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 in-

tended 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 protection: 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 transporting 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.

Additional safety instructions for chainsaws for tree care

⚠ WARNING! This tool is a very dangerous tool if you are not careful or use the tool improperly. This tool can cause serious injury to the operator or other persons. It is therefore of the utmost importance that these operating instructions are carefully read and understood.

General Information

• The information in these operating instructions is in no way a substitute for professional expertise and experience. If you are not sure how to operate the tool, contact a person with specialist knowledge and experience.
• Only use a chainsaw for tree care if you have the necessary training. In particular, do not work in trees without training. The risk of serious injury is very high.
• Do not use a chainsaw for tree care for work that you can also do with a chainsaw with a rear handle. In the event of a kickback, you can control a chainsaw with a rear handle better than a chainsaw for pruning.

Preparation

- There is an increased risk of loss of control with this tool. Persons carrying out tree care work with this tool must have completed appropriate training in pruning and working techniques beforehand. The operator must be equipped with safety equipment such as a lifting platform, ropes and safety harnesses.

Operation

- Prolonged use of the tool can lead to blood circulation disorders in the hands caused by vibration (Raynaud's syndrome).

If you notice any unusual impairment, stop work immediately and consult a doctor.

- Always apply the chain brake before starting the engine and release the throttle lock immediately after starting the engine. Make sure that the engine speed has returned to idle before the chain brake is released.

- Only use the throttle lock when starting the engine.

⚠ WARNING! Insert a throttle lock before using the tool.

Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback

Two technical diagrams showing mechanical components and a tool interacting with a surface (no text or symbols present)

• 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. Kickback 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. Do not start the motor until the device is fully prepared for use.

Limbing work

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

• Ensure that you are standing firmly and securely when delimbing.
• 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.
• Do not saw with the rail tip.
• Please observe the precautionary measures to protect against kickback (Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback, p. 34)
• If possible, support the pruning saw with the claw stop (19) when delimbing.
• Make sure that the chainsaw can swing through at the end of the cut due to its own weight. The chainsaw will no longer be supported in the cut. Counteract this accordingly.
• Always switch off the chainsaw engine before moving from tree to tree.

Limbing work in sections

Shorten long or thick branches before making the final separating cut. This prevents the saw chain from jamming.

Working from rope and harness

This section presents suitable working practices for reducing the risk of injury from the use of tree service chainsaws when working at height from a rope and harness. While it may form the basis of guidance and training literature, it should not be regarded as a substitute for formal training. The guidance given in this annex is only an example of best working practice.

National or other regulations, which could be more stringent, can apply.

Contents of this section:

- General recommendations that should be followed before using a tree service

chainsaw for work at height from a rope and harness.

- Preparations for using a tree service chainsaw from a rope and harness. How to use a tree service chainsaw for pruning and dismantling, including secure work positioning for two-handed use, starting the chainsaw, cutting with the chainsaw, restrictions on one-handed use and freeing a trapped chainsaw.

This section does not deal with techniques for controlling sections of branches and stems cut by the chainsaw. Nor does it cover the general aspects of safe use already dealt with.

General recommendations

- The operator of a tree service chainsaw working at height from a rope and harness should never work alone. A ground worker trained in appropriate emergency procedures should be present to assist.

- The operator should be trained in general safe climbing and work positioning techniques and should be properly equipped with harness, ropes, strops, carabiners and other equipment for maintaining secure and safe working positions for both himself and the chainsaw.

Preparing the chainsaw for use

- The chainsaw should be checked, fuelled, started and warmed up by the ground worker and then switched off before being sent up to the operator in the tree. - The chainsaw should be fitted with a suitable strop for attachment to the operator's harness (Fig. B.①).

• Secure the strop around the attachment point on the rear of the chain-saw.
• Provide suitable carabiners to allow indirect (i.e. via the strop) and direct attachment (i.e. at the attachment point on the chainsaw) of the chainsaw to the operator's harness.
• Ensure the chainsaw is securely attached when sent up to the operator.
• Ensure the chainsaw is secured to the harness before disconnecting it from the means of ascent.

- The ability to directly attach the chainsaw to the harness reduces the risk of damage to equipment when moving around the tree. The chainsaw should always be

switched off when directly attached to the harness.

• The chainsaw should only be attached to the recommended attachment points on the harness. These may be at mid-point (front or rear) or at the sides. Wherever possible, the chainsaw should be attached to the centre rear mid-point to keep it clear of climbing lines and to support its weight centrally down the operator's spine (Fig. B.②).
• When moving the chainsaw from any one attachment point to another, the operator should ensure that it is secured in the new position before releasing it from the previous attachment point.

Using the chainsaw in the tree

• Analysis of accidents

An analysis of accidents with these chain-saws during tree service operations shows the primary cause as being inappropriate one-handed use of the chain-saw. In the vast majority of accidents, operators fail to adopt a secure work position that allows them to hold both handles of the chainsaw. This increases the risk of injury for the following reasons:

• The operator does not have a firm grip on the chainsaw if it kicks back.
• The operator lacks control of the chainsaw, making it more likely to come into contact with the climbing lines. and the operator's body (especially the left hand and arm).
• The operator loses control due to an unsafe working position. This could result in contact with the chainsaw due to unexpected movement during operation.

• Securing the work position for two-handed use

To ensure safe operation of the chainsaw with both hands, operators should aim for a secure work position to operate the chainsaw as follows:

• hip level, when cutting horizontal sections
• solar-plexus level, when cutting vertical sections

- When the operator works close to vertical stems with low lateral forces, secure footing may be sufficient to maintain a safe work position. However, as operators move away from the stem, they will need

to take measures to remove or counter-act increasing lateral forces. This can be achieved by redirecting the main line via a supplementary anchor point or using an adjustable strop directly from the harness to a supplementary anchor point (Fig. B.③).

- Gaining a secure footing at the work position can be aided by the use of a temporary foot stirrup created from an endless sling (Fig. B.④).

Starting the chainsaw in the tree

- Procedure for starting the chainsaw in the tree:

• Apply the chain brake before starting.
• When starting, hold the chainsaw on either the left or right side of the body: on the left side: Hold the chainsaw with the left hand on the front handle and the pull starter cord in the right hand. Then, use the left hand to thrust the chainsaw away from the body.

on the right side: Hold the chainsaw with the right hand on either handle and the pull starter cord in the left hand. Then, use the right hand to thrust the chainsaw away from the body.

• Always engage the chain brake before lowering a running chainsaw onto its strop.
• The operator should always check that the chainsaw has sufficient fuel before making critical cuts.

Freeing a trapped chainsaw

Procedure for freeing a trapped chainsaw:

• switch off the chainsaw and attach it securely to the tree trunkwards of the cut or to a separate tool line,
• pull the chainsaw from the kerf while lifting the branch as necessary, and
• if necessary, use a handsaw or second chainsaw to release the trapped chainsaw by cutting a minimum of 30 cm away from the trapped chainsaw.

Whether a handsaw or a chainsaw is used to free a trapped chainsaw, the release cuts should always be outwards (toward the tips of the branch), in order to prevent the chainsaw being taken with the section and further complicating the situation.

Cleaning, maintenance and storage

⚠ WARNING! Risk of injury due to unintentional start-up. Protect yourself when performing maintenance or cleaning work. Switch off the motor.

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.

Cleaning after every use

• Keep the handles free of petrol, oil or grease. If necessary, clean the handles with a damp cloth washed in soapy water.
• Clean the saw chain. Do not use any liquids to clean the saw chain. Lightly oil the saw chain with chain oil after cleaning.
• For cleaning, also remove the sprocket cover (11) so that this area can also be cleaned.
• Clean the blade bar (6)
• Clean the ventilation slits and the surface of the machine with a paintbrush or dry cloth.
• Clean the oil passage (33) to ensure fault-free, automatic oiling of the saw chain during operation. Use a brush or a cloth to help remove residues from the oil passage.

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.

⚠ WARNING! Risk of injury! The use of unauthorised combinations of blade bar and saw chain can lead to an increased risk of kickback.

Requirements

- Mounting the saw chain and blade bar, p. 43

Permitted cutting equipment

• Blade bar Kangxin AP10-40-509P
• Saw chain Kangxin 3/8.050x40DL

Procedure

1. Replace the blade bar (6)/ the saw chain (7).
2. Fit the blade bar (6) and saw chain (7) as described under Installing the saw chain and blade bar, p. 35 beschrieben.

Installing the saw chain and blade bar

Section Installing the saw chain and blade bar, p. 35 describes how to assembly the saw chain and blade bar.

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 (37) disconnected.

Tools and aids required

- Combination tool

Checking the chain tension

Pull the saw chain (7) upwards at the top of the blade bar (6).

• 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

1. Deactivate the chain brake: Pull the chain brake lever (5) back towards the front handle (14).
   You can only refit the sprocket cover (11) when the chain brake band has been released.
2. Loosen the nuts (9) on the sprocket cover (11) using the combination tool (20).
3. Tension the saw chain: Turn the chain tensioner screw (10) with the combination tool (20) ⬇.

Relax the saw chain: Turn the chain tensioner screw (10) with the combination tool (20) 5.

1. Tighten the nuts (9) of the sprocket cover (11) using the combination tool (20).

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

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. 43).

⚠ 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.

Adjusting the chain tension

Adjusting the chain tension is described in section Tensioning the saw chain, p. 43.

Procedure

1. Mounting the saw chain and blade bar, p. 43
2. Turn the blade bar along its horizontal axis.
   When doing so, pay attention to the correct rotation direction of the saw chain
3. Installing the saw chain and blade bar, p. 35

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 :
  • Sharpening angle (25°)
• Front angle (10°)
  • Sharpening depth (0,6 mm)
  • Round file diameter (4,8 mm (3/16"))

⚠ 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

1. Switch off the engine and let the device cool down.
2. Ensure that the saw chain is tightly tensioned to enable correct sharpening.
3. 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.
4. Sharpen the teeth on one side first. Then turn the saw chain over and sharpen the teeth on the other side.
5. Check the length of the cutting links. After sharpening, all the cutting links must have the same length and width.
6. 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. 0,6 mm from the cutting tooth.
7. After resetting, round off the depth gauge slightly towards the front.

Storage

• Clean and maintain the tool prior to storage.
• Attach the chain guard (21).
• The combination tool (20) can be stowed in the chain guard (21) for storage.
• Empty the oil tank prior to longer periods of non-use. Dispose of waste oil environmentally correctly (Disposal/environmental protection, p. 47). There may still be oil residues within hoses and in the tool that could leak out during storage. Place the tool on a suitable base/oil pan for storage.
• Store the tool in a dry and dustproof location and out of reach of children.

Storage when not in operation

⚠️ CAUTION! Fuel residues in the carburet-tor can cause starting problems or permanent damage to the tool.
