.
• Start by sawing smaller logs for practice to get a feel
for your product before tackling more difficult tasks.
• Press the housing of the electric chainsaw against the
tree trunk when you start sawing.
• Let the saw work for you. Apply only light downward
pressure.
• To avoid losing control of the product after the chain
has come out of the wood, do not apply pressure to
the saw towards the end of the cut.
• Do not cut wood that is lying on the ground or try to
cut roots that are sticking out of the ground.
• Avoid abnormal postures. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
• You have better control when you saw with the under-
side of the bar (with a pulling chain).
• The saw chain must not touch the ground or any other
object during or after sawing.
• Also observe the precautions against kick-back (see
safety instructions).
