5. Safety information

⚠ WARNING! Read all safety information and instructions. Failure to observe safety information and instructions can result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injuries.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “electric tool” used in the safety instructions refers to mains-powered electrical tools (with a mains cable) and battery-powered electrical tools (without a mains cable).

Safety at the workplace

- Keep your work area clean and tidy. Disorganised and unlit work areas can result in accidents.

• Do not work with the device in an explosive environment where flammable liquids, gases or dusts may be located. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions may cause you to lose control of the device.

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 physical contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ovens 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 use the cable for another purpose, for example, carrying or hanging the power tool or pulling the plug out of the socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving device parts. Damaged or coiled cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
• If you work with a power tool outdoors, only use extension cables that are also 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 carelessness when using electrical tools can result in serious injuries.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a 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. Keeping your finger on the switch or having the device switched on when you connect it to the power supply may result in accidents.

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A tool or spanner that is located in a rotating device part may result in injuries.

• 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 hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If dust extraction and collection devices can be mounted, make sure that they are connected and used properly. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

Power tool use and care

• Do not overload the device. 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.
• Remove the plug from the socket and/or remove the battery before setting the device, changing accessories or putting the device away. 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 let people use the device if they are not familiar with it or if they have not read these instructions. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check whether moving parts function properly and do not get stuck and whether parts are broken or are damaged and thus adversely affect the electric tool function. Have damaged parts repaired before using the device. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Always keep your 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.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Using and handling the rechargeable tool

• Only charge the rechargeable batteries with charging units recommended by the manufacturer.
  A charging unit that is suitable for a particular type of rechargeable battery poses a fire hazard when used with other rechargeable batteries.
• Only use the rechargeable batteries in power tools that are designed for them. The use of other rechargeable batteries can lead to injuries and a risk of fire.
• Keep the unused rechargeable battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that could cause a short-circuit between the contacts. A short-circuit between the contacts of the rechargeable battery could result in burns or fires.
• Liquid may leak from the rechargeable battery if used incorrectly. Avoid contact with it. In case of accidental contact, rinse with water. If the liquid gets into your eyes, seek additional medical attention. Leaking battery fluid may cause skin irritation or burns.

8.8 Installing the chainsaw blade (20) and the saw chain (19) (Fig. 29 - 30)

1. Remove the chain cover (B) by loosening the fixing nut (A).
2. Screw the chain tensioning screw (C) carefully up to the stop to the left. This makes it easier to insert the chainsaw blade (20). (Fig. 30)
3. The saw chain (19) is placed in the circumferential groove of the chainsaw blade (20).
4. Place the chainsaw blade (20) with the inserted saw chain (19) into the holder for the pole-mounted pruner (6). (Fig. 30)
5. Pay attention to the alignment of the chain teeth (Fig. 31).
6. Guide the saw chain (19) around the chain wheel (E). Make sure that the teeth of the saw chain (19) grip securely into the chain wheel (E).
7. Place the chainsaw blade (20) into the transmission retainer (D). The chainsaw blade (20) must be hooked into the chain tensioning bolt (C).
8. Refit the chain cover (B) and the fixing nut (A).

Attention!

Only fully tighten the fixing nut (A) after the chain tension has been adjusted (see section 8.8.1 "Tensioning the saw chain").

8.8.1 Tensioning the saw chain (19) (Fig. 32 - 34)

1. Loosen the fixing nut (A) for the chain cover (B) a few turns using the assembly tool (26).
2. Adjust chain tension with the chain tensioning screw (C) using the assembly tool (26).
   Turning to the right increases the chain tension, turning to the left decreases the chain tension.
   The saw chain (19) is tensioned correctly when it can be lifted approx. 2 mm in the centre of the chainsaw blade (20) (Fig. 32).
3. Retighten the fixing nut (A) for the chain cover (B) with the assembly tool (26).
4. Attention! All chain links of the saw chain (19) must sit properly in the guide groove of the chain-saw blade (20).

Notes about tensioning the saw chain (19):

The saw chain (19) must be tensioned correctly in order to guarantee safe operation. You can identify the optimal tension when the saw chain (19) can be lifted approx. 2 mm in the centre of the chainsaw blade (20).

Check the chain tension every 10 mins at the latest and adjust it if necessary as the saw chain (19) heats up during sawing and therefore its length changes.

This particularly applies to new saw chains.

Slacken the saw chain (19) after work is complete because it shortens after cooling down. This prevents the saw chain (19) from getting damaged.

8.8.2 Filling the automatic saw chain lubrication (Fig. 32, 33)

- To switch off the device, release the safety switch (3) and keep the on/off switch (5) pressed.

ATTENTION!

If the cutting device touches a foreign body, or the operating noise intensifies, or the electrical device vibrates unusually heavily, switch off the engine and allow the electrical device to come to a halt. Remove the battery and implement the following measures:

• check for damage
• check for loose parts and fasten all parts
• replace damaged parts with equivalent parts or have them repaired.

11. Working instructions

ATTENTION:

Only hold the device by the insulated gripping surfaces, because the cutting blade can come into contact with concealed power lines. If the cutting blade comes into contact with an energised line, device parts can become energised and cause an electric shock.

• Always hold the device tightly with both hands on the rear control handle (2) and front handle (22) (Fig. 14).
• Hold the rear control handle (2) with your right hand and the front handle (22) with your left hand.

• Always make sure that the cutting tool continues to rotate for a short time after the throttle lever (4) has been released.
- Always ensure that the engine is idling properly so that the cutting tool no longer rotates when the throttle (4) is not pressed.
- Always work with high speed so you have the best cutting results.

Attention!

• The cutting tool (9, 17) on the brushcutter / grass trimmer (7) must not touch the floor in the normal working position.
• When using the hedge trimmer (8) or pole-mounted pruner (6), the combination device should be swung horizontally.

11.1 Working with the brushcutter (9) / grass trimmer (7)

When working with the brushcutter (9) / grass trimmer (7), the protective cover (16, 18) for the blade and thread operation must be mounted in order to prevent objects being ejected.

The cutting blade (16a) in the shield (16) automatically cuts the thread to the optimum length. (Fig. 16)

11.1.1 Mowing with the brushcutter (9)

• With the device switched off, first familiarise yourself with the operation and guidance if you are working with a brushcutter (9) for the first time.
• The brushcutter (9) is designed so that it is operated solely from the right-hand side of the operator.
• Move the device with a uniform curved movement from left to right and back again. Then cut the next section. (Fig. 25)
• Attention: Always move the device back into the starting position before cutting the next path.
• Attention: Always be particularly careful when working in difficult terrain and on slopes. Cut long grass in stages to ensure that the device is not overloaded. First cut the tips, then work your way up in stages.
  • Always wear protective goggles and hearing protection, and a hard hat when doing thinning work.
• While using metal cutting tools, there is generally a risk of kickback, when the tool hits a solid obstacle (stones, trees, branches, etc.). The device is thrown back against the direction of rotation.
• With wild growth and undergrowth, “immerse” the brushcutter (7) from above. This chops the material to be cut.
• Attention! The cutting blade (9) is still running! Do not stop the cutting blade (9) with your hand.
• Keep the cutting blade (9) / thread coil (17) away from feet.

ATTENTION:

Use this work technique with particular care. The greater the distance between the cutting tool and the ground, the greater the danger that the material to be cut and foreign objects will be thrown to the side.

11.2 Mowing with the grass trimmer (7)

• Use the thread coil (17) to get a clean cut even on uneven edges, fence posts, and trees.
• Carefully bring the thread coil (17) up to an obstacle and cut around the obstacle with the tip of the trimming thread. When the trimming line comes into contact with stones, trees, and walls, the line wears out or breaks off ahead of time.
• Never replace the trimming thread with a metal wire - DANGER OF INJURY!

11.2.1 Automatic trimming thread (Fig. 16, 23)

• The grass trimmer is supplied with a filled thread coil (17).
  • This line will wear out during work.
• So that new thread is fed in, press the trigger (17a) on the thread coil (17) firmly on the floor with the motor running.
• The line is automatically fed due to centrifugal force. The thread is cut to the correct length by the cutting blade (16a) on the shield (16).

11.3 Working with the hedge trimmer (8)

• The hedge trimmer (8) is suitable for cutting hedges, bushes and shrubs.
• Hold the hedge trimmer (8) at a safe distance away from your body with two hands.
• 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.
• Thanks to the its double-sided cutting unit (15), the hedge trimmer (8) can be moved forward and backward or from one side to the other swinging it back and forth.
• Cut the sides of the hedges first and then the top edge.
• Cut hedges from bottom to the top.
• Cut the hedges in trapezium shape. This prevents the lower hedge area from becoming bare due to insufficient light.
• 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.
• Make sure to remove any foreign objects from the hedges (e.g. wire), since they may damage the cutting unit (15) of the hedge trimmer (8).
• Attention! The blades are still running! Do not stop the blades with your hand.

The right time to cut:

• Leaf hedge: June and October
  • Conifer hedge: April and August
• Fast growing hedge: around every 6 weeks from May

Pay attention to nesting birds in the hedge. Delay the hedge cut or leave this area out if this is the case.

11.3.1 Hedge trimmer angle adjustment (8) (Fig. 28)

The hedge trimmer (8) can be adjusted to the working conditions by swivelling the cutting unit (15) from +90^ to -75^ . (Fig. 28).

Attention! Only adjust with the engine switched off!

1. Press both unlocking levers (14a) on the cutting unit (15) and adjust to the desired position.
2. Use the adjustment lever (14) to do this.
3. Release both unlocking levers (14a) until they engage into the toothing.
4. Before commissioning, check that the unlocking levers (14a) are properly engaged.

Attention!

The cutting unit (15) may only be used when both unlocking levers (14a) are engaged!

Oil the blades and the angle adjustment each time before starting work, with environmentally friendly lubricant. Also oil the blade regularly while working.

Attention!

Only oil with the engine switched off!

Attention!

Incorrect use and misuse can damage the hedge trimmer and cause severe injuries due to ejected parts.

To minimise the risk of accidents by using the cutting blade, take note of the following points:

• Never cut shrubs or timbers with a diameter of more than 2cm.
• 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 by a qualified specialist. When the cutting blade is apparently out of balance, it must be replaced.

11.4 Working with the pole-mounted pruner (6) Oiling the saw chain (19) and guide bar

It is recommended to use commercial chain oil.

Remove the oil tank cover (G). (Fig. 32, 33).

Fill the chainsaw oil tank (21) (Fig. 32, 33) to 80% with saw chain oil.

Close the tank cap.

11.4.1 Oil supply control

Always make sure the automatic oiler system is working properly. Ensure that the chainsaw oil tank is always filled (21).

During sawing work, the rail and the saw chain (19) must always be oiled sufficiently in order to reduce friction on the chainsaw blade (20).

The chainsaw blade (20) and the saw chain (19) must never be without oil.

If you use the saw dry or with too little oil, the cutting performance reduces, the service life of the chain-saw blade (20) is reduced, the saw chain (19) becomes blunt quicker and the rail wears a great deal due to overheating. You can that there is too little oil if smoke forms or the guide rail discolours.

To check the saw chain lubrication, hold the chain-saw with the saw chain (19) over a sheet of paper and give it full throttle for a few seconds.

The oil quantity can be checked on the paper.

The saw chain (19) must always fling a small amount of oil. After a few seconds, a light oil trail must be visible. Always ensure that there is enough oil in the chainsaw oil tank (21) for saw chain lubrication.

11.4.2 Precautionary measures for the sawing work

• Never stand directly under the branch that you want to saw off!
• Possible risk of injury caused by falling branches and catapulting pieces of wood. In general, it is recommended to set the pole-mounted pruner (6) at an angle of 60^ to the branch.
• Hold the device firmly with both hands during the cutting process and always ensure that you are in a balanced position and have secure footing.
• Never use the device with only 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.
• Do not saw strong branches in one cut, always in several steps.
• Place the saw chain (19) on the branch to be cut.
• Apply light pressure to move the device, but do not overload the engine.
• Before cutting, clear the work area of obstructive branches and undergrowth. Then, keep the area clean, on which branches could fall after cutting and remove any obstacles there, if necessary.
• Always keep the work area clear, remove the cut branches immediately.
• Pay attention to your location, the wind direction and the possible felling direction of the branches.
• Be prepared for fallen branches to kick back.
• Place all other tools and devices at a safe distance from the branches to be cut, but not in the withdrawal area.

Always monitor 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 unexpectedly while cutting.

Also watch out for broken and dead branches that could come loose due to the vibrations and fall on you.

For very thick or tough branches, first make a small cut beneath the branch before working from top to bottom to prevent it breaking off.

Basic cutting technique

Heavy branches break off easily when sawing and long strips of bark break off from the trunk which causes lasting damage to the tree. You can significantly reduce this risk with the following cutting technique:

• First saw the branch about 10 cm away from the trunk on the underside of the branch.
• Make another cut about 15 cm to the trunk from above.
• Keep sawing until the branch breaks off. There is now no longer a risk of damaging the bark on the trunk.
• Finally, remove the remaining branch stump with a clean cut from above along the trunk.
• To keep the damage to the tree to a minimum, we also recommend sealing the cutting area with grafting wax.

Dangers from reactive forces

Reactive forces occur during the operation of the saw chain (19). The forces that are to be applied to the wood act against the operator. They occur when the moving saw chain (19) comes into contact with a solid object such as a branch or is jammed. These forces can lead to a loss of control and injuries.

Understanding how these forces occur can help you avoid the moment of shock and loss of control.

This saw is designed so that the kick-back effects are not as noticeable as with conventional chainsaws.

Nevertheless, always make Container you have a firm grip and secure footing so that you can keep control of the tool in case of doubt.

The most common effects are:

• Kick-back
• Recoil
• Kick-back

Kick-back

Kick-back can occur if the running saw chain (19) strikes a solid object on the upper quarter of the chainsaw blade (20) or becomes jammed.

The cutting force of the saw chain (19) exerts a rotational force on the saw in the opposite direction to the saw chain movement. This leads to an upward movement of the chainsaw blade (20).

Avoid kickback

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

• Always keep an eye on the position of the upper guide rail.
• Never let this point come into contact with an object. Do not cut anything with it. Be particularly careful in the vicinity of wire fences and when cutting small, hard branches that can jam the saw chain (19) easily.
• Only cut one branch at a time.

Kick-back

Retraction occurs when the saw chain (19) suddenly becomes stuck on the underside of the guide bar because it is jammed or hits a foreign object in the wood. The saw chain (19) then pulls the saw forwards.

Retraction often occurs when the saw chain (19) is not running at full speed when it comes into contact with the wood.

Avoiding retraction

Be aware of the forces and situations that can lead to the saw chain (19) becoming jammed on the underside of the guide bar. Always start cutting with the saw chain (19) running at full speed.

Recoil

Recoil occurs when the saw chain (19) suddenly becomes stuck on the top of the guide bar because it is jammed or hits a foreign object in the wood. The saw chain (19) can then suddenly push the saw towards the operator. Recoil often occurs when the top of the blade is being used for cutting.

Avoiding recoil

Be aware of the forces and situations that can lead to the saw chain (19) becoming jammed on the top of the guide bar. Do not cut more than one branch at a time. Do not tilt the chainsaw blade (20) to the side when pulling it out of a cutting slit, as this could jam the saw chain (19).

12. Maintenance

WARNING!

Unplug the mains plug from the socket before carrying out any work on the device.

Always wear protective gloves during all work on and around the cutting tools.

If not in use, or if in transport or in storage, always mount transport protection to all cutting tools (6, 7, 8). (Fig. 1)

Always switch the motor off before carrying out any maintenance and cleaning work.

1. Do not spray the device with water. This damages the engine.

2. Clean the device with a cloth, hand brush, etc.

3. Use a damp cloth to clean the plastic parts. Do not use cleaning agents, solvents or sharp objects.
4. For technical reasons, wet grass and weeds wrap around the drive axle beneath the protective cover (16, 18) while working. Remove this, otherwise the engine will overheat due to excessive friction. (Fig. 24)

12.1 Regular checks

Note that the following information relates to normal use.

Under certain circumstances (longer daily work, heavy levels of dust, etc.), shorten the intervals specified accordingly.

Before starting work, after filling the tank, after an impact or if dropped:

• Check the outer surface of the flexible drive shaft for nicks, cracks, wear, discolouration, deformation and other damage. The flexible drive shaft must be replaced if it is damaged, discoloured or deformed.
• Check the cutting tools for firm seating, general visual inspection for cracks and damage.
• Replace damaged or blunt cutting tools immediately, even with hairline cracks.
• Sharpen the cutting tools (also if necessary).

Weekly check:

• Gear lubrication (also if necessary).

If necessary:

• Tighten the accessible fastening screws and nuts. Check all bolts and nuts for looseness and tighten securely if necessary.
• Check the grip screws for looseness and tighten securely if necessary.

Excessive wear and damage to the device can be prevented if the specifications in this user manual are adhered to.

12.2 Maintenance of the brushcutter / grass trim-mer (7)

12.2.1 Replacement of the thread coil (17) (Fig. 17 - 22)

1. Pull the coil cover off the thread coil (17) by firmly pressing the retaining lugs.
2. Remove the coil with the thread remnants and the compression spring.
3. Remove the used coil.
4. Take the new coil and pull out 10 cm of both threads.
5. Now place the coil on the conical pointed spring and guide both threads through the eyelets on the thread coil (17).
6. Now place the coil cover on the new coil.

Turn it so that the recesses in the coil cover align with the eyelets in the thread coil (17).

1. Now press the thread cover together with the coil until it engages in the thread coil housing.
2. The blade (16a) in the cutting protection (16) shortens the trimming thread to the correct length when the machine starts up again.

12.2.2 Grinding the cutting blade (9)

If the blades become slightly dull, you can sharpen them yourself.

• Fasten the cutting blade (9) in a vice.
• Grind all 3 blades of the cutting blade (9) using a flat file and make sure to maintain the angle of the cutting edge ( 25^ ). Only file in one direction.
• Replace the blades after sharpening them five times at the latest.

Replace the cutting blade (9) if the cutting edge is heavily worn or broken.

The brushcutter (7) can vibrate excessively if the blades are not balanced; therefore there is a danger of injury!

12.2.3 Lubricating the brushcutter / grass trim-mer (7) (Fig. 7)

Treat with lithium-based grease.

1. Remove the screw (d) and add grease until grease comes out.
2. Then refit the screw (d).

Attention! Top up with only a little grease. Under no circumstances overfill.

12.3 Maintenance of the pole-mounted pruner (6)

12.3.1 Looking after the chainsaw blade (20) and the pole-mounted pruner (6)

Turn the chainsaw blade (20) over every time the saw chain (19) is sharpened or replaced. This will prevent wearing the chainsaw blade (20) on one side, especially at the tip and the underside.

Regularly clean the following parts of the pole-mount-

ed pruner (6):

1 = the opening for the oil feed
2 = the oil channel
3 = the circumferential groove of the rail

12.3.2 Maintenance and sharpening of the saw chain (19)

A properly sharpened saw chain (19) goes effortlessly through the wood and requires very little pressure. Do not work with a dull or damaged saw chain (19). It increases physical exertion, magnifies the vibrations and leads to unsatisfactory results as well as greater wear and tear.

• Clean the saw chain (19).
• Check the chain for breaks in the links and damaged rivets.
• Replace damaged and worn chain parts with suitable spare parts, which you can file down to the shape and size of the original parts if necessary.
• Sharpening a saw chain (19) should only be carried out by experienced users!

Note the angles and dimensions specified below. If the saw chain (19) is not properly sharpened or the depth gauge is too small, there is a higher risk of kickback effects and the resulting injuries!

• The saw chain (19) cannot be fixed on the guide rail. It is therefore best to remove the saw chain (19) from the rail and then sharpen it.
• Select a sharpening tool that is suitable for the chain pitch.

The chain pitch (e.g. 3/8") is marked in the depth gauge of each knife.

Only use files specifically for saw chains (19)!

Other files have the wrong shape and the wrong edge.

Select the diameter of the file according to your chain pitch. Be sure to also note the following angles when sharpening the chain blades.

A B

A = file angle
B = angle of the side plate

Furthermore, the angle must be maintained for all blades.

If the angles are uneven, the saw chain (19) will run erratically, wear out quickly and break prematurely. Since these requirements can only be met with sufficient and regular practice:

- Use a file holder

A file holder must be used when sharpening the saw chain (19) by hand. The correct filing angles are marked on it.

• Hold the file horizontally (at the correct angle to the guide rail) and file according to the angle marking on the file holder. Support the file holder on the top plate and the depth gauge.
  • Always file the blade from the inside out.
• The file only sharpens as it moves forward. Lift the file off as you move backwards.
• Do not touch the fastening straps or dynamic links with the file.

• Turn the file regularly to avoid wear on one side.

• Use a piece of hard wood to remove the burr from cut edges.

• All blades must have the same length, otherwise they will also be of different heights.
• This causes the saw chain (19) to run erratically and increases the danger of it breaking.

12.3.3 Lubricating the pole-mounted pruner (6) transmission (Fig. 33)

Lubricate the drive every 10 to 20 operating hours.

1. Apply a grease gun (not included in the scope of delivery) to the grease nipple (I).
