Operating Instructions/Cleaning Kapitelüberschrift
LIMBING
a) Always start from the larger diameter and move towards the tip to cut off limbs and
any secondary branches.
b) Always find the safest and most stable position before accelerating the chainsaw.
If necessary, keep your balance by resting your knee on the trunk itself.
c) Keep the chainsaw on the trunk so as not to get too tired, turning it onto the left- or
right-hand side depending on the position of the branch to cut (Fig. L).
d) In the case of branches under tension, find a safe position to protect yourself if they
whip back. Always start the cut from the opposite side to the bend.
e) When lopping large diameter branches make use of the bumper spike.
WARNING - Do not use the upper edge of the tip of the guide bar to cross-cut;
otherwise you might risk a kickback.

m CAUTION
Set the stop switch (Fig. 8/pos. 15) '0' stop before doing any cleaning and main-
tenance work!
Carrying out any cleaning work
The equipment should be cleaned thoroughly every time after it has been used.
-
This applies particularly to the chain and bar.
Keep the air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
-
Wipe the equipment with a clean damp cloth or blow it down with compressed air
at low pressure.
It is easiest to remove sawdust and wood chippings immediately after use.
-
Clean the equipment regularly with a damp cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
-
cleaning agents or solvents; these may be aggressive to the plastic parts in the
equipment. Ensure that no water can get into the interior of the equipment.
