Safety instructions
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety
warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions
for future reference.
The term „power tool“ in the warn-
ings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-oper-
ated (cordless) power tool.
1 WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
b) Do not operate power tools in ex-
plosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
2 ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. 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 re-
frigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. 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 power tool out-
doors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool 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 do-
ing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alco-
hol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious person-
al injury.
b) Use personal protective equip-
ment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Protective equipment such as
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 o-po-
sition before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, pick-
ing up or carrying the tool. Carry-
ing power tools with your finger
on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on in-
vites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power

EN
4
tool on. A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal
injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situa-
tions.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the con-
nection of dust extraction and col-
lection 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 tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless
action can cause severe injury
within a fraction of a second.
4 POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your ap-
plication. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and o.
Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is danger-
ous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, chang-
ing accessories, or storing pow-
er tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of start-
ing the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not al-
low persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of mov-
ing parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may af-
fect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool re-
paired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking
into account the working con-
ditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for
operations dierent from those in-
tended could result in a hazardous
situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping sur-
faces dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the
tool 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 power tools only with spe-
cifically 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 ob-
jects, like paper clips, coins, keys,

EN
5
nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connec-
tion from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals to-
gether may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid
may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If contact acciden-
tally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irrita-
tion or burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool
that is damaged or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behav-
iour resulting in fire, explosion or
risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or
tool to fire or excessive tempera-
ture. Exposure to fire or tempera-
ture above 130 °C may cause ex-
plosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions
and do not charge the battery
pack or tool outside the tempera-
ture range specified in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified
range may damage the battery
and increase ther isk of fire.
6 SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced
by a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery
packs. Service of battery packs
should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized ser-
vice providers.
7 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
POLE CHAIN SAWS
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 con-
tacting anything. A moment of
inattention while operating chain
saws may cause entanglement
of your clothing or body with the
saw chain.
b) Hold the electric power tool by
the insulated handle surfaces, as
the saw chain may contact hid-
den wiring. If the saw chain comes
into contact with a live line, metal-
lic parts of the unit may become
energised and cause an electric
shock.
c) Wear safety glasses and hear-
ing protection. Further protec-
tive 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.
d) Do not work with the chain saw
in a tree. When operating the
chain saw in a tree, there is a risk
of injury.
e) Always keep proper footing and
operate the chain saw only when
standing on fixed, secure and
level surface. Slippery or unsta-
ble surfaces such as ladders may
cause a loss of balance or control
of the chain saw.
f) When cutting a limb that is under
tension be alert for spring back.
When the tension in the wood fi-
bres is released the spring loaded
limb may strike the operator and/
or throw the chain saw out of con-
trol.
g) Use extreme caution when cut-
ting brush and saplings. The slen-
der material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you
or pull you o balance.
h) Carry the chain saw by the
front handle with the chain saw

EN
6
switched o and away from your
body. When transporting or stor-
ing 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.
i) Follow instructions for lubri-
cating, chain tensioning and
changing accessories. Improp-
erly tensioned or lubricated chain
may either break or increase the
chance for kickback.
j) Keep the handles dry, clean and
free of oil and grease. Greasy and
oily handles are slippery and will
cause loss of control.
k) Saw wood only. Do not use the
chain saw for work for which it is
not designed.
Example: Do not use the chain
saw for sawing plastic, masonry
or non-wood building materials.
If the chain saw is not used as in-
tended, this may result in hazard-
ous situations.
8 CAUSES OF AND AVOIDING A
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 reac-
tion, 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 ex-
clusively 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 operat-
ing 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 bars and
chains specified by the manufac-
turer. Incorrect replacement bars
and chains may cause chain break-
age and/or kickback.
d) Follow the manufacturer’s sharp-
ening and maintenance instruc-
tions for the saw chain. Decreas-
ing the depth gauge height can
lead to increased kickback.

Lubricating the chain
Caution! The unit may be op-
erated with adequate chain
lubricating oil only. Inadequate lu-
brication will reduce the service
life of the power tool.
1. Check the chain oil level at the oil
level indicator and top up with
chain oil if required.
2. Fill the unit only with an envi-
ronmentally compatible quality
chain and bar lubricant (accord-
ing to RAL-UZ48).
3. Do not use waste oil. Renewed
contact with waste oil can cause
skin cancer. Waste oil is environ-
mentally harmful. Waste oil does
not have the necessary lubricat-
ing properties and is unsuitable
for chain lubrication.
4. Any oil other than the one recom-
mended may damage the guide
bar, the chain and the lubricating
system.
5. Ensure that dirt does not get into
the oil tank.
6. Avoid spilling oil. Always wipe up
any spilled oil.
Checking the chain lubrication
1. Start the unit (see “Switching on/
o”).
2. Hold running pole saw chain for
some time approx. 15 cm above
a suitable surface. If there is ad-
equate chain lubrication, the oil
which is ejectedby the saw chain
will form a light trail.

EN

Using the device
Warning! Before using the
power tool, familiarise your-
self thoroughly with the sawing
technique of pole chain saws (see
section “Basic working tech-
nique”). Risk of injury! Never allow
children to operate the pole chain
saw. Allow no person to use this
pole chain saw who has not read
this user manual or received ade-
quate instructions for the safe and
proper use of this pole chain saw!
Warning! Hold the pole chain
saw firmly with both hands!
Ensure that the saw chain does not
touch any objects or the ground
and that there are no people or
animals in the vicinity before start-
ing! Risk of injury!
Before each use
• Check that all parts of the garden
tool are present, firmly attached
and undamaged.
• Check that the chain tension is cor-
rect.
• Check the chain lubrication.
• Check that there are no leaks.
• Ensure that you wear the adequate
personal protective equipment.
Correct posture
Warning!
• Never work on unstable ground!
• Never work while standing on a
ladder!
• Do not bend too far forwards
when working!
• Use the garden tool only when
the weather conditions and ter-
rain are favourable!
• Stand with both legs firmly on the
ground.

Basic working
technique
Warning! The information
given here does not replace
the extensive training and experi-
ence of a specialist.
Warning! Avoid any work for
which you are not adequate-
ly qualified! Imprudent handling
of the power tool may result in ex-
tremely serious to fatal injuries!
Danger! Stand on uphill side
when cutting! Log may roll.
Push stroke sawing
With this technique the upper side of
the guide bar saws from bottom to
top. The saw chain pushes the power
tool backwards towards the user.
Pull stroke sawing
With this technique the underside of
the guide bar saws from top to bot-
tom.
After use
• Stop the engine.
• Wait until all rotating parts have
come to a standstill.
• Remove the battery.
• Place guide bar cover on cutting
mechanism.
• Leave power tool to cool down.
Warning! The saw chain con-
tinues to operate briefly after
the On/O switch is released.
Caution! Always switch the
motor o before you put the
power tool down!

EN
15
The saw chain pushes the power tool
forwards away from the user. The
front edge of the power tool forms
a support which absorbs the forces
which occur when sawing on the
tree trunk. In pull stroke sawing the
user has much more control over the
power tool and can better avoid kick-
backs. Therefore this sawing tech-
nique should be used preferably.
Warning! If the guide bar
jams, the garden tool may
be thrown back towards the user
with great force. If the user does
not use his physical strength to
compensate for the force of the
saw chain pushing backwards,
there is a risk that only the tip of
the guide bar will make contact
with the wood and cause a kick-
back. Risk of death or extremely
severe injuries!
Removing branches
2.
1.
3.
• Always work on the side opposite
the branch in question.
• Start at the bottom of the trunk
and work upwards.
• 10–15 cm from the base of the
branch saw upwards into the
branch 1/3 of the branch diameter
(1.).
• A little further up the branch saw
through the branch from top to
bottom (2.).
• Make a cut close to the trunk (3.).
Make the cut from top to bottom.
• When limbing trunks lying flat on
the ground, first always saw o
the branches pointing upwards.
Do not cut through supporting
branches until the trunk has been
sawn into lengths.
Warning! Branches which
are supported or under ten-
sion may wedge the saw chain in
the wood!
