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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or med- ication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b. Wear personal protective equipment and al- ways safety goggles. Protective equipment such as a 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 o󰀨-position before connecting to power source and/or rechargeable battery, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites acci- dents. d. Remove any adjusting key or screwdriver be- fore 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 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 extraction and collection facilities, en- sure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards. h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a sec- ond.

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 o󰀨. Any power tool that can- not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjust- ments, changing accessories, or storing pow- er tools. Such precautionary measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

5. Safety instructions

General power tool safety warnings m WARNING - Read all safety instructions, in- structions, illustrations and technical data for this electric tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future ref- erence. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-oper- ated (cordless) power tool.

a. Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Clut- tered or dark areas invite accidents. b. Do not operate power tools in explosive at- mospheres, such as in the presence of am- mable 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. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b. Avoid body contact with earthed or ground- ed 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 con- ditions. 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 pow- er 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 operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduc- es the risk of electric shock.www.scheppach.com

• Keep your body warm, especially your hands, es- pecially in cool weather.

• Take regular breaks and move your hands to pro- mote circulation.

• Limit the use of high vibration tools per day and spread them over several days Make a work sched- ule that limits vibration exposure.

• Ensure as little vibration as possible of the tool via regular maintenance and stable parts on the de- vice. Replace worn parts immediately.

• Change your working position regularly.

• If the machine is to be used or operated frequently, you should contact your specialist dealer and re- quest anti-vibration accessories (handles) if appli- cable. Safety functions of the electric chainsaw

• The front hand guard protects the left hand of the operating person should it slip o󰀨 the front handle while the electric chainsaw is running.

• The rear hand guard protects the right hand from contact with a discarded or broken saw chain.

• The chain brake is a safety function for minimis- ing injuries from kick-backs by stopping a running saw chain in milliseconds. It is activated by the front hand guard in the event of a kick-back.

• The throttle interlock prevents the engine from ran- domly accelerating. The throttle lever can only be pressed when the switch-on lock is pressed.

• The claw stop supports the chainsaw on the wood while working. Never work without a claw stop, the chainsaw can pull the operator forward. Use the claw stop for cutting tree trunks or thick branches. Using the claw stop increases work safety, reduc- es personal strain when working and vibrations are also reduced. The claw stop must always be posi- tioned on the tree trunk when using the chainsaw. Push the claw stop onto the tree trunk using the rear handle. To cut, push the front handle in the di- rection of the cutting line. The claw stop may need to be repositioned for further cutting. General chainsaw safety warnings a) Keep all body parts away from the saw chain when the saw is running. Before starting the pruning saw, ensure that the saw chain is not touching anything. When working with a chainsaw, a moment of carelessness can result in clothing or body parts being caught by the saw chain. b) Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding the chainsaw using the opposite grip increases the risk of injuries and shall be avoided at all times. c) Only hold the chainsaw by the insulated grip- ping surfaces, as the saw chain could hit hid- den power lines or its own mains cable. d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil- dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to oper- ate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may a󰀨ect the power tool’s operation. 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 maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g. Use electric tools, insertion tools, etc. ac- cording to these instructions. taking into ac- count the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for opera- tions di󰀨erent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpect- ed situations.

a. Only have your electric tool repaired by qual- ied specialists and only with original spare parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. m WARNING! This power tool generates an electro- magnetic eld during operation. This eld can impair active or passive medical implants under certain cir- cumstances. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with medical implants consult with their physician and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operat- ing the power tool. Vibration m WARNING! Raynaud’s syndrome is a vascular disease that causes the small blood vessels on the ngers and toes to cramp in spasms. The symptoms include: Numbness, loss of sensitivity, tingling, itch- ing, pain, decrease in strength, change of colour or condition of the skin. The a󰀨ected areas are no longer supplied with su󰀩cient blood and therefore appear extremely pale. The frequent use of vibrating tools can cause nerve damage in people whose cir- culation is impaired (e.g. smokers, diabetics). If you notice unusual adverse e󰀨ects, stop working imme- diately and seek medical advice. For long-term and regular users, it is therefore recommended to closely monitor the condition of your hands and ngers. Ob- serve the following information to reduce hazards:www.scheppach.com

• The jamming of the saw chain on the upper edge of the guide rail can force the bar backwards in the direction of the operator.

• Each of these reactions can lead to you losing control of the saw and possibly su󰀨ering a serious injury. Never rely solely on the safety equipment in- tegrated in the chainsaw.

• As the chainsaw operator, you should implement various measures to work without a risk of acci- dents and injuries. Kickback is the result of incorrect or decient use of the power tool. It can be prevented by suitable pre- cautionary measures, as described in the following:

• Hold the saw rmly with both hands, with the thumbs and ngers enclosing the electric chainsaw handles (Fig. L). Bring your body and arms into a position in which you can absorb the kickback forc- es.

• If suitable measures are implemented, the operator will be able to withstand the kickback forces. Never let go of the chainsaw.

• Avoid an unusual body stance and never saw above shoulder height.

• This will help to avoid unintentional contact with the rail tip, and enable improved control of the chain- saw in unexpected situations.

• Always use replacement guide rails and saw chains prescribed by the manufacturer.

• Incorrect replacement rails and saw chains may cause the chain to break and/or lead to kick-back.

• Adhere to the instructions of the manufacturer when sharpening and maintaining the saw chain.

• If the depth limiter is too low, this increases the ten- dency towards kickback. Further safety instructions

• Lay the connecting cable so that it is not caught by branches or similar during sawing.

• Use a residual current circuit breaker with a trigger current of 30 mA or less.

• Carefully follow the maintenance, inspection and service instructions in this operating manual.

• Damaged protective devices and parts must be re- paired properly or replaced by our service centre unless otherwise specied in the operating manual.

• Before you start working with the electric chainsaw, familiarise yourself well with all the control parts. Practise using the saw (cutting logs to length on a metal work trestle) and have the function, mode of operation, sawing techniques and personal protec- tion equipment explained to you by an experienced user or specialist. Contact between the saw chain and a live power line can also electrify metal device parts and lead to an electric shock. d) Wear eye protection. Further protective equipment for hearing, head, hands, legs and feet is recommended. Suitable protective cloth- ing reduces the risk of injury from ying chips and accidental contact with the saw chain. e) Do not work with the chainsaw in a tree, on a ladder, or from a roof or an unstable standing surface. There is a serious risk of injury if operat- ed in such a manner. f) Always make sure you have a rm footing and only use the chainsaw when standing on rm, safe and level ground. Slippery ground or unsta- ble standing surfaces can cause loss of balance or loss of control of the chainsaw. g) When cutting a branch that is under tension, expect it to spring back. If the tension in the wood bres is released, the tensioned branch can hit the operator and/or wrest the chainsaw from control. h) Be especially careful when cutting under- growth and young trees. The thin material can get caught in the saw chain and hit you or throw you o󰀨 balance.

i) Carry the chainsaw by the front handle when

switched o󰀨, with the saw chain facing away from your body. Always put the protective cover on when transporting or storing the chainsaw. Careful handling of the chainsaw re- duces the likelihood of accidental contact with the running saw chain. j) Follow the instructions for lubrication, chain tensioning and replacing the guide bar and chain. An improperly tensioned or lubricated chain can break or increase the risk of kick-back. k) Only saw wood. Do not use the chainsaw for work for which it is not intended. Example: Do not use the electric chainsaw to saw metal, plastic, brickwork or building materials other than wood. Using the chainsaw for unintended work can cause dangerous situations. l) Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have a clear understanding of the risks and how to avoid them. The user or other persons can be seriously injured by a falling tree. Causes and avoidance of kick-back Attention: kick-back!

• Kickback can arise if the tip of the guide rail touch- es an object or if the wood bends and the saw chain jams in the cut.

• Touching with the tip of the guide bar can some- times lead to an unexpected backward reaction, whereby the guide bar whips up and in the direction of the operator.www.scheppach.com

• The vibration emission value can vary from the specied value during the actual use of the elec- tric tool, depending on the type and the manner in which the electric tool is used;

• Try to minimise stress from vibrations as low as possible. Some examples of means for reducing the vibration stress are wearing gloves while using the tool and limiting work time. In doing so, all parts of the operating cycle must be taken into account (such as times in which the power tool is switched o󰀨 or times in which it is switched on, but is not running under a load).

• Open the packaging and carefully remove the de- vice.

• Remove the packaging material, as well as the packaging and transport safety devices (if present).

• Check whether the scope of delivery is complete.

• Check the device and accessory parts for transport damage.

• If possible, keep the packaging until the expiry of the warranty period. m ATTENTION! The device and the packaging are not children‘s toys! Do not let children play with plastic bags, lms or small parts! There is a danger of choking or su󰀨ocating!

8. Attachment and operation

Warning! Always wear safety goggles, hearing protection, pro- tective gloves and sturdy work clothes! Use the electric chainsaw only with approved exten- sion cables (rubber-covered) of the specied rating and with outdoor-approved connections that match the saw’s plug. The chain saw is equipped with a safety switch. It only works if you press the switch-on lock (11) and the on/o󰀨 switch (13) with one hand at the same time. When the electric chainsaw is not running, the chain brake must be released with the front hand guard (3). Assembly Attaching the guide rail and chain (Fig. 1, 2, 3)

Warning: If the saw has already been connected to

the power supply: Always disconnect the device from the power supply rst. Wear protective gloves for all work with/on the saw. Important note: The front hand guard (3) must always be in the upper (vertical) position (Fig. 5).

• The specied total vibration value and the speci- ed noise emission value have been measured in accordance with a standardised test procedure and can be used to compare one power tool with an- other.

• The specied total vibration value and the specied noise emission value can also be used for an initial estimation of the exposure.www.scheppach.com

• A new saw chain (4) must be run in for approx. 5 minutes. Lubrication of the saw chain (4) is par- ticularly important in this instance. After running in, the chain tension must be checked and adjusted if necessary.

m Attention! Always make sure the device is fully assembled be- fore commissioning! The voltage and type of current of the power supply must comply with the specications on the type plate. Before starting work, always check that the electric chainsaw is functioning properly and operating safely. Also check that the saw chain (4) is well lubricated and that the oil level is su󰀩ciently high (see Fig. 4). If the oil level is approx. 5 mm above the lower marking, oil must be topped up. When the oil level is higher, you can start working.

• Switch on the electric chainsaw and hold it above the base. The electric chainsaw must not touch the oor. For safety reasons, a minimum distance of 20 cm must be maintained in this instance. If you de- tect increasing traces of oil, it means the lubrication system for the chain is working properly. If you can- not determine any signs of oil, rst clean the oil out- let (Fig. 2, C) and the oil line. If necessary, contact a specialist company. (Before doing this, please read the relevant instructions in the “Top up chain lubri- cant” section).

• If necessary, also check the chain tension and sag (see the section “Tensioning the saw chain”).

• Check that the chain brake is working properly (see also the section on “Releasing the chain brake”). Switching on

• Release the chain brake (3), press the on lock (11) and operate the on/o󰀨 switch (13).

• Place the lowest claw of the claw stop (10) (Fig. 2, J) against the wood. Lift the electric chainsaw by the handle at the back (1) and saw into the wood. Move the electric chainsaw a little backwards, and then set the claw stop (10) a little lower.

• Be careful with split wood because pieces of wood can be torn o󰀨. Attention! After switching on, the electric chainsaw immediately runs at full speed. The guide rail (7) and the saw chain (4) are supplied separately, i.e. not tted. When assembling, rst loos- en the lock nut / SDS system (5) and then remove the chain cover (6). The guide pin (17) must be in the middle of the guide. If necessary, adjust the chain tension with the lock- nut/SDS system (5) (Fig. 3). Warning! To avoid injury from the sharp edges, pro- tective gloves must always be worn when installing, tensioning and inspecting the chain! Before installing the guide rail (7) with the saw chain (4), check the cutting direction of the teeth! The run- ning direction is indicated by an arrow on the chain cover (6). To determine the cutting direction, it may be necessary to turn the saw chain (4) around. Hold the guide rail (7) vertically with the tip pointing upwards and attach the saw chain (4), starting at the tip of the guide rail (7). Then t the guide rail (7) with the saw chain (4) as follows:

• Attach the guide rail (7) with the saw chain (4) to the sprocket (16) and guide pin (17).

• Guide the saw chain (4) around the sprocket (16) and check that it is correctly positioned (see Fig. 3).

• Install the chain cover (6) on top and carefully se- cure it with the lock nut (5). Now the saw chain (4) must be properly tensioned. Tensioning the saw chain Warning! Always disconnect the device from the power supply before carrying out any work on the electric chain- saw! Always wear protective gloves when working on the chain!

• It is essential that the saw chain (4) lies in the guide rail (7)!

• Turn the locknut/SDS system (5) clockwise (Fig. 3) until the saw chain is properly tensioned.

• The chain must not be too taut. In cold weather con- ditions it must be possible to raise the saw chain (4) approx. 5 mm in the middle of the guide rail (7).

• In warm weather, the saw chain (4) expands and it sits looser. Here there is a risk of the chain running o󰀨 from the guide rail (7).

• It must therefore be retensioned in good time if nec- essary.

• If a heated saw chain (4) has been retensioned, it must be loosened again at the end of the work. Oth- erwise the chain tension would become too great when the saw chain (4) cools down and contracts.www.scheppach.com

Blade The blade (7) is heavily stressed especially at the tip (nose) and at the bottom. To avoid one-sided wear, turn the blade (7) around when sharpening the saw chain (4). Chain wheel The sprocket (16) is subjected to particularly high stress. If you nd deep signs of wear on the teeth, the sprocket (16) must be replaced. A worn sprocket (16) shortens the service life of the saw chain (4). The sprocket (16) must be replaced at a specialist dealer or by a specialist company. Chain guard The chain guard must be tted over the saw chain (4) and guide rail (7) immediately after nishing work and during transport. Chain brake In the event of the saw kicking back, the chain brake (3) is released via the front hand guard (3). The front hand guard (3) is pressed forward with the back of the hand. This causes the chain brake (3) to bring the electric chainsaw or the motor to a standstill within

0.15 sec. (Fig. 5, H).

Releasing the chain brake (Fig. 5) To make the saw ready for operation again, the block- ing of the saw chain (4) must be released. To do this, rst switch o󰀨 the electric chainsaw. Then fold the front hand guard (3) back into its verti- cal starting position until it clicks into place (Fig. 5, I). This makes the chain brake (3) fully functional again. Electric chainsaw protection Do not use the electric chainsaw in the rain or in wet conditions.

Warning: If the extension cable is damaged, remove

the plug from the socket immediately. Do not work with a damaged cable.

• Check the electric chainsaw for damage. Before using the device again, carefully check the protec- tive devices or any slightly damaged parts to make sure they are working properly and as intended.

• Check the proper functioning of the moving parts.

• All parts must be properly tted and meet all con- ditions to ensure proper operation of the electric chainsaw.

• Damaged safety devices and parts must be prop- erly repaired or replaced by a specialist company, unless otherwise specied in these operating in- structions. Switching o󰀨

• To switch o󰀨, release the on/o󰀨 switch (13) on the rear handle (1).

• When switching o󰀨 with the on/o󰀨 switch (13), the electric chainsaw stops in 1 second, in case of vi- olent sparking. However, this is completely normal and it does not a󰀨ect the proper functioning of the electric chainsaw.

• After working with the electric chainsaw: Always clean the saw chain (4) and the blade (7), and ret the chain guard.

• When the chain brake (3) is triggered, the electric chainsaw is immediately deactivated

10. Working instructions

Transport of the electric chainsaw Before transporting the electric chainsaw, always re- move the mains plug from the socket and t the chain guard over the blade (7) and the saw chain (4). If sev- eral cuts are to be made with the electric chainsaw, the saw must be switched o󰀨 between cuts. Extension cable Only extension cables designed for outdoor use may be used. The cable cross-section (max. length of the extension cable: 75 m) must be at least 2.5 mm². For safety, the extension cable must end in a loop that is passed through the strain relief on the housing (Fig. M). Extension cables longer than 30 m have a detrimen- tal e󰀨ect on the performance of the electric chainsaw. Lubrication of the chain To protect against excessive wear, the saw chain (4) and guide rail (7) must be lubricated evenly during operation. Lubrication takes place automatically. Never work without chain lubrication. If the saw chain (4) runs dry, the entire cutting xture will be severely damaged within a short time. Therefore, always check the chain lubrication and oil level before starting work (Fig. 4). Do not operate the saw if the oil level is below the “Min” mark.

• Min.: If the oil level on the indicator (15) is only 5 mm above the lower mark, oil must be topped up.

• Max.: Fill with oil until the maximum level is indicat- ed on the indicator (15). Chain lubricant The durability of the saw chain (4) and guide rail (7) is also largely determined by the quality of the lubri- cant used. Do not use used oil! Only use environmen- tally friendly lubricant. The chain lubricant may only be stored in containers that comply with the relevant regulations.www.scheppach.com

• When sawing on a slope, the machine operator should always stay on the higher level of the work area because the tree is likely to roll or slide down after felling.

• Look out for broken or dead branches that could fall and cause serious injury. The following conditions can inuence the direc- tion of fall of a tree:

• Wind direction and speed

• Inclination of the tree. The inclination is not always recognisable due to uneven or sloping terrain. De- termine the inclination of the tree using a plumb bob or spirit level.

• Branch growth (and thus weight) on one side only.

• Surrounding trees or obstacles If cutting and felling is done by two or more persons at the same time, the distance between the felling and cutting persons should be at least twice the height of the tree to be felled. When felling trees, care must be taken not to expose other persons to danger, not to hit supply lines and not to cause dam- age to property. Should a tree come into contact with a supply line, the utility company must be informed immediately. Look out for destroyed and rotten parts of the tree. If the trunk is rotten, it can suddenly break and fall on you. Ensure that there is su󰀩cient space for the falling tree. Keep a clearance of 2 1/2 tree lengths to the nearest person or other objects. Motor noise can drown out warning calls. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire from the sawing point. Keep an escape route clear (Fig. A) Before felling, an escape route should be planned and cleared if necessary. The escape route should lead away from the expected fall line at an angle to the rear (Fig. A). Position 1: Evacuation route Position 2: Falling direction of the tree Felling of large trees - only with appropriate train- ing (from 15 cm diameter) The undercutting method is used to fell large trees. A wedge is cut out of the side of the tree according to the desired direction of fall. After the drop cut has been made on the other side of the tree, the tree falls towards the wedge. Note: If the tree has large supporting roots, these should be removed before the notch is cut. If the saw is used to remove the supporting roots, the saw chain should not touch the base so that the chain does not become blunt. Note for practical use Kick-back Sawing accidents can be avoided if you do not saw with the tip of the guide rail (7), because the saw can then suddenly kick up and back. Always wear full protective equipment and sturdy work clothes when working with the saw. Kickback is an upward and/or backward movement of the guide rail (7) that can occur when the saw chain (4) hits an obstacle (object) at the tip of the saw (7). Always secure your workpiece well. Use clamping devices to hold the workpiece in place. This makes it easier to safely operate the chainsaw with both hands. Kickback causes uncontrollable behaviour of the saw, this danger is particularly present with a loose or blunt saw chain (4). An insu󰀩ciently sharpened chain increases the risk of kickback. Never saw above shoulder height. Tips for sawing in practice Important information

• Only use the device for sawing wood. Do not ma- chine metal, plastic, masonry, non-wood building materials, etc.

• Switch o󰀨 the motor if the saw comes into contact with a foreign object. Check the saw and repair it if necessary.

• Protect the chain from dirt and sand. Even small amounts of dirt can quickly dull the chain and in- crease the risk of kickback.

• Start by sawing smaller logs for practice to get a feel for your device before tackling more di󰀩cult tasks.

• Press the housing of the electric chainsaw against the tree trunk when you start sawing.

• Let the saw work for you. Apply only light down- ward pressure.

• To avoid losing control of the device after the chain has come out of the wood, do not apply pressure to the saw towards the end of the cut. Felling trees - only with appropriate training Caution! Watch out for broken or dead branches that can fall down during sawing and cause serious inju- ries. Do not saw near buildings or power lines if you do not know which way the felled tree will fall. Do not work at night, as this makes it harder to see, or in rain, snow or storms, as the direction of tree fall is unpredictable.

• Plan your work with the electric chainsaw in ad- vance.

• The work area around the tree should be clear so that you have a secure footing.www.scheppach.com

• Do not use the saw for places where trunks, roots and other tree parts are intertwined. Pull the trunks to a free spot, taking the exposed trunks rst. Di󰀨erent cuts for trunk division (Fig. D) Caution! If the saw gets jammed in a trunk, do not pull it out by force. You can lose control of the device and cause serious injury and/or damage the saw. Stop the saw and drive a plastic or wooden wedge into the cut until the saw can be easily pulled out. Leave the saw on again and carefully reapply the cut. Never start the saw when it is jammed in a trunk. Top cut (Fig. E, Pos. 1) Start at the top of the trunk for sawing, holding the saw against the trunk. Apply only light downward pressure to the top cut. Undercut (Fig. E, Pos. 2) Set for undercutting on the underside of the trunk, holding the top of the saw against the trunk. When undercutting, only exert a slight upward pull. Hold the saw well to be able to control the device. The saw pushes backwards (towards you). Caution! Never hold the saw upside down for an un- dercut. In this position you have no control over the device. Always make the rst cut on the compression side of the trunk. The compression side of a trunk is where the pressure of the trunk weight is concentrated. Trunk division without nozzles (Fig. F)

• When the entire length of the log rests evenly, saw from above (Pos. 1).

• Be careful not to saw into the ground. Trunk division resting on one side (Fig. G)

• If the log rests on one end, saw the rst cut (Pos.

1) from the underside (1/3 of the log diameter) to

• Second cut from the top (2/3 diameter) at the level of the rst cut to avoid jamming. Trunk division resting on both sides (Fig. H)

• When the log is supported at both ends, saw the rst cut (Pos. 1) from the top (1/3 of the log diame- ter) to avoid splintering.

• Second cut from the bottom (2/3 diameter) at the level of the rst cut to avoid jamming. Limbing and bucking Caution! Always take care and protect yourself from kickback. Never allow the running chain at the tip of the guide rail to come into contact with other branch- es or objects when limbing or pruning. Such contact can cause serious injury. Undercutting and felling of the tree (Fig. B - C)

• Saw a notch at right angles to the direction of fall with a depth of 1/3 of the tree diameter. First make the lower horizontal notch cut (Fig. B, Pos. 1). This avoids jamming the saw chain or guide rail when setting the second notch (Fig. B, Pos. 2). Now re- move the wedge that has been cut out.

• The felling cut (Fig. B, Pos. 3) can then be carried out on the opposite side of the tree. To do this, place it approx. 5 cm above the centre of the notch. Make the felling cut parallel to the horizontal notch cut. Saw the felling cut (Pos. 3) only deep enough to leave a bar (Pos. 4) (felling bar) that can act as a hinge. The bar prevents the tree from turning and falling in the wrong direction. Do not saw through the bar. Note: As the felling cut approaches the bar, the tree should begin to fall. If it appears that the tree is potentially not falling in the desired direction or is leaning back and the saw chain is jammed, stop the felling cut and use wooden, plastic or aluminium wedges to open the cut and move the tree to the de- sired fall line. When the tree starts to fall, remove the electric chain- saw from the cut, switch o󰀨, lay down and leave the danger zone via the planned escape route. Watch out for falling branches and do not trip.

• Look for signs that it is beginning to fall: Cracking noises, opening drop section or movement in the upper branches.

• Do not cut partially felled trees with your saw to avoid injury. Pay special attention to partially felled trees that are not supported. If a tree does not fall completely, set the saw down and assist with a ca- ble winch, pulley block or tractor. Sawing a felled tree (trunk division) The term “trunk division” refers to the cutting of a felled tree into trunks of the desired length. Caution! Do not stand on the trunk you are cutting. The trunk could roll away and you lose your footing and control of the device. Never carry out sawing work on sloping ground. Make sure you stand se- curely and distribute your body weight evenly on both feet. If possible, the trunk should be underpinned and supported by branches, beams or wedges. Important information

• Only saw one trunk or branch at a time.

• Be careful when cutting splintered wood. You could be hit by sharp wood particles.

• Cut small trunks or branches on a metal work tres- tle. When cutting trunks, no other person shall hold the trunk. Do not secure the trunk with your leg or foot either.www.scheppach.com

Caution! The saw chain must not come into contact with the oor. After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before removing the electric chainsaw. Always switch o󰀨 the electric chainsaw’s motor before switching from tree to tree.

• To transport the product, disconnect the it from the power supply and set it up in the new position you want to use it in.

• The product must be secured against tipping and slipping during transport in vehicles in order to pre- vent damage and injuries.

• Always use the guide rail cover when transporting.

• Switch o󰀨 the chainsaw before any transport, even over short distances. Secure the machine against tipping over during transport (including in vehicles) to prevent fuel loss, damage or injury.

• Carry the device only by the front handle. In doing so, the guide rail points backwards, away from your body.

If it is necessary to replace the connection cable, this must be done by the manufacturer or their represent- ative to avoid safety hazards. Warning! Always disconnect the device from the power supply before carrying out any work on the electric chainsaw!

• Always keep the ventilation slots on the motor housing clean and free. Only the maintenance work described in these operating instructions may be carried out by the user. All other maintenance tasks must be carried out by our customer service.

• The saw must not be modied in any way, because then the safety of the device is no longer guaran- teed.

• If, despite careful care and maintenance, the elec- tric chainsaw does not work properly, please have it repaired by a specialist workshop. Topping up chain lubricating oil Clean the oil tank cap (14) before opening it so that no dirt can get into the tank. When working with the saw, check the contents of the oil tank at the oil level indicator (15). Then seal the cap (14) well again and wipe o󰀨 any spilled oil. Sharpening the saw chain Your saw chain (4) is quickly and professionally re- sharpened at a specialist dealer. You can also obtain chain sharpening xtures from specialist dealers with which you can sharpen your saw chain (4) yourself. Caution! Never climb into the tree to limb or buck. Do not stand on ladders, platforms, etc. You could lose your balance and control of the device. Important information

• Work slowly and hold the saw rmly with both hands. Ensure a secure standing position and bal- ance.

• Watch out for tree parts that snap back. Be ex- tremely careful when cutting small parts of the tree. Pliable material can get caught in the saw chain and y towards you or throw you o󰀨 balance.

• Watch out for tree parts that snap back. This is especially true for bent or loaded branches. Avoid coming into contact with the branch or the saw when the tension of the wood gives way.

• Keep your work area clear. Clear the path of branches so as not to trip over them. Limbing (Fig. J)

• Limbing means cutting o󰀨 the branches of the felled tree.

• Leave the larger branches under the felled tree and use them as a prop while you continue working.

• Start at the base of the felled tree and work your way up to the top. Remove smaller tree parts with a cut in the direction of growth (arrows Fig. J).

• When doing so, always make sure to leave the tree between you and the saw.

• Remove larger, supporting branches using the methods described in the section “Trunk division without supports”.

• Always cut branches that are under tension from the bottom upwards to avoid jamming the saw.

• Always remove small, free-hanging tree parts with a top cut. An undercut could cause them to fall into or jam the saw. Bucking (Fig. I) Caution! Only buck branches at or below shoulder height. Never cut branches above shoulder height. Leave such work to a professional.

• For the rst cut (Pos. 1), cut 1/3 into the lower part of the branch.

• Then cut all the way through the branch with the second cut (Pos. 2). The third cut (Pos. 3) is a top cut, with which you separate the branch to within

2.5 to 5 cm of the trunk.

Sawing on slopes (Fig. K) Always stand above the tree trunk when sawing on slopes (Fig. K). In order to maintain full control at the moment of “cutting all the way through”, reduce the pressing force towards the end of the cut, without loosening your rm grip of the handles of the chain- saw.www.scheppach.com
