WARNING!

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this machine.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term „machine“ in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) machine or battery-operated (cordless) machine.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate machines in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Machines create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a machine. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) machines.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose machines to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a machine will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the machine. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a machine outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a machine in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a machine. Do not use a machine while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating machines may result in serious personal injury.
b) 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.
c) 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 machine. Carrying machines with your finger on the switch or energising machines that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the machine on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the machine in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) 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.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of machines allow you to become complacent and ignore machine safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

4) Machine use and care

a) Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine for your application. The correct machine will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any machine that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the machine before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing machines. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the machine accidentally.
d) Store idle machines out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the machine or these instructions to operate the machine. Machines are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain machines and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the machine's operation. If damaged, have the machine repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained machines.
f) Keep cutting machines sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting machines with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the machine, accessories and machine bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the machine for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) 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 machine in unexpected situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) 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.
b) Use machines only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) 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.

d) 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.
e) Do not use a battery pack or machine that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or machine to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or machine outside the temperature range specified in the instructions.

Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

6) Service

a) Have your machine serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the machine is maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.

1.2.2 Safety instructions for chain saws

1) General chain saw safety warnings:

a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) Wear eye protection. Further protective equipment for hearing, head, hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective equipment will reduce personal injury from flying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
e) Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder, from a rooftop, or any unstable support. Operation of a chain saw in this manner could result in serious personal injury.
f) 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.

g) 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.

h) 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.

i) 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.

j) Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing the bar and chain. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.

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

m) This chain saw is not intended for tree felling. Use of the chain saw for operations different than intended could result in serious injury to the operator or bystanders.

2) 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 chain saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

a) 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.

b) 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.

c) 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.

d) Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.

Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.

1.2.3 Explanation of chainsaw safety features Switch-on lock [Fig. A1]

The switch-on lock ^12 prevents the start lever ^10 from being pressed when the chainsaw is switched off. This prevents unintentional startup.

Motor brake

The motor brake stops the saw chain as soon as the start lever ⑩ is released. This reduces the risk of injury from a running saw chain.

Front hand guard [Fig. A1]

The front hand guard ① protects the left hand from being injured by the saw chain if the saw chain jumps out of the notch in the guide bar ④ or breaks.

Chain brake [Fig. A1]

The front hand guard ①is also the chain brake handle①.

The chain brake is disabled when the chain brake handle ① is pulled backwards and locked.

The chain brake is enabled when the chain brake handle ① is pressed forwards toward the guide bar ④. This then blocks the running saw chain in a fraction of a second.

The chain brake is enabled:

- If the chain brake handle ① is pushed forwards towards the guide bar ④ with your left hand (to check the function) or

- If your wrist pushes the chain brake handle① forwards due to kickback.

The chain brake cannot prevent kickback. It only reduces the risk of injury if the guide bar ④ strikes the user's body in the event of kickback.

Before using the chainsaw, always check that the chain brake is working properly in the working position.

If the chain brake does not work, you must not use the chainsaw. In this case, contact FLYMO Service.

Rear hand guard [Fig. A1]

The rear hand guard ⑧ protects the right hand from being injured by the saw chain if the saw chain jumps out of the notch in the guide bar ④ or breaks.

Chain guard [Fig. A1]

The chain guard ② protects against injuries caused by the saw chain during transport and storage.

Chain catcher [Fig. A1]

The chain catcher ⑥ is located in the sprocket cover ⑦ and prevents the saw chain from being thrown toward the user if the saw chain jumps out of the notch in the guide bar ④ or breaks.

Setting the correct chain tension can prevent the saw chain from jumping out of the notch in the guide bar④ or breaking (see "2.4 Tightening the saw chain [Fig. A4]").

Error LED [Fig. 04]

The error LED Ⓦ indicates battery and chainsaw faults (see "6.1 Error table").

→Do not make any changes to the product that are not described in this manual.

3.4.1 Before starting

1. Check that the saw chain is ⑤ sharpened correctly (see "4.1 Sharpening the saw chain").
2. Check that the saw chain is ⑤ correctly tightened (see "2.4 Tightening the saw chain [Fig. A4]").
3. Check that there is sufficient chain oil in the reservoir (see "2.5.1 Adding chain oil [Fig. A5]).

3.4.2 Starting the chainsaw

The product is equipped with a two-hand safety device (start lever ⑩ and switch-on lock ⑫) that prevent the product from being switched on unintentionally.

1. Pull the chain guard ② away from the guide bar ④.
2. Insert the battery Ⓑ into the battery holder Ⓓ until it clicks into place.
3. Hold the chainsaw in an upright position with your left hand on the front handle ⑪ and your right hand on the rear handle ⑨.
4. If the chain brake handle ① is enabled, disable the chain brake handle ①.
5. Push the switch-on lock ⑫ forwards and pull the start lever ⑩ towards the rear handle ⑨. The chainsaw starts.
6. Check that the oil lubrication system works before using the chainsaw (see "2.5.2 Checking the oil lubrication system [Fig. A6]").

3.4.3 Stopping the chainsaw

1. Let go of the start lever ⑩.
   The chainsaw stops.
2. Wait for the saw chain ⑤ to stop moving.
3. Enable the chain brake handle ①.
4. Remove the battery Ⓑ.
5. Slide the chain guard ② over the guide bar④.
6. Rotate the chain tensioner ⑭ anticlockwise by one turn to release the tension in the saw chain.

The saw chain shortens as it cools down. This prevents the saw chain from being damaged when it cools down.

3.5 Transporting the chainsaw [Fig. A1/S3]

DANGER!

Risk of injury

If the chainsaw is ready for operation and is carried by the rear handle ^⑨ only using the switching elements, it is possible that the switch-on lock and ^⑫ the start lever could be accidentally ^⑩ activated at the same time and the chainsaw started. →Only transport the chainsaw by the front handle ^⑪ .

1. Enable the chain brake handle ①.
2. Slide the chain guard ② over the guide bar ④.
3. Remove the battery Ⓑ.
4. Transport the chainsaw by the front handle ⑪.

3.6 Sawing instructions

3.6.1 Sawing on a sawhorse [Fig. S4]

We recommend that first-time users should at least practise cutting round wood on a sawhorse ② or frame.

This is the safest way to use the chainsaw.

1. If possible, clamp the wood to the sawhorse.
2. Then saw from top to bottom. Make sure that you have a firm footing.

3.6.2 Using the spiked bumper [Fig. A1]

If possible, use the spiked bumper ③ to make safe cuts.

→To do so, press the spiked bumper③ into the bark or the surface of the trunk so that you can control the chainsaw more easily.

3.6.3 Sawing off branches

When sawing off branches, take care to ensure that other persons are not exposed to danger, that no supply lines are hit and that no damage is caused to property.

If a branch comes into contact with a supply line, inform the utility company immediately.

When sawing on a slope, the chainsaw operator should be positioned on the terrain above the branch being sawn because the branch is likely to roll or slip downhill after sawing.

Plan an escape route before sawing and clear the route if necessary.

Before sawing, check the natural inclination of the tree, the location of larger branches and the wind direction to assess the direction in which the branch will fall.

Remove any dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, clamps and wire from the branch.

3.6.4 Limbing [Fig S5]

Limbing means removing the branches from a felled tree. During limbing, do not initially cut larger, downward-facing branches that are supporting the tree. Remove smaller branches, as shown in Fig. S5, in one cut. Branches that are under tension should be cut from the bottom to the top to prevent the chainsaw from getting trapped.

3.6.5 Sectioning [Fig. S6/S7/S8/S9]

Sectioning means cutting a felled tree into sections. Make sure you have a firm footing and distribute your body weight evenly over both feet. If possible, the trunk should be supported and held in place by branches, beams or wedges. Follow the instructions in "3.6.1 Sawing on a sawhorse [Fig. S4]".

If the entire length of the tree trunk is lying evenly, as shown in Fig. S6, saw through it from above.

If the tree trunk is resting on one end, as shown in Fig. S7, first saw through one third of the trunk diameter from the bottom, then cut through the rest from the top at the level of the undercut.

If the tree trunk is resting on both ends, as shown in Fig. S8, first saw through one third of the trunk diameter from the top, then cut through two thirds from the bottom at the level of the top cut.

When sawing on a slope, always stand above the tree trunk, as shown in Fig. S9. To maintain full control at the moment of cutting through the trunk, reduce the downwards pressure toward the end of the cut without loosening your firm grip on the chainsaw handles. Make sure that the saw chain does not touch the ground. After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before removing the chainsaw. Always switch off the chainsaw motor before changing from tree to tree.

4. MAINTENANCE

DANGER!

Saw chains can cause lacerations

If the product starts unintentionally, people can be injured by the saw chain.

→Remove the battery before servicing the product.
→Wear protective gloves.

4.1 Checking the sharpness of the saw chain [Fig. A4]

If cutting performance decreases or the teeth ① are shorter than 3 mm, the saw chain should be replaced.

The battery chainsaw can only be used efficiently if the saw chain is in good condition and sharp. This also reduces the risk of any kickback.

The saw chain can be sharpened by any specialist dealer. Do not attempt to sharpen the saw chain yourself unless you have suitable tools and the required experience.

→Have the saw chain sharpened by a specialist dealer.
