To avoid pushback 1. Be alert to forces or situations that may cause material to pinch the top of the saw chain. 2. Do not cut more than one log at a time. 3. Do not twist the chain saw when withdrawing the bar from a plunge cut or underbuck cut because the saw chain can pinch. WARNING For cutting larger trees, logs or branches, a more powerful, faster and/or steady cut may be necessary to reduce the risk of binding, stalling or a change in conditions during a longer cutting time that could lead to a loss of control of the object being cut and serious personal injury. The electric chain saw is of only limited suitability for felling and limbing. If, however, a tree is to be felled and limbed with a an electric chain saw, it is imperative to observe the following instructions. Limbing Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen tree. WARNING There is an extreme danger of kickback during the limbing operation. Do not work with the nose of the bar. Be extremely cautious and avoid contacting the log or other limbs with the nose of the guide bar. MSE 170 C, MSE 210 C Do not stand on a log while limbing it - you may slip or the log may roll. Start limbing by leaving the lower limbs to support the log off the ground. When underbucking freely hanging limbs, a pinch may result or the limb may fall, causing loss of control. If a pinch occurs, switch off the motor, move front hand guard to ƒ, disconnect the plug from the power supply and remove the saw by lifting the limb. WARNING Be extremely cautious when cutting limbs or logs under tension (spring poles). The limbs or logs could spring back toward the operator and cause loss of control of the saw and severe or fatal injury to the operator. Bucking Bucking is cutting a log into sections. 001BA033 KN 001BA051 LÄ English WARNING When bucking, do not stand on the log. Make sure the log will not roll downhill. If on a slope, stand on the uphill side of the log. Watch out for rolling logs. Cut only one log at a time. Shattered wood should be cut very carefully. Sharp slivers of wood may be caught and flung in the direction of the operator of the saw. When cutting small logs, place log through "V"-shaped supports on top of a sawhorse. Never permit another person to hold the log. Never hold the log with your leg or foot. 15
