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.

7. Before starting the equipment

Caution! Do not fit the battery until the equipment has been fully assembled and all the settings have been actuated. Always wear protective gloves when working on the equipment to protect yourself against injury. Carefully unpack all parts and check that they are complete.

Assembly

Fitting the chain saw mounting kit (for use as a pole-operated pruner)

Assembly of the cutter rail and the saw chain

• Undo the fixing screw (17) of the chain wheel cover (Fig. 2).
  • Take off the chain wheel cover (18). (Fig. 3)
• Lay the chain as shown in the groove which runs around the cutter rail (Fig. 4/Item 19).
• Insert the cutter rail and chain as shown in the mounting in the chainsaw (Fig. 5).
• At the same time guide the chain around the chain wheel (Fig. 5/Item 20).
• Attach the chain wheel cover (Fig. 6/Item 18) and fasten it hand-tight with the fastening screw.
• Do not fully tighten the fastening screw until after you have adjusted the chain tension.

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 (18) of the chain wheel cover a few turns (Fig. 6).
• Adjust the chain tension with the chain tensioning screw (Fig. 7/Item 21). Turning the screw clockwise increases the chain tension, turning it counterclockwise decreases the chain tension. The saw chain is correctly tensioned if it can be lifted approx. 2mm in the middle of the cutter rail (Fig. 8).
• Secure the fixing screw (18) of the chain wheel cover (Fig. 6).

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 finished working slacken the chain again, as the chain will shorten when it cools down. This will prevent the chain from being damaged.

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 conditions: different lubricants with completely different viscosities are required at different ambient temperatures. At lower temperatures you will need low viscosity oils in order to achieve a sufficient lubricating film. 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 film 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. 9):

• Place the chainsaw on a flat surface.
• Clean the area around the oil tank cover (Item 23) and then clean the oil tank cover.
• Fill the tank (Item 22) 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 23).

After the chain saw mounting kit has been fitted and when the equipment is not being used, slip the cutter guard (Fig. 1/Item 13) over the mounted cutter bar with saw chain in order to prevent injuries.

Mounting telescopic tube and attachment (Fig. 10)

• Insert the telescopic pipe (8) into the pipe (24) (Fig. 10); pay attention to the groove and spring position (Fig. 10.1). Screw the locking mechanism (7/9) (Fig. 10.1) to affix the extension or the attachment.
  The desired attachment can also be mounted without telescopic tube. see Fig. 10.1

Using the shoulder strap

Warning! Always use the shoulder strap when working with the equipment. Switch off the equipment before you take off the shoulder strap (risk of injury).

1. Hook the carabiner (5) into the strap holder (25). (Fig. 11)
2. Slip the shoulder strap over your shoulder. (Fig. 11.1)
3. Adjust the length of the shoulder strap so that the strap attachment is at waist level.

Fitting the battery (Fig. 12)

Press the side pushlock button (26) of the battery pack and push the battery pack into the mount provided. When the battery pack is positioned as in Fig. 12, make sure that the pushlock button latches in place! To remove the battery pack, proceed in reverse order.

Charging the battery (Fig. 13)

By pressing the red button on the battery, status can be read based on the green lights.

1. Take the battery pack out of the equipment.

2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Insert the power plug of the charger (16) into the mains socket outlet. The light on the power cord turns green.

3. Insert the battery into the charger. Green flashing of light on the charger indicates that the battery is in charging mode.

4. Depending on the battery charge status lights either

1, 2 or 3 green lights on the battery.

1 green light: battery 1/3 charged

2 green light: Battery 2/3 charged

3 green LED: Battery is fully charged

The battery pack can become a little warm during the charging. This is normal. If the battery pack fails to charge, check:

• whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
• whether there is good contact at the charging contacts.

If the battery pack still fails to charge, send

- the charging unit

• and the battery pack

to our customer service center.

To ensure that the battery pack provides long service, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the power of the cordless equipment drops. Never fully discharge the battery pack. This will cause it to develop a defect.

8. Operation

Please note that the statutory regulations governing noise abatement may differ from one location to another.

Caution! Always use the shoulder strap when working with the equipment. Always switch off the equipment before you take off the shoulder strap. Otherwise there is a risk of injury.

Put on the shoulder strap as described above, fi t the required mounting kit and adjust the equipment to suit your needs. Ensure that the electrical tool is properly in the prescribed working position before starting the motor.

ATTENTION!

Do not use the electrical tool's attachments with a faulty or heavily worn cutting unit.

Switching on/off

Switching on

• Hold the equipment by the handles with both hands
• Push Safety lock-off (Fig. 14 / Item 4).
• Switch on the equipment with the On/Off switch (Fig. 14/Item 3).
• You can then release the safety lock-off.

Switching off

Release the On/Off switch (Fig. 3/Item 3).

ATTENTION!

If the cutting unit touches a foreign object, the operating noises get louder or the electrical device vibrates unusually excessively, stop the motor and allow the electrical device to come to a standstill. Remove the rechargeable battery and take the following measures:

• Check for damage
• Check for loose parts and secure all loose parts
• Replace damaged parts with similar parts or have them repaired.

Working with the hedge trimmer mounting kit

• Check that the cutters work properly. The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite directions, thus guaranteeing high cutting performance 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.

Adjust inclination of the motor housing (Fig. 15)

- Press the two locking knobs (27) and adjust the incline of the motor housing in a latching steps.

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.
• The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite directions, thus enabling cutting in both directions.
• 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.
• Cut the sides of the hedge with curve-shaped movements from the bottom up.

The right time to cut:

Leaf hedge: June and October

Conifer hedge: April and August

Fast growing hedge: around every 6 weeks from May

Pay attention to nesting birds in the hedge. Delay the hedge cut or leave this area out if this is the case.

Working with the chainsaw mounting kit

Preparations

To ensure that you can work safely, check the following 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 sufficient 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 filling 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 elements. The sharper the chainsaw, the easier and more controllable it is to operate the chainsaw. 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-fitting 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 offer 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 branches under tension and splintered wood.
• Possible risk of injury caused by falling branches 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 balance.

Cutting techniques

• When removing branches, hold the equipment at an angle of max. 60^ to the horizontal to avoid being hit by a falling branch (Fig. 15.1).
• 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

Sawing off smaller branches (Fig. 16):

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. 17):

Carry out a relief cut when working on larger branches. Start by sawing through 1/3 of the branch diameter (a) from the bottom to the top with the top side of the cutter rail. Then saw towards the first 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 upward 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 suddenly 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 effect is greatest there. It is therefore safest to position the saw as flat 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 uncontrollably. 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.

9. Cleaning and maintenance

Danger!

Remove the battery pack before doing any cleaning and maintenance work.

Cleaning

• 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 liquid.
• If the chainsaw is not to be used for an extended 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 safety 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 attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

Maintenance

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 described 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 order to guard against overheating and the associated 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 "Troubleshooting". If the information contained there still fails to remedy the situation then please contact our service department or another similarly qualified 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

Effective working with the chainsaw is only possible 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.
