Hello,
I use electrum..

How to safely send my BTC to new address?

I hear about that elecrum can choose automatic network BCC (option: server select automatically).. and can lost funds.

What network need choose manually?

Thanks.

It will not. Just let the option "Select server automatically" turned on and you will be okay managing your Bitcoins.

I didn't understand 100% about your question.

If you want to claim your BTH from an old BTC wallet, you can just:

1. Send your Bitcoins to a new wallet with Electrum;
2. Download Electron Cash[1] and open your old wallet with it - that doesn't have BTC anymore, but still has BTH;
3. Now you have a wallet with BTC and your old one with BTH.

Any wallet created on Electrum or Electron Cash are valid on both chains. This means that you can receive BTC/BTH on the same wallet (not recommended) and be able to spend both coins by using its proper software.

Bitcoin = Electrum
Bitcoin Cash = Electron Cash

P.s: wallet.dat is only for Core. Electrum will create a normal file without any extension.
