5. Important information

⚠ 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 (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

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. Distraction can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

  • Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
  • Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
  • Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
  • Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
  • When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
  • If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

- Stay alert, watch 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 devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

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.
  • Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. 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.

Battery tool use and care

  • Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
  • Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
  • When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
  • Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

Safety notices for Li-Ion batteries

  • Do not open the battery. Risk of short-circuiting!
  • Protect the battery from heat, e.g. from constant sun exposure, and from fire, water and humidity. Risk of explosion.
  • Protect the battery from heat, e.g. from constant sun exposure, and from fire, water and humidity. Risk of explosion.
  • When the battery has been damaged or it is being used inappropriately, fumes can be released. Let fresh air in and consult a doctor if the fumes cause you any problems. The fumes can irritate the respiratory tract.
  • Only use original batteries with the voltage specified on the rating plate of your power tool. If other batteries are used, e.g. imitations, reconditioned batteries or products from third party manufacturers, there is a risk of personal injury as well as property damage based on exploding batteries.
  • The battery voltage must correspond with the battery charging voltage of the charger. Otherwise, there is a risk of fire and explosion.
  • The battery voltage must correspond with the battery charging voltage of the charger. Otherwise, there is a risk of fire and explosion.
  • Charge the batteries only in chargers that have been recommended by the manufacturer. There is a risk of fire if a charger for a particular type of battery is used for another type of battery.

  • The battery can be damaged by sharp objects such as a nail or screwdriver or by external application of force. The battery may short-circuit and start burning, smoking, exploding or overheating.

  • Observe the operating manual and the safety instructions enclosed with the rechargeable battery or charging unit.

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.

⚠️ Risk of fire! Risk of explosion!

7. Fitting the cutter bar and the chaine (Fig. 30-32)

  • Remove the chain wheel cover (Fig. 32/ Item J) by undoing the fastening nut (Item I). Lay the chain (Item F) as shown into the groove which runs around the cutter bar (Item E).
  • 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 finished working, slacken the chain again as it will shorten when it cools down. This will help to prevent damage to the chain.

9. Working instructions

Working with brush cutter / grass trimmer

  • When you work with the brush cutter for the first time, familiarize yourself with the operation and control of the cutting blade without running engine.
  • The design of the brush cutter allows for operation only at the right side of the user's body.
  • Keep the brush cutter firmly with both hands on the handles.
  • Always make sure that the cutting tool continues to rotate briefly after the throttle has been released.
    • Always so that the cutting tool no longer turns in a proper engine idle not press down the throttle.
  • 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.

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

INJURY 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.

SCHEPPACH MFB4-40Li SE - Servicing and sharpening of saw chain - 1

text_image 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
