measured ......96.1 dB(A); K

Noise and vibration values were deter- mined according to the standards and stipulations mentioned in the declaration of conformity. The stated vibration emission value was measured in accordance with a standard testing procedure and may be used to compare one power tool to another. The stated vibration emission value may also be used for a preliminary exposure assessment.

Warning: The vibration emission

value may di󰀨er during actual use of the power tool from the stated value depending on the manner in which the power tool is used. Try to keep the exposure to vibra- tions as low as possible. Examples of measures to reduce vibration expo- sure are the wearing of gloves when using the tool and limiting the work- ing hours. All parts of the operating cycle are to be taken into account in this (for example times in which the electric tool is turned o󰀨 and those in which even though it is turned on, it is not running under a load). Notes on safety This section deals with the basic safety regulations while working with the chainsaw. Before working with the chainsaw, familiarise yourself with all the con- trols. Practise handling the saw (by cutting logs to size on a sawhorse) and have the functionality, mode of action, sawing techniques and per- sonal safety equipment explained to you by an experienced user or an expert. Symbols Symbols used on the saw A chainsaw is a dangerous de- vice, which can cause serious or even fatal injuries with incorrect or careless use. Thus, for your own safety and the safety of others, you should always take note of the in- structions on safety and, in case of di󰀩culties, consult a specialist for advice.78

Read and take note of the operating manual belonging to the machine Wear personal protective equip- ment. Basically, wear protective goggles or, even better, face protection, safety helmet, cut- protection working clothes and ear protection Use protective clothing Wear cut-protection gloves Wear cut-protection safety boots with anti-slip soles. Always use the chainsaw with both hands. Caution! Spring-back - Be careful of spring-back of the machine during work. Do not expose the unit to rain. The device must not be wet, nor should it be operated in a moist environment. Remove the battery from the unit before servicing it.

General safety instructions for power tools WARNING! Read all safety direc- tions and instructions. Omissions in the compliance with safety direc- tions and instructions can cause electrical shock, re and/or severe injuries. Retain all safety directions and instruc- tions for future use. The term “Power Tools” used in the safety instructions refers to mains-operated pow- er tools (with power cord) and to battery- operated power tools (without power cord).

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in ex- plosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable Iiquids, 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. Dis- tractions 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 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 un- plugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entan opergled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool out- doors, use an extension cord suita- ble for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. 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 RCD (Residual Current Device) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Please note that children, indi- viduals with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities, those with insu󰀩cient experi- ence or knowledge or individu- als who are not familiar with the instructions must never be per- mitted to use the machine. Local regulations may specify an age restriction for the user.80

a) Stay alert, watch what you are do- ing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or un- der the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inatten- tion white operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protec- tive equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropria te conditions will reduce personal inju- ries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. En- sure the switch is in the o󰀨-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, 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 accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left at- tached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper foot- ing 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, jewel- lery or long hair can be caught in mov- ing parts.. g) If devices are provided for the con- nection of dust extraction and col- lection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust- related hazards. h) Warning! During operation, this electric tool generates an electromagnetic eld 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.

i) Change your working position regu-

larly. Long use of the equipment can result in vibration-related circulatory disorders in the hands. However, the length of use can be extended by us- ing suitable gloves or taking regular breaks. Note that a personal tendency for poor circulation, low outdoor tem- peratures, or high gripping forces dur- ing work will reduce the length of use.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your applica- tion. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and o󰀨. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool - before making any adjust -ments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. - whenever the user no longer re- mains in the vicinity of the machine. - before the removal of blockages. - before checking, cleaning or work- ing on the machine.81

• 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 re.

• If used incorrectly, liquid may leak from the battery. Avoid contact with this. In the event of accidental contact, rinse o󰀨 with water. If the liquid gets into eyes, seek medical assistance. Leaking battery uid may cause skin irritations or burns.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

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 cloth- ing or body with the saw chain. b) 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 conguration increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done. c) Wear safety glasses and hear- ing protection. Further protective equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal

after touching a foreign body in order to check the machine for damage. - for an immediate check if the ma- chine begins to vibrate excessively. Such preventive safety measures re- duce the risk of starting the power tool accidentaIly. 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 dan- gerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain power tools. Check for mis- alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condi- tion that may a󰀨ect the power tool’s op- eration. 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 Iikely 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 di󰀨erent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

• Charge the batteries only in chargers that are recommended by the manu- facturer. Risk of re if a charger that is suitable for a specic type of bat- tery is used with other batteries.

• In the power tools, use only the bat- teries designed for the purpose. The use of other batteries may result in injuries and risk of re.82

injury by ying debris or accidentaI contact with the saw chain. d) Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of a chain saw white up in a tree may result in personal in jury. e) Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when standing on xed, secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain saw. f) When cutting a Iimb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood bres is released the spring loaded Iimb may strike the operator and/or throw the chain saw out of control. g) Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you o󰀨 balance. h) Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw switched o󰀨 and away from your body. When transporting or storing the chain saw always t the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the Iikelihood of accidentaI contact with the moving saw chain.

i) Follow instructions for lubricating,

chain tensioning and changing ac- cessories. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback. k) Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control. l) 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 di󰀨erent than intended could result in a hazardous situation. m) Hold the power tool only on the insulated handle surfaces, as the saw chain can come into contact with concealed power lines. Contact between the saw chain and a live wire can make metal parts of the equip- ment live and cause an electric shock.

Beware of kickback! Be careful of kickback of the machine dur- ing work. There is danger of injury here. You can avoid kickbacks by exercising caution and using a cor- rect sawing technique. pic 1 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. (see pic 1. b ). Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator. (see pic 1/. a). Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely ex-83

clusively 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 condi- tions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below: a) Maintain a rm grip, with thumbs and ngers 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 b) Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. This helps pre- vent unintended tip contact and enables better control of the chain saw in unex- pected situations. c) Only use replacement bars and chains specied by the manufac- turer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/ or kickback. d) Follow the manufacturer´s sharpen- ing and maintenance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to in- creased kickback. 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 swing- ing 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 electro- magnetic eld 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 doc- tor and the manufacturer of their medical implant before operating the machine.

4. Slide the saw chain (5) into the

bar guide groove. To mount the guide bar (4), raise it to an angle of approx. 45 degrees. This will make it easier to replace the saw chain (5) onto the sprocket (22).

5. Place the chain bar (4) and saw

chain (5) on the bar bolts (23). When the lug (24) to the right of the coach screw (23) sits in the slotted recess on the blade, the blade is placed correctly. It is normal that the saw chain (5) is slack.

6. Place the sprocket cover (15) into

position. The chain tensioner pin (26) on the inside of the sprocket cover (15) must be guided into the chain tension pin holder (25).

7. Slightly tighten the mounting

screw (13) of the sprocket cover

8. Pre-tension the saw chain (5) by

turning the screw for the chain quick-tensioning system (14) in a clockwise direction.

9. Tighten the mounting screw (13)

of the sprocket cover ( ). Operation startup Always wear protective gloves when working with the chainsaw and employ only original parts. Injury hazard! Prior to commissioning the device, you must: - assemble the blade and the sawing chain - tension the sawing chain - ll it with biological chain oil - charge and insert the battery - test the oil automatics and the operabil- ity of the chain brake 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. Fitting the blade and saw chain Switch o󰀨 the device and remove the battery from the device.

1. Lay the saw on a at surface.

2. Turn the fastening bolt (13) anti-

clockwise ( ) to remove the sprocket chain wheel cover- ing (15).

3. Spread the chain (5) out into a

Tensioning the saw chain With a correctly tensioned chain you get good cutting performance and a longer life

An incorrectly tensioned chain may break or spring o󰀨, leading to danger of injury. Test the saw be- fore every start and the chain ten- sion after every hour of sawing. 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 9 N (approx. 1 kg), the gap between the saw chain and the guide rail may not be more than 2 mm.

1. Ensure that the chain brake has

been released, that is, that the chain brake lever (3) is pulled up against the front grip (8).

3. To tension the saw chain, turn the

screw (14) for the chain quick- tensioning system in clockwise direction. To loosen the tension, turn the screw (14) in counter-clockwise direction.

4. Tighten up the fastening bolt (13)

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 you operate the elec- tric chainsaw with too little oil, the cutting performance and the life- time of the saw chain is reduced, since the chain becomes blunt fast- er. You can identify a case of too little oil where smoke development or discoloration of the rail occurs. The chainsaw is equipped with an auto- matic oiling system. As soon as the motor is speeded up, the oil also ows faster to the chain bar (4). Filling up with chain oil:

• Check the oil ll level and regularly top up with oil ( 27). The oil tank holds 220 ml of oil.

• Use Grizzly Tools 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 Grizzly bio-oil available, use chain lubrication oil with low adhe- sive additive content.

1. Unscrew the oil ll cap (2) and ll

2. Wipe o󰀨 any spilled oil and close

the cap again. Always switch o󰀨 the device and allow the motor to cool before lling with chain oil. There is a risk of re if oil overows. Operating Switch on the chainsaw only when chain bar, saw chain and sprocket chain wheel covering are correctly assembled.86

then press the On/O󰀨 switch (11), the chainsaw runs with highest speed. Release the switch-on block again

The power saw switches o󰀨 when you release the On/O󰀨 switch (11) again. Switching for continuous running is not possible. 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 o󰀨.

1. Place the chainsaw onto a solid,

at surface. It must not contact any objects.

2. Release the chain brake, where

you shift the brake arm (3) back against the front grip (8).

3. Hold the chainsaw rmly with

both hands, with the right hand on the rear handle ( 1) and the left hand on the front handle ( 8). Thumb and nger must close securely over the handles.

4. Turn on the chainsaw.

5. Activate the chain braking le-

ver (3), with running motor, with the left hand. To do so, push the chain braking lever/front hand protection (3) away from the front handle (8). Chain should stop abruptly.

6. Once the chain brake is work-

ing properly, release the on/o󰀨 switch (10) and the chain brake. If the chain brake does not func- tion 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. 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. Indicator charge level Press the „Press“ button on the right of charging level indicator ( 19b), in order to check the status of the battery. The number of illuminated LED lights shows the charge level of the battery. Removing / inserting the battery

2. To insert the battery (19), place it on the

guide track (17) and push it back into the appliance. It will audibly snap in. Switching on

1. Check before the start, whether su󰀩-

cient chain oil is in the tank and, if nec- essary, rell with chain oil (see Chapter “Operation startup”). - the charge status of the battery (see ).

2. Release the chain brake, where you

shift the brake arm (3) back against the front grip (8).

3. Hold the chainsaw rmly with both

hands, with the right hand on the rear grip (1) and the left hand on the front handle (8). Thumb and nger must close securely over the handles.

4. For switching on, activate the switch-

on block (10) with the right thumb and87

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 chain- saw 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 (28), in order to guarantee a trouble-free, automatic oiling of the saw chain during operation. Change the blade / saw- ing chain

Lay the saw on a at surface.

2. Turn the fastening bolt (13) and the

screw for the chain quick-tensioning system (14) in counter-clockwise direction in order to loosen the chain tension and to remove the sprocket chain wheel cover (15).

Remove the saw bar (4) saw chain (5). To remove the guide bar (4), raise it to an angle of approx. 45 degrees. This will make it easier to take the saw chain (5) o󰀨 the sprocket (22).

4. For assembly, see „Assembling the

blade and the sawing chain“ 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 com- mission.

• Dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire must be removed from the tree.

• After completing the cut, wait for the chainsaw to come to a standstill be- fore removing the chainsaw.

Always switch o󰀨 the chainsaw motor before moving from one tree to another.

• Lay the connecting lead such that it will not be caught on branches or simi- lar during sawing.

• For each cut, apply the claw stop se- curely 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 push- ing saw chain).

• The saw chain must not contact either the ground or another object during saw- ing 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 o󰀨.

• 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 rm 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 be-88

fore removing the chainsaw. Always switch o󰀨 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 o󰀨 the motor and use a lever or wedge to free the electric chain- saw. 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, under- pin 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 rm 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 o󰀨 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.

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 rst cut to prevent the bar from be- coming 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.

4. Sawing on a sawhorse:

Hold the electric chainsaw steady with both hands, keeping the saw in front of you while saw- ing. 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). Limbing Limbing is the designation for the sawing o󰀨 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.89

• Do not remove support branches until after the sawing o󰀨.

• 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 o󰀨 branches on the other side of the trunk.

• Branches sticking out are cut o󰀨 sepa- rately.(see

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

• Ensure that no people or animals are in the eld of action. The safety distance between the tree to be felled and the nearest-located workplace must be 2 ½ tree lengths.

• Note the felling direction: The user must be able to move safely near the felled tree, to saw o󰀨 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 character- istic 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 o󰀨 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 simultane- ously, the distance between the felling and cutting persons must be at least twice the height of the tree to be fellled. 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 blow- ing, 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.

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 direc- tion (2).

3. Cutting notch (A):

Make a felling notch in the direc- tion in which you wish the tree to fall. Start with the bottom, hori-90

zontal cut. The cut depth should be around 1/3 of the trunk diam- eter. This will prevent the saw chain or the guard rails from jam- ming 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.

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 be- tween the back cut and the notch cutting line is at least 1/10 of the trunk diameter. The part of the stem not sawn through is called a stay (felling gib). The stay pre- vents the tree from turning and falling in the wrong direction. Do not saw through the stay.gen Sie den Steg nicht durch.

5. 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 re- quired 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.

6. If the trunk diameter is larger

than the length of the chain bar, make two cuts. For safety reasons, we advise in- experienced users not to fell any logs with a rail length which is smaller than the trunk diameter.

7. After carrying out of the back cut,

the tree falls by itself or with the aid of the felling wedge or crow- bar. 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 Remove the battery prior to ser- vicing the appliance. Danger of injury! Leave any maintenance and ser- vicing 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 clean- ing works. Danger of burn injuries! Use cut-protection gloves when handling the chain or the chain bar. Risk of cuts! Remove the battery from the unit before servicing it. Cleaning

• Clean the machine thoroughly after every use. In this way, you extend the life of the machine and avoid accidents.91

• Keep the gripping handles free of petrol, oil or grease. Clean the grip- ping handles, where appropriate, with a moist cloth soaked in soap. Use no solvents 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. 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 op- timal cutting performance. It eats e󰀨ortlessly 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 dis- tance 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°) - Sharpness depth (0.65 mm) - Round le diameter (4.0 mm) Deviations from the measure- ment data of the cutting geom- etry 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 inexperi- enced 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 le

with 4.0 mm diameter is neces- sary. Other diameters damage the chain and can lead to danger during work!

3. Sharpen only from the inside to

the outside. Guide the le from the inner side of the cutting teeth to the outer side. Lift the le when you are withdrawing it.

4. Sharpen rst the teeth on one

side. Turn the saw around and sharpen the teeth of the other side.92

1. Switch o󰀨 the saw and remove the bat-

tery from the device ( 19).

2. Remove the sprocket chain wheel cov-

ering (15), the saw chain (5) and the chain bar (4).

3. Check the chain bar (4) for wear. Re-

move burrs and straighten the guide surfaces with a at le.

4. Clean the oil passages ( 28), of

the chain bar, in order to guarantee a trouble-free, automatic oiling of the saw chain during operation.

(4), chainsaw (5) and sprocket chain wheel covering (15) and tighten the chainsaw. With the oil nozzles in good condi- tion and the oil regulator set cor- rectly, the saw chain will spray a little oil o󰀨 after starting. The blade (4) must be inverted every 8-10 working hours in order to guarantee even wear.

1. Switch o󰀨 the saw and remove the bat-

tery from the device ( 19).

2. Remove the sprocket chain wheel cov-

ering (15), the saw chain (5) and the chain bar (4).

3. Turn the blade around its horizontal

axis and install the blade and chain as described under “Fitting the blade and saw chain”. When doing so, pay attention to the correct rotation direction of the saw chain! Direction of travel of the saw chain

5. The chain is worn and must be

replaced by a new saw chain if only approx. 4 mm of the cutting teeth is remaining.

6. After the sharpening, all cutting

elements must now be equal in length and width.

7. After every third sharpening, the

sharpness depth (depth limita- tion) must be checked and the height led with the aid of a at le. The depth limitation should be set back about 0.65 mm from the cutting tooth. After the setting back of depth limitation, round it o󰀨 a little at the front. Adjusting the chain tension The adjustment of the chain tension is de- scribed in the chapter: Starting operation, tensioning chainsaw.

• Switch o󰀨 the device and remove the battery from the device

• Check the chain tension regularly and re-adjust this as often as possible.When the saw chain is tensioned with 9 N (approx. 1 kg), the gap between the saw chain and the guide rail may not be more than 2 mm. Starting up a new saw chain In the case of a new chain, the tensioning force decreases after some time. Therefore you must re-tension the chain after the rst 5 cuts and at longer intervals after this. 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 seri- ous injury.93

Use the graphical symbol below the chain sprocket cover (15) as a guide to the alignment of the saw chain (5) when the blade is rotated. The illustrated direction of travel on the blade is no longer true.
