81312111415- Guide the electric chain saw in such a way that no part of yourbody is within the elongated swiveling range of the saw (11).- Use the electric chain saw for sawing wood only.- Do not let the chain touch the ground when it is running. If youare cutting wood lying directly on the ground, turn it over beforecompleting the cut so that you do not cut into the ground.- Clear the area of the cut of foreign objects such as sand, stones,nails, wire etc. Such objects can damage the blade and causedangerous kickback.- When sawing precut timber or thin woods use a safe support(sawing jack,12). When sawing precut timber or thin pieces usea stable support (sawhorse, 12). Do not saw stacked timber! Donot let another person steady the timber, and do not steady itwith your foot!- Secure round timber.- When working on slopes, always work facing the slope.- For performing crosscuts the toothed ledge (12,Z) must beapplied to the timber to be cut.- Before performing a crosscut firmly apply the toothed ledge tothe timber, only then can the timber be cut with the chain running.For this the electric chain saw is lifted at the back handle andguided with the tubular handle. The toothed ledge serves as acenter of rotation. Continue by slightly pressing down the tubularhandle and simultaneously pulling backwards the electric chainsaw. Apply the toothed ledge a little bit deeper and once againlift the back handle.- The sawing device must be running whenever you remove theelectric chain saw from the timber.- When performing several cuts the electric chain saw must beswitched off in between.- When the timber must be pierced for cutting or longitudinalcuts are to be performed it is urgently recommended tohave these works carried out by specially trained personsonly (high risk of kickbacks).- For performing longitudinal cuts (13) apply the sawing deviceat an angle which is as small as possible. Be very careful whencarrying out this kind of work because the toothed ledge cannotbe used.- When cutting with the bottom edge of the bar the electric chainsaw may be pushed in the direction of the user if the chain isclamped. For this reason use the top edge of the bar wheneverpossible. The electric chain saw will then be pushed away fromyour body (14).If the timber is not free of tension (15), first cut the pressure side(A). Then the crosscut can be performed on the tension side (B).Thus clamping of the bar is avoided.- Be very careful when cutting splintery wood. Cut pieces of woodmay be pulled along (risk of injuries).- Never use the electric chain saw for lifting up or removing piecesof wood or other objects.- When releasing the tension the electric chain saw should besupported on the trunk (risk of kickbacks).- Tension releasing works must be carried out by trainedpersons. High risk of injuries.- Be aware of branches under tension. Do not cut free branchesfrom below.- Never perform tension releasing works standing on the trunk.- Do not use the electric chain saw for works in the forest, i.e. for cutting down trees or carrying out tension releasingworks. The user's mobility and safety necessary for thiskind of work are not guaranteed due to the cable connec-tion.Z
