5. Important information

⚠️ CAUTION: Read all safety regulations and instructions. Any failures made in following the safety regulations and instructions may result in an electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a safe place for future use.

The term “electric tool” used in the safety instructions refers to electric tools operated from the mains power supply (with a power cable) and to battery operated electric tools (without a power cable).

Electrical safety

- The connector plug from this electric tool must fit into the socket. The plug should never be altered in any way. Never use adapter plugs together with earthed electric tools. Unaltered plugs and correct sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock.

• Avoid bodily contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heating, ovens and fridges. The risk of electric shock is increased if your body is earthed.
• Keep the tool out of the rain and away from moisture. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

- Do not use the cable to carry the electric tool, to hang it up or to pull it out of the socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts of the appliance. Damaged or entangled cables increase the risk of an electric shock.

• If you are working outdoors with an electric tool, only use extension cables which are designed specifically for this purpose. Using specially designed outdoor extension cables, the risk of electric shock is reduced.

• If operation of the electric tool in a damp environment can not be avoided, use a earthleakage circuit-breaker. The earth-leakage circuit-breaker reduces the risk of an electric shock.

• Keep cables clear of where you are cutting.

• Before you use the hedge trimmer, examine the power cable for signs of damage and aging.
• Use the hedge trimmer only when the power cable is in good working order.
• Do not remove the power plug from the socketoutlet by pulling on the cable. Never carry the tool by its cable. Take care not to damage the cable in any way.

• Protect cables from heat, caustic fluids and sharp edges. Replace damaged cables immediately.

• If the blades become jammed, e.g. due to thick branches or the like, switch off and unplug the hedge trimmer immediately. Only then are you to remove the cause of the obstruction.

• Use only cables and connectors approved for outdoor use:

• power cable HO7RN-F 2x1.0 with integral two-plug plug;

• extension cable HO7RN-F 3G1.5 with rainwater- protected earthing-pin plug and earthing-contact coupling.

- The use of a leakage-current or earth-leakage circuit-breaker is recommended for operating electric tools. Ask your electrician!

Warning! This electric tool generates an electromagnetic field during operation. This field can impair active or passive medical implants under certain conditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with medical implants consult with their physician and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operating the electric tool.

• Note the alignment of the chain teeth (Fig. 31). Insert the cutter bar as shown in Fig. 31 into the mount at the gear unit.
• Place the chain round the chain wheel (Item H). Make sure that the teeth of the chain engage securely in the chain wheel.

The cutter bar must be hooked into the chain tensioning bolt (Item G).

• Fit the chain wheel cover

Important! Do not fully tighten the fastening screw until after you have adjusted the chain tension (see section 7.1).

7.1 Tensioning the chain (Fig. 33-35)

• Undo the fastening screw (Item I) of the chain wheel cover by a few turns (Fig. 32).
• Adjust the chain tension with the chain tensioning screw (Fig. 34/ Item K). Turning the screw clockwise increases the chain tension, turning it counterclockwise decreases the chain tension. The chain is correctly tensioned if it can be raised by around 2 mm in the middle of the cutter bar (Fig. 33).
• Tighten the fixing screw of the chain wheel cover (Fig. 35).
• Important! All the chain links must lie properly in the guide groove of the cutter bar.

Notes on tensioning the chain:

The chain must be properly tensioned to ensure safe operation. When the saw chain can be raised by around 2 mm in the middle of the cutter bar, you know that the chain tension is ideal.

During cutting, the temperature of the chain rises and its length changes. It is important therefore to check the chain tension at least every 10 minutes and to adjust it again as required. This applies in particular to new saw chains.

When you have fi nished working, slacken the chain again as it will shorten when it cools down. This will help to prevent damage to the chain.

8. Start on the unit

Do not start the unit until it has been completely assembled.

⚠ Danger of injury!

• Always work with high speed so you have the best cutting results.
• Caution: Always be extra careful when working in difficult terrain and slopes. Cut tall grass gradually so as not to overload the unit.
  • Always wear safety glasses and hearing protection and a safety helmet.

Mowing with grass trimmer

• Use the plastic line cassette for a clean cut also at uneven edges, fencing posts, and trees.
• Carefully advance the trimming line to an obstacle, and use the tip of the line to cut around the obstacle. When the trimming line comes into contact with stones, trees, and walls, the line wears out or breaks off ahead of time.
• Swing the cutting blade like a normal scythe horizontally from right to left and back again. You define the cutting height depending on how high you are holding the tool.
• Never replace the nylon line with a metal wire. RISK OF INJURIES

Automatic thread trimming (Fig. 24)

The cutting blade is delivered with a filled line cassette. This line will wear out during work. To feed new line, forcefully press the head of the line cassette onto the ground while the engine is running at working speed. The line is automatically fed due to centrifugal force. The knife at the line guard will shorten the trimming line to the correct length. Run the trim line approach cautiously to an obstacle and cut with the tip of the line around the obstacle.

Mowing with brush cutter and hedge trimmer

Use the cutting blade to comb through brushwood, rank growth, young tree populations (trunk diameter of maximum 2 cm), and high grass.

• The maximal diameter to cut depends on the wood's type, age, moisture and hardness.
• Therefore cut very thick branches using branch shears to your desired length before trimming the hedge.
• While using metal cutting tools, there is generally a risk of recoil, when the tool hits a solid obstacle (stones, trees, branches, etc.). Thereby, the tool is hurled backwards against the rotating direction.

• Cut the hedge in trapezium shape.

• Stretch a guide over the complete length of the hedge when you want to shorten the upper edge of the hedge evenly.

• Trim in several passes if you have to cut down a large portion of the hedge.
• To cut rank growth and brushwood, you "immerse" the cutting blade from the top.

Best time for hedge trimming:

• Leaved hedge: June and October
• Conifer hedge: April and August
- Quickly growing hedge: from May and then every 6 weeks

Pay attention to breeding birds in the hedge. If so, put off hedge trimming or leave this area out.

Angle adjustment

By swivelling the cutter head, the hedge trimmer can be adjusted to the working conditions from +90° to -75°. Fig. 29.

• Warning! Adjust the angle only when the motor has been turned off.
• Push both levers down and put the cutter head in the required position. Fig. 29
• Release both levers until they click into place in the notch.
• Before use, check that the adjustment levers have clicked into place properly. Fig. 29

Oil the blades and the angle adjustment each time before starting work, with environmentally friendly lubricant.

Regularly oil the blades during working hours as well. Warning! Oil the tool only when the motor has been turned off.

CAUTION: Be especially careful, when using this working technique, because the further away the cutting tool is from the ground, the higher is the risk that objects to be cut and particles will be hurled sideways.

CAUTION: Incorrect use and misuse can damage the bush cutter and cause severe injuries because of pieces hurled away.

To minimize the risk of accidents by use of the cutting blade, take note of following points:

• Never cut shrubbery or wood whose diameter is larger than 2 cm.
• Avoid contact with metal bodies, stones, etc.
• Periodically check the cutting blade for damages. Never continue to use a damaged cutting blade.
• When the cutting blade becomes apparently blunt, it must be sharpened according to instructions. When the cutting blade is apparently out of balance, it must be replaced.

Working with pole saw

Oiling of the chain and bar

It is recommended to use commercial chain oil.

Remove the oil tank cap. (Fig.34 / L)

Fill the chain oil tank (Fig.34 / M) to 80% with chain oil.

Close Oil tank cap (Fig.34 / L)

Oil Supply Control

Always make sure that the automatic oil system is working properly. Always ensure the oil tank is full. During sawing work, the guide and the chain must always be sufficiently oiled to reduce friction with the chain bar.

The chain bar and the chain must never be without oil. If you operate the chain dry or with too little oil, the cutting performance will decrease, the service life of the chain bar will reduce, the chain will become blunt quickly and the guide will wear rapidly owing to overheating. You can detect a lack of oil from smoke development or the guide changing colour.

To check the chain lubrication keep the chain on a piece of paper and give full throttle for a few seconds.

On the paper the quantity of oil can be checked. The saw chain must always throw off a little oil. After a few seconds, a slight oil trace must be visible.

Make sure that there is always enough oil in the tank because chain lubrication is always on.

Automatic chain lubrication - Settings possible! Fine adjustment, Fig. 36

You can reduce or increase the quantity of oil using the screw (R).

Clockwise - oil quantity is reduced (-)

Anti-clockwise - oil quantity is increased (+)

Precautions for Saw procedure

Never stand under the branch you want to saw. Use special caution when working with branches under tension and splintering wood. Possible risk of injury caused by falling branches and catapulting pieces of wood. In general, it is recommended to set the pruning saw at an angle of 60^ to the road.

Keep both hands well with the device during the cutting process and pay you up to an equilibrium position and a good level.

• Never try to use your tool with one hand. The loss of control of your tool can cause serious injury or death. Never work on a ladder, a tree branch or other unstable surfaces.
• Never cut with the upper edge or the tip of the cutter bar.
• Make sure that the chain tension is always correctly adjusted.
• Practice for guiding the device slight pressure, but you do not overload the motor.

Clear the work area before cutting interfering branches and undergrowth. Then you create a retreat area, far from the spot where the cut branches fall on, and remove any obstacles there. Keep the work area clean, remove the cut branches immediately. Pay attention to your point, wind direction and the possible direction of fall of the branches. Be prepared that fallen branches can strike back.

Place all other tools and equipment at a safe distance from the branches to be cut, but not in the retreat area.

Always observe the condition of the tree.

Look for rot and decay in the roots and branches. If they are rotten inside, they can break off and fall down unexpectedly during cutting.

You could also attend by fractured and dead branches out, which is solved by the shake and fall on you. For very thick or heavy branches you first make a small incision below the branch before you work from the top down to avoid chipping.

Basic cutting technique

Heavy branches break off easily when sawing. They tear long strips of bark away from the trunk, which damages the tree sustainably. The following section technique can significantly reduce this risk:

• Saw the first branch about 10 cm from the trunk.
• Put in about 15 cm from the base of the top of a further section.
• Saw until the branch breaks. The risk of injury on the trunk is no.
• Finally, remove with a clean cut from the top of the trunk along the remaining.
• Thus, the damage to the tree are kept as low as possible, we recommend the interface additionally to seal with grafting wax.

Hazards by reactive forces

Reactive forces occur during operation of the saw chain. The forces which are applied to the wood are against the operator. They occur when the moving chain comes into contact with a fixed object such as a branch or is pinched. These forces can lead to a loss of control and injury.

Understanding the origin of these forces can help you to avoid the scare and the loss of control. This saw is designed to make the return effects are not as noticeable as with traditional chainsaws.

Always still keep a firm grip and a good level to maintain control of the tool in doubt.

The most common effects are:

• setback
• recoil,
• retreat

Kickback

The setback can occur when the moving saw chain meets at the upper quarter of the guide rail on a solid object or is pinched.

The cutting force exerted on the chain from the saw, a rotational force in the opposite direction to the chain travel. This leads to an upward movement of the guide rail.

Avoid kickback

The best protection is to avoid situations that lead to setbacks.

1. Keep the position of the upper guide rail always in mind.
2. Leave this place never come into contact with an object. Cut anything with it. Be especially careful near wire fences and cutting small, hard knots, in which the chain can easily pinch.
3. Cut only one branch at a time.

Withdrawal

The withdrawal occurs when the chain on the underside of the bar suddenly stuck because it is jammed or encounters a foreign object in the wood. The chain then pulls the saw forward. The withdrawal often happens when the chain is not running at full speed when in contact with the wood.

Avoid withdrawal

Be aware of the forces and situations that can lead to jamming of the chain on the underside of the bar.

Always start with running at full speed chain to cut.

Recoil

The recoil occurs when the chain on top of rail suddenly stuck because it is jammed or encounters a foreign object in the wood. The chain can jerkily hold the saw against the operator. Rebounds happen often if the top rail is used for cutting.

Avoid recoil

Be aware of the forces and situations that can lead to jamming of the chain on top of rail.

Do not cut more than one branch at a time.

Do not tilt the rail to the side when you pull them out of a cutting gap, since the chain could get caught otherwise.

10. Maintenance

NJURY WARNING!

Before working on the device, disconnect the mains cable from the socket.

Always wear protective gloves when working on or around cutting tools.

For non-use, transport or storage always attach the transport guard to all cutting tools. Fig. 1 (14a, 15a, 17c)

1. Do not spray the unit with water. It damages the engine.
2. Clean the unit with a cloth, hand brush, etc.
3. Use a moist piece of cloth to clean the plastic parts. Do not use any cleaning agents, solvents, or sharp objects.
4. During the course of work, wet grass and weed wraps around the drive shaft below the cutting guard for technical reasons. Remove this, otherwise the engine will overheat because of too much friction.

Regular checks

Keep in mind that following specifications relate to normal usage. Owing to circumstances (longer periods of daily work, severe dust exposure, etc.), the specified intervals will become correspondingly shorter.

• Before starting work, after impact or dropping: Check the cutting tools for secure seating, general visual check for cracks and damage.
  Immediately replace damaged or blunt cutting tools, even in the event of minor hairline cracks. Sharpen cutting tools (also when required).

• Weekly inspection: Lubrication of gear (also, if necessary).

- If necessary: Retighten accessible fastening screws and nuts. You will avoid excessive wear and tear and damages of the tool, when you follow the instructions in this manual.

Replacing the line spool/cutting line Fig. 18-23

1. Pull off the line guard cap from the line spool (5) by forcefully pressing between the retaining plates.
2. Remove the spool with line remaining and the compression spring.
3. Remove the used up spool.
4. Take the new line spool and pull out 10 cm at both lines each.
5. Now, place the line spool (5) on the tapered spring, and guide both lines each through the round metal lugs at the line spool housing.
6. Then place the spool cover on the new line spool (5). Turn it so that the plates of the spool cover are pushed with the springs in the line spool housing.
7. Now, press the spool cover together with the line spool, until it engages in the line spool housing.
8. The knife (A) in the protective hood (18) shortens the trimming line to the correct length, when the engine starts again.

Grinding the safety hood blade

The safety hood blade can become blunt over time.

• When you notice this, undo the screw holding the safety hood blade on the safety hood.
• Clamp the blade in a vise.
• Sharpen the blade with a flat file and make sure that the angle of the cutting edge is not altered in the process ( 25^ ). File in one direction only.

Replacing and resharpening the cutting blade at the end of the mowing season always resharpen the cutting blade or, if required, replace the cutting blade with a new one.

Unbalanced blades will cause the brush cutter to vibrate violently-risk of accident!

Lubricate angle transmission

Lubricate with lithium-based grease. Remove the screw and put in the grease, turning the shaft manually until grease emerges, then replace the screw.

Attention! Fill only a small amount of grease. Do not overfill.

Care of the guide rail

Turn the rail around every time you have the chain sharpened or replaced. This will avoid a one-sided wear of the rail, especially at the top and bottom.

Regularly clean

Servicing and sharpening of saw chain

The correct sharpened chain

Working effectively with the chainsaw is only possible if the chain is in good condition and sharp. This also reduces the risk of kickback. The chain can be re-sharpened by any dealer. Do not attempt to sharpen the chain yourself unless you have the necessary special tools and experience. A properly sharpened chain goes way through the wood and it requires very little pressure. Do not work with a dull or damaged chain. It increases physical exertion, increase the vibrations and leads to unsatisfactory results and higher wear.

• Clean the chain.
• Check it.
• Replace damaged or worn parts with matching spare parts they are in the shape and size of the original parts as necessary.
• Sharpening a chain should be performed only by experienced users! Notice. Below the angle and dimensions If the chain is not properly sharpened or the depth is too small, there is a higher risk of reversion effects and resulting injuries! The chain cannot be fixed on the guide rail. It is therefore best to remove the chain from the rail and then sharpen.
• Select the appropriate tools for the chain pitch sharpening tool. See “Specifications” for the allowed chain pitches.

The chain pitch (for example 3/8 " ) is highlighted in the depth of each blade. Use only special files for chainsaws! Other files have the wrong shape and the wrong cut. Select the file according to the diameter of your chain pitch. Make sure to observe the following angle when sharpening the chain diameter.

A B

A = filing angle

B = the angle of the side plate

The angle must also be maintained for all knives.

For irregular angles, the chain is run irregularly, wear quickly and break down prematurely.

Since these requirements can only be met with sufficient and regular exercise:

• A File Holder must be used when sharpening the saw chain by hand. The correct filing angle marked on it.
• Hold the file horizontally (at a right angle to the guide rail) and file according to the angle mark on the file holder. Support the file holder on the top plate and depth gauge.
• File down. The knife is always from the inside to the outside
• The file sharpens only in forward motion. Lift it off in the backward motion.
• Do not touch the dynamic links with the file.
• Turn the file regularly continue to avoid a onesided wear.
• Remove to remove a piece of hard wood, bones raw edges.

All knives must have the same length, otherwise they will also vary. As a result, the chain is irregular and it increases the risk of going broke.

Check the hedge trimmer for obvious faults such as:

• loose attachments
• worn or damaged components
  – bent, broken or damaged cutting tools
  – correctly attached and working covers and safety devices
• wear, in particular, cutting tool play

Immediately replace damaged or blunt cutting tools, even in the event of minor damage.

Oiling the gears

Oil the gears every 10 to 20 operating hours.

1 Position the grease gun at the lubricating nipples (10).
2 Insert some grease.

Oil the cutting tools and the angle adjustment with environmentally friendly lubricant.
