Safety instructions for petrol chainsaws

Attention! Read the following safety information to prevent personal injury and damage to property.

General Information

- This appliance must not be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

- Pay attention to noise protection and local regulations when working in the forest with chainsaws. Local regulations may require a suitability test. Check with the forestry administration.

- Do not use the chainsaw when you are tired or ill or after taking alcohol, tablets or drugs. Always have a break on time.

- Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not intended. For example: do not use chain saw for cutting metal, plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the chain saw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Preparation

- When working, always wear suitable work clothes that allow freedom of movement. This includes a hard hat, hearing protection, safety goggles or face protection, hand protection and cut pro-

tection: Leg protection and non-slip foot protection.

• Dust may be generated when sawing dry wood. Wear a suitable dust mask.
• Ensure that the handles are dry and clean when working.
• Do not work with a damaged or incomplete chainsaw or one which has been converted without the permission of the manufacturer. Never use the chainsaw with defective protective equipment. Before use, check the safety status of the chainsaw, in particular the blade bar and the chain.
• Do not start the chainsaw in a closed or poorly ventilated area as there is a risk of inhaling engine exhaust fumes.
• Never start the chainsaw before the blade bar, saw chain and sprocket cover are fitted correctly.

Operation

• Please make sure that no other persons or animals are present in your work area.
• Only start when the working area is free of obstacles and you have planned a retreat path from the falling tree.
• Always hold the chain saw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done.
• Hold the chain 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 chain saw "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when standing on fixed, secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain saw.
• When lubricating the chain, a light trace of oil forms due to the escaping oil. Pay attention to the wind direction and do not expose yourself unnecessarily to such lubricating oil mist.
• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chain saw is operating. Before you start the chain

saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating chain saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.

• Never work one-handed or above shoulder height.
• Prolonged use of the device can lead to blood circulation disorders in the hands caused by vibration (Raynaud's syndrome). Change your working position regularly. However, you can extend the duration of use by wearing suitable gloves or taking regular breaks. Please ensure that if you are susceptible to poor circulation, low outside temperatures or strong gripping forces while working, this may reduce the length of time for which you are able to work.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres is released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the chain saw out of control.
• 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.
• Switch off the engine and wait until the saw chain has come to a standstill before setting the chainsaw down.

Cleaning, maintenance and storage

• Follow the maintenance, control and service instructions in these operating instructions carefully.
• All maintenance work not mentioned in these instructions may only be performed by our service centre for chainsaws.
• Follow all instructions when clearing the chainsaw of accumulated material, storing or performing maintenance. Make sure that the engine is switched off and secured against accidental switching on. Unexpected operation of the chainsaw when removing accumulated material or during maintenance can result in serious injury.
• Only use accessory parts which are recommended in this manual.
• Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw switched off and away from your body. When transport-

ing or storing the chain saw, always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.

• Store the chainsaw and fuel safely and out of reach of children. Ensure there is no risk of any leaking fuel or vapours coming into contact with sparks or open flames. Electrical appliances, for example, can be a source of sparks.
• Use suitable, permissible containers for storing the fuel. Empty the fuel and chain oil tanks when storing or transporting the chainsaw for long periods. Have old operating materials disposed of properly.

Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback

Two diagrams showing a mechanical component (a) and a lever mechanism (b), both without any text or symbols.

• 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 (Fig. b).
• Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator (Fig. a).
• 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 chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

Kickback is the result of chain 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 chain saw handles, with both hands on the saw and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Kick-

back forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.

- Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better control of the chain 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.

Residual risks

There will always be residual risks even if you operate this device according to the instructions. The following hazards may occur in connection with the type and design of this device:

• Hearing damage if suitable ear protection is not worn.
• Health injuries resulting from the effect of hand/arm vibration in the event that the tool is used over a longer period of time or is not used and maintained properly.
• Cutting injuries

WARNING! Danger due to electromagnetic field generated while the tool is in operation. Under certain circumstances, this field may negatively affect active or passive medical implants. In order to reduce the danger of serious or fatal injuries, we recommend that individuals who wear medical implants should consult their doctor and the manufacturer of the implant before operating the tool.

Preparation

⚠ WARNING! Risk of injury due to unintentional start-up. Only insert the battery into the device once the device is fully prepared for use. Do not start the motor until the device is fully prepared for use.

Sawing techniques

⚠ WARNING! Risk of injury! If the saw chain is jammed, do not try to pull the chainsaw out by force. Switch off the motor and use a lever arm or wedge to release the chainsaw.

- Always stand above the tree trunk when sawing on slopes.

- Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, clips and wires from the tree.

- The saw chain must not touch the ground or any object while sawing through the material or thereafter.

- You will have better control over the device if you saw using the lower edge of the blade bar (saw chain in pulling direction) and not using the upper edge of the blade bar (saw chain in pushing direction).

- Ensure that the saw chain does not get stuck while sawing. The log must not break or splinter.

- Please observe the precautionary measures to protect against kickback (Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback, p. 38)

- Reduce the contact pressure towards the end of the cut without loosening the firm grip on the chainsaw handles in order to maintain full control at the moment of ‘sawing through’.

- The chainsaw may slip unexpectedly while cutting. This happens in particular when the guide bar cannot find a firm grip on round, smooth, or hard surfaces, or when sawing with the tip of the guide bar.? Always hold the saw firmly with both hands, stand securely, and avoid using only the tip of the guide bar.

- After completing the cut, wait until the chainsaw has come to a standstill before removing it.

- Always switch off the chainsaw motor before moving from tree to tree.

Felling trees

NOTICE! There is a sight line/felling direction indicator (48) on the device. Position the chainsaw on the tree (Fig. Q). The sight line/felling direction indicator (48) shows the felling direction. Set the felling notch and felling cut as described below.

WARNING! A lot of experience is needed to fell trees. Only fell trees if you know how to use the chainsaw safely. Never use the chainsaw if you feel unsafe.
CAUTION! Do not cut down a tree if there is a strong or changing wind, if there is a risk of damage to property or if the tree could hit power lines. When felling trees, ensure that no other persons are subject to hazards and that no material damage is caused. If a tree should come into contact with a power line, the supply company must be informed immediately.
⚠️ CAUTION! For safety reasons, we advise inexperienced users against felling a tree trunk with a blade bar length that is smaller than the trunk diameter.

• Please make sure that no other persons or animals are present in your work area. The safety distance between the tree to be felled and the nearest workplace must be 2 ½ tree lengths.
• Pay attention to the felling direction. The user must be able to move around safely near the felled tree so that he can cut the tree to size and cut off all branches easily. The falling tree must be prevented from becoming entangled in another tree.
• Please note that the natural falling direction depends on the pitch and crookedness of the tree trunk, the wind direction, position of larger branches and the number of branches.
• Stay above the tree to be felled when sawing on a slope. The tree will probably roll or slide downhill after felling.
• Small trees with a diameter of 15-18 cm can usually be sawn off with one cut.
• For trees with a larger diameter, notch cuts and a felling cut must be applied (Fig. K).
• If cutting and felling is being carried out by two or more persons simultaneously, the distance between the felling and cutting persons must be at least twice the height of the tree to be felled.

Fold up the hearing protection immediately after finishing the sawing process so that you can hear sounds and warning signals.

Procedure

1. Limbing (Fig. I)

Remove branches hanging downwards by sawing from the top of the branch. Never saw off branches higher than shoulder height.

2. Escape area (Fig. J)

Remove the undergrowth around the tree to ensure an easy retreat. The escape area (1) should be offset by about 45^ behind the planned felling direction (2).

3. Cut drop notch (A) (Fig. K)

Place a drop notch in the direction in which you want the tree to fall. Start with the lower, horizontal cut. The cutting depth should be about 1/3 of the trunk diameter. Now make an oblique saw cut with a cutting angle of approximately 45^ from above, which meets the lower saw cut exactly. This prevents the saw chain or guide rail from jamming when the second notch cut is made.

⚠ WARNING! Never step in front of a tree that is notched.

4. Felling cut (B) (Fig. K)

Make the felling cut from the other side of the trunk. Stand to the left of the tree trunk and saw with the saw chain pulling (with the underside of the blade bar). The felling cut must be at least 5 cm above the horizontal notch section. It should be deep enough so that the distance to the notch cutting line is at least 1/10 of the trunk diameter. The part of the log that has not been sawn through is called the hinge (felling bar). The hinge prevents the tree from turning and falling in the wrong direction. Do not cut through this hinge. When the felling cut nears the hinge, the tree should begin to fall. If it becomes apparent that the tree will not fall in the desired direction or if it bends back, and if the saw chain is stuck, discontinue the felling cut. Use wooden, plastic or aluminium wedges to open the cut and fell the tree to fall into the desired fall line.

1. Slide a cutting wedge into the felling cut as soon as the cutting depth so permits, in order to prevent the blade bar from getting jammed (Fig. L).

2. If the trunk diameter is greater than the length of the blade bar, make two cuts (Fig. M).

3. Once the felling cut has been made, the tree falls by itself or with the help of the felling wedge.

⚠ WARNING! As soon as the tree starts to fall, pull the chainsaw out of the cut, stop the engine, put the chainsaw down and leave the workplace via the retreat path. Pay attention to falling branches and do not stumble.

Limbing

Limbing is the term for removing branches and twigs from a felled tree.

⚠️ CAUTION! Risk of injury! Never saw off branches when you are standing on the tree trunk. Keep an eye on the kickback area when branches are under tension.

(Fig. I)

• Only remove support branches after cutting to length.
• Saw branches under tension from the bottom upwards to prevent the tool from jamming.
• Use the same technique as for Cutting to length, p. 45 when sawing off thicker branches.
• Work to the left of the trunk and as close as possible to the tool. If possible, the weight of the tool should rest on the trunk.
• Change location to saw off branches beyond the trunk.
• Cut branched branches to length individually. Leave larger branches pointing downwards and supporting the tree for the time being.
• Separate smaller branches with one cut.

Cutting to length

Cutting to length means sawing felled tree trunks into small sections.

• Ensure that you have a secure footing and balance your body weight evenly on both feet.
• Support the trunk if possible. The trunk should be underpinned and supported by branches, beams or wedges.
  • Make sure that the saw chain does not touch the ground when sawing.
• Stand above the trunk on sloping terrain.

Fitting the cutting aid

(Fig. D)

1. Unscrew the front nut (17) of the sprocket cover using the combination tool (25) ⬆.
2. Attach the adapter nut (42) of the cutting aid to the blade bar bolt (33).
3. Tighten the adapter nut (42) with the combination tool (25) ⬇.
4. Pull the quick connector (41) backwards and push the cutting rod (39) onto the adapter nut (42).
5. Release the quick connector (41).
6. Check that the quick connector (41) is firmly seated with the adapter nut (42).

Sawing with the cutting aid

• Only use on delimbed logs lying horizontally on the ground.
• Pay attention to the length of the log and to forces that could close the previous cutting gap and pinch the end plate (40). If the end plate (40) becomes jammed, stop the chainsaw immediately, uncouple the cutting rod (39) and release the clamp.
• The cutting aid may only be attached to the chainsaw during the cutting process. The cutting aid must be removed for delimbing and refuelling the chainsaw (Removing the cutting aid, p. 45).
• After about 100 cutting operations, check that the cutting aid is firmly seated and retighten if necessary.
• Ensure that the adapter nut (42) and the quick connector (41) are extremely clean. If the coupling system becomes stiff, please lubricate it.
• Avoid bending, knocks, crushing, chafing etc. on the cutting rod. The cutting rod must be checked regularly for damage.

Removing the cutting aid (Fig. D)

1. Pull the quick connector (41) backwards and remove the cutting rod (39) from the adapter nut (42). The adapter nut can remain on the blade bar bolt (33).

Techniques for cutting to length

Trunk lying on the ground (Fig. E)

Saw all the way through the trunk from above, taking care not to touch the ground at the end of the cut. If it is possible to turn the trunk, saw through 2/3 of it. Then turn the

trunk over and saw through the rest of the trunk from above.

Trunk is supported at one end (Fig. F)

First saw through 1/3 of the trunk diameter from bottom to top (with the top of the blade bar) to avoid splintering. Then saw from top to bottom (with the underside of the blade bar) towards the first cut to avoid jamming.

Trunk is supported at both ends (Fig. G)

First saw through 1/3 of the trunk diameter from top to bottom (with the underside of the blade bar). Then saw from bottom to top (with the top of the blade bar) until the cuts meet.

Sawing on a sawhorse (Fig. H)

Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands and guide the machine in front of your body while sawing. When the log is cut, guide the machine past the body on the right (1). Keep your left arm as straight as possible (2). Watch out for the falling trunk. Position yourself so that the severed trunk does not pose a hazard. Pay attention to your feet. The severed trunk could cause injuries if it falls. Keep your balance (3).

Cleaning, maintenance and storage

⚠ WARNING! Electric shock! Risk of injury due to unintentional start-up. Maintenance and cleaning work must always be carried out with the engine switched off and the spark plug connector (46) removed. You should have any repair and maintenance work that is not described in these instructions carried out by our Service Centre. Only use original replacement parts.

CAUTION! Please be aware that the chainsaw may leak oil after use if it is stored on its side or head. This is a normal occurrence and is caused by the ventilation opening on the top edge of the tank which is a necessary component; this is not grounds for complaint. Since every chainsaw is inspected and tested using oil during manufacture, a small amount of oil may remain in the tank after emptying, which may slightly dirty the housing during transport. Please clean the housing with a cloth.

Cleaning

⚠ WARNING! Electric shock! Never spray down the device with water.

⚠ WARNING! Always carry out cleaning work with: engine switched off, engine cooled down, spark plug connector disconnected and chain brake active.

⚠️ CAUTION! Cutting injuries! Wear cut-resistant gloves when working with the saw chain or with the blade bar.

NOTICE! Risk of damage. Chemical substances may attack the plastic parts of the machine. Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents.

Clean the machine thoroughly. This will extend the life of the machine and prevent accidents.

Maintain the chain lubrication

Before starting work, check the oil level and the function of the chain lubrication.

NOTICE! If the chainsaw is used with too little oil, the cutting performance and lifespan of the saw chain will decrease as the saw chain will become blunt more quickly. You can recognise insufficient oil by the smoke development or discolouration of the blade bar. Make sure that there is always oil flowing onto the chain.

Adjusting the oil flow (Fig. B)

Turn the oil regulating screw (32) on the underside using a slotted screwdriver.

• Increase oil flow
• ○: Decrease oil flow

7. Push the blade bar (11) towards the chain sprocket (34) and remove the saw chain (10) and then the blade bar (11).

Changing the saw chain and blade bar

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.

Requirements

- Mounting the saw chain and blade bar, p. 48

Procedure

1. Replace the blade bar (11) and the saw chain (10).
2. Fit the blade bar (11) and saw chain (10) as described under Installing the saw chain and blade bar, p. 48.

Tools and aids required

- Combination tool

Procedure (Fig. C)

1. Place the device on a level surface.
2. Deactivate the chain brake: Pull the chain brake lever (13) back towards the front handle (1).
   You can only refit the sprocket cover (15) when the chain brake band has been released.
3. Place the blade bar (11) on the blade bar bolts (33) and slide it onto the chain sprocket (34).
4. Thread the saw chain (10) over the chain sprocket (34).
5. Place the saw chain (10) on the top of the blade bar (11) in the blade bar groove.

Start at the chain sprocket (34). It is normal for the saw chain (10) to sag.

1. Pull the blade bar (11) forwards to tension the saw chain (10).
2. Put the sprocket cover (15) back in position. Ensure that the chain tensioner pin (38) engages in the receptacle (35).
3. Tighten the two nuts (17) on the sprocket cover (15) hand-tight. The blade bar should still be able to move.
4. Tension the saw chain: Turn the chain tensioner screw (16) with the combination tool (25) ⬇.
5. Tighten the nuts (17) of the sprocket cover (15) using the combination tool (25).

Tensioning the saw chain

NOTICE! Do not re-tension or change the saw chain when it is hot because it shrinks slightly once it has cooled down. If this is not observed it can lead to damage on the guide rail or the engine because the saw chain is now too taut on the blade bar.

Regularly tightening the saw chain provides safety for the user and reduces and/or prevents wear and chain damage. We recommend that the user check the chain tension before starting work and at intervals of approx. 10 minutes and correct it if necessary. The saw chain warms up when working with the saw and thus expands slightly. These “expansions” can be expected especially from newer saw chains.

Chain tension and chain lubrication have a significant impact on the service life of the saw chain. The chain tension of a new saw chain must be readjusted after a maximum of 5 cuts.

The saw chain is properly tensioned when it does not hang from the underside of the blade bar and cannot be moved around by a gloved hand. When pulling on the saw chain with 9 N (approx. 1 kg) of force, the saw chain and blade bar should not be separated by a distance of more than 2 mm.

10 min 9N max. 2mm

CAUTION! Always carry out maintenance and adjustment work with the engine switched off and the spark plug connector (46) disconnected.

Tools and aids required

- Combination tool

Checking the chain tension

Pull the saw chain (10) upwards at the top of the blade bar (11).

• Saw chain can hardly be pulled upwards: The chain tension is too high. Relax the saw chain.
• The saw chain can be pulled up so far that the driving elements are not fully visible: The chain tension is correct.
• The saw chain can be pulled up so far that the driving elements are fully visible: The chain tension is too low. Tension the saw chain.

Procedure (Fig. A)

1. Deactivate the chain brake: Pull the chain brake lever (13) back towards the front handle (1).

You can only refit the sprocket cover (15) when the chain brake band has been released.

1. Loosen the nuts (17) on the sprocket cover (15) using the combination tool (25).
2. Tension the saw chain: Turn the chain tensioner screw (16) with the combination tool (25) ⬇.

Relax the saw chain: Turn the chain tensioner screw (16) with the combination tool (25) ⑤.

1. Tighten the nuts (17) of the sprocket cover (15) using the combination tool (25).

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

Sharpening the cutting teeth

CAUTION! Risk of injury! An incorrectly sharpened saw chain increases the danger of kickback! Use cut-resistant gloves when working with the saw chain or with the blade bar.

A sharp saw chain ensures optimum cutting performance. It effortlessly eats through the wood and leaves behind large, long wood chips. A saw chain is dull when you have to push the cutting equipment through the wood and the wood chips are very small.

With a very blunt saw chain, no chips are produced, only wood dust.

Special tools are required for sharpening the saw chain to ensure that the chain is sharpened at the correct angle and to the correct depth. For inexperienced chain-saw users, we recommend having the saw chain sharpened by an expert or a specialist workshop. If you are confident that you can sharpen the chain, proceed according to the instructions for your saw chain sharpener (e.g. Parkside PSG 85 B2).

• The sawing parts of the saw chain are the cutting links, which consist of a cutting tooth and a depth gauge lug. The height distance between these two determines the sharpening depth.
• The saw chain is worn and must be replaced with a new saw chain when only approx. 4 mm of the cutting tooth is left.
• The following values must be taken into account when sharpening the cutting teeth (Fig. P):
• Sharpening angle (30°)
• Front angle (60°)
  • Sharpening depth (0.65 mm)
  • Round file diameter (4.0 mm)

⚠ WARNING! Risk of accident! Deviations from the dimensions of the cutting edge geometry can lead to an increased tendency of kickback by the machine.

Tools and aids required

• Round file
• Flat file

Procedure (Fig. P)

1. Switch off the engine and let the device cool down.
2. Switch off the device and remove the battery.
3. Ensure that the saw chain is tightly tensioned to enable correct sharpening.
4. Only sharpen from the inside out. Guide the round file from the inside of the cutting tooth to the outside. Lift off the file when you pull it back.
5. Sharpen the teeth on one side first. Then turn the saw chain over and sharpen the teeth on the other side.
6. Check the length of the cutting links. After sharpening, all the cutting links must have the same length and width.
7. After every third sharpening, check the sharpening depth (depth gauge) and re-

file the height using a flat file. The depth gauge should be set back by approx. 0.65 mm from the cutting tooth.

1. After resetting, round off the depth gauge slightly towards the front.

Running in a new saw chain

The tensioning force of a new saw chain decreases after some time. You must therefore retighten the saw chain after the first 5 cuts or after 10 minutes of sawing at the latest (Tensioning the saw chain, p. 49).

WARNING! Risk of injury! Never attach a new saw chain to a worn chain sprocket or to a damaged or worn blade bar. The saw chain could jump off or break.
