General Safety Directions for Power Tools

WARNING! Read all safety notices, instructions, illustra

tions and technical data that have been provided with this power tool. Omissions in the compliance with safety directions and instructions can cause electrical shock, fire and/or severe injuries.

Retain all safety directions and instructions for future use.

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 areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating 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 adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, 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 electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operation of the power tool in a damp environment is unavoidable, please use a residual current circuitry. The use of a residual current circuitry reduces the risk of an electric shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention white operating power tools may result in serious 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 appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to

power source and/or battery 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 power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
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 dust extraction and collection devices can be installed, make sure that these are connected and used correctly. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not allow yourself to be lulled into a false sense of security and do not disregard the safety rules for power tools, even if you are familiar with the power tool after using it many times. Careless action can lead to serious injuries within a fraction of a second.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Remove the plug from the wall socket and/or remove the rechargeable battery before you change the device's settings, change accessory parts or put away the power tool. Such preventive 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 users.
e) Look after the power tool and application tool carefully. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grip surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and

grease. Slippery handles and grip surfaces do not permit safe operation and control over the power tool in unexpected situations.

5) CAREFUL HANDLING AND USE OF BATTERY DEVICES

a) Charge the batteries only in chargers that are recommended by the manufacturer. Risk of fire if a charger that is suitable for a specific type of battery is used with other batteries.
b) In the power tools, use only the batteries designed for the purpose. The use of other batteries may result in injuries and risk of fire.
c) Keep the unused battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small metal objects, which could cause bridging of the contacts. A short circuit between the battery contacts may cause burns or fire.
d) If used incorrectly, liquid may leak from the battery. Avoid contact with this. In the event of accidental contact, rinse off with water. If the liquid gets into eyes, seek medical assistance. Leaking battery fluid may cause skin irritations or burns.
e) Do not use damaged or altered batteries. Damaged or altered batteries can be unpredictable and lead to fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose batteries to fire or elevated temperatures. Fire or temperatures over 130^ can cause an explosion.
g) Follow all instructions for charging and never charge the battery or the battery-powered tool

outside the temperature range stated in the operating instructions. Incorrect charging or charging outside the permitted temperature range may destroy the battery and increase the risk of fire.

6) SERVICE

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b) Never repair damaged batteries. All battery repairs should be carried out by the manufacturer or authorised customer service centres only.

Chain saw safety warnings

• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chain saw is operating. Before you start the chain saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention white operating chain saws may cause entanglement 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 only on the insulated handle surfaces, as the saw chain may come into contact with concealed power cables. Contact between the saw chain and a live cable may render metallic components live and result in an electric shock.

• Wear safety glasses and ear protection. Other protective equipment for the head, hands, legs and feet is compulsory. 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 white up in a tree may result in personal injury.
• Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when standing on fixed, secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain saw.
• When cutting a branch that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres is released 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 handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.

• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or lubricated 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 cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the chain saw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation

Causes and operator prevention of kickback

Beware of kickback! Be careful of kickback of the machine during work. There is danger of injury here. You can avoid kickbacks by exercising caution and using a correct sawing technique.

• Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut (cf. image 1/fig. B).
• Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator (cf. image 1/fig. A).
• Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.
  Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which

could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

Kickback is the result of tool misuse 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 encircling the chain saw handles, with both hands on the saw and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.
• Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected situations.
• Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.

Further safety directions

Comply carefully with maintenance, control and service instructions in this manual. Damaged protective devices and parts

have to be repaired or changed except as noted otherwise in this manual.

It is recommended that a first-time user at least practice the cutting of logs on a saw log or frame.
- For sowing work on hillsides, always stand in the area above the log. To keep total control while sawing through, reduce the pressure at the end of the cut without loosening your grip on the handles of the electric chain saw. Make sure the saw chain does not touch the ground. After finishing the cut, wait until the electric chain saw comes to a halt before removing it. Always shut off the engine of the electric chain saw before switching between trees.
- Dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, clips and wires must be removed from the tree.
- Do not use any accessories that are not recommended by PARKSIDE. This can result in electric shock or fire.

Residual risks

Even if properly operating and handling this electric tool, some residual risks will remain. Due to its construction and build, this electric tool may present the following hazards:

a) Cuts
b) Ear damage if working without ear protection.
c) Damage to your health caused by swinging your hands and arms when operating the appliance for longer periods of time or if the unit is not held or maintained properly.

Warning! During operation, this electric tool generates an electromagnetic field which, under certain

circumstances, may impair the functionality of active or passive medical implants. To reduce the risk of serious or lethal injuries, we recommend that persons with medical implants consult their doctor and the manufacturer of their medical implant before operating the machine.

Observe the safety information and notes on charging and proper use as shown in the instruction manual for your battery and charger from the Parkside X 20 V Team series. A detailed description of the charging process and further information can be found in the separate operating instructions.

Assembly

Always wear protective gloves when working with the chainsaw and employ only original parts. Pull out the power plug before doing any work on the chainsaw itself - injury hazard!

Before putting the electric chain saw into operation, you must:

• adjust the saw chain tension,
• pour in chain oil,
• Charge and insert the battery
• check the function of the chain brake and the automatic oil pump.

Mounting the saw chain and blade

Switch off the device and remove the battery before carrying out any maintenance work.

1. Lay the saw on a flat surface.
2. Turn the fastening bolt (10) anticlockwise to remove the sprocket chain wheel covering (12).
3. Spread the chain (7) out into a loop with the cutting edges running clockwise. Use the graphical symbol on the blade or below the chain sprocket (20) as a guide to align the saw chain (7).

Direction of travel of the saw chain

1. Slide the saw chain (7) into the bar guide groove. To mount the guide bar, raise it to an angle of approx. 45 degrees. This will make it easier to replace the saw chain (7) onto the sprocket (20).
2. Place the chain bar (8) and saw chain (7) on the bar bolts (19). When the pin (19a) to the right of the coach screw (19) sits in the slotted recess on the blade, the blade is placed correctly. It is normal that the saw chain (7) is slack.
3. Position the sprocket chain wheel covering (12). The chain tensioner pin (21) on the inside of the sprocket cover (12) must be guided into the chain tension pin holder (22).
4. Pre-tension the saw chain (7) by turning the screw for the chain quick-tensioning system (11) in clockwise direction.
5. Tighten the fastening bolt (10) (D).

Note that the saw can re-oil.

Please note that the saw re-oils after use and oil may leak out if it is stored on its side or on the head. This is a normal process due to the necessary ventilation opening on the upper edge of the tank and

does not constitute a reason for complaint. As each saw is checked during production and tested with oil, a small residue may be in the tank despite draining, which may slightly dirty the housing with oil in transit. Please clean the housing with a cloth.

Prior to changing the chain, the nut of the guide rail must be cleaned of dirt because dirt deposits available can cause the chain to break out of the rail. The deposits can also absorb the chain oil. So the consequence would be that the chain oil would not or only a small part of it would reach the underside of the rail and the lubrication would be reduced.

Tensioning the saw chain

Regularly tightening the saw chain provides safety for the user and reduces and/or prevents wear and chain damages. Before the start of work and in approx. 10 minute intervals, we recommend the user to examine the chain tension and correct it, if necessary.

The chain warms up when working with the saw and thus expands slightly. These "expansions" can be expected especially from newer chains.

Do not re-tighten or change the chain when it is hot because it shrinks slightly once it has cooled down. In case of non-observance, this can lead to damages on the guide rail or the engine because now the chain is too taut on the blade. Chain tension and chain lubrication have a significant impact on the service life of the chain.

The chain is correctly tensioned if it does not sag at the rail underside and can be

rotated completely around with the gloved hand. When the saw chain is tensioned with 9N approx.1 kg),the gap between the saw chain and the guide rail may not be more than 2mm

Switch off the device and remove the battery before carrying out any maintenance work.

1. Ensure that the chain brake has been released, that is, that the chain brake lever (6) is pulled up against the front grip (5).

2. Unscrew the fastening bolt (10)

3. To tension the saw chain, turn the screw (11) for the chain quick-tensioning system in clockwise direction.

To loosen the tension, turn the screw (11) in counter-clockwise direction.

1. Tighten up the fastening bolt (10) again

With a new saw chain, you must readjust the chain tension after at least 5 cutting operations.

Chain lubrication

The rail and chain must never be without oil. If the cordless chainsaw is used with too little oil, the cutting performance and lifespan of the saw chain will decrease as the chain will become blunt more quickly. You can identify a case of too

little oil where smoke development or discoloration of the rail occurs.

The chainsaw is equipped with an automatic oiling system. As soon as the motor is speeded up, the oil also flows faster to the chain bar (8).

Switch off the device and remove the battery before carrying out any maintenance work.

Filling up with chain oil:

• Check the oil fill level and regularly top up with oil (13).
• Use bio-oil; this product contains additives that reduce wear and tear and does not damage the pump system. bio-oil is available from our Service-Center.
  If you have no bio-oil available, use chain lubrication oil with low adhesive additive content.
• Empty the oil tank before longer periods (6-8 weeks) of non-use.

1. Unscrew the oil fill cap (4) and fill up with chain oil.

2. Wipe off any spilled oil and close the cap again.

Always switch off the device and allow the motor to cool before filling with chain oil. There is a risk of fire if oil overflows.

Inserting/removing the rechargeable battery

1. To insert the battery (16) into the device, push the battery along the guide rails (23) into the device. You will hear them click into place.
2. To remove the battery (16) from the de

vice, press the release button (A 16a) on the battery and pull the battery out.

Operating

Switch on the chainsaw only when chain bar, saw chain and sprocket chain wheel covering are correctly assembled.

Make sure you have a secure stance. Before starting, ensure that the electric chainsaw is in contact with no objects.

Caution! Saw can oil up, see notes on Operation startup.

Switching on

1. Place the battery (E 16) into the device (see "Inserting/removing the rechargeable battery").
2. Check before the start, - whether sufficient chain oil is in the tank and, if necessary, refill with chain oil (see Chapter Operation Start).
3. the charge status of the battery.
4. Release the chain brake, where you shift the brake arm (6) back against the front grip (5).
5. Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands, with the right hand on the rear grip (1) and the left hand on the front handle (5). Thumb and finger must close securely over the handles.
6. For switching on, activate the switch-on block (3) with the right thumb and then press the On/Off switch (2), the chain-saw runs with highest speed. Release the switch-on block (3) again
7. The power saw switches off when you release the On/Off switch (2) again. Switching for continuous running is not possible.

Battery charge level indicator

The battery's charge level is indicated by the charge state indicator.

The LEDs indicate the battery's charge level, when the device is in operation. To do this, press the softkey of the charge level indicator.

3 LEDs illuminated (red, orange and green): Battery charged

2 LEDs illuminated (red and orange): Battery partially charged

1 LED illuminated (red): Battery needs to be charged

Checking the chain brake

The motor cannot be turned on if the chain brake has engaged. Do not employ the chain brake in order to start the chainsaw or to switch it off.

1. Place the chainsaw onto a solid, flat surface. It must not contact any objects.
2. Ensure that the chain brake has been released, that is, that the chain brake lever (6) is pulled up against the front grip (5).
3. Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands, with the right hand on the rear handle (F 1) and the left hand on the front handle (F 5). Thumb and finger must close securely over the handles.
4. Turn on the chainsaw.
5. Activate the chain braking lever (6), with running motor, with the left hand.
6. Once the chain brake is working prop

erly, release the on/off switch (2) and the chain brake.

If the chain brake does not function correctly, you must not use the chainsaw. A slack saw chain leads to danger of injury. Return the chainsaw to our Service-Center for repair.

Checking the oil automatic system

Check the oil level and the automatic oil system before commencement of work.

• Switch on the chainsaw and hold it above a bright background. The saw must not touch the ground. If an oil trace can be seen, the chainsaw is working trouble-free.

If no oil trace can be seen clean the oil passages or turn the chainsaw to our Service-Center for repair.

Clean the oil passages of the chain bar (24), in order to guarantee a trouble-free, automatic oiling of the saw chain during operation.

Changing the saw bar

1. Place the battery (E 16) into the device (see "Inserting/removing the rechargeable battery").
2. Lay the saw on a flat surface.

3. Turn the fastening bolt (10) and the screw for the chain quick-tensioning system (11) in counter-clockwise direction in order to loosen the chain tension and to remove the sprocket chain wheel cover (12).

4. Remove the saw bar (8) and saw chain (7). To remove the guide bar (8), raise it to an angle of approx. 45 degrees. This will make it easier to take the saw chain (7) off the sprocket (20).

5. Replace the blade and install the blade and chain as described under "Installing the sawing chain and blade".

Refer to the start-up section on how to tension the saw chain.

Sawing techniques General

Observe the noise protection and local regulations when cutting wood. Local requirements may require a suitability test. Ask the forestry commission.

• Dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire must be removed from the tree.
• For sawing work on a slope, always stand above the tree trunk.
• To keep control at the moment of "sawing through", reduce the contact pressure at the end of the cut without loosening the firm grip on the chainsaw handles. Ensure that the saw chain does not come into contact with the ground.
  After completing the cut, wait for the chainsaw to come to a standstill before removing the chainsaw.
  Always switch off the chainsaw motor before moving from one tree to another.
• Lay the connecting lead such that it will not be caught on branches or similar during sawing.
• For each cut, apply the claw stop securely and only then start sawing.
• You have better control when you saw with the bottom side of the chain bar

(with pulling saw chain) and not to with the top side of the chain bar (with pushing saw chain).

• The saw chain must not contact either the ground or another object during sawing through or after sawing completion.
• Make sure that the saw chain does not become jammed in the wood. Do not let the tree trunk break or split off.
• Consider also the precautions against spring-back (see notes on safety).
• For sawing work on a slope, always stand above the tree trunk. To keep control at the moment of "sawing through", reduce the contact pressure at the end of the cut without loosening the firm grip on the chainsaw handles. Ensure that the saw chain does not come into contact with the ground.

After completing the cut, wait for the chainsaw to come to a standstill before removing the chainsaw. Always switch off the chainsaw motor before moving from one tree to another.

If the saw chain jams, you do not attempt to pull out the electric chainsaw using power. There is a danger of injury here. Switch off the motor and use a lever or wedge to free the electric chainsaw.

Bucking

This refers to sawing up a felled tree trunk into smaller sections.

Ensure that you are in a secure position and that your body weight is distributed evenly on both feet. If possible, underpin and support the stem with branches, beams or wedges.

• Ensure that the saw chain does not

come in contact with the ground during sawing.

• Make sure you have a secure stance and, in the case of sloping ground, stand above the log. To maintain full control at the moment of "sawing through", reduce the contact pressure at the end of the cut, without releasing the firm grip on the chain saw handles. Once cutting is complete, wait for the saw chain to come to a standstill before removing the chain saw from there. Always switch off the chain saw before changing from tree to tree.

1. Log is lying on the ground:

Saw through the log completely from above and ensure at the end of the cut not to contact the ground.

If you can turn the tree trunk, saw two-thirds of the way through it. Then turn the trunk around and saw the rest of the way through from above.

K 2. Log is supported at one end:

Start sawing from the bottom and work your way up (with the upper edge of the bar) a third of the way into the diameter of the trunk to prevent splitting. Then saw from the top downwards with the lower edge of the bar towards the first cut to prevent the bar from becoming jammed in the wood.

3. Log is supported at both ends:

Start from the top and work down (with the lower edge of the bar) to a third of the diameter of the trunk. Then saw from

underneath with the upper edge of the bar until the two cuts meet.

1. Sawing on a sawhorse: Hold the electric chainsaw steady with both hands, keeping the saw in front of you while sawing. Once the saw is through the wood, guide the machine passed you on the right (1). Hold your left arm as straight as you can (2). Watch out for the falling trunk. Position yourself to prevent any danger from the separated trunk. Watch your feet. The trunk may cause injuries when falling. Keep your balance (3).

N Limbing

Limbing is the designation for the sawing off of branches and boughs from a felled tree.

Many accidents occur during the removal of branches. Never cut tree limbs when you are standing on the log. Keep the spring-back area in mind if branches are under tension.

• Do not remove support branches until after the sawing off.
• Branches under tension must be sawed from below to above, in order to prevent jamming of the chainsaw.
  When working on thicker branches, use the same technique as when you are sawing up a felled trunk.
• Work to the left of the log and as near as possible to the electric chainsaw. As far as possible, the weight of the saw should rest on the log.
• Change position to saw off branches on the other side of the trunk.
• Branches sticking out are cut off separately.(see N).

Felling trees

A lot of experience is necessary in felling trees. Cut down trees only when you can safely handle the electric chainsaw. In no case should you use the electric chainsaw if you feel unsure about anything.

• Ensure that no people or animals are in the field of action. The safety distance between the tree to be felled and the nearest-located workplace must be 212 tree lengths.
  Note the felling direction: The user must be able to move safely near the felled tree, to saw off the tree easily and remove branches. It is to be avoided that the felled tree snags itself on another tree. Note the natural felling direction, which is dependent on the slope and curvature characteristic of the tree, wind direction and the number of branches.
  In the case of sloping ground, stand above the tree to be felled.
• Small trees, with a diameter of 15-18 cm, can usually be sawn off with one cut.
  In case of trees with a larger diameter, a notched cut and a back cut must be implemented (see diagram).

• If cutting and felling is being carried out by two or more persons simultaneously, the distance between the felling and cutting persons must be at least twice the height of the tree to be felled. When felling trees, ensure that no other persons are subject to hazards and that no material damage is caused. If a tree should come into contact with a power line, the supply company must be informed immediately.

• Dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, clips and wires must be removed from the tree.

Do not fell any trees when a strong or changing wind is blowing, if the danger of property damage exists or if the tree could fall on electric wires.

Immediately after termination of the sawing procedure, remove the ear protection so that you can hear hooter and alarm signals.

1. Removal of branches:

Remove hanging branches by positioning the cut from above the branch. With removal of branches, never work higher than shoulder level.

2. Escape area:

Remove the undergrowth around the tree to ensure an easy escape. The escape area (1) should be around 45^ either side behind the planned felling direction (2).

3. Cutting notch (A):

Make a felling notch in the direction in which you wish the tree to fall. Start with the bottom, horizontal cut. The cut depth should be around 1/3 of the trunk diameter. This will prevent the saw chain or the guard rails from jamming when placing the second chamfer. Now make a slanted saw cut from above at an angle of roughly 45^ to meet exactly with the bottom saw cut.

Never step in front of a tree which is notched.

P 4. Felling back cut (B):

Make the back cut from the other side of the log, where you stand to the left of the log and saw with the chainsaw pulling. The back cut must run horizontally 5 cm above the horizontal notched cut.

The back cut should be so deep that the separation distance between the back cut and the notch cutting line is at least 1/10 of the trunk diameter. The part of the stem not saw through is called a stay (felling gib). The stay prevents the tree from turning and falling in the wrong direction. Do not saw through the stay.

1. As you approach the felling cut on the stay the tree should start falling. If it becomes apparent that the tree may not fall in the required direction or is leaning back, and the saw chain is jamming, stop felling and use wedges made of wood, plastic or aluminium to open the cut and to tilt the tree in the required felling line.

R 6. If the trunk diameter is larger than the length of the chain bar, make two cuts.

For safety reasons, we advise inexperienced users not to fell any logs with a rail length which is smaller than the trunk diameter.

1. After carrying out of the back cut, the tree falls by itself or with the aid of the felling wedge or crowbar.

As soon as the tree begins to fall, pull out the saw from the section, stop the motor, place the chainsaw down and leave the workplace using the withdrawal path. Pay attention to falling branches and do not stumble.

Maintenance and cleaning

! Maintenance and cleaning work must always be carried out with the motor switched off and the batteries removed. Danger of injury! Leave any maintenance and servicing work not covered by this manual to our Service-Center. Use only original spare parts.

Allow the machine to cool down before all maintenance and cleaning works. Danger of burn injuries!

Use cut-protection gloves when handling the chain or the chain bar. Risk of cuts!

Switch off the device and remove the battery before carrying out any maintenance work.

Cleaning

• Clean the machine thoroughly after every use. In this way, you extend the life of the machine and avoid accidents.
• Keep the gripping handles free of petrol, oil or grease. Clean the gripping handles, where appropriate, with a

moist cloth soaked in soap. Use no sol-vents or petrol for cleaning!

• Clean the saw chain after every use. Use a paint brush or wipe for that. Do not use any liquids to clean the chain. After cleaning, oil the chain lightly with chain oil.
• Clean the ventilation slots and the surfaces of the machine with a paint brush, whisk or dry cloth. Do not use any liquids for cleaning.

Maintenance intervals

Regularly carry out the maintenance operations listed in the following table. The life of the saw is extended by regular maintenance of your chainsaw. Furthermore, you get optimum cutting performance and avoid accidents.

Oiling the saw chain

Clean and oil the chain regularly. In this way, you keep the chain sharp and get optimum machine performance. In case of damage due to inadequate maintenance of the saw chain, the guarantee claim is invalid. Remove the battery and use cut-resistant gloves when working with the chain or with the blade.

• Oil the chain after cleaning, after 10 hours of use or at least once weekly, depending on which comes first.
  Before oiling, the chain bar must be cleaned thoroughly, in particular the teeth of the rail. Use a whisk and a dry cloth for that.
• Oil the individual chain links with the aid of an oil suction gun with pinpoint tip (available in the specialist trade). Place individual oil drops onto the articulated links and onto the tooth tips of the individual chain links.

Sharpening the saw chain

An incorrectly sharpened saw chain increases the danger of spring-back! Use cut-protection gloves when you are handling the chain or the chain bar.

A sharp chain guarantees an optimal cutting performance. It eats effortlessly through the wood and leaves large, long wooden chips. A saw chain is blunt if you have to press the cutting equipment through the wood and the wooden chips are very small. In the case of a very blunt saw chain, no chip cuttings result at all, only sawdust.

• The sawing parts of the chain are the cutting elements, which consist of a cutting tooth and a depth limiting projection. The vertical separation distance between these two determines the sharpness depth.
  The following values must be noted in sharpening the cutting teeth:

• Sharp edge angle (30^)

• Breast angle (85^)

• Apex angle (60^)
• Sharpness depth (0.65 mm)
• Round file diameter (4.0 mm)

Deviations from the measurement data of the cutting geometry can lead to an increase of the spring-back slope of the machine. Increased danger of accident!

Special tools are necessary for sharpening the chain, which guarantee that the cutting

edges are sharpened at the correct angle and to the correct depth. For the inexperienced user of chainsaws, we recommend to have the saw chain sharpened by a specialist or a specialist workshop. If you think yourself capable of sharpening the chain, you can acquire the special tools in the specialist trade.

1. Remove the saw chain (refer to the section on operating the saw). The chain should be well-tensioned to ensure proper sharpening.

2. For the sharpening, a round file with 4.0mm diameter is necessary.

Other diameters damage the chain and can lead to danger during work!

1. Sharpen only from the inside to the outside. Guide the file from the inner side of the cutting teeth to the outer side. Lift the file when you are withdrawing it.
2. Sharpen first the teeth on one side.
   Turn the saw around and sharpen the teeth of the other side.
3. The chain is worn and must be replaced by a new saw chain if only approx. 4mm of the cutting teeth is remaining.
4. After the sharpening, all cutting elements must now be equal in length and width.
5. After every third sharpening, the sharpness depth (depth limitation) must be checked and the height filed with the aid of a flat file. The depth limitation should be set back about 0.65mm from the cutting tooth. After the setting back of depth limitation, round it off a little at the front.

Adjusting the chain tension

The adjustment of the chain tension is described in the chapter "Assembly - tensioning chainsaw".

• Switch off the device and remove the battery (16) from the device
• Check the chain tension regularly and re-adjust this as often as possible. When the saw chain is tensioned with 9N (approx. 1kg ), the gap between the saw chain and the guide rail may not be more than 2mm .

Starting up a new saw chain

In the case of a new chain, the tensioning force decreases after some time. Therefore, you have to re-tension the chain after the first 5 cuts and no later than after 10 minutes' sawing time.

Never attach a new chain to a worn drive pinion or place onto a damaged or worn chain bar. The chain could spring back or break, potentially leading to serious injury.

Maintaining the chain bar

Use cut-protection gloves when handling the chain or the chain bar.

1. Switch off the device and remove the battery (A 16) from the device.
2. Remove the sprocket chain wheel covering (A 12), the saw chain (Z) and the chain bar (A 8).

3. Check the chain bar (A 8) for wear. Remove burrs and straighten the guide surfaces with a flat file.

4. Clean the oil passages (24), of the chain bar, in order to guarantee a trouble-free, automatic oiling of the saw chain during operation.

5. Mount chain bar (A 8), chainsaw (A 7) and sprocket chain wheel covering (A 12) and tighten the chainsaw.

With the oil nozzles in good condition and the oil regulator set correctly, the saw chain will spray a little oil off after starting.

Turn the chain bar

Use cut-protection gloves when handling the chain or the chain bar.

The blade (8) has to be reversed regularly after a working time of approximately 10 hours in order to ensure even wear.

1. Switch off the device and remove the battery (A 16) from the device.
2. Remove the sprocket chain wheel covering (12), the saw chain (7) and the chain bar (8).
3. Turn the blade around its horizontal axis and install the blade and chain as described under "Installing the sawing chain and blade".

When doing so, pay attention to the correct rotation direction of the saw chain!

Direction of travel of the saw chain

Use the graphical symbol below the chain sprocket (20) as a guide to the alignment of the saw chain (7) when the blade is rotated. The illustrated direction of travel on the blade is no longer true.

Storage

• Clean the equipment before putting it away.
• Put on saw bar protection sheath.
  Always empty the oil tank before pauses in operation lasting several weeks because the bio chain oil can become resinous and block the oil outlet channel (H 24).

Dispose of used oil in an environmentally-responsible way (see "Disposal/ Environmental Protection").

• Store the appliance in a dry place well out of reach of children

Waste disposal and environmental protection

Remove the battery from the device and take the device, battery, accessories and packaging for environmentally friendly recycling. Instruction on how to dispose of the rechargeable battery and charger can be found in the separate instruction manual.

Machines do not belong with domestic waste.

• Before disposal, remove batteries from the device first.
• Hand the device and the charger in to a recycling point.
• Do not dispose of used oil in the sewage system or drains. Dispose of used oil in an environmentally correct manner - bring it to a waste disposal center.
  Defective units returned to us will be disposed of for free.
