ing strap from outside at a downward angle.
The tree falls.
10.5 Resetting Overload Protection
The chain saw is equipped with overload protec‐
tion. The overload protection interrupts the power
supply to the chain saw in the case of mechani‐
cal overload. The overload protection thus pre‐
vents damage to the saw.
► Pull the guide bar out of the cut.
► Wait a few minutes.
The chain saw must cool down.

► Depress the reset button (1).
The reset button (1) engages in position. The
circuit is no longer interrupted.
► If the reset button (1) does not engage in posi‐
tion: Wait a few minutes and then depress the
reset button (1) again.
The saw has not cooled down sufficiently.
► Switch on the saw and run it at full speed for
about 15 seconds.
This cools the motor and considerably delays
the overload protection tripping again.
