Chain Saw Safety Warnings

• 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.
• 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 power tool 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 power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

• Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.

• Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of a chain saw while up in a tree may result in personal injury.
• Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when standing on fixed, secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain saw.
• 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.
• 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.
• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
• Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not intended. For example: do not use chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry, or non-wood building materials. Use of the chain saw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Before starting the device, you must ensure that the chain is free from foreign objects.
  • Always cut at full motor power and keep the speed constant.

Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback

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. Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator.

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 tool 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 bars and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and 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.

Additional Safety Information

• It is recommended that the user is instructed by a qualified specialist about the operation of the chain saw and the use of safety equipment based on practical examples prior to first commissioning.
• This product is not intended to be used by persons (including children) or who are limited in their physical, sensory, or mental capacities or who lack experience and/or knowledge of the product.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not use the product as a toy.
• Children and adolescents are not allowed to operate the chain saw. The same applies to persons who are not or not well enough acquainted with the chain saw.

Operating the Chainsaw

NOTE: Before using the chainsaw, familiarize yourself sufficiently with the sawing technique for chainsaws. You will find information about this in the trade literatures. We recommend that you attend suitable training sessions. The notes here serve only as a complement!

Correct Posture

DANGER! Risk of injury! Never work on unstable surfaces! Never work above shoulder height! Never work while standing on a ladder! Do not work bent too far forward! Only use the device

under favourable weather and site conditions!

1. Stand with both legs securely on the ground.
2. Heed obstacles in the work area.
3. While you are working, always hold the device fast with both hands!
   Hold the device:
4. With the left hand on the front handle.
   – With the right hand on the rear handle.
   – Balanced in a secure position.

How to Saw Correctly

DANGER! Risk of injury! Always switch the motor OFF before you put the device down!

1. Search the work area and remove objects which are in your way.
2. When you begin work, check the safety of the device (Checks Before Starting).
3. Take the device in both hands, as instructed.

Kickback Risks

DANGER! Risk of injury! When working with the device, dangerous kickbacks

may occur! Severe or even fatal injuries can be the result! Before beginning work with the device, the chain brake must be checked to ensure that it is functioning correctly.

Kickbacks occur if the upper edge or tip of the saw rail contacts wood or other hard objects. The device is thrown with high energy back and forth, which can cause extremely severe injuries.

Diagram illustrating a mechanical or electrical hazard symbol with labeled components and directional arrows, likely representing a hazard or safety concept.

Avoid letting the area of the saw rail touch wood or other hard objects. To reduce the risk of injury in case of a kickback, the device is equipped with a chain brake which is triggered automatically on impact and which stops the saw chain immediately.

For safety reasons, the functionality of the chain brake must be checked each time before the device is used (Checking the Chain Brake). With less strong kickbacks, it can happen that the chain brake is not triggered automatically. For this reason, it is important that the device should be held securely with both hands.

Only a careful and correct working method can reduce the risk of a kickback reliably!

Basic Techniques

DANGER! Risk of injury! This section shows basic work techniques when handling the device.

The information provided here does not replace the many years of training and experience of a

professional. Do not perform any work for which you are not sufficiently qualified! Thoughtless handling of the device can cause severe or even fatal injuries!

Before Each Use

1. Check the chain brake to ensure it is functioning correctly.
2. Check the rear hand guard for damage.
3. Check the switch-on safety lock and start button to ensure they are functioning correctly.
4. Check whether all handles are free of oil residues.
5. Check whether all parts of the device are present, firmly attached, and undamaged.
6. Check the chain catcher for damage.
7. Check the chain tensioning.

Pulling Sawing

Diagram illustrating a chain with directional arrows and concentric ring patterns, labeled with 'BAUMR-AG' and 'MR-AG'

With this technique, sawing occurs by starting on the underside of the saw rail and moving downwards. The saw chain thus pushes the device forwards away from the user. This way, the front edge of the device forms a support, which catches the forces that arise on the tree trunk when sawing.

With pulling sawing, the user has much more control over the device and can avoid kickbacks better. This is the preferred sawing technique.

• Saw as close to the motor block as possible. This prevents the saw from kicking back out of control.
• If the bar saw is caught, pull the handle of the saw upwards. The leveraging effect will push the saw rail down, making the sawing work easier.

Pushing Sawing

Diagram illustrating gear meshing with directional arrows and labeled components like BAUMR-AG

With this technique, sawing occurs with the upper edge of the saw rail from below and slowly moving upwards. The saw chain pushes the device backwards towards the user. If the saw rail twists, the device can fly towards the user with great force.

The leveraging effect will push the saw rail down making, the sawing work easier.

Diagram illustrating a mechanical or electrical hazard symbol with labeled components and directional arrows, likely from a technical or engineering context.

If the user does not balance out the force of the saw chain pushing backwards with his or her bodily force, there is a danger that only the tip of the saw rail will make contact with the wood and there will be a kickback!

Felling a Tree

DANGER! Risk of injury! Felling and delimbing work should only be performed by trained people! There is a risk of fatal injuries!

A B 45° 45° B

Before felling a tree, make sure that:

• There are no people or animals in the felling area of the tree.
- There is an obstacle-free escape route for each participant. A retreat occurs diagonally counter to the felling direction.
• The area around the trunk is free of obstacles (risk of stumbling!).
- The next workplace is at least two and a half tree lengths away. Before felling, the felling direction of the tree must be checked, and it must be ensured that there are no objects, people, or animals within 2 ½ tree lengths.

1 2 ~5 cm

Tree felling occurs in two steps:

1. Notch the trunk by approximately one-third of its diameter on the felling direction side.
2. On the other side, make the felling cut, which must be somewhat higher than the felling notch (approx. 5 cm).

DANGER! Risk of injury! Never saw the tree trunk completely through. The area serves as a "hinge" and ensures a defined felling direction. When felling, stand only to the side of the tree to

be felled! There is a risk of fatal injuries!

Trunks Lying Flat on the Ground

Cut into the trunk halfway, then turn over and saw through from the opposite side.

NOTICE! Device damage! Make sure that the saw rail does not touch the ground while you are sawing through the trunk!

Propped-Up Trunks

We recommend that you place trunks to be sawed through on sawhorses. If this is not possible, the trunk should be lifted with the help of supporting branches and placed over trestles.

A B

In area A, first cut through approximately one-third of the trunk diameter from above and move slowly downwards, then make the final cut from below, moving slowly upwards.

In area B, first cut through approximately one-third of the trunk diameter from below and slowly move upwards, then saw through from above.

DANGER! Risk of injury! Do not saw any trunks under tension! Splintering wood or a twisted saw rail can cause extremely severe injuries! Always place on the higher side of the trunk, as that it may roll away.

Removing Branches

• Always work on the side opposite the branches.
- Begin at the bottom of the trunk and work your way upwards.
• Always guide the saw from above and slowly move downwards through the wood.

When removing branches from trunks which are lying down, first saw off the free branches sticking up in the air. Only saw off supporting branches when the trunk is sawed in lengths.

DANGER! Risk of injury! Branches that are high up or under tension can wedge the saw chain in the wood!

Lithium Battery Care and Maintenance

Top 3 Battery Care Requirements

1. Charge battery before first use. The battery may arrive with some charge, regardless of this the battery must be charged for 2 hours on the initial charge and 2 hours for each subsequent charge.
2. Charge battery immediately when it is depleted. Do not store a depleted battery. This will permanently impact the life of the battery. If the battery is going to be stored for a period of time, fully charge the battery before storing.
3. Disconnect battery when not in use. To prolong the life of a battery, disconnect it from the unit when not in use. Disconnect chargers from the battery once charged.

To ensure the battery maintains optimum performance, follow the guidelines outlined below.

• For best results, charge batteries in temperatures between 10°C and 30°C
- When battery is charged, disconnect the charger from the power supply and remove the battery from the charger.
- If a battery is stored or otherwise unused for an extended period, and the battery has no charge remaining when you check it, consider it to be damaged. Do not attempt to recharge it or to use it. Replace it with a new battery.
• Use only with the battery charger specified by the manufacturer.

- Ensure that the battery charger electrical cord is not subjected to damage or stress. Do not operate the battery charger if it has a damaged electrical cord or plug.

- Do not use the charger in wet areas or expose it to rain or water.

- The typical estimated life of a Lithium-Ion battery is about two to three years or 300 to 500 charge cycles, whichever occurs first. One charge cycle is a period of use from fully charged, to fully discharged, and fully recharged again

- Explosion hazard – protect the battery against heat; for example, direct sunlight and fire. Do not store batteries in vehicles or locations subject to heat.

- Batteries can explode in the presence of an ignition source, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open flame. Exploding batteries can propel debris and chemicals.

- Do not open the battery – danger of short-circuiting and/or explosion.

- Do not attempt to destroy or disassemble the battery pack or remove any of its components.

- Do not touch the battery terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as short-circuit and/or personal injury may result.

- Explosion hazard – do not open and/or short-circuit the battery.

- Poison hazard – battery leakage (liquid ejection). Under extreme conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery – avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, immediately seek medical attention, and flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, immediately seek medical attention, flush with clean water for at least 10 minutes. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

- Dispose of non-serviceable batteries in an environmentally responsible manner and according to local regulations.

Failure to adhere to the requirements above may result in the battery becoming inoperative or battery life being reduced. In extreme cases or abuse, battery overheating or fire may result.
