Bucking
•
Bucking is cutting a fallen log into lengths.
Make sure you have a good footing and stand
uphill of the log when cutting on sloping
ground. If possible, the log should be suppor-
ted so that the end to be cut off is not resting
on the ground. If the log is supported at both
ends and you must cut in the middle, make
a downward cut halfway through the log and
then make the undercut. This will prevent the
log from pinching the bar and chain. Be care-
ful that the chain does not cut into the ground
when bucking as this causes rapid dulling of
the chain. When bucking on a slope, always
stand on the uphill side.
1. Log supported along entire length: Cut from
top (overbuck), being careful to avoid cutting into
the ground (Fig. 13A).
2. Log supported on 1 end: First, cut from
bottom (underbuck) 1/3 diameter of log to avoid
splintering. Second, cut from above (overbuck) to
meet fi rst cut and avoid pinching (Fig. 13B).
3. Log supported on both ends: First, overbuck
1/3 diameter of log to avoid splintering. Second,
underbuck to meet fi rst cut and avoid pinching
(Fig. 13C).
•
The best way to hold a log while bucking is
to use a sawhorse. When this is not possible,
the log should be raised and supported by the
limb stumps or by using supporting logs. Be
sure the log being cut is securely supported.

For personal safety and ease of cutting, the cor-
rect position for vertical bucking is essential.
A. Hold the saw fi rmly with both hands and keep
the saw to the right of your body while cutting.
B. Keep the left arm as straight as possible.
C. Keep weight on both feet.
Caution: When working with the saw, always
make sure that the saw chain and chain bar are
suffi ciently lubricated.

7. Cleaning, maintenance, storage
and ordering of spare parts
Disconnect the spark plug boot before doing any
cleaning and maintenance work!
7.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could
attack the plastic parts of the equipment. En-
sure that no water can seep into the device.
7.2 Maintenance
Warning: All maintenance work on the chainsaw
apart from the work described in this manual may
only be carried out by authorized after-sales ser-
vice personnel.
7.2.1 Air fi lter
Note: Never operate saw without the air fi lter.
Dust and dirt will be drawn into engine and dama-
ge it. Keep the air fi lter clean! The air fi lter must
be cleaned or replaced after every 20 hours of
service.
Cleaning the air fi lter (Fig. 15A/15B)
1. Remove the top cover (14) by undoing the co-
ver fastening screw (A) on the cover. You can
then remove the cover (Fig. 15A).
2. Lift out the air fi lter (15) (Fig. 15B).
3. Clean air fi lter. Wash fi lter in clean, warm,
soapy water. Rinse in clear, cool water. Air dry
completely.
Note: It is advisable to have a supply of spare
fi lters.
4. Insert the air fi lter. Install the air fi lter cover
(14). Make sure that the cover fi ts perfectly
when you do so. Tighten the cover fastening
screw.
