Safety instructions - before sawing Carry out the following checks before the initiation and regularly during the sawing process. Observe the relevant sections in the operating instruction manual: Is the chain saw assembled completely and properly? Is the chain saw in good and safe condition? Only use a suited guide bar/saw chain combination as described under “Technical data”. Incorrect combinations increase the risk of kickbacks. Is the oil tank filled (chain lubrication)? Check the oil level on a regular basis. Top up saw chain oil without delay to prevent the saw chain from running dry. Is saw chain clamped correctly? Observe the points in paragraph „Clamping saw chain“. Is saw chain sharpened correctly? You only work well and safely with a sharpened saw chain. Is chain brake released and works properly? Observe the points in paragraph "Checking the chain brake”. Are the handles clean and dry – free of oil and resin? Before starting your work make sure that: − no other persons, children or animals stay within the woring area, − you can always step back without any barriers, − your standing area is free from foreign objects, brushwood and branches, − you have always a secure standing position.

Is workplace free of risks to stumble? Keep your workplace in an orderly condition! Untidiness can result in accidents. Risk of stumbling. Take into consideration environmental influences: − Delay the work in case of disadvantageous weather (rain, snow, ice, wind) – increased risk of accidents! − 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. − Do not use the chain saw near inflammable liquids or gases - Risk of fire. The operator is responsible for accidents or risks which occur to other persons or their properties.

Electrical safety Design of the connection cable according to IEC 60 245 (H 07 RN-F) with a core cross-profile section of at least − 1.5 mm2 for cable lengths up to 25 m − 2.5 mm2 for cable lengths over 25 m Long and thin connection lines result in a potential drop. The motor does not reach any longer its maximal power; the function of the device is reduced. Plugs and coupler outlets on connection cables must be made of rubber, non-rigid PVC or other thermoplastic material of same mechanical stability or be covered with this material. The connector of the connection cable must be splashproof. When running the connection line observe that it does not interfere, is not squeezed, bended and the plug connection does not get wet. Do not use the cable for purposes for which it is not meant. Protect the cable against heat, oil and sharp edges. Do not use the cable to pull the plug from the socket. Wind off completely the cable when using a cable drum. Regularly check the extension cables and replace them if they are damaged. Do not use any defective connection cables. When working outdoors, only use extension cables especially approved and appropriately labelled for outdoor use. Do not set up any provisional electrical connections. Protect yourself against electric shocks. Avoid body contact with grounded parts (e.g. pipes, heating apparatus, cookers, fridges etc.) Do not hose down the device with water. (origin of danger electric current). Never bypass protective devices or deactivate them. Only hook up the machine by means of a fault-current circuit breaker (30 mA). The electrical connection or repairs to electrical parts of the machine must be carried out by a certified electrician or one of our customer service points. Local regulations – especially regarding protective measures – must be observed. Repairs to other parts of the machine must be carried out by the manufacturer or one of his customer service points.

Use only original spare. Accidents can arise for the user through the use of other spare parts. The manufacturer is not liable for any damage or injury resulting from such action.

Safety instructions - operation  Never saw with only one hand. Hold the chain saw always firmly with both hands, left hand on the front handhold (4) and right hand on the rear handhold (17). Hold the chain saw slightly on the right of the own body. Avoid abnormal posture. Provide a safe standing position and keep at any time the balance. Never work − with stretched arms − on hardly accessible places − above shoulder height − standing on a ladder, a staging or a tree. Activate the chain brake when moving to a tree. Before leaving the chain saw (work break) bring it in a safe condition (cover the guide bar, apply the chain brake) and put it on a place where nobody is endangered. Secure the chain saw against unauthorized access.

Let the chain saw work by producing a light leverage pressure over the claw stopper. When sawing do not press with strength. When sawing thicker perches or trunks set back the claw stopper on a deeper point. For setting back release the claw stopper from the wood and place it again in a deeper position. Do not remove the saw here out of the cut. Be careful at the end of a sawing cut. As far as the saw leaves the wood the force of weight changes. There is risk of accident for legs and feet. Remove the chain saw only with running saw chain out of the cut. If the saw chain gets jammed in the wood, stop it immediately. Use a wedge to free the guide bar.

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.

Safety instructions - while sawing Never work alone. Keep acoustic and visual contact to other persons at all times to allow immediate first aid in emergency cases. Immediately stop the engine at imminent danger or in emergency cases. Never leave the saw running unattended. Immediately stop working when you feel unwell (e.g. headache, dizziness, nausea, etc.). Otherwise there is an increased risk of accidents. When switching on the chain saw must be supported and held safely. Chain and guide bar must stand free. Start cutting only when the saw chain has reached the full number of revolutions. Do not overload the machine! You work better and safer in the given performance range. Do not use the chain saw for lifting or moving of wood. Make breaks when sawing so that the engine can cool down. Do not place a hot chain saw in dry grass or onto inflammable objects. Never get in contact with the running saw with metallic fences or the ground. Make sure that the wood is free of foreign object (stones, nails etc). Make sure that the wood can not turn when sawing. Saw splintered wood with care. There is risk of injury by wood pieces carried away. Avoid saw backstroke by a correct guiding of the saw.

Note: Safety instructions - saw backstroke

Safety instructions - saw backstroke What is saw backstroke? Saw backstroke is the sudden strike upwards or backwards of the running chain saw in direction of the operator. This happens when the guide bar tip gets in contact with the sawing − Â material (unintended) or other hard objects. − the saw chain is jammed at the guide bar tip. The chain saw reacts uncontrolled and causes frequently heavy injuries with the operator. Carry out lateral cuts, diagonal cuts and longitudinal cuts with increased attention because here the claw stopper is not put on.

How to avoid saw backstroke? ƒ  ƒ  ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ

Always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands. For better control saw with the lower edge of the guide bar. Hold the chain saw as close as possible to the horizontal position when contacting wood. Â Never saw with the guide bar tip. Â 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. Only work with sharp and correctly sharpened saw chain. Only work with correctly clamped saw chain. Â Use claw stopper (16) as lever.

 Use the claw stopper (16) for fixing the chain saw on the wood. Use the claw stopper when sawing as lever. Do not use the chain saw for lifting or moving wood.

ƒ Never work above height of shoulders. ƒ Never cut through several perches at the same time. When releasing make sure that no other perch is touched.

ƒ If possible use a sawhorse when cutting to length. ƒ Stab cuts shall only be carried out by instructed personal.

General notes Switch the machine off and remove the mains plug from the socket when − contact of chain saw with soil, stones, nails or other foreign substances B check immediately chain and sword − carrying out repair works − maintenance and cleaning − removal of faults − cut through connection cables − checking of connection cables whether they are swallowed or damaged − transport − clamping again the chain − chain change − leaving of machine (also for short-term interruption) Maintain your chain saw with care: − Keep your tools sharp and clean in order to be able to work better and safer. − Comply with the maintenance instructions and the advices for lubrication and for the tool change. − Keep the handholds dry and free from resin, oil and grease. Check the machine for possible damage: − Before further use of the machine the protection devices or slightly damaged parts must be checked carefully for their proper and intended function. − Check whether the movable parts function perfectly and do not stick or whether the parts are damaged, All parts must be correctly installed and fulfil all conditions to ensure perfect operation of the chain saw. − Damaged guards and parts must be properly repaired or exchanged by a recognized, specialist workshop; insofar as nothing else is stated in the instructions for use. − Damaged or illegible security labels have to be replaced. − Do not allow any tool key to be plugged in! Before switching on, check always that all tools are removed. − Store unused equipment in a dry, locked place out of the reach of children. Do not carry out repair operations on the machine other than those described in section “Maintenance” but contact the manufacturer or authorized customer service centre. Repairs to other parts of the machine must be carried out by the manufacturer or one of his customer service points. Use only original spare parts, accessories and special accessory parts. Accidents can arise for the user through the use of other spare parts. The manufacturer is not liable for any damage or injury resulting from such action.

Connect chain saw to power supply system only after having finished the complete assembly. Risk of njury! Wear protective gloves when assembling. Put the chain saw on an even face. B B Remove the cover (10) by loosening the fastening screw (11). B Put on the guide bar. B Insert the saw chains into the circular guide slot of the guide bar. Attend to the correct running direction of the chain links. When assembling, pay attention that the chain links are B lying correctly within the guide slot and on the chain wheel (13). Saw chain can hardly be put around the chain wheel? Turn the chain clamp (22) anti-clockwise until the saw chain can easily be put around the chain wheel. Turn the chain clamp (22) clockwise until the saw chain is firmly clamped. B Now, refasten the cover (10). B Clamp the saw chain as described in paragraph „Clamping of saw chain“.

Before the first commissioning Chain lubrication The chain saw is not delivered filled with saw chain adhering oil.

L Never operate the chain saw without lubrication. Any use without chain saw oil may result in damage of the chain saw 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 B Put the chain saw on a suitable base. B Unscrew the oil tank lock (9). B C Fill the oil tank with bio-degradable chain saw adhering oil (app. 90 ml). The fill level can be seen on the inspection window (17). For easier filling use a funnel. When filling observe that no dirt reaches the oil tank. B 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 chain saws.

L Mains connection Compare the voltage given on the machine model plate e.g. 230 V with the mains voltage and connect the saw to the relevant and properly earthed plug. L Use a shockproof plug, mains voltage 230 V with residual current circuit breaker (FI switch 30 mA). Only use connection cables with sufficient diameters.

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

Switching On / Off Do not use a device where − the contactor can not be switched on and off. − the chain and motor brake does not work properly Damaged switches must be repaired or replaced immediately by the customer service.

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

L Please observe the following: B a new saw chain must be reclamped more often until it has elongated. B in case of heating of chain to operating temperature it expands and needs to be reclamped.

When switching on the chain saw must be supported and held safely. Chain and guide bar must stand free. B Release the chain brake. Push the front hand guard (3) towards the front handle (Pos. 1). The chain saw is ready for operation.

After finishing the sawing works release tension of saw chain as in case of cooling too high tensions would emerge in the saw chain. B if chain flackers or comes out of the guide clamp it again immediately.

Clamping of saw chain:

B Release On/Off switch (6).

Loosen the fastening screw (11) 1 – 2 revolutions anticlockwise. B Turn the chain tension ring (12) stepwise clockwise until the correct chain tension is reached. The engaging effect prevents that the chain tension loosens.

B L The fastening screw (11) turns with it; possibly it must Chain brake The chain brake is a protective mechanism which in case of a stroke back chain saw is initiated via the front hand protection or after releasing the on/off switch. The saw chain stops immediately (< 0,1 sec.).

Checking of chain brake Check the chain brake’s proper function before each work start. • Start the engine. • Hold the chain saw with both hands and allow the engine to run. Â Use the back of your hand to press against the front hand guard. The chain saw must stop immediately. It is not allowed to use this chain saw without properly working chain brake. Please contact the manufacturer or the customer service point.

be released again during the clamping process. The saw chain is correctly clamped when it can be lifted in the centre of the guide bar by appr. 3 – 4 mm. Turn the chain tension ring (12) anti-clockwise when the saw chain is clamped to much. Refasten the fastening screw with the hand. Check wether the chain links are positioned correctly in the guide slot of the guide bar.

Working with the chain saw Additional advices for sawing trunks Never put the trunk for sawing on the ground. Support the trunk in such manner that the cut does not close and the saw chain jams. Use a safe base (e.g. sawhorse). Avoid contact to ground with the guide bar tip or saw chain. Adapt shorter trunks before sawing and clamp them firmly. Avoid cutting of thin bosk and lumber. The chain saw is not suitable for those works. Carry out longitudinal cuts with special care as the claw stopper is not used. Avoid saw backstroke by guiding the saw with a small angle.

When working at a slope take always the position above or on the side of the trunk or the lying sawing material respectively. Pay attention to rolling trunks.

Additional advices for chopping down trees

Additional advices for sawing timber under

Pay attention to the length of the guide bar. Only those trees are allowed to be cut which have a trunk diameter which is smaller than the length of the guide bar. Ö Safeguard the dangerous zone (D) before cutting. Make sure that there are no persons or animals in the fall area. Danger to life! Ö Make sure that the working area around the trunk is free of risk to stumble and that you have an escape route (F) which is free of obstacles. Ö Before cutting the tree down decide on the felling direction (C). Before chopping the tree decide on the chopping direction. Consider in this case the balance point of the treetop, neighbour trees, slope direction, state of health of the tree and the wind direction. On this side the kerf is cut in. Remove interfering branches, scrub and obstacles from the working area at the trunk and make sure that you have a safe standing position. Thoroughly clean the trunk foot – sand, stones and other foreign objects make the saw chain edgeless or may damage it. Consider the state of health of the tree – be careful with trunks with damages or deadwood (droughty, rotten or dead wood).

If perches, trees or wood under tension become free of tension by sawing extreme caution is demanded. The sawing material can react completely uncontrolled and result in heavy injuries or death. Such works shall only be carried out by instructed specialists. Ö

For all works set always first of all on the pressure side n the releasing cut and then the dividing cut chain saw can jam or strike back. Ö

Upper side of wood under tensile stress

Place one cut (one third of the diameter of the trunk) from the bottom up.

Then place a second cut on the same point from top which cuts through the trunk.

Underside of wood under tensile stress

Place one cut (one third of the diameter of the trunk) from top to bottom.

Then place a second cut on the same point from bottom which cuts through the trunk.

Strong trunks and strong tension

Place one cut (one third of the diameter of the trunk) from buttom up.

Then place a second cut with distance to the first cut from top which cuts through the trunk.

Cutting off of perches

B For horizontal branches without being top heavy

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

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). Remove the remaining branch section.

Such works shall only be carried out by instructed specialists.

Chopping a tree: Â Cut a kerf with the saw of approximately one third of the tree diameter into the trunk. First of all place the horizontal cut and then as secondly a cut from top in an angle of 45°. Â Shout the warning "Caution" or "Tree is falling" before starting the fell cut. Â Now saw on the opposite side of the trunk a horizontal chopping cut. This cut should be placed a bit higher (appr. 4 cm) than the horizontal cut of the kerf. Â By no means cut through the trunk. Appr. 1/10 of the trunk diameter must remain. If the tree starts falling ahead of time pull out the chain saw immediately out of the cut and step back or to the side. Â Push a key into the horizontal chopping cut in order to make the tree falling. Â Pay attention, when tree starts falling, to perches or twigs falling down.

Maintenance and cleaning Before each maintenance and cleaning work − switch off device − wait for stop of chain saw − pull out main plug Further maintenance and cleaning works than described in this chapter shall only be carried out by the manufacturer or companies named by the manufacturer. 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.

Saw chain and guide bar are exposed to great wearing demands. Immediately exchange saw chain and guide bar when the faultless function is not guaranteed.

B B B B B B B Maintenance In order to avoid possible injuries wear gloves. To guarantee a long and reliable usage of the chain saws carry out the following maintenance works regularly. Check the chain saw for obvious defects such as − loose, hung out or damaged saw chain − loose fastenings − worn or damaged components Check the chain saw after each application for − wear, especially chain, guide bar and chain wheel. − correctly assembled and faultless covers and protective devices. Necessary repair works or maintenance works have to be carried out before the usage of the chain saw.

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 ½ only wood dust is thrown out instead of shavings ½ you have to press the chain saw through the wood during cutting

L Inexperienced users: Have the saw chain sharpened by a specialist/service workshop. You can also sharpen your saw chain yourself by using our electric sharpener KSG 220 (article-no.: 302360). Saw chain type Depth gauge distance T Sharpening angle α Breast angle β Planing tooth length a

B B Put the chain saw on an even face. Remove the cover (10) by loosening the fastening screw (11). Turn the chain clamper (22) anti-clockwise in order to release the saw chain a bit. Take off the guide bar with saw chain. Clean the guide slot thoroughly when only the saw chain is exchanged. When assembling, pay attention that the chain links are lying correctly within the guide slot and on the chain wheel (13). Turn the chain clamp (22) clockwise until the saw chain is clamped. Now, refasten the cover (10). Clamp the saw chain as described in paragraph „Clamping of saw chain“.

Chain wheel The demand of the chain wheel (13) is particularly great. Check regularly the teeth of the chain wheel for wear or damages.

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

Checking of the oil automatic Check the function of the automatic chain lubrication by switching on the chain saw and holding it with the pike 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 B clean the oil flow canal (14) and the upper chain clamping boring (15). B If this is not successful please contact the customer service.

Cleaning Clean the chain saw thoroughly after each application so that the faultless function is kept. B Clean the case with a soft brush or a dry cloth. Water, solvents and polishing agents shall not be applied. B Pay attention to that the ventilation slots for the motor cooling are free (risk of overheating). B In case of harder pollution or resins put the chain for some hours in a container with chain cleaner. Afterwards wash up the chain with clear water. B Remove all adhering substances with a brush from the chain wheel (13) and the sword fastening. B Clean the oil flow canal (14) with a clean cloth.

Hint: 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 chain saw without assembled guide bar and chain until the complete cleaner has left the oil opening of the chain saw. B Put the saw chain for a short time into an oil bath and enwrap it afterwards in an oil paper .

Transport Remove mains plug before each transport. Transport the chain only with the chain protection put on. When transporting the product within a car put it in the boot or on a separate loading area. Secure the chain saw against tipping over.

Storage Store unused equipment in a dry, locked place out of the reach of children. To extend the service life of the saw and guarantee smooth operation, before storing for a longer period B thoroughly clean the chain saw B Remove the oil from the oil tank.
