You should get used to your new chain saw by making
simple cuts on securely supported wood. Do this
whenever you have not operated the saw for some time.
To reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting
moving parts, always stop the motor, apply the chain
brake, remove the battery pack and make sure all moving
parts have come to a stop before:
• cleaning or clearing a blockage
• leaving the machine unattended
• installing or removing attachments
• checking, conducting maintenance or working on the
machine
The size of the work area depends on the job being
performed as well as the size of the tree or work piece
involved.For example, felling a tree requires a larger work
area than making other cuts, i.e., bucking cuts, etc. The
operator needs to be aware and in control of everything
happening in the work area.
Do not cut with your body in line with the guide bar and
chain.If you experience kickback, this will help prevent
the chain coming into contact with your head or body.
Do not use a back-and-forward sawing motion, let the
chain do the work.Keep the chain sharp and do not try to
push the chain through the cut.
Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of the cut.Be
ready to take on the weight of the saw as it cuts free from
the wood. Failure to do so could result in possible serious
personal injury.
Do not stop the saw in the middle of a cutting operation.
Keep the saw running until it is already removed from the
cut.Do not fix the on/off switch in the „on" position when
using the saw hand-held.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the
appliance.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and
product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse
your device, battery pack or charger in fluid or al-low a
fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids,
such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach
or bleach containing products, etc., Can cause a short
circuit.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store
only in dry rooms. Keep dry at all times.
Prior to commissioning, check the following points on the
pole-mounted pruner:
- Correct position of shoulder strap and inspection of the
quick release mechanism
- Damage to the device like cracks on the guide rail
- Correct guide rail seating
- Installation/running direction of the problem-free
(sharp) saw chain
- Saw chain tension (in case of a new chain, check and
readjust this multiple times)
- Functioning chain lubrication
Check the automatic chain lubrication
Regularly check the function of the automatic chain lub-
rication to prevent overheating and associated damage
to the blade and saw chain. To do this, point the tip of
the sword against a smooth surface (board, section of a
tree) and let the chainsaw run. If an increasing amount of
oil becomes visible during this procedure, the automatic
chain lubrication is working properly.
WARNING! Danger of injury!
If the shoulder strap is not detached promptly in an
emergency, serious injuries can result.
WARNING
Keep your working position in mind to ensure safe
working. Do not use the pole-mounted pruner from
a ladder or other unsafe position. Ensure that you
have firm footing and use appropriate protective
clothing. Do not be tempted to make ill-considered
cuts. This can endanger yourself and others.
Cutting springpoles
A springpole is any log, branch, rooted stump, or sapling
which is bent under tension by other wood so that it
springs back if the wood holding it is cut or removed.
On a fallen tree, a rooted stump has a high potential of
springing back to the upright position during the bucking
cut to separate the log from the stump. Watch out for
springpoles—they are dangerous.
WARNING
Springpoles are dangerous and could strike the
operator, causing the operator to lose control of the
chain saw. This could result in severe or fatal injury
to the operator. This should be done by trained
users.
Some regions have regulations that restrict the use of the
machine. Check with your local authority for advice.
Never allow children or people unfamiliar with the
instructions to use the machine. Local regulations may
restrict the age of the operator.
Ensure before each use that all controls and safety
devices function correctly. Do not use the machine if the
"off" switch does not stop the motor.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing, short trousers, or
jewellery of any kind.
Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level to prevent
entanglement in moving parts.
Beware of thrown, flying, or falling objects. Keep all
bystanders, children, and animals at least 15 m away from
the work area.
Do not operate in poor lighting. The operator requires a
clear view of the work area to identify potential hazards.
Use of hearing protection reduces the ability to hear
warnings (shouts or alarms). The operator must pay extra
attention to what is going on in the work area.
Operating similar tools nearby increases both the risk
of hearing injury and the potential for other persons to
enter your work area.
