Frequently Asked Questions - KSH 600 ATIKA

How to tension the chain on the KSH 600 pruner?

Before any intervention, unplug the device. Wear protective gloves. Loosen the fixing screw (3) by a maximum of one turn. Slightly lift the nose of the guide bar and turn the tension adjustment screw (21) clockwise until you can lift the chain about 3-4 mm at the middle of the guide bar. Retighten the fixing screw.

How to check that the chain lubrication is working?

Start the pruner and point the tip of the guide bar toward a piece of cardboard about 20 cm from the ground. If an oil trace appears, the automatic lubrication is working. If not, clean the oil channel (25) and the tensioner hole (26). Also check the oil level in the tank.

What to do if the pruner does not start?

First check that the chain brake is disengaged. Check the electrical supply (socket, fuse, extension cable). If the cable is damaged, replace it. If the problem persists, the motor or switch may be defective; contact after-sales service.

What type of oil to use for the chain?

Use a biodegradable special chain oil, preferably the ATIKA reference 400144 (chain oil 1 liter). Never use recycled or used oil, as this will void the warranty.

How to avoid chainsaw kickback?

Never cut with the tip of the guide bar. Use the lower edge of the guide bar and hold the pole with both hands. Start cutting only when the chain is running. Keep the chain sharp and properly tensioned. Maintain a safety distance of 10 m from power lines.

How to clean the KSH 600 pruner?

After each use, clean the casing with a soft brush or dry cloth. Do not use water or solvents. Clear the motor ventilation slots. After 1 to 3 hours of work, remove the cover, guide bar, and chain to brush clean. Clean the sprocket (20) and oil channel (25).

When should the chain be sharpened?

Sharpen the chain when wood dust comes out instead of chips, or when you have to push the pruner into the wood. Use a suitable sharpening equipment (ref. KSG 220, code 302360) or have it sharpened by after-sales service. A poorly sharpened chain increases the risk of kickback.

How to store the pruner for a long period?

Thoroughly clean the device. Drain the oil tank completely. To rinse the lubrication system, fill the tank halfway with chain cleaner, run the machine without guide bar and chain until the product is expelled. Immerse the chain in an oil bath, wrap it in oiled paper, and replace the chain guard. Store in a dry, locked place.

What are the essential safety instructions?

Always read the manual before use. Wear full protective equipment: helmet, eye and ear protection, cut-resistant gloves, safety trousers and shoes. Maintain a minimum safety distance of 6 m from other people. Do not work in rain or near power lines. Keep children away.

How to transport the pruner safely?

Always unplug the device before transport. Put the chain guard in place. Ensure the chain cannot come into contact with objects. Transport the pole pruner in a stable manner, without excessive swinging.

Before the first start-up

Chain lubrication

The power pruner is not delivered filled with saw chain adhering oil.
Any use without chain saw oil may result in damage of the saw chain and guide bar.

The durability and cutting power of the chain depends on the optimal lubrication. During operation the saw chain is automatically wetted with oil.

Charging the oil tank

Stop the engine and wear protective gloves. Avoid eye and skin contact.

Put the power pruner on a suitable base.
Unscrew the oil tank lock (18).

Fill the oil tank with bio-degradable chainsaw oil (order no. 400144). For easier filling use a funnel.

When filling observe that no dirt reaches the oil tank.

9 Screw on the oil tank lock again.
Never use recycled oil or used oil. The guarantee expires when using oil which is not allowed for such devices.

Checking the chain lubrication

Never operate the power pruner without functioning chain lubrication.

Check the function of the automatic chain lubrication by switching on the power pruner and holding it with the spike in direction of a carton or paper on the ground.

Do not get in contact with the ground with the chain. Keep a safe distance of 20~cm .

If an increasing oil track is caused when checking it the oil automatic works faultless.

If there is no oil track despite full oil tank

5 Clean the oil flow channel (25) and
6 clean the chain clamping boring (26)

If this is not successful please contact the customer service.

Start-up

Clamping of saw chain

• Before setting or checking the saw chain tension pull out power plug.
  In order to avoid injuries wear protective gloves.

Check the saw chain tension

before start of work
after the first steps
during sawing regularly all 10 minutes

Only with a correct clamped saw chain and a sufficient lubrication you can influence the durability.

(1) Please observe the following:

a new saw chain must be reclamped more often.
in case of heating of chain to operating temperature it expands and needs to be reclamped.

After finishing the sawing works release tension of saw chain as in case of cooling too high tensions would emerge in the saw chain.

if chain flackers or comes out of the guide clamp it again immediately.

Clamping of saw chain

8 Place the power pruner on an even surface as shown.
8 Loosen the retaining screw (3) by max. 1 turn.
10 Slightly lift the guide bar tip and turn the chain stretching screw (21) clockwise until the correct chain tension is reached.
The saw chain is correctly stretched when it can be lifted in the centre of the chain guide by appr. 3 - 4mm
10 Turn the chain stretching screw (21) anti-clockwise when the saw chain is stretched too much.

Check that the chain links are positioned correctly in the guiding groove of the guide bar.

8 Tighten the retaining screw (3) again.

Mains connection

Compare the voltage given on the machine model plate e.g. 230V with the mains voltage and connect the machine to the relevant and properly earthed plug.
① Use a shockproof plug, mains voltage 230 V with residual current circuit breaker (FI switch 30 mA).
Only use extension cables with sufficient core cross-section.

Mains fuse

10 A inert

Mounting of the extension cable

Plug the female connector of the extension cable on the male connector of the device.
Thread the extension cable through the pull relief device (10) as a loop and hang it up.
12 Make sure that the extension cable has sufficient play and is routed toward the rear away from the power pruner, outside of the range of the saw chain and material to be sawed.

Wearing the shoulder belt

13 Place the belt over the shoulder and adjust the belt length so that the belt attachment (A) is positioned at hip level. The quick acting closure (14) is located at the front.
The quick acting closure can be opened with the left hand.

Setting the working height

14 Loosen the clamping screw (6); you can then pull the two telescope rods (5, 7) apart or push them together.

Switching on / off

Do not use any device where the switch can not be switched on and off. Damaged switches must be repaired or replaced immediately by the customer service.

Securely support the power pruner when switching it on and hold it with both hands. Chain and guide bar must stand free.

Switching on

Push and hold automatic trip switch (8). Then operate the On/Off switch (9). Now, you can release the throttle automatic trip switch.

Switching off

Release On/Off switch.

Vibrations

If persons who have blood circulation problems are too often exposed to vibrations damages to the nervous system or to blood vessels may occur.

You can reduce vibrations:

• by thick and warm working gloves,
• shorter working time (have longer breaks).

See a doctor if your fingers swell, you don't feel well or your fingers become numb.

Working with the power pruner

Saw backstroke

What is saw backstroke? Saw backstroke is the sudden strike upwards or backwards of the running power pruner in direction of the operator.

This happens when

• the guide bar tip gets in contact with the sawing material (unintended) or other hard objects.
• the saw chain is jammed at the guide bar tip.

The power pruner reacts uncontrolled and frequently causes heavy injuries of the operator.

How to avoid saw backstroke?

• For better control saw with the lower edge of the guide bar. Place the power pruner as horizontally as possible when contacting wood.
• Never saw with the guide bar tip.
• Sawing with the upper guide bar edge may cause a saw backstroke if the saw gets jammed or hits a hard object in the wood.
• Start cutting only with running saw chain.
• Never switch on the machine with the saw chain put on.
  Always hold the power pruner firmly with both hands.
• Only work with correctly sharpened and clamped saw chain.

General conduct when pruning

Take into consideration environmental influences:

• Do not work on snow, ice or recently peeled wood – slip hazard.

• Do not work under insufficient light conditions (e.g. fog, rain, snow flurry or twilight). You can not see anymore details within the falling area – risk of accident.
  Delay the work in case of disadvantageous weather (rain, snow, ice, wind) – increased risk of accidents!

• Do not use the power pruner near inflammable liquids or gases.

• Keep a safety distance of 10m to overhead power lines.

• Do not use the power pruner in a humid or wet environment.

• Plan an escape route from falling branches in advance. This escape route must be free from obstacles to ensure retreating without danger.

• Position yourself outside the range of falling branches.
• Make sure that someone is within calling distance in case of an accident.
• Keep other persons away. The safety distance is 2.5-times the length of the branch to be cut, but at least 6m . 15
• Avoid abnormal posture. Keep at any time the balance. Do not work with the upper part of the body leaned forward.
• Operate the power pruner only with safe standing position. Hold the power pruner slightly to the right of the own body.
• Hold the power pruner always firmly with both hands, left hand on the front handle (15) and right hand on the rear handle (12). Always use the carrying strep supplied.
• Frequently change the working position to prevent a one-sided work position.
• Immediately stop working when you feel unwell (e.g. headache, dizziness, nausea, etc.). Otherwise there is an increased risk of accidents. Observe sufficient break times to rest.
• Never work
• with stretched arms
• standing on a ladder, a staging or a tree.
• Do not attempt to hit an already existing cut.
• Do not use the power pruner for lifting or moving of wood.
• Saw splintered wood with care. There is risk of injury by wood pieces carried away.
• Make sure that the wood is free of foreign object (nails etc).
• Do not overload the machine! You work better and safer in the given performance range.
• Be careful at the end of a sawing cut. As soon as the power pruner leaves the wood the force of weight changes. There is risk of accident for legs and feet.
• Remove the power pruner only with running saw chain out of the cut.
• If the saw chain gets jammed in the wood, stop it immediately and remove the mains plug from the socket. Use a wedge to free the guide bar.
• Do not use any cracked saw chains or such that have changed their shape.
• Never touch wire fences or the ground with the running saw chain.
• Switch off the power pruner between the cuts when several cuts are carried out.
• Make breaks when sawing so that the engine can cool down.

Before sawing

Carry out the following checks before the initiation and regularly during the sawing process:

Has the power pruner been assembled completely and properly?
Is the power pruner in good and safe condition?

Is the oil tank filled?

Check the oil level on a regular basis. Replenish immediately oil when oil level indicates "MIN" so that the saw chain does not run dry.

Is saw chain clamped correctly?

Observe the points in paragraph „Clamping saw chain".

Is saw chain sharpened correctly?

Use only well sharpened saw chains as edgeless saw chains increase not only the risk of backstrokes but also charge the motor.

Is handhold clean and dry - free of oil and resin?
Is workplace free of risks to stumble?
Do you wear the required protective equipment?
Did you read and understand all advices?
Is the power plug and the extension cable in good condition?

Do not use any defective cables.

Is the extension cable correctly placed? 12

Work instructions (saw techniques)

• Do not cut thin branches or bosks. The power pruner is not suitable for those works.
  Cut larger branches into several sections to avoid splintering and breaking.
• Do not cut any branches where their diameter is greater than the cutting length of the device.
• Do not stand directly underneath a branch to be cut.
  Watch out especially for falling branches.
  Also look out for branches snapping back.

Always wear a helmet in order to protect yourself against perches falling down.

Stepcut 16

For horizontal branches without being top heavy

The branch section falls down in a controlled manner without tipping over.

1 Set the first cut from below, approx. one third of the branch diameter.
The second cut is made on the same level as the first cut or moved further toward the inside (negative breaking step).
3 Remove the remaining branch section.

Attention: Step cut error! 17

If the cut is made offset toward the outside (positive breaking step) and exceeded, the power pruner can be pulled along.

Maintenance and cleaning

Before each maintenance and cleaning work

• switch off device
• Wait for standstill of the power pruner
• Pull out power plug

Maintenance and repair work other than those described in this chapter is only allowed to be carried out by service staff.

For maintaining and cleaning, removed security devices must unconditionally be mounted properly and proved again.

Use only original parts. Other parts can result in unexpected damages and injuries.

Maintenance

In order to aviod possible injuries wear gloves.

To guarantee a long and reliable usage of the power pruner carry out the following maintenance works regularly.

Check the power pruner for

• loose or damaged saw chain
• loose fastenings
• wear, especially chain, guide bar and chain wheel
• worn or damaged components
• correct assembly and faultless covers and protective devices.

Necessary repair works or maintenance have to be carried out before using the power pruner.

Saw chain and guide bar

Saw chain and guide bar are exposed to a great extent of wearing. Replace the saw chain and the guide bar without any delay if their proper function is no longer ensured. "Installing the guide bar and the saw chain".

Sharpening of saw chain

You can only work safely and well with a sharp and clean saw chain. Damaged or incorrectly sharpened saw chains increase the risk of kickbacks.

The saw chain has to be sharpened if

instead of wood shavings only saw dust is ejected
you have to press the power pruner through the wood during cutting

For sharpening a saw chain some expertise is necessary. The saw chain must be regrinded in a specialised shop.

You can also sharpen your saw chain yourself by using our electric sharpener KSG 220 (article-no.: 302360).

Cleaning of guide bar

Regularly inspect and clean

the guide slot (B) of the guide bar and
the chain clamping boring (26)

Remove any burr using a flat file and emery paper.
Turn round the guide bar after each chain exchange/sharpening to avoid single-side wearing.

Immediately replace a damaged guide bar.

Chain wheel

The demand of the chain wheel (20) is particularly great. Check regularly the teeth of the chain wheel for wear or damages.

A worn or damaged chain wheel reduces the durability of the saw chain and should therefore immediately be exchanged by the customer service.

Cleaning

Clean the power pruner carefully after each application so that the faultless function is kept.

Clean the case with a soft brush or a dry cloth.
Water, solvents and polishing agents shall not be applied.
Check that the ventilation slots for the motor cooling are free (risk of overheating).
After a longer operation period (1 - 3 hours) remove the cover (4), the guide bar (1) and the chain (2) and clean them with a brush.
If heavily contaminated, clean the device using a commercial chain cleaner.
Remove all adhering substances with a brush from the chain wheel (20) and the guide bar fastening (C).
Clean the oil flow canal (25) with a clean cloth or a brush.

Transport

Remove mains plug before each transport.

Transport the power pruner only with the chain protection put on.

Storage

• Store unused equipment in a dry, locked place out of the reach of children.
  Before a longer period of storage carry out the following to extend the power pruner's service life and ensure an easy operation:

thoroughly clean the device
Remove the oil from the oil tank.

• Some chain oils tend to encrustations after a longer period. For this reason the oil system should be flushed before a longer storing with a chain saw cleaner. Fill the cleaner up to the middle (appr. 50 ml) into the oil tank. Close the tank. Switch on the power pruner without assembled guide bar and chain until the complete cleaner has left the oil opening of the power pruner.
  Put the saw chain for a short time into an oil bath and enwrap it afterwards in an oil paper.
  Put the chain guard in place.

Possible faults

Before each fault elimination:

• switch off device
  Wait for the power pruner to come to a standstill
• Pull out power plug

After each fault clearance, put into operation and recheck all security installations.
