comes to a stop before removing it. Always
switch off the motor of the pruner saw before
changing between trees.
1. Log is lying on the ground:
Saw through the log completely from above and en-
sure at the end of the cut not to contact the ground.
If you can turn the tree trunk, saw twothirds of the
way through it. Then turn the trunk around and saw
the rest of the way through from above.
2. Sawing on a sawhorse:
Hold the electric chainsaw steady with both hands,
keeping the saw in front of you while sawing. Once
the saw is through the wood, guide the machine
passed you on the right (1). Hold your left arm as
straight as you can (2). Watch out for the falling
trunk. Position yourself to prevent any danger from
the separated trunk. Watch your feet. The trunk
may cause injuries when falling. Keep your balance
(3).
Limbing
Limbing is the designation for the sawing off of
branches and boughs from a felled tree.
Many accidents occur during the removal of bran-
ches. Never cut tree limbs when you are standing
on the log. Keep the spring-back area in mind if
branches are under tension.
• Do not remove support branches until after the
sawing off.
• Branches under tension must be sawed from
below to above, in order to prevent jamming of
the chainsaw.
When working on thicker branches, use the same
technique as when you are sawing up a felled trunk.
• Work to the left of the log and as near as possi-
ble to the electric chainsaw. As far as possible,
the weight of the saw should rest on the log.
• Change position to saw off branches on the
other side of the trunk.
• Branches sticking out are cut off separately.
5. MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning and maintenance, always
switch off the machine and remove the
battery pack from the machine.

Only use original spare parts. Allow the device to
cool off before undertaking any maintenance or
cleaning work. There is a danger of burns!
Use cut-protection gloves when handling
the chain or the chain bar. Risk of cuts!
Cleaning
• Clean the machine thoroughly after every use.
In this way, you extend the life of the machine
and avoid accidents.
• Keep the gripping handles free of petrol, oil
or grease. Clean the gripping handles, where
appropriate, with a moist cloth soaked in soap.
Use no solvents or petrol for cleaning!
• Clean the saw chain after every use. Use a paint
brush or wipe for that. Do not use any liquids
to clean the chain. After cleaning, oil the chain
lightly with chain oil.
• Clean the ventilation slots and the surfaces of
the machine with a paint brush, whisk or dry
cloth. Do not use any liquids for cleaning.
Saw chain oiling
Clean and oil the chain regularly. This keeps the
chain sharp and achieves optimum machine perfor-
mance. Damage due to insufficient maintenance of
the saw chain will invalidate the warranty.
Remove the battery and use cut-resistant
gloves when working with the chain or
with the blade bar.
The blade bar and chain must never be
operated without oil. If the cordless
pruner saw is used with too little oil, the
cutting performance and lifespan of the
saw chain will decrease as the chain will
become blunt more quickly. You can
identify when there is too little oil if
smoke develops or the blade bar changes
colour.
Switch off the device and remove the
battery before carrying out any mainte-
nance work.
• Oil the chain after cleaning, after 10 hours of
use or at least once a week, whichever comes
first.
