first make a relief cut

A relief cut must not be carried out with an
angle-adjusted saw head. There is a risk of
kick-back and the device becomes uncont-
rollable.
■
A relief cut also prevents peeling of the bark on
the main trunk.

Working safely
■
Keep the appliance, the cutting mechanism
and the blade guard in good condition to
prevent injury.
■
If the appliance has been dropped, check for
significant damage or defects.
■
Maintain the specified angle 60°±10° to
ensure safe working (see figure).
■
Do not use the appliance while standing on a
ladder or with unsteady footing.
■
Do not be tempted into making a poorly
considered cut. You could endanger yourself
and others.
■
Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.

Change your working position regularly.
Using the appliance for a long time can lead
to vibration-related circulation disorders of the
hands. You can extend the usage duration
by means of appropriate gloves or by taking
regular breaks. Note that any personal predis-
position to poor blood circulation, low external
temperatures or large prehensile forces can
reduce the usage period.
