Original operating instructions

The chainsaw is intended for felling trees and for cutting trunks, branches, wooden beams, boards etc. and can be used for cross cuts and longitudi- nal cuts. It is not suitable for cutting any materials other than wood. The equipment is to be used only for its prescri- bed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user / operator and not the Anl_GC_EC_1935_SPK13.indb 21Anl_GC_EC_1935_SPK13.indb 21 07.05.2024 09:02:2307.05.2024 09:02:23GB

manufacturer will be liable for any damage or inju- ries of any kind caused as a result of this. Please note that our equipment has not been de- signed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes.

sound power level guaranteed ...... 108 dB(A) Wear ear-muff s. The impact of noise can cause damage to hea- ring. Total vibration values (vector sum of three direc- tions) were determined in accordance with EN 62841-1 and EN 62841-4-1. Handle under load Vibration emission value of handle

Vibration emission value of rear handle

The quoted total vibration value and the quo- ted noise emission value were measured in accordance with standardized test procedu- res and can be used to compare one electric tool with another.

The quoted total vibration value and the quo- ted noise emission value can also be used to make an initial assessment of exposure.

The vibration and noise emission levels during actual use may vary from the values quoted, depending on the way in which the electric tool is used and, in particular, on the type of workpiece being processed.

Try to keep the exposure to vibrations and noise as low as possible. Exposure to vibra- tions can be reduced by wearing gloves when using the tool, for example, and by limiting the amount of operating time. All stages of the operating cycle must be considered (for example, times in which the electric tools are switched off and times in which the tool is switched on but operates without load). Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum.

Only use appliances which are in perfect wor- king order.

Service and clean the appliance regularly.

Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.

Do not overload the appliance.

Have the appliance serviced whenever ne- cessary.

Switch the appliance off when it is not in use.

5. Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data. Anl_GC_EC_1935_SPK13.indb 22Anl_GC_EC_1935_SPK13.indb 22 07.05.2024 09:02:2307.05.2024 09:02:23GB

Warning! Always pull the power plug before making adjustments to the equipment. Caution: Do not connect the chainsaw to the po- wer supply until it has been fully assembled and the chain tension has been adjusted. Always wear protective gloves when working on the chainsaw to protect yourself against injury.

5.1 Assembly of the cutter rail and the saw

Carefully unpack all parts and check that they are complete (Fig. 2-3).

Undo the fixing screw of the chain wheel co- ver (Fig. 4).

Lay the chain as shown in the groove which runs around the cutter rail (Fig. 6/Item A).

Insert the cutter rail and chain as shown in the mounting in the chainsaw (Fig. 6a and 6b). As you do so, guide the chain around the chain wheel (Fig. 6a and 6b / Item B).

Attach the chain wheel cover and secure it with the fixing screw (Fig. 7). Caution: Do not fully tighten the fixing screw until after adjus- ting the chain tension (refer to point 5.2).

5.2 Tensioning the saw chain

Warning! Always disconnect the mains plug before performing any checks or adjustments. Al- ways wear protective gloves when working on the chainsaw to protect yourself against injury.

Undo the fixing screw of the chain wheel co- ver a few turns (Fig. 4).

Adjust the chain tension with the chain ten- sioning screw (Fig. 8). Turning the screw clockwise increases the tension, turning it counter-clockwise decreases the chain ten- sion. The saw chain is correctly tensioned if it can be lifted around 3-4 mm in the middle of the cutter rail (Fig. 9).

Tighten the fixing screw of the chain wheel cover. Danger! All of the chain links must lie proper- ly in the guide groove of the cutter rail. Notes on tensioning the chain: The saw chain must be properly tensioned to ensure safe operation. You can tell that the chain tension is perfect if the saw chain can be lifted by around 3-4 mm in the middle of the cutter rail. As the saw chain heats up during cutting and thus changes in length, please check the chain tension every 10 minutes and adjust it again as required. This applies in particular to new saw chains. When you have fi nished working slacken the chain again, as the chain will shorten when it cools down. This will prevent the chain from being damaged.

5.3 Saw chain lubrication

Warning! Always disconnect the mains plug before performing any checks or adjustments. Al- ways wear protective gloves when working on the chainsaw to protect yourself against injury. Notice! Never operate the chain if it is not lub- ricated with saw chain oil. Use of the chainsaw without saw chain oil or if the oil level is below the “min” mark (Fig. 10/ Item B) will damage the chainsaw. Notice! Be aware of the temperature conditions: diff erent lubricants with completely diff erent viscosities are required at diff erent ambient tem- peratures. At lower temperatures you will need low viscosity oils in order to achieve a suffi cient lubricating fi lm. However, if the same low viscosity oil is used during the summer it will become even thinner due to the ambient temperatures alone, and as a result the lubricating fi lm could break down, causing the chain to overheat and become damaged. In addition, the chain oil would burn and produce unnecessary pollutants. Filling the oil tank:

Place the chainsaw on a flat surface.

Clean the area around the oil tank cover (Fig. 10/Item 7) and then clean the oil tank cover.

Fill the tank with saw chain oil. In the process, make sure that no dirt enters the tank, as this could cause the oil nozzle to become blo- cked.

Close the oil tank cover.

6.1 Connecting to the mains supply

Connect the power cable to a suitable ex- tension cable. Make sure that the extension cable is designed for the power rating of the chainsaw.

Secure the extension cable as shown in Fig. 12 to protect it against pulling forces and ac- cidental disconnection.

contact. We recommend using a cable with a bright and highly visible color, e.g. red or yellow. This will reduce the risk of accidentally damaging it with the chainsaw.

Hold the chainsaw by the handles with both hands as shown in Fig. 13 (thumbs under the handles).

Press and hold the safety lock-off (Fig. 1/Item 5).

To switch on the chainsaw, press the On/Off switch (Fig. 1/Item 6). You can then release the safety lock-off. Switching off Release the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Item 6). The integrated brake will bring the running chain- saw to a standstill within a very short space of time. Always disconnect the mains plug when you stop working, even if it is only for a short time. Warning! Always carry the saw by the front handle. If the saw is plugged in and you carry it by the rear handle (which is where the switches are located), then there is a risk that you could acci- dentally press the safety lock-off and the ON/OFF switch at the same time, and the chainsaw could inadvertently start up.

Motor brake The motor brakes the saw chain as soon as the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Item 6) is released or the power supply is interrupted. This signifi cantly reduces the risk of injury that would otherwise be present if the chain continued to run after being switched off or disconnected. Chain brake The chain brake is a safety mechanism which is triggered via the front hand guard (Fig. 1/Item 2). If kickback causes the chainsaw to suddenly jerk back then the chain brake trips and stops the saw chain in less than 0.1 seconds. You must check the operation of the chain brake on a regular ba- sis. To do this, fold the hand guard (Fig. 1/Item 2) forward and briefl y switch the chainsaw on. The saw chain must not start up. Pull back the front hand guard (Fig. 1/Item 2) until it engages to release the chain brake. Danger! Never use the saw if the safety equip- ment is not working properly. Never try to repair safety related protection systems yourself – al- ways have any work done by our service depart- ment or by a similarly qualifi ed workshop. Hand guard The front hand guard (which also acts as the chain brake at the same time) (Fig. 1/Item 2) and the rear hand guard (Fig. 2/ Item 14) protect against fi nger injuries resulting from contact with the saw chain if the chain breaks because it is overloaded.

7. Working with the chainsaw

To ensure that you can work safely, check the fol- lowing points before every use: Condition of the chain saw Inspect the chainsaw before the start of work for damage to the housing, the power cable, the saw chain and the cutter rail. Never use a chainsaw which is obviously damaged. Oil container Fill level of the oil container. Even while working, keep checking that suffi cient oil is in the system. To avoid damaging the chainsaw, never run the saw if there is no oil in the system or if the oil drops below the “min” mark (Fig. 10/Item B). On average, a single fi lling will last around 15 minutes depending on the number of pauses in cutting and the loads involved. Saw chain Tension of the saw chain, condition of the cutting elements. The sharper the chainsaw, the easier and more controllable it is to operate the chain- saw. The same also applies to the chain tension. Again, while working also check the chain tension every 10 minutes in order to increase your safety. New saw chains in particular often tend to expand more. Chain brake Check the operation of the chain brake as de- scribed in the chapter “Safety devices” and then Anl_GC_EC_1935_SPK13.indb 24Anl_GC_EC_1935_SPK13.indb 24 07.05.2024 09:02:2407.05.2024 09:02:24GB

release it. Safety clothing Always wear appropriate tight-fi tting safety clothing like special trousers which protect against cuts, protective gloves and safety shoes. Hearing protection and protective goggles. When felling trees or performing forest work, al- ways wear a protective helmet with integral face and hearing protection. This will off er protection against falling branches and any branches if they spring back.

7.2 Description of the correct procedures for

basic use of the chainsaw Felling a tree (Figs. 14-17) If two or more persons are working at the same time on felling and cutting back then the minimum distance between the tree being felled and the tree being cut back should be at least twice the height of the tree being felled (Fig. 14). When felling trees, care must be taken to ensure that no other persons are endangered, no power supply lines are hit and no material damage is caused to equipment or property. In the event that a tree comes into contact with a power supply line, he responsible power supply company should be informed immediately. When working with the saw on a slope, the opera- tor of the chainsaw must be standing at a higher point on the slope than the tree being felled, as the tree will roll or slip downhill once it has been felled (Fig. 15). Before felling the tree you must fi rst plan and if necessary clear an escape route. This escape route must lead away diagonally in the opposite direction to the expected fall direction – this can be seen in Fig. 16 (A= danger zone, B= direction of fall, C= escape zone). Before felling the tree you must take into account the natural inclination of the tree, the location of larger branches and the wind direction, as this will help you to correctly determine the direction in which the tree will fall. Dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire must be removed from the tree. Making the felling notch (Fig. 17) Cut a notch (A) at right angles to the fall direction to a depth of 1/3 of the tree diameter as shown in Fig. 17. First make the lower horizontal felling notch (1). This prevents the saw chain or the gui- de rail from becoming trapped when the second felling notch is made. Making the felling cut (Fig. 17) The felling cut should be positioned at least 50 mm above the horizontal felling notch. Make the felling cut (B) parallel to the horizontal felling notch. The felling cut should be cut to a depth which leaves a thin strip (felling hinge strip) (D) which can act as a hinge. This strip prevents the tree from rotating and falling in the wrong direc- tion. Do not cut through the strip. When the felling cut gets close to the strip the tree should start to fall. If it becomes clear that the tree may well fall in a diff erent direction to the desired fall direction (C) or it starts to lean back and traps the saw chain, interrupt the felling cut and insert wedges made of wood, plastic or aluminum to open out the cut and control the lean of the tree until it leans in the required direction. When the tree starts to fall, remove the chainsaw from the cut, switch it off , place it on the ground and exit the danger zone via the planned escape route. Watch out for falling branches and take care not to trip. Removing branches Here we are talking about removing branches from the felled tree. When removing branches, leave any downward facing branches which are supporting the tree until the trunk of the tree has been cut up. Smaller branches should be re- moved as shown in Fig. 18 (A= cutting direction when removing branches, B= keep away from the ground! Supporting branches should be left until the trunk is cut up) in a single cut from the bottom to the top. Any branches which are under tension should be cut from the bottom to the top to pre- vent the saw from becoming trapped. Cutting the tree trunk into lengths Here we are looking at the process of cutting the felled tree into sections. Make sure you have a sure footing and distribute your body weight even- ly onto both feet. If possible the trunk should be underlaid and supported with branches, beams or wedges. For easy cutting follow the simple ins- tructions below. If the full length of the tree trunk is evenly suppor- ted as shown in Fig. 19 then proceed by cutting from the top down. Take care not to cut into the ground in the process. Anl_GC_EC_1935_SPK13.indb 25Anl_GC_EC_1935_SPK13.indb 25 07.05.2024 09:02:2407.05.2024 09:02:24GB

If the weight of the tree trunk is resting on one end as shown in Fig. 20, fi rst cut through 1/3 of the trunk diameter from the underside (A) in order to prevent it from splintering. Make the second cut from the top (2/3 of the diameter) to the height of the fi rst cut (B) (this prevents the chainsaw from being trapped). If the weight of the tree trunk is resting on both ends as shown in Fig. 21, fi rst cut through 1/3 of the trunk diameter from the top (A) in order to pre- vent it from splintering. Make the second cut from underneath (2/3 of the diameter) to the height of the fi rst cut (B) (this prevents the chainsaw from being trapped). When working with the saw on a slope, always position yourself at a higher point on the slope above the tree as shown in Fig. 15. In order to re- tain full control at the moment when the cut goes through, reduce pressure towards the end of the cut without releasing your fi rm grip on the hand- les of the chainsaw. Take care to ensure that the chainsaw does not touch the ground. After completing the cut, wait for the chain saw to come to a standstill before removing the chain- saw. Always switch off the motor of the chainsaw before moving from tree to tree.

The term “kickback” describes what happens when the running chainsaw suddenly kicks up- ward and backward. Usually, this is caused by contact between the tip of the cutter rail and the workpiece or the saw chain becoming trapped. In the event of kickback, large forces occur sud- denly and violently. As a result, the chainsaw usually reacts uncontrollably. This can often result in very serious injuries to the worker or persons in the vicinity. The risk of kickback is particularly great when performing cross cuts, angled cuts and longitudinal cuts, as it is not possible to use the claw stop on these cuts. You should therefore avoid these cuts as far as possible and take parti- cular care when they are unavoidable. The risk of kickback is at its greatest when the saw is positioned for a cut in the region of the tip of the cutter rail, as the leverage eff ect is greatest there (Fig. 22). It is therefore safest to position the saw fl at and as close as possible to the claw stop before making the cut (Fig. 23). Warning!

Make sure that the chain tension is always correctly adjusted.

Only use a chainsaw if it is in perfect working order.

Only work with a saw chain that has been properly sharpened in accordance with the instructions.

Never operate the saw above shoulder height.

Never cut with the upper edge or the tip of the sword.

Always hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands.

Whenever possible, use the claw stop as a leverage point. Cutting wood which is under tension Special care is required when cutting wood which is under tension. Wood which is under tension from which it is released by cutting may in some cases react completely unpredictably and uncont- rollably. In the worst case this could result in extre- mely severe or even fatal injuries (Fig. 24-26). This type of work must only be performed by per- sons who have been specially trained.

8. Replacing the power cable

Danger! If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

9. Cleaning, maintenance and

ordering of spare parts Danger!

Always disconnect the mains plug before cleaning the chainsaw.

Never immerse the unit in water or other li- quids in order to clean it.

Store the chainsaw in a safe and dry place out of the reach of children.

Regularly clean the clamping mechanism by blowing it out with compressed air or cleaning it with a brush. Do not use tools for cleaning.

Keep the handles free of grease so that you can maintain a firm grip.

cloth and, if necessary, mild washing up li- quid.

If the chainsaw is not to be used for an exten- ded period of time then you should remove the chain oil from the tank. Briefly immerse the saw chain and the cutter rail in an oil bath and then wrap them in oil paper.

In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon brushes checked only by a qualifi ed electrician. Danger! The carbon brushes should not be rep laced by anyone but a qualifi ed electrician.

Replacing the saw chain and cutter rail The cutter rail needs to be replaced if

the guide groove of the cutter rail is worn;

the nose sprocket in the cutter rail is dama- ged or worn. Proceed as described in the section “Assembly of the cutter rail and the saw chain”. Checking the automatic chain lubrication You should check the operation of the automatic chain lubrication system on a regular basis in or- der to guard against overheating and the associ- ated damage to the cutter rail and the saw chain. To do this, point the tip of the cutter rail towards a smooth surface (board, section of a cut tree) and allow the chainsaw to run. If an increasing oil trace becomes evident during this process then the automatic chain lubrication system is working properly. If no clear oil trace is evident then please refer to the corresponding instructions in “Troubleshooting”. If the information contained there still fails to remedy the situation then please contact our service department or another similarly qualifi ed workshop. Danger! Do not actually touch the surface with the tip of the cutter rail when performing this test. Keep a safe distance (approx. 20 cm). Sharpening the saw chain Eff ective working with the chainsaw is only pos- sible if the saw chain is in good condition and sharp. This also reduces the risk of kickback. The saw chain can be re-sharpened by any dea- ler. Do not attempt to sharpen the saw chain your- self unless you have the necessary special tools and experience.
