Warning!
!Warning!
Working with an electric chain saw in the
woods - i.e. felling or limbing - is very
dangerous. The freedom of movement
necessary for this work is impaired by
the power cable! Electric saws are
intended for stationary use in yards,
buildings, etc.
Always observe the general condition of
the tree. Inexperienced users should
never attempt to cut trees which are
decayed or rotted inside or which are
leaning or otherwise under tension.
There is an increased risk that such
trees could snap or split while being cut
and cause serious or fatal injury to the
operator or bystanders. Also look for
broken or dead branches which could
vibrate loose and fall on the operator.
When felling on a slope, the operator
should stand on the uphill side if
possible.

Felling Instructions:
Cutting Techniques
When felling, maintain a distance of at
least 2 1/2 tree lengths from the nearest
person.
These general instructions apply to all
chain saws. As stated above, however,
STIHL recommends against use of your
electric saw in the woods.
When felling in the vicinity of roads,
railways and power lines, etc., take extra
precautions. Inform the police, utility
company or railway authority before
beginning to cut.
Felling
Felling is cutting down a tree.
Before felling a tree, consider carefully
all conditions which may affect the
direction of fall, including:
!Warning!
The noise of your engine may drown any
warning call.
The intended direction of the fall.
The natural lean of the tree.
!Warning!
Any unusually heavy limb structure.
Surrounding trees and obstacles.
The wind direction and speed.
There are a number of factors that may
affect and change the intended direction
of fall, e.g. wind, lean of tree, sloping
ground, one-sided limb structure, wood
structure, decay, snow load, etc. To
reduce the risk of severe or fatal injury to
yourself or others, look for these
conditions prior to beginning the cut, and
be alert for a change in direction while
the tree is falling.
