General Power Tool Safety Instructions 몇 WARNING ● Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri- ous injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains- operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. 1 Work area safety a Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark work areas invite accidents. b Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos- pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq- uids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c Keep children and by- standers away while oper- ating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. 2 Electrical safety a Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapt- er plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock. b Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur- faces such as pipes, radia- tors, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of elec- tric shock. d Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car- rying, pulling or unplug- ging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entan- gled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e When operating a power tool outdoors, use an ex- tension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use re- duces the risk of electric shock.28 English f If operating a power tool in a damp location is una- voidable, use a residual current device (RCD) pro- tected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. 3 Personal safety a Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com- mon sense when operat- ing a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influ- ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in se- rious personal injury. b Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropri- ate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-posi- tion before connecting to power source and/or bat- tery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the pow- er tool may result in personal injury. e Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal- ance at all times. This ena- bles better control of the power tool in unexpected sit- uations. f Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex- traction and collection fa- cilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related haz- ards. 4 Power tool use and care a Do not force the power tool. Use the correct pow- er tool for your applica- tion. The correct power tool will do the job better and saf- er at the rate for which it was designed. b Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turnEnglish 29 it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, chang- ing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preven- tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained us- ers. e Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s op- eration. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly main- tained power tools. f Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main- tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g Use the power tool, acces- sories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these in- structions, taking into ac- count the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations dif- ferent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. 5 Battery tool use and care a Recharge only with the chargers specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. b Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may cre- ate a risk of injury and fire. c When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metallic ob- jects, like paperclips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metallic ob- jects that can make a con- nection from one terminal to another. Shorting the bat- tery terminals together may cause burns or a fire. d Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from30 English the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc- curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addi- tionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the bat- tery may cause irritation or burns. 6 Service a Have your power tool ser- viced by a qualified repair person using only identi- cal replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Additional General Safety Instructions Note ● Regulations may restrict the use of this device in some regions. Seek advice from your local authorities. DANGER ● Risk of fatal inju- ry from cuts as a result of uncon- trolled device movements. Keep body parts away from moving parts. ● Risk of injury from hurled or falling objects. Never use the device if there are per- sons, in particular children or an- imals, within a radius of 15 m. ● No changes may be made to the device. 몇 WARNING ● Children and persons unfamiliar with these in- structions are not allowed to op- erate the device. The age of the operator may be limited by local restrictions. ● You need an un- obstructed view of the work area in order to be able to recognise any potential dangers. Use the device only under good lighting conditions. ● Before operation, make sure that the device, all control elements including the chain brake and safety devices are working properly. Check for loose locks, ensure that all pro- tective devices and handles are correctly fitted and securely fas- tened. Only use the device when it is in a correct condition. ● Nev- er use the device if the trigger on the handle does not switch on and off correctly. ● Replace any worn or damaged parts before operating the device. ● Risk of kickback due to loss of balance. Avoid an abnormal posture, keep a stable, safe footing and maintain your balance. ●  Imme- diately stop the device and check for damage or identify the cause of the vibration if the de- vice has been dropped, hit or vi- brates abnormally. Have damage repaired by the author- ised Customer Service or re- place the device. 몇 CAUTION ● Wear full eye protection and hearing protec- tion, strong and sturdy gloves and head protection when oper- ating the device. Wear a face mask when the work is dusty. ● Wear long, heavy trousers, sturdy shoes and well-fittingEnglish 31 gloves when working with the device. Do not work barefoot. Do not wear any jewellery, san- dals or short trousers. ● Risk of injury when loose fitting clothing, hair or jewellery is caught by moving parts of the device. Keep clothing and jewellery away from moving parts of the device. Tie long hair back. ● Hearing protection can impair your ability to hear warning sounds, so pay attention to haz- ards in your vicinity and in the work area. ● Only use accesso- ries and spare parts which are approved by the manufacturer. Only original accessories and original spare parts ensure that the appliance will run fault-free and safely. Chain saw safety warnings Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chain saw is oper- ating. Before you start the chain saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inat- tention while operating chain saws may cause entangle- ment of your clothing or body with the saw chain. Always hold the chain saw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done. Hold the power tool by insu- lated gripping surfaces on- ly, because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock. Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of a chain saw while up in a tree may re- sult in personal injury. Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when standing on fixed, secure and level sur- face. Slippery or unstable sur- faces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain saw. When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the ten- sion in the wood fibres is re-32 English leased, the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the chain saw out of control. Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance. Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw switched off and away from your body. When transporting or storing the chain saw always fit the guide bar cover. Proper han- dling of the chain saw will re- duce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain. Follow instructions for lu- bricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or lubri- cated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control. Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not intended. For example: do not use chain saw for cut- ting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materi- als. Use of the chain saw for operations different than in- tended could result in a haz- ardous situation. Causes and operator prevention of kickback Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide rail touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reac- tion, kicking the guide rail up and back towards the operator. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide rail may push the guide rail rapidly back towards the operator. Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw, which could result in seri- ous personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety de- vices built into your saw. As a chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep your cut- ting jobs free from accident or in- jury. Kickback is the result of tool mis- use and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below: Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encir- cling the chain saw handles, with both hands on the sawEnglish 33 and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precau- tions are taken. Do not let go of the chain saw. Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. This helps prevent un- intended tip contact and ena- bles better control of the chain saw in unexpected situations. Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect re- placement bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback. Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and mainte- nance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback. Additional safety instructions for chainsaws Note ● Kärcher recommends sawing tree trunks on a saw- horse during first use. ● When using the chainsaw, keep a first aid kit for large wounds and a means of calling for help. A larg- er and more extensive first aid kit should be nearby. 몇 WARNING ● Ensure a firm footing, a clean workplace and plan a retreat path from falling branches before using the de- vice. ● Beware of exhaust fumes, oil vapour and sawdust. If necessary, wear a mask or breathing apparatus. ● Always hold the chainsaw tightly with both hands. Hold the handles with your thumb on one side and your fingers on the other side. Hold the rear handle with your right hand and the front handle with your left hand. ● Risk of in- jury. Do not make any modifica- tions to the device. Do not use the device to drive attachments or devices not recommended by the manufacturer of the device. ● Before switching on the de- vice, make sure that the saw chain does not touch any ob- jects. ● Serious injuries or death if a wrongly tensioned saw chain jumps out of the guide rail. Check the chain tension before each use. The length of the chain depends on the tempera- ture. ● Ensure that all protective devices, handles and bucking spikes are correctly fitted, se- curely fastened and in good con- dition. ● Serious injuries due to incorrect working methods: You need to be alert at all times and be in control of your workplace when working with the chainsaw. The size of the workspace depends on the task to be performed and the size of the tree or work piece.34 English Felling a tree requires a larger workspace than e.g. trimming. Never saw with your body in line with the guide rail and chain. This reduce the danger of being hit by the chain on the head or body during a kick- back. Do not move the chainsaw back and forth but rather let the chain do the work, keep the chain sharp and do not try to push the chain through the cut. Do not apply pressure to the saw at the end of the cut. Be prepared to relax the load on the saw when it has cut through the wood. Do not stop the chainsaw while sawing. Let the saw run until it has finished the saw cut. ● Familiarize yourself with your new chainsaw by making simple cuts in safely supported wood. Repeat this exercise if you have not used your chainsaw for a long time. ● Do not saw vines and/or bushes with a diameter of less than 75 mm. ● Switch the device off, lock the chain brake, remove the battery pack and make sure that all moving parts have stopped moving: Before cleaning the device or removing a blockage. When leaving the device unat- tended. Before mounting or removing attachments. Before checking, maintaining or working on the device. 몇 CAUTION ● The chainsaw is a heavy device. People who use the chainsaw should be physi- cally fit and in good health. You should have good eyesight, agil- ity, balance and manual skills. In case of doubt, they should not use the chainsaw. ● When work- ing with the device, always wear a safety helmet with a grille visor to reduce the danger of injury from a kickback into the face and head. Residual risks 몇 WARNING ● Certain residual risks remain present, even when the device is operated in the prescribed manner. The following dangers can be present when using the device: Vibration can cause injuries. Use the correct tools for the job, use the handles provided and restrict the working time and hazard exposure time. Noise can cause hearing inju- ries. Wear hearing protection and limit the duration of expo- sure. Incision injuries on contact with exposed saw teeth of the saw chain.English 35 Incision injuries due to unfore- seen, abrupt movements or kickback of the g bar scab- bard. Incision injuries / risk of injec- tion by parts flying away from the saw chain. Injuries caused by hurled ob- jects (wood shavings, splin- ters). Inhalation of dust and parti- cles. Skin contact with the lubricant / oil. Risk reduction 몇 CAUTION ● Using the device for longer pe- riods can cause poor circula- tion in the hands due to vibrations. A general period of use cannot be set, because this depends on several influ- encing factors: Personal tendency to suffer from poor circulation (fre- quently cold fingers, tingling sensation in the fingers) Low ambient temperature. Wear warm gloves to protect your hands. Holding the device too tightly hindering blood circulation. Continuous operation is more harmful than operation inter- rupted by work breaks. You should see a doctor if us- ing the device regularly and for lengthy periods of time, and in the event of repeated occur- rences of symptoms such as tingling in the fingers or cold fingers. Intended use DANGER Improper use Danger of death from incision injuries Only use the device for its proper use. The chainsaw is only intended for private use. The chainsaw is intended for outdoor use. For safety reasons, always hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands. The chainsaw was developed for sawing small branches, large branches, trunks and beams. The cutting length of the guide rail determines the maxi- mum possible diameter of the sawed material. The chainsaw may only be used for cutting wood. Do not use the chainsaw in a wet environment or in the rain. Use the chainsaw only in a well lit environment. Modifications and changes to the device that are not authorised by the manufacturer are prohibited for safety reasons. Any other use is prohibited. The user shall be liable for hazards arising as a result of improper use. Environmental protection The packing materials can be recycled.

Safety devices 몇 CAUTION Missing or modified safety devices Safety devices are provided for your own protection. Never modify or bypass safety devices.36 English Chain with a low risk of kickback A chain with a low risk of kickback reduces the likelihood of kickback. The raked teeth (engagement blades) in front of each saw tooth prevent the saw teeth from engaging too deeply in the kickback zone, thus reducing the amount of kickback. When grinding the chain, there is a danger that this safety function will be overridden. If the saw perfor- mance deteriorates, the chain should be replaced for safety reasons. For spare parts, use only the combina- tion of guide rail and chain recommended by the manu- facturer. Guide rails Guide rails whose tips have a small radius usually carry a lower risk of kickback. Therefore use a guide rail with matching chain for the task, which is just long enough. Longer guide rails in- crease the likelihood of loss of control during sawing. Check the chain tension before each use (see chapter Checking the chain tension). If the chain tension is not set correctly, sawing smaller branches (thinner than the full length of the guide rail) increases the danger of the chain being thrown off. Chain catcher If the chain loosens or tears, the chain catcher prevents the chain from being thrown in the direction of the user. Bucking spikes The integrated bucking spikes can be used as a fulcrum to give the chain saw stability during a cut. When sawing, press the device forward until the metal spikes penetrate the edge of the wood. Subsequently moving the rear handle up or down in the direction of the cut reduces the physical strain when working with the chainsaw. Chain brake Chain brakes are used in case of danger to bring the chain quickly to a standstill. The chain must come to a standstill immediately when the hand guard/chain brake lever is pressed in the direc- tion of the guide rail. The chain brake cannot prevent kickback, but reduces the risk of injury if the guide rail hits the user in the event of a kickback. The proper function of the chain brake must be checked before each use of the device (see chapter Checking the functionality of the chain brake). Symbols on the device Protective clothing DANGER Risk of fatal injury from cut injuries. Wear suitable pro- tective clothing when working with the device.

Working techniques Working position DANGER Uncontrolled movements of the chainsaw Danger of death from incision injuries Plan the cut before cutting and identify any potential dangers. Always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands. Do not guide the chainsaw in the body axis. Illustration O Carry the chainsaw at your side so that parts of your body do not get in the range of movement of the chainsaw. Keep as far away as possible from the sawed mate- rial. Never work on a ladder or standing in a tree. Never work in unstable locations. Pull in/recoil DANGER Uncontrolled movements of the chainsaw Danger of death from incision injuries Plan the cut before cutting and identify any potential dangers. Always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands. Pull in/recoil is an effect that occurs in principle in the opposite direction to the chain running direction on the sawed material. Illustration P 1 Pull in 2 Recoil When sawing with the underside of the guide rail - fore- hand cut - the chainsaw can be pulled suddenly towards the sawn object if the saw chain jams or hits a solid ob- ject in the wood. To avoid pulling in, always set the bucking spikes securely onto the wood. When sawing with the top side of the guide rail - back- hand cut -the chainsaw can be propelled back towards the user if the saw chain jams or hits a solid object in the wood. To avoid a recoil: Do not pinch the top of the guide rail. Do not twist the guide rail in the cut. Kickback DANGER Uncontrolled movements of the chainsaw Danger of death from incision injuries Plan the cut before cutting and identify any potential dangers. Always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands. When kickback occurs, the chainsaw is suddenly and uncontrollably flung in the direction of the user. A kickback occurs when e.g. the saw chain in the upper region of the blade guide tip unintentionally encounters an obstacle or is trapped. Illustration Q Always hold the chainsaw so that the kickback forc- es can be withstood. Do not let go of the chainsaw. Do not bend too far forward when sawing. Do not use the chainsaw above shoulder level. Always wait until the chain has reached full speed and saw at full throttle. Do not saw with the saw rail tip. Insert the guide rail into a started cut only with ex- treme care. Pay attention to the position of the trunk and to forc- es that can close the cut and jam the saw chain. Never saw off several branches at the same time when pruning. Only work with a sharp and properly tensioned chain. Use a chain with a low kickback risk and a guide rail with a small rail head. Plan the fall direction and retreat path DANGER Falling tree Danger of death Tree felling work may only be carried out by trained per- sons. When planning the fall direction, note the following: The distance to the next workplace must be at least

Do not perform felling in strong wind. The tree can fall unchecked. Determine the direction of fall based on tree growth, terrain (slope) and weather conditions. Always drop the tree into a growth gap, never onto other trees. A retreat path must be planned for every worker. Where: The retreat path us to be positioned approx. 45 ° di- agonally opposite the direction of fall. Illustration R Free the retreat path from obstacles. Do not place any tools and equipment on the retreat path. When working on a steep slope, plan the retreat path parallel to the slope. When using the retreat path, watch for falling branches and observe the crown space.English 39 Preparing the work area at the trunk

1. Clean the work area at the trunk of interfering

branches, scrub and obstacles. Safe stance ensured.

2. Thoroughly clean the root, e.g. with an axe.

Sand, stones and other foreign matter make the chain blunt.

3. Remove large roots.

a Cut the root vertically. Illustration S b Cut the root horizontally. c Remove the loose root piece from the work area. Setting the felling cut DANGER Falling tree Danger of death Tree felling work may only be carried out by trained per- sons.

1. Make sure nobody will be endangered by the falling

tree. Calls can be overhead due to engine noise. Only persons occupied with felling may be present in the felling area.

2. Set the felling notch at right angles to the direction

of fall. a As close as possible to the ground, make a hori- zontal cut (sole cut) over approx. 1/3 of the trunk diameter. Illustration T b Make an oblique cut (roof cut) at an angle of ap- prox. 45-60 °.

3. Set the felling cut.

a Make the felling cut parallel to the sole cut and at least 50 mm higher. b Only make the felling cut so far that a break-off strip at least 50 mm wide remains. The break-off strip prevents the tree from twisting and falling in the wrong direction. As the fell line approaches the break-off strip, the tree should begin to fall.

4. Stop the felling cut if there is a danger that the tree

will not fall in the desired direction or sway back and jam the saw chain. Use wedges to extend the cut and fell the tree in the desired direction.

5. pull the chainsaw out of the cut when the tree starts

6. Switch off the device.

7. Lock the chain brake.

8. Lower the chainsaw.

9. Follow the planned retreat route.

Cutting tensioned wood DANGER Uncontrolled movements of chainsaw and sawing material Life-threatening incision injuries, injuries caused by sawed material Plan the cut before cutting and identify any potential dangers. Always hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands Tensioned wood is created when a trunk, branch, rooted stump or sapling is tensioned by other wood.

1. Watch out for tensioned wood, as there is a danger

that it will snap back to its original position. Illustration U

2. Carefully saw the tensioned wood from the pressure

side (see also Chapter Trimming a tensioned trunk). Illustration V Pruning DANGER Kickback Life-threatening incision injuries When pruning, make sure that the guide rail/chain does not become jammed. 몇 WARNING Changing weight distribution when pruning Risk of injury due to uncontrolled movement of the trunk Select the work area so that no danger arises. Prune in the direction of growth. Illustration W Prune from top to bottom. Leave larger branches below as supports to keep the tree above the ground. Support the chainsaw as much as possible. Do not prune while standing on the trunk. Do not saw with the tip of the guide rail. Watch out for branches that are under tension. Cut branches that are under tension from bottom to top. Never saw several branches at once. Regularly clear the work area from pruned branch- es. Cutting a trunk to length DANGER Uncontrolled movements of the chainsaw Danger of death from incision injuries Plan the cut before cutting and identify any potential dangers. Always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands. ATTENTION Damage to the chain due to ground contact Make sure that the chain does not touch the ground.

1. Set the chainsaw onto the trunk with the bucking

2. Evenly saw through the trunk.

Trimming a tensioned trunk DANGER Uncontrolled movement of the chainsaw Life-threatening incision injuries When trimming tensioned trunks, be sure to follow the sequence of a relief cut at the pressure side and then a separating cut at the tension side. Trunk is supported on 2 sides: a For the relief cut on the pressure side, saw in about 1/3 of the trunk diameter from above. Illustration X b Set the cut on the tension side from the bottom. Trunk is supported on 1 side: a For the relief cut on the pressure side, saw in about 1/3 of the trunk diameter from below. Illustration Y b Set the cut on the tension side from the top.
