Additional Safety and Working
Instructions
Ensure all guards, handles, and spiked bumper are pro-
perly fitted and are in good condition.
Persons using the chain saw should be in good health.
The chain saw is heavy, so the operator must be physi-
cally fit.
The operator should be alert, have a good vision, mobili-
ty, balance, and manual dexterity. If there is any doubt, do
not operate the chain saw.
Do not start using the chain saw until you have a clear
work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path
away from a falling tree. Beware of the emission of
lubricant mist and saw dust.Wear a mask or respirator, if
required.
Do not cut vines and/or small undergrowth (less than 75
mm in diameter).
Always hold the chain saw with both hands during ope-
ration. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling
the chain saw handles. Right hand must be on the rear
handle and left hand on the front handle.
Before starting the chain saw, make sure the saw chain is
not contacting any object
Watch out for falling branches and stumble Not. Branches
hitting the ground can snap up and cause injury.
Do not modify the chain saw in any way or use it to power
any attachments or devices not recommended by the
manufacturer for your chain saw.
There should be a first-aid kit containing large wound
dressings and a means to summon attention (e.g., whist-
le) close to the operator. A larger more comprehensive kit
should be reasonably nearby.
An incorrectly tensioned chain can jump off the guide bar
and could result in serious injury or fatality. The length of
the chain depends on the temperature. Check the tension
frequently.
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
