Safety instructions

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable 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 way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified 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 unplugging the power 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 cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shocks.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shocks.

3) Personal safety

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 influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as 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 off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning 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 your hairs, 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, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust related hazards.

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 off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. 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 adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the poser tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. 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 likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, being into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) Service

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

Power pruner safety warnings:

• Keep all parts of the body away from power pruner when the chain saw is operating. Before you start the power pruner, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating power pruner may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
• Always hold the power pruner with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding the power pruner with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done.
• Hold the power tool on the insulated handle surfaces as the saw chain may come into contact with the unit's mains supply cable. A contact of the saw chain with a live conductor may apply hazardous voltage to metallic parts of the unit and cause electric shock.
• Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
• Do not operate a power pruner in a tree. Operation of a power pruner while up in a tree may result in personal injury.
• Always keep proper footing and operate power pruner only when standing on fixed, secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the power pruner.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres is released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the power pruner out of control.
• Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
• Carry the power pruner by the front handle with the chain saw switched off and away from your body. When transporting or storing the power pruner always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the power pruner will

reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.

• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
• Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
• Cut wood only. Do not use power pruner for purposes not intended. For example: do not use power pruner for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the power pruner for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Vibrations

Hand arm vibration a_h = 3.64 m/s^2

Measuring uncertainty K_hd = 1.5 m/s^2

The indicated vibration emission level has been measured according to a standardised test method and can be used to compare power tools.

It can also be used for an initial estimate of the vibration exposure.

⚠ The actual vibration emission level during the use of the machine may differ from that indicated in the operating instructions or indicated by the manufacturer.

This may be caused by the following factors to be minded before and during the use:

– Proper use of the machine

– Correct cutting or machining of material
– Proper condition of the machine for use
— Use of the correct and sharp cutting tool

– Handles and optional anti-vibration handles properly mounted on the machine body

When you feel uncomfortable or notice discoloration of skin on your hands during the use of the machine, stop working immediately. Observe sufficient break times to rest. Failure to have sufficient break times may result in a hand-arm vibration syndrome.

The extent of exposure depending on the type of work or machine use should be estimated and appropriate breaks taken. In this way, the extent of exposure can be considerably reduced over the entire work time. Minimise the risk caused by vibrations. Maintain this machine according to the instructions in the manual. If you intend to use this machine frequently, contact your local authorised dealer and purchase anti-vibration accessories if required. Avoid the use of this machine at temperatures under 10^ C. Create a work schedule in order to minimise vibration exposure.

Working with the power pruner

⚠ Saw backstroke

What is saw backstroke? Saw backstroke is the sudden strike upwards or backwards of the running power pruner in direction of the operator.

This happens when

• the guide bar tip gets in contact with the sawing material (unintended) or other hard objects.
  — the saw chain is jammed at the guide bar tip.

The power pruner reacts uncontrolled and frequently causes heavy injuries of the operator.

How to avoid saw backstroke?

• For better control saw with the lower edge of the guide bar. Place the power pruner as horizontally as possible when contacting wood.
  — Never saw with the guide bar tip.
• Sawing with the upper guide bar edge may cause a saw backstroke if the saw gets jammed or hits a hard object in the wood.
  — Start cutting only with running saw chain.
  — Never switch on the machine with the saw chain put on.
  — Always hold the power pruner firmly with both hands.
  — Only work with correctly sharpened and clamped saw chain.

General conduct when pruning

■ Take into consideration environmental influences:

• Do not work on snow, ice or recently peeled wood – slip hazard.

• Do not work under insufficient light conditions (e.g. fog, rain, snow flurry or twilight). You cannot see any more details within the falling area – risk of accident.

• Delay the work in case of disadvantageous weather (rain, snow, ice, wind) – increased risk of accidents!

• Do not use the power pruner near inflammable liquids or gases.
• Keep a safety distance of 10 m to overhead power lines.

• Do not use the power pruner in a humid or wet environment.

• Plan an escape route from falling branches in advance. This escape route must be free from obstacles to ensure retreating without danger.
  ■ Position yourself outside the range of falling branches.
  ■ Make sure that someone is within calling distance in case of an accident.

• Keep other persons away. The safety distance is 2.5-times the length of the branch to be cut, but at least 6 m. ➞ 18
• Avoid abnormal posture. Keep at any time the balance. Do not work with the upper part of the body leaned forward.
• Operate the power pruner only with safe standing position. Hold the power pruner slightly to the right of the own body.
• Hold the power pruner always firmly with both hands, left hand on the front handle (19) and right hand on the rear handle (16). Always use the carrying strep supplied.
• Frequently change the working position to prevent a one-sided work position.
• Immediately stop working when you feel unwell (e.g. headache, dizziness, nausea, etc.). Otherwise there is an increased risk of accidents. Observe sufficient break times to rest.
  ■ Never work

– with stretched arms
— standing on a ladder, a staging or a tree.

■ Do not attempt to hit an already existing cut.
- Do not use the power pruner for lifting or moving of wood.
- Saw splintered wood with care. There is risk of injury by wood pieces carried away.
■ Make sure that the wood is free of foreign object (nails etc).
- Do not overload the machine! You work better and safer in the given performance range.
- Be careful at the end of a sawing cut. As soon as the power pruner leaves the wood the force of weight changes. There is risk of accident for legs and feet.
- Remove the power pruner only with running saw chain out of the cut.
- If the saw chain gets jammed in the wood, stop it immediately and remove the mains plug from the socket. Use a wedge to free the guide bar.
- Do not use any cracked saw chains or such that have changed their shape.
- Never touch wire fences or the ground with the running saw chain.
- Switch off the power pruner between the cuts when several cuts are carried out.
■ Make breaks when sawing so that the engine can cool down.

Before sawing

Carry out the following checks before the initiation and regularly during the sawing process:

→ Has the power pruner been assembled completely and properly?

→ Is the power pruner in good and safe condition?
→ Is the oil tank filled?

Check the oil level on a regular basis. Replenish immediately oil when oil level indicates „MIN“ so that the saw chain does not run dry.

→ Is saw chain clamped correctly?

Observe the points in paragraph „Clamping saw chain“.

→ Is saw chain sharpened correctly?

Use only well sharpened saw chains as edgeless saw chains increase not only the risk of backstrokes but also charge the motor.

→ Is handhold clean and dry – free of oil and resin?
→ Is workplace free of risks to stumble?
→ Do you wear the required protective equipment?
→ Did you read and understand all advices?
Is the power plug and the extension cable in good condition?

⚠️ Do not use any defective cables.

→ Is the extension cable correctly placed? ➕ 12

Work instructions (saw techniques)

■ Do not cut thin branches or bosks. The power pruner is not suitable for those works.
- Cut larger branches into several sections to avoid splintering and breaking.
■ Do not cut any branches where their diameter is greater than the cutting length of the device.
■ Do not stand directly underneath a branch to be cut.
■ Watch out especially for falling branches.
■ Also look out for branches snapping back.

Always wear a helmet in order to protect yourself against perches falling down.

Step cut ➕ 19

→ For horizontal branches without being top heavy

The branch section falls down in a controlled manner without tipping over.

① Set the first cut from below, approx. one third of the branch diameter.
② The second cut is made on the same level as the first cut or moved further toward the inside (negative breaking step).
③ Remove the remaining branch section.

Attention: Step cut error! ➕ 20

If the cut is made offset toward the outside (positive breaking step) and exceeded, the power pruner can be pulled along.

Maintenance and cleaning

Before each maintenance and cleaning work

• switch off device
  — Wait for standstill of the power pruner
  — Pull out power plug

Maintenance and repair work other than those described in this chapter is only allowed to be carried out by service staff.

For maintaining and cleaning, removed security devices must unconditionally be mounted properly and proved again.

Use only original parts. Other parts can result in unexpected damages and injuries.

Maintenance

⚠ In order to avoid possible injuries wear gloves.

To guarantee a long and reliable usage of the power pruner carry out the following maintenance works regularly.

Check the power pruner for

– loose or damaged saw chain
- loose fastenings
— wear, especially chain, guide bar and chain wheel
- worn or damaged components
- correct assembly and faultless covers and protective devices.

Necessary repair works or maintenance have to be carried out before using the power pruner.

Saw chain and guide bar

Saw chain and guide bar are exposed to a great extent of wearing. Replace the saw chain and the guide bar without any delay if their proper function is no longer ensured. ➞ "Installing the guide bar and the saw chain".

Sharpening of saw chain

You can only work safely and well with a sharp and clean saw chain. Damaged or incorrectly sharpened saw chains increase the risk of kickbacks.

The saw chain has to be sharpened if

instead of wood shavings only saw dust is ejected
→ you have to press the power pruner through the wood during cutting

For sharpening a saw chain some expertise is necessary. The saw chain must be regrinded in a specialised shop.

You can also sharpen your saw chain yourself by using our electric sharpener KSG 220 A (article-no.: 302360).

Cleaning of guide bar

→ Regularly inspect and clean
21 the guide slot (c) of the guide bar and
→ 17 the clamping plate (25) and the chain clamping boring (27)
→ Remove any burr using a flat file and emery paper.
⇒ Turn round the guide bar after each chain exchange/sharpening to avoid single-side wearing.

① Immediately replace a damaged guide bar.

Chain wheel

The demand of the chain wheel (24) is particularly great. Check regularly the teeth of the chain wheel for wear or damages.

A worn or damaged chain wheel reduces the durability of the saw chain and should therefore immediately be exchanged by the customer service.

Cleaning

Clean the power pruner carefully after each application so that the faultless function is kept.

→ Clean the case with a soft brush or a dry cloth.

⚠️ Water, solvents and polishing agents shall not be applied.

→ Check that the ventilation slots for the motor cooling are free (risk of overheating).

→ 9 After a longer operation period (1 – 3 hours) remove the cover (5), the guide bar (1) and the chain (2) and clean them with a brush.

⇒ If heavily contaminated, clean the device using a commercial chain cleaner.

→ 6 Remove all adhering substances with a brush from the chain wheel (24) and guide bar retainers (a).

→ 6 Clean the oil flow canal (26) with a clean cloth or a brush.

Transport

Remove mains plug before each transport.

⚠️ Transport the power pruner only with the chain protection put on.

Storage

■ Store unused equipment in a dry, locked place out of the reach of children.

■ Before a longer period of storage carry out the following to extend the power pruner's service life and ensure an easy operation:

→ thoroughly clean the device
→ Remove the oil from the oil tank.

■ Some chain oils tend to encrustations after a longer period. For this reason the oil system should be flushed before a longer storing with a chain saw cleaner. Fill the cleaner up to the middle (approx. 50 ml) into the oil tank. Close the tank. Switch on the power pruner without assembled guide bar and chain until the complete cleaner has left the oil opening of the power pruner.

⇒ Put the saw chain for a short time into an oil bath and enwrap it afterwards in an oil paper.

■ Put the chain guard in place.
