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 any 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 elec-

tric 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 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 reduces the risk of electric shock.

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 energizing 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 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 jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry 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.

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 second.

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.
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 tools. 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 power 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 tool's 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, taking 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.
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 unexpected situations.
5) Battery tool use and care

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion. NOTE The temperature „130 °C“ can be replaced by the temperature „265 °F“.

g) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

6) 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.

b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.

Safety information for garden pruners

a) When in operation, keep all body parts away from the saw chain. Before you start the saw, ensure that the saw chain is not touching anything. When using a garden pruner, losing concentration for just a moment can lead to clothing or body parts being caught up in the saw chain.

b) Always hold the garden pruner with your right hand on the rear handle and left hand on the front handle. Holding the garden pruner the other way around increases the risk of injuries and is not permitted.

c) Wear safety glasses and ear protection. Other protective equipment for the head, hands, legs and feet is compulsory. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental 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 injury.

e) Ensure you are standing firmly and only use the garden pruner if the ground beneath you is solid, secure and even. Slippery ground or unstable surfaces such as on a ladder can lead to loss of balance or loss of control over the garden pruner.

f) If working on a branch under tension, be aware that it will spring back. Once the tension in the wood fi bres has been released, the branch may hit the operator and/or control over the garden pruner may be lost.

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 off balance.

h) Carry the garden pruner by the front handle when it is switched off with the saw chain pointing away from your body. Always place the protective cover onto the garden pruner when transporting or storing it. Careful handling of the garden pruner reduces the probability of accidentally coming into contact with the running saw chain.

i) Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. 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.

I) Only saw wood. Do not use the garden pruner for unintended applications. Example: Do not use the garden pruner to saw through plastic, masonry or construction materials not made from wood. Use of the garden pruner for unintended applications can lead to hazardous situations.

m) Hold the power tool only on the insulated handle surfaces, as the saw chain may come into

contact with concealed power cables. Contact between the saw chain and a live cable may render metallic components live and result in an electric shock.

n) This chainsaw is not suitable for felling trees.
Using the chainsaw for work other than that for which it is intended may result in serious injury to the user or other persons

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR BATTERY

a) Do not open the battery. Danger of short-circuiting.
b) Protect the battery against heat, e. g., against continuous intense sunlight, fire, water, and moisture. Danger of explosion.
c) In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and seek medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can irritate the respiratory system.
d) Use the battery only in conjunction with your Vonroc product. This measure alone protects the battery against dangerous overload.
e) The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit can occur and the battery can burn, smoke, explode or overheat.

helps you to catch spring-backs with specially developed control systems.

Warning: The vibration emission value may differ 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 vibrations as low as possible. Examples of measures to reduce vibration exposure are the wearing of gloves when using the tool and limiting the working 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 off and those in which even though it is turned on, it is not running under a load)

Beware of kickback! Be careful of

kickback of the machine during work. There is danger of injury here. You can avoid kickbacks by exercising caution and using a correct sawing technique.

Fig. 1 A B

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 (cf. fig 1/image B). Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator (fig. 1/image A).

Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards 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 pruner saw. As user of the pruner saw, you should undertake various measures to enable accident- and injury free working.

Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

a) Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers 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) Avoid an abnormal work posture and do not saw above shoulder height. This prevents unintentional contact with the rail tip and enables better control of the pruner saw in unforeseen situations.
c) Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
d) Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to

increased kickback.

Further safety directions

• Comply carefully with maintenance, control and service instructions in this manual.
• Damaged protective devices and parts have to be repaired or changed except as noted otherwise in this manual.
• It is recommended that a first-time user at least practice the cutting of logs on a saw log or frame.
• For sawing work on hillsides, always stand in the area above the log. To keep total control while sawing through, reduce the pressure at the end of the cut without loosening your grip on the handles of the pruner saw. Make sure the saw chain does not touch the ground. After finishing the cut, wait until the pruner saw comes to a stop before removing it there. Always switch off the motor of the pruner saw before changing between trees.
• Dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, clips and wires must be removed from the tree.
• Do not use any accessories that are not recommended. This can result in electric shock or fire.
• This tool is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Children or persons unfamiliar with these instructions must not operate the chain saw. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.
• The user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.
• Use the chain saw only in daylight or in good artificial light.
• Never operate the chain saw with defective guards or without the guard in place.
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to ensure that the chain saw is always in a safe working condition.
• Hold the product securely with both hands.
• Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
• Do not attempt to repair the machine unless you are qualified to do so.

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 swinging 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 electromagnetic field 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.

3. ASSEMBLY

Always wear protective gloves when working with the chainsaw and employ only original parts

Before putting the electric chain saw into operation, you must:

• adjust the saw chain tension,
• lubricate the saw chain
• charge and insert the battery

Assembling the blade bar and saw chain

Switch off the device and remove the battery before carrying out any maintenance work.

1. Place the device on a level surface.
2. Turn the Mounting knob (10) of the sprocket cover in an anticlockwise direction (in order to remove the sprocket cover (9).
3. Spread out the saw chain (12) in a loop so that the cutting edges are aligned in a clockwise direction. Use the graphical symbol on the blade bar or above the chain sprocket (17) as a guide to align the saw chain (12).

Direction of travel of saw chain

1. Place the saw chain (12) into the blade bar groove. To assemble, hold the blade bar (11) tilted upwards at an angle of approx. 45 degrees in order to be able to guide the saw chain (12) more easily onto the chain sprocket (17).
2. Place the blade bar (11) and saw chain (12). It is normal for the saw chain (12) to sag.
3. Turn the screw for the chain quicktensioning system (8) until the chain tensioner pin (19) is approximately level with the mounting screw (16).
4. Place the sprocket cover (9) into position. The chain tensioner pin (19) on the inside of the sprocket cover (9) must be guided into the chain tension pin holder.
5. Screw the Mounting knob (10) into the threaded screw (16).
6. Pre-tension the saw chain (12) by turning the screw for the chain quicktensioning system (8) in the direction.
7. Tighten the mounting knob (10) of the sprocket cover (→)

Caution! The pruner saw can be prone to leaks.

Prior to changing the saw chain, the groove of the guide rail must be cleaned of dirt because dirt deposits available can cause the saw chain to break out of the rail. The deposits can also absorb the chain oil. So the consequence would be that the chain oil would not or only a small part of it would reach the underside of the rail and the lubrication would be reduced.

Tensioning the saw chain

Regularly tightening the saw chain provides safety for the user and reduces and/or prevents wear and chain damages. Before the start of work and in approx. 10 minute intervals, we recommend the user to examine the chain tension and correct it, if necessary. The chain warms up when working with the saw and thus expands slightly. These “expansions” can be expected especially from newer chains.

Do not re-tighten or change the chain when it is hot because it shrinks slightly once it has cooled down. In case of non-observance, this can lead to

damages on the guide rail or the engine because now the chain is too taut on the blade. Chain tension and chain lubrication have a significant impact on the service life of the chain.

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.

Switch off the device and remove the battery before carrying out any maintenance work.

1. Loosen the mounting knob (10) of the sprocket cover (9) (2)
2. Totension the saw chain, turn the screw (8) for the chain quicktensioning system in the direction. To loosen the tension, turn the screw (8) for the quick-tensioning system in the direction.
3. Tighten the mounting knob (10) of the sprocket cover (9) again (→)

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

Removing/inserting the rechargeable battery

1. To insert the battery (14) into the device, push the battery along the guide rails into the device. You will hear them click into place.
2. To remove the battery (14) from the device, press the release button (14a) on the battery and pull the battery out.

4. OPERATION

Switch on the chainsaw only when chain bar, saw chain and sprocket chain wheel covering are correctly assembled.

Make sure you have a secure stance. Before starting, ensure that the electric

chainsaw is in contact with no objects.

Never operate the device without the front cut protection. Risk of injury!

The tensioning of the saw chain is described in the "Assembly" section.

SAWING TECHNIqUES

General information

Observe noise protection rules and other local regulations when working with the tool. Local regulations may require a suitability test.

• Dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, clips and wires must be removed from the tree.
• Always stand above the tree trunk when sawing

on slopes.

• To keep total control while sawing through, reduce the pressure at the end of the cut without loosening your grip on the handles of the pruner saw. Make sure the saw chain does not touch the ground. After finishing the cut, wait until the pruner saw comes to a stop before removing it.
• Always switch off the motor of the pruner saw before changing between trees.
• You will have better control over the device if you saw using the lower edge of the blade bar (chain in pulling 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).
• For sawing work on hillsides, always stand in the area above the log. To keep total control while sawing through, reduce the pressure at the end of the cut without loosening your grip on the handles of the pruner saw. Make sure the saw chain does not touch the ground. After finishing the cut, wait until the saw chain comes to a stop before removing it. Always switch off the motor of the pruner saw before changing between trees.

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

Cut to length

Cutting to length means sawing felled tree trunks into small sections. Ensure that you have secure footing and balance your body weight evenly on both feet. If possible, the trunk should be protected and supported by branches, logs or wedges.

• Make sure that the saw chain does not touch the ground when sawing.
• Make sure you have good footing and stand above the trunk on sloping terrain. To keep total control while sawing through, reduce the pressure at the end of the cut without loosening your grip on the handles of the pruner saw. After finishing the cut, wait until the saw chain

comes to a stop before removing it. Always switch off the motor of the pruner saw before changing between trees.

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. Sawing on a sawhorse:

Hold the electric chainsaw steady with both hands, keeping the saw in front of you while sawing. 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 off 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.

• Do not remove support branches until after the sawing off.
• 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 off branches on the other side of the trunk.
• Branches sticking out are cut off separately.

5. MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off the machine and remove the battery pack from the machine.

Only use original spare parts. Allow the device to cool off before undertaking any maintenance or cleaning work. There is a danger of burns!

Use cut-protection gloves when handling the chain or the chain bar. Risk of cuts!

Cleaning

• Clean the machine thoroughly after every use. In this way, you extend the life of the machine and avoid accidents.
• Keep the gripping handles free of petrol, oil or grease. Clean the gripping 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.

Saw chain oiling

Clean and oil the chain regularly. This keeps the chain sharp and achieves optimum machine performance. Damage due to insufficient maintenance of the saw chain will invalidate the warranty.

Remove the battery and use cut-resistant gloves when working with the chain or with the blade bar.

The blade bar and chain must never be operated without oil. If the cordless pruner saw is used with too little oil, the cutting performance and lifespan of the saw chain will decrease as the chain will become blunt more quickly. You can identify when there is too little oil if smoke develops or the blade bar changes colour.

Switch off the device and remove the battery before carrying out any maintenance work.

- Oil the chain after cleaning, after 10 hours of use or at least once a week, whichever comes first.

• Before oiling, the blade bar, especially the teeth of the blade bar, must be thoroughly cleaned. Use a hand brush and a dry cloth for this purpose.

• Oil the individual chain links using an oil syringe with a needle tip (available from specialist dealers). Apply individual drops of oil on the joints and on the tooth tips of the individual chain links.

• The chain should be well-tensioned to ensure proper sharpening.

• For the sharpening, a round file with 4.0 mm diameter is necessary.

Other diameters damage the chain and can lead to danger during work!

1. Sharpen only from the inside to the outside. Guide the fi le from the inner side of the cutting teeth to the outer side. Lift the fi le when you are withdrawing it.

2. Sharpen first the teeth on one side. Turn the saw around and sharpen the teeth of the other side.

3. The chain is worn and must be replaced by a new saw chain if only approx. 4 mm of the cutting teeth is remaining.

4. After the sharpening, all cutting elements must now be equal in length and width.

5. After every third sharpening, the sharpness depth (depth limitation) must be checked and the height filed with the aid of a flat file. The depth limitation should be set back about 0.65 mm from the cutting tooth. After the setting back of depth limitation, round it off a little at the front.

Adjusting the chain tension

The adjustment of the chain tension is described in the chapter "Assembly - tensioning chainsaw".

• Switch off the device and remove the battery (14) 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 have to re-tension the chain after the first 5 cuts and no later than after 10 minutes' sawing time.

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 serious injury.

Maintaining the chain bar

Use cut-protection gloves when handling the chain or the chain bar.

1. Switch off the device and remove the battery (14) from the device.
2. Remove the sprocket chain wheel covering (9), the saw chain (12) and the chain bar (11).
3. Check the chain bar (11) for wear. Remove burrs and straighten the guide surfaces with a flat file.
4. Mount chain bar (11), chainsaw (12) and sprocket chain wheel covering (9) and tighten the saw chain.

Turning the blade bar

Use cut-resistant gloves when working with the saw chain or with the blade bar.

The blade bar (11) needs to be reversed regularly after a working time of about 10 hours in order to ensure even wear.

1. Switch off the device and remove the battery (14) from the device.
2. Remove the sprocket cover (9), saw chain (12) and blade bar (11).
3. Turn the blade bar around its horizontal axis and install the blade bar and chain as described under "Installing the saw chain and blade bar".

When doing so, pay attention to the correct rotation direction of the saw chain!

Direction of travel of saw chain

Use the graphical symbol above the chain sprocket (17) as a guide to align the saw chain (12) when the blade bar is rotated. The illustrated direction of travel on the blade bar is no longer true.
