Using the Unit
Warning!
Keep the chain, bar and sprocket clean;
replace worn sprockets or chains. Keep
the chain sharp. You can spot a dull
chain when easy-to-cut wood becomes
hard to cut or burn marks appear on the
wood. Keep chain at proper tension.

Starting the engine
Put on the shoulder strap.

to the maintenance chart in this manual.
Cutting Sequence
Do not clean your machine with a
pressure washer. The solid jet of water
may damage parts of the machine.
To allow branches a free fall, always cut
the lower branches first. Prune heavy
branches (large diameter) in several
controllable pieces.
Store the power tool in a dry and high or
locked location out of reach of children.
The shaft should always be held at an
angle of 60° or less.
Never stand directly underneath
the branch you are cutting – be
wary of falling branches. Note that
a branch may spring back at you
after it hits the ground – risk of
injury.
Before storing for longer than a few
days, always empty the fuel tank. See
chapter "Storing the machine" in this
manual.
The least tiring working position is a tool
angle of 60°.
Any lesser angle may be used to suit the
situation concerned.
Store fuel and chain oil in approved and
properly labeled safety-type canisters
only. Take care when handling gasoline!
Avoid direct contact with the skin and
avoid inhaling fuel vapor!
Disposal
Cross-cut
Do not throw cuttings into the garbage
can – they can be composted.
Working Techniques
Hold the control handle with your right
hand, and the shaft with your left hand.
Your left arm should be extended to the
most comfortable position.
To avoid pinching the bar in the cut,
position the cutting attachment with the
hook against the branch and then
perform the cross-cut from the top
downwards.
Always hold the shaft with your left hand
in the area of the handle hose.
