Jamming
If the cutting blade jams as a result of attempting
to cut vegetation that is too dense, switch off the
motor immediately. Remove grass and scrub from
the tool before you restart it.
Preventing kickback
When you work with the cutting blade, there
is a risk of kickback if it strikes solid objects
such as tree trunks, branches, tree stumps,
stones or the like. This will throw the equipment
backwards in the direction opposite to the rotation
of the tool. This can cause you to lose control
of the equipment. Do not use the cutting blade
near fences, metal posts, boundary stones or
foundations. For cutting dense stalks, position the
blade as shown in Fig. 39 to prevent recoil.
7.2 Working with the telescoping pole chain
saw
Preparations
To ensure that you can work safely, check the
following points before every use:
Condition of the telescoping pole chain saw
Before you start your work, check the cordless
telescoping pole chain saw for damage to the
housing, the saw chain and the cutter rail. Never
use equipment which is obviously damaged.
Oil container
Check the oil level in the oil container. Both
before and during your work make sure that there
is always suffi cient oil in the system. To avoid
damaging the cordless telescoping chain saw,
never run the saw if there is no oil in the system
or if the oil level drops below the "min" mark. On
average, a single fi lling will last for 15 minutes
depending on the number of pauses in cutting
and the loads involved.
Saw chain
Check the tension of the saw chain and the
condition of the cutting elements. The sharper the
saw chain, the easier and more controllable it is to
operate the cordless telescoping pole chain saw.
The same applies to the chain tension. For greater
safety you must check the chain tension at least
every 10 minutes during your work. New chains in
particular tend to expand more.

Safety clothing
Always wear appropriate tight-fi tting safety
clothing such as special trousers which protect
against cuts, protective gloves and safety shoes.
Hearing protection and protective goggles
Wear a protective helmet with integral face and
hearing protection. This will off er protection
against falling and recoiling branches.
Safe working
•
To ensure that you can work in safety you
must use the tool at a working angle of max.
60°.
•
Never stand under the branch you want to
saw.
•
Use special caution when working with
branches under tension and with splintering
wood.
•
Possible risk of injury from falling branches
and pieces of wood catapulted into the
surroundings!
•
When the tool is in operation, keep other
persons and animals away from the danger
zone.
•
The tool is not protected from electric shock
through contact with high-voltage cables.
Keep a minimum distance of 33 ft (10 m) from
live cables. Electric shock can cause fatal
injury.
•
When working on slopes always stand to the
upper or left or right side of the branch you
want to cut.
•
Hold the tool as close as possible to your
body. This will help you to keep your balance.

Cutting techniques

•
When removing branches, hold the tool at an
angle of max. 60° to the horizontal to avoid
being hit by a falling branch (Fig. 40).
•
Start with the bottom branches on the tree.
This will make it easier for the cut branches to
drop.
•
After completing a cut, the weight of the saw
will abruptly increase for the operator as the
saw is no longer supported by the branch.
This can result in you losing control over the
saw.
•
Remove the saw from the cut only with the
saw chain still running. This will prevent the
saw from getting jammed.
•
Never cut with the tip of the saw.
•
Never cut into the bulging branch collar. This
will prevent the tree from healing.
