5. 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 (cordepower tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1. Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• 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
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

• The electrical tool's connection plug must fit into the socket. The plug may not be modified in any way. Do not use an adaptor plug together with earthed electric tools. Unmodified plugs and suitable sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces, such as pipes, heaters, ovens and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.

• Keep electric tools away from rain and moisture. Water entering an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

• Do not use the cable for another purpose, for example, carrying or hanging the electric tool or pulling the plug out of the socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving device parts. Damaged or coiled cables increase the risk of an electric shock.

• If you work with an electric tool outdoors, only use extension cables that are also suitable for outdoor use. Using an extension cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
• If you cannot avoid using the electrical tool in a wet environment, use a fault-current circuit breaker. Using a fault-current circuit breaker reduces the risk of an electric shock.

3. Personal safety

• Be alert, be careful 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If dust extraction and collection devices can be mounted, make sure that they are connected and used properly. Using a dust extraction unit can reduce hazards caused by dust.

4. Power tool use and care

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

• 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.
• Treat electric tools carefully. Check whether the moving parts work perfectly and do not drag, whether not broken or damaged to such an extent that functioning of electric tools could be affected. Have any damaged parts repaired before using the machine. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• 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.
• Ensure that all handles and safety equipment are installed when using the electrical tool. Never attempt to use an incomplete electrical tool or one with an impermissible modification.
• Always familiarise yourself with your environment and pay attention to possible hazards that you may not hear due to the noise from the electrical tool.
• Avoid using the electrical tool if people, and especially children, are in the vicinity.

5. Using and treatment of cordless tools.

• Charge the batteries only in chargers recommended by the manufacturer. Risk of fire for a charger suitable only for a certain type of batteries or, as appropriate, accumulators, if used for other accumulators.
• Use only such accumulators in this electric appliance that have been designed for this appliance. Use of other accumulators may lead to injuries and risk of fire.
• Do not leave an accumulator not being used near office clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal items that could cause contact bridging. Short circuit between accumulator contacts may result in burns or fire.
• Liquid may leak from an accumulator if used improperly. Prevent contact with such liquid. Rinse an affected body part with water in case of accidental contact. If liquid gets to your eye, seek medical advice. Liquid leaking from a battery may cause skin irritation or burns.
• Observe the operating manual and the safety instructions enclosed with the rechargeable battery or charging unit.

6. Service

- Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This ensures that the safety of the device is maintained.

Safety instructions for chainsaw

Keep all parts of your body in safe distance from the saw when running. Before starting the saw, make sure the saw chain does not touch anything. A moment of inattention when working with the chainsaw is able to cause the saw chain to catch your clothes or parts of your body.

Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding the chainsaw using the opposite grip increases the risk of injuries and must be avoided.

Hold the power tools by the insulated handles as the cutting knife may come into contact with hidden cables/lines. Contact of the cutting knife with a live conductor may bring the metal parts of the appliance under voltage and cause electric shock.

Wear protective glasses and ear protectors. Further, wearing head, hand and leg protection equipment is recommended. Suitable protective clothing minimises the risk of injury by thrown-away wood chips and possible contact with the saw chain. Do not work on trees with the chainsaw. There is a risk of injury when working on a tree.

Provide safe posture at all times and use the chainsaw only when standing on a solid, safe and level surface. A slippery or unstable surface, such as ladder, may lead to loss of balance or loss of control over the chainsaw.

Do not work with this chainsaw on a tree unless you are especially trained for this. In the event of improper use of a chainsaw on a tree, there is a risk of injury.

When cutting a tense branch, be sure to know that the branch will bounce back. If tension in the wood fibres gets released, the tense branch may hit the operator and/or cause a loss of control over the chainsaw.

When cutting a tense branch, be sure to know that the branch will bounce back. If tension in the wood fibres gets released, the tense branch may hit the operator and/or cause a loss of control over the chainsaw.

Be especially careful when cutting scrubs and saplings. Thin material may get caught in the chain-saw and hit you or you may lose your balance.

Carry the chainsaw by the front handle in a switched-off condition and the saw chain must be deflected from your body. Fit a protection cover on the chainsaw whenever it is transported or stored. Careful chainsaw treatment reduces the likelihood of an accidental contact with the running saw chain.

Follow the instructions for lubrication, chain tensioning and replacing accessories. An improperly tensioned or lubricated chain can break and increase the risk of kickback.

Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery and result in a loss of control.

Only saw wood. Do not use the branch chainsaw for work for which it is not intended. Example: Do not use the branch chainsaw to saw plastic, brickwork or building materials other than wood. Using the branch chainsaw for unintended work can cause dangerous situations.

Causes and avoidance of kickback

Kickback can arise if the tip of the guide rail touches an object or if the wood bends and the saw chain jams in the cut.

Touching with the rail tip can sometimes lead to an unexpected backward reaction, whereby the guide rail whips up and in the direction of the operator. If the saw chain jams on the top edge of the guide rail, the rail can jerk back in the direction of the operator suddenly.

Each of these reactions can lead to you losing control of the saw and possibly suffering a serious injury. Never rely solely on the safety equipment integrated in the chainsaw. As the chainsaw operator, you should implement various measures to work without a risk of accidents and injuries.

Kickback is the result of incorrect or deficient use of the electrical tool. It can be prevented by suitable precautionary measures, as described in the following:

• Hold the saw firmly with both hands, with the thumbs and fingers enclosing the chainsaw handles. Bring your body and arms into a position in which you can absorb the kickback forces. If suitable measures are implemented, the operator will be able to withstand the kickback forces. Never let go of the chainsaw.
• Avoid an unusual body stance and never saw above shoulder height. This will help to avoid unintentional contact with the rail tip, and enable improved control of the chainsaw in unexpected situations.
• Always use replacement guide rails and saw chains prescribed by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement rails and saw chains may cause the chain to break and/or lead to kickback.
• Adhere to the instructions of the manufacturer

when sharpening and maintaining the chain-saw. If the depth limiter is too low, this increases the tendency towards kickback.

• During work, always hold the device tight in both hands!
• Hold the device (Fig.19):
• with the left hand on the bow-type handle.
• with the left hand on the handle.
• whilst balanced in a stable stance.

How to saw correctly!

• Scan the working area and remove any interfering objects.
• At the start of work, check that the device is safe.
• Hold the device in both hands as prescribed.
• Switch on the chainsaw before applying it to the cut.
• Exert regular pressure on the device and do not apply excessive force.
• If possible, apply the device to the branch you wish to saw with the claw stop.

ATTENTION!

If the cutting device touches a foreign body, or the operating noise intensifies, or the electrical device vibrates unusually heavily, switch off the motor and allow the electrical device to come to a halt. Remove the battery and implement the following measures:

• check for damage
• check for loose parts and fasten all parts
• replace damaged parts with equivalent parts or have them repaired.

After use

⚠️ Risk of injury!

Always switch off the motor before setting the device down! The saw chain will run on for a short time after the on/off switch is released.

• Stop the motor.
• Wait until all moving parts have come to a complete standstill.
• Remove battery.
• Place the protective sheath on the cutting unit.
• Apply chain brake.
• Leave the device to cool down.

Basic working technique

⚠️ Risk of injury!

This section examines the basic working technique for using the device. The information provided here does not replace the many years of training and experience of a specialist. Avoid any work that you are not adequately qualified for! Careless use of the device can lead to serious injuries and even death!

Sawing technique

Pull sawing (Fig. 20)

With this technique, sawing takes place with the underside of the guide bar from top to bottom.

The saw chain pulls the device forwards and away from the user. With this action, the front edge of the device forms a support, which absorbs the forces that arise on the tree trunk during sawing. With pull sawing, the user has significantly greater control over the device and is able to better avoid kickbacks. This sawing technique should therefore be used if possible.

Push sawing (Fig. 21)

With this technology, sawing takes place with the top side of the guide bar from bottom to top. The saw chain pushes the device backwards, towards the user.

⚠ WARNING!

If the guide bar tilts, the device may be jerked towards the user with great force. If the user does not balance the backward force of the saw chain with their body strength, there is a risk that only the tip of the guide bar will remain in contact with the wood and kickback will occur.

Risk of death or serious injuries!

Felling a tree

⚠️ Risk of injury!

Felling and branch removal work may only be performed by trained personnel! There is a risk of life-threatening injuries!

Fig. 22

Before starting felling work, make sure that:

• no bystanders or animals are in the felling area (A).
• a clear evacuation route, free of obstacles, is available to all participants. Withdrawal (B) takes place at an oblique angle to the felling direction.
• the area around the trunk is clear of obstacles (risk of tripping!).
• the nearest workplace is at least 2 12 trunk lengths away. Before felling, check the felling direction of the tree and make sure that no obstacles, persons or animals are within a distance of 2 12 tree lengths.

Fig. 23

Tree felling takes place in two steps:

• Saw a felling sink in the trunk of around one third of its diameter, on the side of the felling direction (1).
• On the opposite side (2) make the felling cut, which must be slightly higher than the felling sink (approx. 3–5 cm).

Risk of injury!

Never saw fully through the trunk. The area (C) serves as a "hinge" and ensures the correct felling direction. During felling, only stand to the side of the tree you intend to fell! There is a risk of life-threatening injuries!

Trunks lying flat on the ground (Fig. 24)

- Cut around halfway through the trunk, then turn it over and saw through the other side.

⚠ Damage to the device!

Ensure that the guide bar does not come into contact with the ground when sawing through a tree trunk!

Fallen trunks (Fig. 25)

We recommend supporting trunks on a sawhorse when sawing through them. If this is not possible, the trunk should be lifted with the aid of supporting boughs or with support blocks and supported.

• In area A first cut around one third of the trunk diameter from top to bottom, and then make the subsequent cut from bottom to top.
• In area B first cut around one third of the trunk diameter from bottom to top, and then saw through from the top.

⚠️ Risk of injury!

Do not saw trunks that are strained! Splitting wood or a tilted guide bar can result in serious injuries!

Removing branches (Fig. 26)

• Always work on the side opposite the respective branch.
• Start at the bottom of the branch and work up.
• Saw into the branch 10–15 cm from the branch base from bottom to top, to 1/3 of the branch diameter (1).
• Saw through the branch slightly further out from top to bottom (2).
• Perform a cut tightly against the trunk (3). Make the cut from top to bottom.
• During delimbing always saw off the branches that project freely in the air first. Only lop off support limbs once the branches have been sawn along their length.

⚠️ Risk of injury!

With branches that are supported or strained, the saw chain can wedge in the wood!

9. Cleaning and maintenance

WARNING!

Always remove the battery from the device before all work on the electrical tool. Danger of injury due to the sharp cutting teeth! Wear safety gloves.

⚠ In the interest of your safety!

Only perform the maintenance work described here yourself. All other work - in particular motor maintenance and repairs - must be performed by a qualified specialist. Unprofessional work can lead to device damage and therefore also to injuries.

Cleaning and maintenance overview

After every use

- Clean the device.

Regularly, depending on the conditions of use

• Retighten the saw chain.
- Clean guide bar oil guide groove.
- Sharpen the saw chain.
- Check the saw chain oil level, top up if necessary.

Cleaning

⚠ WARNING!

Do not use water or liquid cleaning products.

CAUTION!

Clean the device after every use.

An unclean device will lead to material damage and malfunctions.

• Use a damp cloth and a soft brush to clean the device.
• Take off the chain cover and then remove deposits on the guide rail, saw chain, chain wheel and chain cover with a soft brush.
• Keep the ventilation slots clean and free of dust.

Maintenance

Re-tightening the saw chain

The saw chain must not sag, although it should be possible to pull it 1-2 millimetres away from the guide bar in the centre of the guide bar.

• Turn the handwheel anticlockwise, sufficiently that the guide bar can be moved by hand.
• Turn the chain tensioning wheel anticlockwise, so that the chain is tensioned.
• Turn the saw chain by hand, to check it runs freely. It must glide freely in the rail.
• Tighten the handwheel for fastening the rail and chain cover.

NOTE

The tension of a new chain must be checked after a few minutes in operation, and adjusted if necessary. To do so switch the device off, remove the battery and apply the chain brake.

Cleaning the guide bar oil guide groove

• Dismantle the guide bar.
• Clean the oil guide groove of dirt with a suitable tool. Use a plastic spatula, do not use steel tools!
• Refit the guide bar.

Sharpening the saw chain

Special tools are required to sharpen the saw chain; these ensure that the chain cutting edges are sharpened at the correct angle and to the correct depth. We recommend having the saw chain sharpened by a specialist.
