Felling Trees
Always wear hard hat to protect head against
falling branches.
The chain saw can only be used to fell trees smaller
in diameter than the length of the chain bar.
Secure work area. Ensure no persons or animals are
in the vicinity of the falling tree.
Never attempt to free a jammed saw with the motor
running. Use wooden wedges to free chain and
chain bar.
Note: Predetermine the direction of fall, taking both
the tree´s centre of gravity at the crown and the wind
into account.
Saw a notch (X–W) in the trunk in the direction of fall of
the tree. The notch should be approx. 1/3 of the trunk
diameter. Now saw a horizontal cut (Y) on the opposite
side of the notch (X– W), starting about 4 cm above
cut (W). Do not cut all the way through the trunk!
About 1/10 of the trunk diameter should remain stand-
ing. If the tree starts to fall, immediately withdraw the
chain saw and step back and off to one side.
The work area around the tree must be clear of obstruc-
tions and provide safe footing and hindrance free with-
drawal for the operator.
To complete the felling operation, drive a wedge (Z) into
the horizontal cut.
Beware of falling branches when the tree starts to move.
Prior to any maintenance remove plug from
power supply.
Note: To ensure long and reliable service, carry out the
following maintenance regularly.
Regulary check for obvious defects such as loose, dis-
lodged or damaged chain and chain bar, loose fixings
and worn or damaged components.
Check that covers and guards are undamaged and cor-
rectly fitted. Carry out necessary maintenance or repairs
before using the chain saw.
If the chain saw should happen to fail despite the care
taken in manufacturing and testing, repair should be car-
ried out by an authorized customer service agent.
For all correspondence and spare parts orders, always
include the 10-digit part number from the nameplate of
the machine!
Fit the chain and chain bar as described in “Assembly
and Tensioning Chain”.
The circular groove of the chain bar will wear particularly
on the lower edge with time. When replacing the chain
turn the chain bar 180° to allow even wear, thus extend-
ing chain bar life.
For SDS models only, reverse the chain tensioning
catch 17 by removing the screw and refitting it on the op-
posite side.
Check drive sprocket 22. If it is worn out or damaged due
to strain, have it exchanged by an authorized Bosch
service agent.
Have your chain sharpened professionally at your Bosch
approved service agent, or sharpen the chain yourself,
using the Bosch sharpening kit, or a Dremel power tool
with the appropriate grinder (1453), both available at
your Bosch approved service agent. Follow the sharpen-
ing instructions supplied with the sharpening kit.
Proper functioning of the automatic oiler can be checked
by running the chain saw and pointing the tip of the chain
guard towards a piece of cardboard or paper on the
ground. Caution: Do not touch the ground with the chain.
Ensure safety clearance of 20 cm. If an increasing oil
pattern developes, the automatic oiler is operating fine.
If there is no oil pattern, despite a full oil reservoir, see
“Fault Finding” or contact your Bosch approved service
agent.
