Safety information for pruners

National regulations may limit the use of the machine.

- Inspect the machine daily before each use and after dropping or other impacts to check for significant damage or defects.

- Do not use the machine near overhead power lines. Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock!

- Wear personal protective equipment when using the machine: Hearing protection, eye protection (visor or goggles), head protection and cut-proof, tight-fitting work clothes.

• Wear non-slip foot protection when using the machine.
  • Duration of use and breaks

Prolonged use of the machine can lead to problems with the blood circulation in the hands caused by vibrations, known as white finger disease. You can however extend your potential machine use time by wearing appropriate gloves or by taking regular breaks. Please ensure that if you are susceptible to poor circulation, low outside temperatures or strong gripping forces while working, this may reduce the length of time for which you are able to work.

• Always remain attentive. Pay attention to what you are doing.

Use common sense. Do not use machines if you are tired. You may not operate the machine under the influence of alcohol, medication or drugs that impair your ability to react.

• Use the shoulder strap and hold the machine by the handle and round handle. Take breaks and change your working position regularly.
• Keep a safe distance from other persons and hold the machine only by the specified grip surfaces.
• When cutting overhead, take care not to be hit by falling branches.
• Do not assume a dangerous working position. Never work on a ladder! Only work on firm and stable surfaces! Avoid an abnormal body posture. Keep your balance at all times. Ensure that there is sufficient lighting during the work. Make sure you have a secure footing in wet conditions, snow, ice, on slopes and on uneven terrain.
• Warning of exhaust emissions

The machine produces toxic exhaust gases as soon as the engine is running. These gases can be odourless and

invisible. Therefore, never work with the machine in closed or poorly ventilated rooms.

Kickback causes and how to avoid them with pruners

Caution - kickbacks! Be aware that you may experience kickback while working with the device. There is a risk of injury. Kickbacks can be avoided through taking the appropriate care and using the correct sawing technique.

a b

• Kickbacks may occur if the tip of the guide rail touches an object, or if the wood bends and the saw chain gets caught in the cut (see Fig. b).
• Under some circumstances, contact with tip of the rails can lead to an unexpected backwards reaction movement during which the guide rails move upwards and strike the operator (see Fig. a).
• If the saw chain becomes stuck along the top edge of the guide rail, the rail can kick back heavily towards to the operator.
• Each of these reactions can lead to you losing control of the saw and potentially being seriously injured. Do not rely exclusively on the safety devices built into the chainsaw. As user of the chainsaw, you should undertake various measures to enable accident- and injury-free working.

A kickback is caused by wrongly or incorrectly operating the power tool. It can be avoided by suitable cautionary measures, such as described below:

• Hold the saw firmly with both hands with thumbs and fingers surrounding the chainsaw handles. Place your body and arms in a position where you can withstand the kickback forces.
  The operator will be capable of with- standing the kickback forces if suitable measures are undertaken. Never let go of the chainsaw.
• Avoid an abnormal body posture. This enables better control over the chainsaw in unforeseen situations.
  • Always use the replacement rails and saw chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement rails and saw chains can cause the chain to break apart and/or may lead to kickback.
• Comply with the manufacturer's instructions for sharpening and maintaining the saw chain. Depth gauges placed too low increase the potential for kickbacks.
• Do not saw with the tip of the blade bar (see Fig. b). There is a risk of kickback.
• Ensure there are no objects on the ground which could cause you to stumble.

String trimmer - kickback causes and how to avoid them with a 3-tooth blade

In the event of a kickback, the operator will feel a powerful blow from the combination machine. This may lead to losing control of the device and serious injury. You can avoid kickbacks through caution and proper technique.

While working with the 3- tooth blade there is a risk of kickback if the blade edge hits an obstacle (stone, wood).

• Hold the device with both hands.
• Make sure there are no obstacles on the ground and do not use the 3-tooth blade near fences, metal posts or similar.

Initial start-up

Disconnect the spark plug connector (O 73) before carrying out any adjustment on the device.

When working with the device, wear suitable clothing, work gloves, eye protection, protective headgear, hearing protection and cut-resistant work boots. Prior to each use, ensure that the machine is working correctly. Do not lock the On/Off switch in place. Do not use the device if a switch is damaged.

Risk of injury and damage to property.

Observe noise protection rules and other local regulations. Operating the device can be limited or prohibited on certain days (e.g. Sundays and public holidays), certain daytimes (e.g. noon, night rest) or in special areas (e.g. health resorts, hospitals etc.).

Filling with fuel

Always ensure good ventilation when handling fuel. Do not smoke while refuelling

and keep any heat sources at a distance. Never refuel while the engine is running.

Carefully open the fuel filler cap so that any overpressure can slowly dissipate.

Start the device at a distance of at least 3 m from the fuelling point. There is a risk of fire or explosion if this advice is not heeded.

The filling volume of the tank is 1200 ml.

Use only the fuel mixture recommended in the instructions. The fuel mixture ages. Therefore, do not use fuel mixtures that are older than 3 months. If this not done, the engine may become damaged and your warranty will become null and void.

Avoid direct skin contact with petrol and inhalation of petrol. There is a danger to health!

The device is equipped with a two-stroke engine and is

therefore operated exclusively with a mixture of petrol and two-stroke engine oil at a ratio of 40:1.

Fuel mixture table:

Petrol 2-stroke oil
1.00 litre 25 ml
3.00 litres 75 ml
5.00 litres 125 ml
Mixing process	40 parts petrol + 1 part oil

- Use quality unleaded petrol with an octane rating of at least 90.

- For optimal performance, use oil for air-cooled two-strokeengines.

1. Mix petrol and oil in the fuel mixing bottle (24). Use the scale on the container.

2. ↓OIL First pour petrol into the fuel mixing bottle (24) up to the line marked "PETROL".

Then add oil until the "OIL" mark is reached.

Close and shake the fuel mixing bottle (24).

1. Unscrew the tank cap (55) and fill the fuel mixture into the fuel tank (54) using the funnel (33). Wipe fuel residues off the tank cap (55) and close the tank cap (55) again.

Clean the funnel (33) after use.

Tensioning the saw chain

Do not re-tension or change the saw chain when it is hot because it shrinks slightly once it has cooled down. If this is not observed it can lead to damage on the guide rail or the engine because the saw chain is now too taut on the blade bar.

Regularly tightening the saw chain provides safety for the user and reduces and/or prevents wear and chain damage.

Before starting work and at intervals of approx. 10 minute, we recommend the user to examine the chain tension and correct it if necessary.

The saw chain warms up when working with the saw and thus expands slightly.

These “expansions” can be expected especially from newer saw chains.

Chain tension and chain lubrication have a significant impact on the service life of the saw chain.

The saw chain is properly tensioned when it does not hang from the underside of the blade bar and cannot be moved around by a gloved hand. When pulling on the saw chain with 9 N (approx. 1 kg) of force, the saw chain and blade bar should not be separated by a distance of more than 2 mm.

10 min 9 N max. 2 mm

Risk of injury! Tension the saw chain with the engine switched off (after).

Tensioning the saw chain

1. Loosen the nut (48) of the sprocket cover (49) with the mounting key (26).
2. Tension the saw chain (44) by turning the screw (46) in a clockwise direction with the screwdriver (27).
   Reduce the saw chain tension by turning the screw anti-clockwise.
3. Fix the sprocket cover (49) by tightening the nut (48) with the mounting key (26).

The chain tension of a new saw chain must be readjusted after a maximum of 5 cuts.

Chain lubrication

The blade bar and saw chain must never be operated without oil. If the pruner is used with too little oil, the cutting performance and lifespan of the saw chain will decrease as the saw chain will

become blunt more quickly. You can identify when there is too little oil if smoke develops or the blade bar changes colour.

The oil flows to the blade bar as soon as the engine starts operating.

Always turn off the device and let the engine cool down

before filling with chain oil. Overflowing oil can cause a fire.

Filling with chain oil:

• Check the oil level indicator on the oil tank (57) regularly and top-up the oil if the minimum mark (58) "MIN" is reached on the oil level indicator. The oil tank holds about 120 ml of oil.
• Use bio-oil containing additives to reduce friction and wear. You can order this from our service centre. Alternatively, use chain lubricating oil with a low proportion of adhesion additives.

• Empty the oil tank if it will not be used for a prolonged period of time (6 - 8 weeks).

• Unscrew the oil tank cap (56) and pour the chain oil from the bottle (25) into the tank.

• Wipe off any spilled oil and close the oil tank cap (56) again.

You can regulate the oil inflow via the adjusting screw (59) on

the underside of the oil tank.

Swivelling out the cutter bar

The cutter bar must be checked regularly for wear and reground. A blunt cutter bar causes the device to overload. Any damage that results is not covered by the warranty.

GB MT

1. Hold the cutter bar by the handle (14) to adjust the cutter bar.
2. Unlock the safety lever (61) and keep it pressed.
3. By pressing the locking lever (60) at the same time, you release the fixation of the cutter bar.
4. Now you can swing out the cutter bar. Use the ratchet steps and allow the locking lever (60) to click back into place.
   The device has 12 possible working positions.
5. Then, release the safety lever (61) again and ensure that it latches back into its initial position.

Putting the shoulder strap on

The body protection (31) on the shoulder strap must be placed between the body and the device.

Sliding the carrying eye

Select the appropriate position for the carrying eye (6) for spool/3-tooth blade and pruner/hedge trimmer respectively. You can slide the carrying eye (6) to better distribute the weight of the device.

For spool/3-tooth blade operation:

Without touching it by hand, the device attached to the shoulder strap should be as follows,

① allow the spool to rest lightly on the ground.
② The 3-tooth blade should be balanced around 20 cm above the ground.

1. Loosen the screw (62) on the carrying eye for the shoulder strap using the hex key (28) and tighten it only slightly.

2. Depending on the cutting tool, balance the device according to the above criteria by moving the carrying eye (6) on the tubular shaft (5).

3. Tighten the screw (62) when the device is in the desired position.

Extending the line

Your device is equipped with a dual line auto-tap feature, i.e. the two strings are extended when you tap the cutting head on the ground.

1. Hold the device in operation over a grassy area.
2. Tap the cutting head lightly on the ground a few times. This causes the line to lengthen.

The line cutter (19) inserted in the extension (18) of the protec-

tive cover cuts the line to the desired length.

If the line ends cannot be lengthened:

• Turn off the device.
- Press the spool insert as far as it will go and pull firmly on the end of the string.

If no line ends are visible:

- Replace the spool (see chapter on 'Replacing the spool').

Caution! Thread remnants can be projected and lead to es.

Switching on and off

Start the engine at least 3 meters from where you refu-elled.

The saw chain must not move when idle. If the saw chain moves when the engine is idle, there is a problem with the clutch or no-load rotation speed. Please contact the service centre.

The device is automatically speed-controlled. When idling with- ad, the engine speed is lower.

1. When using the spool:

Make sure that the protective cap on the line cutter (A 18) is removed.

When using the 3-/4-tooth blade:

Make sure that the extension (A 19) of the protective cover extension (A 21) is removed.

Safe working

• Do not use the device when you are standing on a ladder or a surface that is not stable.
• Do not be tempted to make cuts that you have not carefully considered. This could endanger yourself or others.
  • Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the device.

- Change your working position regularly. Prolonged use of the device can lead to blood circulation disorders in the hands caused by vibration (Raynaud's syndrome). You can however extend your machine use time by wearing appropriate gloves or by taking regular breaks. Please ensure that if you are susceptible to poor circulation, low outside temperatures or strong gripping forces while working, this may reduce the length of time for which you are able to work.

• While using the pruner/hedge trimmer, pay attention to the specified working angle of max. 60° in order to ensure that you work safely with the device.
  • Always stand on the slope above or to the side of the branch to be sawn.
• Hold the device as close as possible to your body. This will ensure the best balance.

Working with the hedge trimmer

While cutting, make sure that you do not touch any objects, such as wire fences or plant supports. This can cause damage to the cutter bar.

- To avoid eye injuries, always wear safety goggles while working with the hedge trimmer. - Always hold the device tightly with both hands, with one hand on the rear handle and the other hand on the front round handle (A 9).

Your thumb and fingers must tightly clasp the handles.

- Check the shoulder strap ( A 29) for comfortable positioning which facilitates holding the hedge trimmer.

• If the blades become jammed with solid objects, switch the device off immediately, pull the mains plug or remove the batteries and then remove the object.
• Avoid over-stressing the device while working.

Working with the pruner

If the saw chain gets stuck, do not attempt to pull out the pruner with force. There is a risk of injury. Switch the engine off and use a lever arm or wedge to release the pruner.

- The saw chain should have reached its maximum speed before you begin sawing.

- You will have better control over the device if you saw using the lower edge of the blade bar (saw chain in pulling direction) and not using the upper edge of the blade bar (saw chain in pushing direction).

- The saw chain must not touch the ground or any object while sawing through the material or thereafter.

- Ensure that the saw chain does not get stuck while sawing. The log must not break or splinter.

- Please also observe the precautionary measures to protect against kickback (see the safety information).

- Remove branches hanging downwards by sawing from the top of the branch.

- Twisted branches must be individually cut down to size.

Working using the spool

- In small grass areas hold the device at an angle of about 30° and swing the

cutting head evenly to the right and left with a semi-circular movement.

• The best results are obtained with a maximum grass length of 15 cm. If the grass is taller, it is recommended to mow several times.
• To cut around trees, fence posts or other obstacles, slowly move the device around the obstacle and cut with the thread ends.
• Avoid any contact with fixed obstacles (rocks, walls, picket fences, etc.). The thread would wear out quickly. Use the edge of the protective cover to keep the device at the correct distance.

Caution! Do not lay the cutting head on the ground during operation!

Working with the 3-tooth blade

Always wear the shoulder strap and suitable protective clothing when working with the device. Wear eye, hearing and head protection.

Ensure that the blade is installed correctly. Replace damaged or blunt tool parts.

There is a risk of injury.

Only use the blade to work on open, even areas. Carefully inspect the area to be cut and remove all foreign bodies. Avoid hitting stones, metal or other obstacles. The blade can be damaged and there is a risk of kickback by the device.

- When working, hold the cutting head above the ground and slowly swivel the device back and forth like a scythe in an equal arch.

GB MT

• Do not hold the cutting head at an angle.
• Do not use the device to cut wild growth or brushwood.
• Regularly check the blades for damage and replace as needed.

Putting down the device

• Place the device on the ground with the engine housing first.
• The cutting unit must be placed on the ground without being subjected to any pressure.
• Do not apply any static pressure whatsoever to the cutting unit.

Cutting techniques using the hedge trimmer

• Cut out thick branches in advance using lopping shears.
• The double-sided cutter bar enables trimming in both directions, or via pendulum movements from one side to the other.
• When cutting vertically, move the hedge trimmer in a steady forward motion, or up and down in an arch-shaped motion.
• When cutting horizontally, move the hedge trimmer in a sickle-shaped motion to the edge of the hedge so that cut branches fall to the ground.
  • We recommend tying cords to achieve long, straight lines.

Trimming shaped hedges:

It is advisable to trim hedges in a trapezoidal shape to prevent the lower branches from becoming bare. This corresponds to the plant's natural growth and allows hedges to thrive optimally. Only the new annual shoots are reduced during cutting to allow dense branching and good protection of privacy.

1. First trim the sides of the hedge. To do so, move the hedge trimmer from bottom to top in the direction of growth. If you cut downwards, thinner branches will move outwards which may cause thin patches or gaps.
2. Then trim the top edge as desired: straight, pitch-shaped or round.
3. Trim plants while young to achieve the desired shape. The main shoot should be left intact until the hedge has achieved the intended height. All other shoots are to be cut in half.

Caring for free-growing hedges:

Free-growing hedges are not be trimmed into shapes but still need to be regularly maintained to ensure they do not become too tall.

Cutting techniques using the pruner

Be aware of the risk of kickback as well as falling branches and branches on the ground.

- Sawing off small branches:

Place the locating surface of the saw against the branch in order to prevent jerky movements of the saw when you begin to cut it. Guide the saw with light pressure from the top to the bottom through the branch.

Watch out for premature breakage of the branch if you have misjudged the size and weight.

Diagram showing a mechanical joint or fracture with an arrow indicating direction (no text or symbols present)

- Sawing off larger branches:

In the case of larger branches, select a relief cut fi rst of all to ensure that the sawing process is controlled. To do this, saw an incision (a) into the bottom third of the branch (with the upper side of the blade). Then saw from top to bottom towards the fi rst cut (with the underside of the blade) (b).

b a

- Sawing in sections:

Saw off large or long branches in sections so that you have control over the place where the branch section lands.

Diagram showing three rectangular blocks with downward arrows indicating flow or movement (no text or symbols)

- Saw the lower branches of the tree off first in order to make it easier for the branches that have been cut off to fall to the ground.

- After the cut is completed, the weight of the saw increases abruptly for the operator, as the saw is no longer supported on the branch. There is a danger that you will lose control of the device.

- You should only pull the saw out of the cut with the saw chain running in order

to avoid jamming.

• Do not saw with the tip of the cutting equipment.
• Do not saw the bulge at the base of the branch because this will prevent the tree from healing.
