GENERAL PRUNER SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the pruner saw is operating. Before you start the pruner saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating pruner saw may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
2. Always hold the pruner saw with one hand on the control handle and the other hand on the auxiliary handle (Fig. 2)
3. Hold the pruner saw by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the pruner saw "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
4. Wear eye protection. Further protective equipment for hearing, head, hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective equipment will reduce personal injury from flying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
5. Do not operate a pruner saw in a tree, on a ladder, from a rooftop, or any unstable support. Operation of a pruner saw in this manner could result in serious personal injury.
6. Always keep proper footing and operate the pruner saw only when standing on fixed, secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control of the pruner saw.

7. When cutting a branch that is under tension, be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres is released, the spring loaded branch may strike the operator and/or throw the pruner saw out of control.

8. 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.

9. Carry the pruner saw with the pruner saw switched off and away from your body. When transporting or storing the pruner saw, always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the pruner saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
10. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing the bar and chain. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
11. Cut wood only. Do not use pruner saw for purposes not intended. For example: do not use pruner saw for cutting metal, plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the pruner saw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
12. This pruner saw is not intended for tree felling. Use of the pruner saw for operations different than intended could result in serious injury to the operator or bystanders.
13. Follow all instructions when clearing jammed material, strong or servicing the pruner saw. Make sure the switch is off and the battery pack is removed.

Causes and operator prevention of kickback: (Fig. 3) 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.

Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator.

Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator. Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious personal injury.

Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw. As a pruner saw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury. Kickback is the result of pruner saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

○ Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the pruner 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 pruner saw (Fig. 2).
○ Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height unless the extension pole is mounted. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better control of the pruner saw in unexpected situations.
○ Only use replacement guide bars and saw chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement guide bars and saw chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Work without pressure. In addition, always keep your body warm.
2. Before commencing work, reflect fully on the work procedures involved and work to avoid accidents, otherwise injury may occur.

NOTE

○ The recharging time may vary according to the ambient temperature and power source voltage.

○ If charging takes a long time

• Charging will take longer at extremely low ambient temperatures. Charge the battery in a warm location (such as indoors).
• Do not block the air vent. Otherwise the interior will overheat, reducing the charger's performance.

• If the cooling fan is not operating, contact a HiKOKI Authorized Service Center for repairs.

• Disconnect the charger's power cord from the receptacle.

• Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery. NOTE

Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger after use, and then keep it.

Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries, etc.

As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and batteries that have not been used for an extended period is not activated, the electric discharge might be low when using them the first and second time. This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging will be restored by recharging the batteries 2–3 times.

How to make the batteries perform longer.

(1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely exhausted. When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery may be damaged and its life will become shorter.
(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures. A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.

INSPECTION AND PREPARATION PRIOR TO USE

Prior to use, make the following inspection and preparation.

WARNING

○ To prevent accidents, always perform steps 1 to 3 ensuring the storage battery is removed from the body.

○ Do not secure the lock-off button while it is pressed. If the switch is accidentally engaged, the unit may unexpectedly start and injury may occur.

1. Ensuring the switch is off

If you insert the storage battery without knowing whether the switch is engaged, the unit may unexpectedly start, which may result in an accident.

2. Checking the saw chain tension WARNING

If the saw chain tension is incorrect, there is a risk of damage to the saw chain or guide bar and malfunction.

O Referring to step 6 "INSTALLING (REPLACING) SAW CHAIN," ensure an appropriate tension is set.

○ While the saw chain is still new, it is particularly stretchy, so periodically check the tension and adjust as required. If it is loose, refer to “5. Installing the side cover (3)” and re-tension the saw chain.

○ Also check the knob is securely tightened.

3. Checking the chain oil

○ This unit is delivered without chain oil inside. Ensure the oil tank is filled with the chain oil provided before use. (Fig. 15)

○ Periodically check the oil sight glass during work and replenish oil as required.

○ If the chain oil supplied runs out, use HiKOKI chain oil sold separately or equivalent chain oil on the market.

O The chain oil lubricates automatically.

○ The discharge amount cannot be adjusted.

NOTE

○ The oil tank capacity is about 55 ml. Make sure no oil leaks or overflows from the oil tank when replenishing the chain oil.

○ We recommend that you stock up with chain oil. If you continue working without chain oil, the saw chain may burn through, or the motor may fail.

- Be careful to avoid dust or other foreign matter from entering the oil tank. If dust and other foreign matter enter the oil tank, the unit may fail.

○ Chain oil left in the tank may leak due to the structure of this unit. Although this does not indicate a malfunction, it may soil the storage location, so be careful. When storing, empty the oil from the oil tank, and place an item under the main body which can absorb any leaks.

○ Replenish oil about every 15 minutes of operation. (Varies depending on the conditions of cutting usage.)

4. Installing the storage battery

Push firmly until it clicks into place.

CAUTION

Securely attach the storage battery. If the storage battery is not securely attached, it may come off and injury may occur.

5. Check that the chain guard is working (Fig. 16)

The chain guard is a piece of safety equipment to protect the worker from the saw chain. Before working, confirm that the chain guard moves smoothly, and that it returns to its original position when you release your hand.

NOTE

If the chain guard does not return to its original position, immediately stop use, and request repairs from the dealer where you purchased the product.

6. Checking chain oil discharge (Fig. 17)

○ When switching the unit on, chain oil automatically lubricates the saw chain and guide bar.

○ If oil does not seem to emerge 2 to 3 minutes after the unit starts, check if any sawdust has accumulated around the oil spout. (Refer to “2. Cleaning each of the parts” in “MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION”)

CUTTING PROCEDURES

WARNING

○ During use, grip both handles securely.
During work breaks or after work, always switch the unit off, and remove the storage battery from the main body.

Always monitor the workplace and surrounding area, ensure there are no objects which could cause injuries, accidents or failure, and if any are present, remove them in advance.

In particular, when establishing a foothold for working, ensure there is no instability or any object which could be tripped over.

1. Ensuring the unit is switched off

If the storage battery is inserted while the switch is unknowingly engaged, the unit may unexpectedly start, which may result in an accident.

2. Installing the storage battery

As shown in Fig. 4, push firmly until it clicks into place.

3. Engaging the switch

Ensuring the saw chain is not in contact with the timber, engage the switch, and start cutting when the saw chain speed has increased.

Place the cutting guide against the wood when cutting.

(Fig. 18-a) If you try to cut without placing the cutting guide against the wood, the tool body will be pulled forward away from your body and destabilize your posture. (Fig. 18-b)

CAUTION

○ When switching the unit on, ensure the saw chain does not contact with material or anything else.
During use, be careful to ensure the saw chain does not contact with other material or object. In particular, when you have finished cutting, be careful to ensure it does not touch the ground.
○ Always be careful to avoid falling branches.
O Always be alert for pruning saw recoil.

NOTE

○ Refill the oil tank early to prevent the unit running out of oil.
○ While cutting, occasionally check the tension of the saw chain.
As well as carefully studying the handling instructions, ensure practical instruction in the operation of the pruning saw prior to use, or at least practice working with the pruning saw by cutting lengths of round timber on a sawing trestle.

Precaution for cutting work

For large-scale operation or non-stop work

This tool comes with an over-heat protection circuit that protects the electronic parts that control the rechargeable battery. During sustained use or during operations under high loads generated by pressure against the tool, tool temperature will rise and eventually trigger the over-heat protection circuit, which will shut down the tool.

If this happens, let the tool cool for a length of time.

When the temperature drops, it will again become possible to use the tool. When the rechargeable battery has to be exchanged during continuous operation, let the tool rest for about 15 minutes.

Gripping/pushing force of pruning saw

Always grip the pruning saw securely. In addition, do not force the pruning saw more than necessary. When cutting, additional force exerted on the pruning saw will not accelerate the cutting speed.

This will strain the motor, impair the performance, and damage or cause malfunction of the motor or guide bar.

Use the unit in the range where the saw chain is at a reasonable speed.

In particular, when the saw chain stops (becomes jammed) due to the excessive force, it may cause an injury or failure of the unit.

SHARPENING OF THE CHAIN BLADE

WARNING

To prevent accidents, always turn off the switch and remove the storage battery from the main body.

CAUTION

Always wear thick gloves when handling the saw chain.

NOTE

Sharpen the saw chain and adjust the depth gauge at the central position on the guide bar, with the saw chain attached to the main body.

When the sharpness of saw chains deteriorates, the motor and each part of the body are burdened and the efficiency declines.

For optimal performance of the unit, frequent maintenance is necessary to keep the saw chain sharp.

1. Blade sharpening

Use a 4 mm diameter round file.

The round file should be held against the chain blade so that one-fifth of its diameter extends above the top of the blade, as shown in Fig. 20.

Sharpen the blades by keeping the round file at a 30^ angle in relation to the guide bar, as shown in Fig. 21.

File the blades by gently pushing the round file in the direction of the grip.

Make sure the round file does not touch the saw chain when drawing back the file.

Ensure that all saw blades are filed at the same angle, or the cutting efficiency of the tool will be impaired.

Appropriate angles for sharpening the blades correctly are shown in Fig. 22. (Round file is sold separately.)

2. Adjustment of depth gauge

WARNING

○ Do not sand the top part of the bumper tie strap and bumper drive link, nor cause the shape of said parts to deform.
○ Adjustment of depth gauges must be in line with the predetermined dimensions and shapes, otherwise the risk of kickback may increase, causing an injury.

Bumper tie strap

Bumper drive link

Depth gauges shall be all lined up in the same manner because they are used to adjust depth at the position where the cutter inlays into the wood.

When sharpening the saw chain, be sure to check the depth gauge every two or three times. (Fig. 23)

Place a depth gauge jointer on the saw chain, leave the gauge visible at the groove, and use a flat file to bevel the portion out of the depth gauge jointer. (Fig. 24) (Depth gauge jointer and flat file are sold separately.)

After filing away the depth gauge, round off the front side of the depth gauge as it was. (Fig. 25)

After sharpening the saw chain, place it into chain oil to wash off the filings.

If filings are not cleaned off, the saw chain and guide bar will quickly wear while in use.

The depth gauge jointer can also be used when dressing with a round file. (Fig. 26)
