5.2 Fitting the chain saw mounting kit (for

use as a pole-operated pruner)

5.2.a Assembly of the cutter rail and the saw

Undo the fixing screw (C) of the chain wheel cover (Fig. 5).

Take off the chain wheel cover.

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

Insert the cutter rail and chain as shown in the mounting in the chainsaw (Fig. 7). At the same time guide the chain around the chain wheel (Fig. 7/Item K).

Attach the chain wheel cover (Fig. 8/Item C) and fasten it hand-tight with the fastening screw. Important! Do not fully tighten the fastening screw until after you have adjusted the chain tension (see section 5.2.b).

5.2.b Tensioning the saw chain

Caution! Always remove the battery from the device before inspection and adjustment. Always wear protective gloves when working on the chainsaw to protect yourself against injury.

Undo the fixing screw (C) of the chain wheel cover a few turns (Fig. 5).

oning screw (Fig. 9/Item D). Turning the screw clockwise increases the chain tension, tur- ning it counter-clockwise decreases the chain tension. The saw chain is correctly tensioned if it can be lifted approx. 2 mm in the middle of the cutter rail (Fig. 10).

Secure the fixing screw (C) of the chain wheel cover (Fig. 8). Notice! All the chain links must lie properly in the guide groove of the cutter bar. Notes on tensioning the chain: The saw chain must be properly tensioned to ensure safe operation. You can tell that the chain tension is perfect if the saw chain can be lifted by around 2 mm in the middle of the cutter rail. As the saw chain heats up during cutting and thus changes in length, check the chain tension no less than every 10 minutes and adjust it again as required. This applies in particular to new saw chains. When you have fi nished working slacken the chain again, as the chain will shorten when it cools down. This will prevent the chain from being damaged.

5.2.c Saw chain lubrication

Caution! Always remove the battery from the device before inspection and adjustment. Always wear protective gloves when working on the chainsaw to protect yourself against injury. Important! Never operate the chain if it is not lubricated with saw chain oil. Use of the chainsaw without saw chain oil or if the oil level is below the viewing window will result in damage to the chainsaw! Important! Be aware of the temperature condi- tions: diff erent lubricants with completely diff erent viscosities are required at diff erent ambient tem- peratures. At lower temperatures you will need low viscosity oils in order to achieve a suffi cient lubricating fi lm. However, if the same low viscosity oil is used during the summer it will become even thinner due to the ambient temperatures alone, and as a result the lubricating fi lm could break down, causing the chain to overheat and become damaged. In addition, the chain oil would burn and produce unnecessary pollutants. Filling the oil tank (Fig. 11):

Place the chainsaw on a flat surface.

Clean the area around the oil tank cover (Item

31) and then clean the oil tank cover.

Fill the tank (Item 30) with saw chain oil. In the process, make sure that no dirt enters the tank, as this could cause the oil nozzle to become blocked.

Close the oil tank cover (Item 31). After the chain saw mounting kit has been fi tted and when the equipment is not being used, slip the cutter guard (Fig. 1/Item 18) over the moun- ted cutter bar with saw chain in order to prevent injuries.

7. Working with the chainsaw

mounting kit Preparations To ensure that you can work safely, check the fol- lowing points before every use: Condition of the chainsaw Inspect the chainsaw before the start of work for damage to the housing, the power cable, the saw chain and the cutter rail. Never use a chainsaw which is obviously damaged. Oil container Fill level of the oil container. Even while working, keep checking that suffi cient oil is in the system. To avoid damaging the chainsaw, never run the saw if there is no oil in the system or if the oil drops below the “min” mark. On average, a single fi lling will last around 20 minutes depending on the number of pauses in cutting and the loads involved. Saw chain Tension of the saw chain, condition of the cutting ele-ments. The sharper the chainsaw, the easier and more controllable it is to operate the chain- saw. The same also applies to the chain tension. Also while working you should check the chain tension no less than every 10 minutes in order to increase your safety. New saw chains in particular often tend to expand more. Safety clothing Always wear appropriate tight-fi tting safety clothing like special trousers which protect against cuts, protective gloves and safety shoes. Hearing protection and protective goggles. Wear a protective helmet with integral face and hearing protection. This will off er protection against falling branches and any branches if they spring back. Safe working

To ensure that you can work in safety you must use the equipment at a working angle of max. 60°.

Never stand under the branch you want to saw.

Use special caution when working with bran- ches under tension and splintered wood.

Possible risk of injury caused by falling bran- ches and catapulting pieces of wood.

When the equipment is in operation keep other persons and animals away from the danger zone.

The equipment is not protected from electric shock through contact with high-voltage cables. Keep a minimum distance of 10 m from live cables. Electric shock can cause fatal injury.

When working on slopes always stand to the upper or left or right side of the branch you wish to cut.

Hold the equipment as close as possible to your body. This will help you to keep your ba- lance. Anl_GHH_E_20_Li_OA_SPK7.indb 28Anl_GHH_E_20_Li_OA_SPK7.indb 28 06.11.15 06:5406.11.15 06:54GB

When removing branches, hold the equip- ment at an angle of max. 60° to the horizontal to avoid being hit by a falling branch (Fig. 27).

Start with the bottom branches on the tree. This will make it easier for the cut branches to drop.

After completing a cut, the weight of the saw will abruptly increase for the operator as the saw is no longer supported by the branch. This can result in you losing control over the saw.

Remove the saw from the cut only with the saw chain still running. This will prevent the saw from getting jammed.

Never cut with the tip of the saw.

Never cut into the bulging branch collar. This will prevent the tree from healing. Sawing off smaller branches (Fig. 28): Place the contact surface of the saw onto the branch. This will prevent the saw from making jerky movements when you begin a cut. Exerting slight pressure, guide the saw from the top to the bottom through the branch. Sawing off larger and longer branches (Fig. 29): Carry out a relief cut when working on larger branches. Start by sawing through 1/3 of the branch diame- ter (a) from the bottom to the top with the top side of the cutter rail. Then saw towards the fi rst cut (b) from the top to the bottom with the bottom side of the cutter rail. Saw off longer branches in several steps to keep control over the impact location. Kick-back! The term “kickback” describes what happens when the running chainsaw suddenly kicks up- ward and backward. Usually, this is caused by contact between the tip of the cutter rail and the workpiece or the saw chain becoming trapped. In the event of kickback, large forces occur sud- denly and violently. As a result, the chainsaw usually reacts uncontrollably. This can often result in very serious injuries to the worker or persons in the vicinity. The risk of kickback is at its greatest when the saw is positioned for a cut in the region of the tip of the cutter rail, as the leverage eff ect is greatest there. It is therefore safest to position the saw as fl at as possible. Important!

Make sure that the chain tension is always correctly adjusted.

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

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

Never cut with the upper edge or the tip of the cutter rail.

Always hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands. Cutting wood which is under tension Special care is required when cutting wood which is under tension. Wood which is under tension from which it is released by cutting may in some cases react completely unpredictably and un- controllably. In the worst case this could result in extremely severe or even fatal injuries. This type of work must only be performed by persons who have been specially trained.

8. Working with the hedge trimmer

Check that the cutters work properly. The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite direc- tions, thus guaranteeing high cutting perfor- mance and smooth operation.

Take care to maintain a steady foothold and hold the equipment firmly in both hands away from your body. Before you switch on, make sure that the equipment is not touching any objects. Work practice

A hedge trimmer can be used to cut shrubs and bushes as well as hedges.

To obtain the best cutting results, hold the hedge trimmer so that the cutter teeth are at an angle of approx. 15° in relation to the hedge (see Fig. 30).

The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite directions, thus enabling cutting in both direc- tions (see Fig. 31).

It is recommended to tie a guide line of string or the like along the hedge so that you cut the hedge to a level height. Cut off all branches which protrude beyond the guide line (see Fig. 32/33).

9. Cleaning, maintenance and

ordering of spare parts Danger! Remove the battery pack before doing any cleaning and maintenance work.

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

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

Clean the equipment as required with a damp cloth and, if necessary, mild washing up li- quid.

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

Never immerse the equipment in water or other liquids in order to clean it.

Use a brush to remove deposits from the sa- fety guards.

Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.

We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.

Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could at- tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu- re that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

9.2.1 Chainsaw mounting kit

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

The cutters should be cleaned and lubricated at regular intervals in order to ensure best perfor- mance at all times. Remove deposits with a brush and apply a thin fi lm of oil (Fig. 35).
