not touch anything. Lack of attention during the
operation of the chain saw can cause the saw
chain to get entangled with your clothes or body.

13
2. Do not use the saw on a tree. Sawing a tree can
lead to a serious injury.
3. Always have a secure foothold and use the saw
only if you are standing on a xed, safe and level
surface. Slippery and unstable surfaces such as
ladders can lead to a loss of balance or the loss of
control of the chain saw.
4. If you saw away a branch, which is found under
tension, please be careful because there could be
a kickback. If the pressure of the wooden bre is
released, this can hit the user and / or bring the
saw out of control.
5. Be especially careful when cutting bushes and
young trees. The soft material can jam the chain
and can be thrown forward or throw you o
balance.
6. Carry the switched o chain saw at the front
handle with the switched-o saw away from your
body. During transport or when storing, always
use the chain guard. The proper handling of the
chain saw reduces the likelihood of unintended
contact with the moving saw chain.
7. Follow the instructions regarding lubrication,
chain tension and replacement of the accessories.
An improperly tensioned or oiled chain can break
or lead to an increased likelihood of a kickback.
8. The handles should be dry, clean and without
any oil or grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery
and lead to loss of control.
9. Saw only wood. Do not use the chain saw for
purposes not intended for it. For example: Do
not saw plastic, brickwork or other construction
material not made of wood. The use of the saw
for purposes other than what it was intended for,
could result in dangerous situations.
10. Keep a rm grip with the thumb and
ngers around the chain saws handles, both
hands on the saw and your body and arms in a
position, which can resist a kickback. The forces
of the kickback can be controlled if proper
precautionary measures are taken. Do not let go
of the saw.
11. Do not stretch too much forward and do
not saw over shoulder height. This prevents
accidental contact of the chain nose and allows
better control of the chain saw in unexpected
circumstances.
12. Use only replacement saw blades and chains,
which are specied by the manufacturer. Wrong
spare blades and chains can break the chain and/
or cause a kickback.
13. Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer regarding sharpening as well as
the maintenance instructions for the chain. The
reduction of the depth adjustment can lead to an
increased kickback.

8.4.3 Fill the oil tank (B12)
The prerequisite for a proper function and a long
product life cycle is a regular lubrication. You
should therefore check the oil tank in this device
before each start-up and ll oil as required.
Proceed as follows:
1. Open the cap of the oil reservoir. Remove oil
residues and other impurities by wiping the tank
cap and the oil ller neck with a cloth.
2. Fill in environmentally-friendly and
biodegradable chain lubricant oil in the oil
reservoir and plug it back subsequently. To rule

16
out the risk of a re as much as possible, when
lling, ensure that there are no oil residues are
found outside the tank. Always use a funnel to ll
the oil.
Notes:
- Never use waste oil for the chain lubrication.
- Waste oil does not have the necessary
lubrication properties, is harmful to the
environment and causes skin cancer due to
prolonged and repeated contact with the skin.
- Use only lube oil, which is a sucient resistance
to aging, so that it does not resinify and forms
solid deposits, which could damage the device.
- Always adhere to the specied oil intervals. This
device must be provided with new oil after a
working time of max. 15 min.

procedure
So that the injury or accident risk is reduced as
far as possible, it is important to be suciently
informed about the sawing procedures as well as
about the precautionary measures for accident
prevention.
Never position yourself directly under the branch,
which you want to saw. There is a very big risk
that the branch falls down unexpectedly on you.
In general it is recommended that the pruning
saw is set at an angle of 60° to the branch (B26).
- Hold the device well with both hands tightly
during the cutting process and make sure you
always pay attention to a balanced as well as a
good rm position.
- Never try to operate your tool with one hand.
Loss of control over your machine can cause
serious or fatal injuries. Never work on a ladder, a
branch of a tree or other unsafe substrates.
- Do not saw strong branches in one cut, but
always in several steps.
- Put the saw chain for cutting on the branch.
- Put a little pressure for guiding the device but
do not overload the engine.
-Clean the working area before cutting the
disruptive branches and undergrowth. Then
you create a retreat area, far from the area, on
which the cut branches could fall and remove all
obstacles. Keep the work area free, remove the
branches that have been cut o immediately.
Pay attention to your position, the wind direction
and the possible falling direction of the branches.
Please be prepared that the fallen branches could
hit back. Place all other tools and equipment in
a safe distance from the branches to be cut, but
not in the area of a backlash.
-Always observe the condition of the tree.
-Look for decay and rot in the roots and branches.
If these are decayed inside, they can break o
unexpectedly and fall down while cutting. Please
look out also for broken and dead branches,
which get loosened through shaking and
could fall on you. In case of very thick or heavy
branches, rst make a small cut under the branch
before you work from top to bottom, to prevent a
breakage.
9.2.2 Basic cutting technology
Heavy branches will slightly break when cutting
and while doing so long branch straps can tear

18
away from
the trunk, which damages the tree long term.
With the following technology you can reduce
this risk signicantly(see B25):
1. Saw the branch rst about 10 cm from the
trunk, at the branch’s lower side
2. Estimate another cut from above at a distance
of about 15 cm to the trunk. Saw it for so long till
the branch breaks. The risk of a breach in a bark
at the trunk is no longer there any more
3. Finally, remove the remaining snag with a
clean cut along the top of the trunk
So that the damages to the tree are kept as low as
possible, we recommend seal up the cut surface
in addition with tree wax seal.
9.2.3 Dangers caused by reactive forces
Reactive forces come during the operation of
the saw chain. In this, the force, which should be
used on the wood is eected on the operator.
This happens when the operating chain comes in
contact with a solid object such as a branch or is
jammed. These forces can lead to a loss of control
and injury from it. Understanding the origin of
these forces can help you determine the moment
of shock and to avoid the loss of control.
This saw is designed in such a way that the
rebound eects are not felt as in the case of
conventional chain saws. Nevertheless always
keep a rm grip and a good position, to have
control over the tool in case of doubt.
The most common eects are:
• backlash,
• rebound,
• retraction.
Backlash
The backlash can take place if the operating saw
chain at the upper area of the guide rail comes in
contact with a xed object or if it is jammed (see
B27).
The cutting force of the chain exerts a rotational
force on the saw in the opposite direction to the
movement of the chain.
This leads to an upward movement of the guide
rail.
Avoid backlash
The best protection is to avoid situations that
lead to backlashes.
1. Keep your eyes on the position of the upper
guide rail always.
2. Let this area never come in contact with an
object. Do not cut anything with it. Be especially
careful in the vicinity of wire fences and when
cutting small, hard branches, in which the chain
can become slightly jammed.
3. Cut only one branch at a time.
A = Retraction (see B28)
The retraction takes place if the chain suddenly
gets stuck at the lower side of the rail, since it
is jammed or comes in contact with a foreign
body in the wood. The chain then pulls the saw
forward. The retraction happens often when
the chain during contact with the wood is not
running at full speed.
Avoid backlash
1. Be aware of the forces and situations, which
could lead to the jamming of the chain at the
rail's bottom part.
2. Always start with the chain running at full
speed cutting for cutting.
B = Rebound (see B29)
The rebound takes place if the chain gets stuck
on the top side of the rail suddenly, since it is
jammed or if it comes in contact with a foreign
body in the wood. The chain can press the saw
jerkily against the operator. Rebounds happen
often when the rail's upper side is used for
cutting.
Avoid rebounds
- Danger of backlash! There is always danger
of backlash, if the blade tips come into contact
with branches or other objects. The brush cutter
becomes uncontrollable due to this and can
pushed with great force in the direction of the
operator.

19
1. Be aware of the forces and situations, which
can lead to jamming of the chain at the rail's top
side.
2. Do not cut more than a branch at a time.
3. Do not tilt the rail to the side when you drag
it from a cutting gap, since the chain could be
otherwise jammed.
9.3 Working with the grass trimmer/ brush
cutter
- Familiarize yourself - if the device is switched o
- rst with the operation and holding, if you are
working with the brush cutter work for the rst
time.
- The brush cutter has to be designed in such a
way that they are held by the operator only on
the right side of the body’s side.
- Hold the brush cutter tight always with both
hands on the handles.
- Hold the operating handle with your right hand
and with the left hand the handle of the hand
bar.
- Work with high speed, and thus you will have
the best cutting results.
- Hold the device with evenly curved movement
from left to right and back again.
Then cut the next length.
Caution: Direct the device always back only again
to the initial position before you cut the next
length.
- If you bump into a stone or a tree while working,
switch o the machine and disconnect the plug.
Caution: When working in dicult terrain and
slopes, please be especially careful. In case of
high grass, cut gradually in order not to overload
the device. First cut the tips, work then gradually.
Always wear safety glasses and a hearing
protection and during deforestation work, a
protective helmet.
9.3.1 Mowing with a thread head
- Use the thread cartridge to maintain a clean cut
also of uneven edges, fence posts and trees.
- Guide the trim line carefully past an obstacle
and cut with the thread tip around the obstacle.
In case the trim line comes in contact with rocks,
trees and walls, the thread becomes frayed
prematurely or breaks.
- Never replace the plastic thread never by a
metal wire - Risk of injury!
9.3.2 Mowing with a cutter blade
- Use the cutter blade to thin out scrub,
uncontrolled growth, young stocks of trees
(maximum 2 cm trunk diameter) and tall grass.
- While using the metal cutting tools, there is
always the danger of a backlash, if the tool comes
into contact with a solid obstacle (rocks, trees,
branches etc.).
While doing so, the device is thrown back against
the direction of rotation.
- In case of uncontrolled growth and scrub, let
the cutter blade to "dive" from above. Through
this, the material to be cut is chopped.
ATTENTION: Follow the procedures for this work
technology with caution, because the greater the
distance of the cutting tool to the ground, the
greater the risk that the material to be cut and
foreign objects are thrown to the side.
For an adequate protective equipment during
the use, care has to be taken as per the operating
instructions. All other usages are ruled out. The
user / operator is responsible for injuries resulting
damage or injury due to incorrect use. and not
the manufacturer. Only 3-teeth blades suitable
for the machine as mentioned in the operating
manual may be used.
- To comb through young stocks of trees and for
cutting grass, hold the device such as a string
trimmer close to the ground.
ATTENTION: Incorrect use and abuse can
damage the cutter blade and cause serious injury
through the parts that are hurled down.
- To reduce the risk of accident due to the cutter
blade, note the following points:
- Never cut shrubs or wood with more than 2 cm
in diameter
- Avoid contact with the metal bodies, stones, etc.
- Check the cutter blade regularly for damage.
Never use damaged cutter blade again.
- If the cutter blade is noticeably dulled, it must
be sharpened by a qualied specialist, as per the

20
specications. In case of noticeable imbalance,
the cutter blade must be replaced.
9.3.3 Trim-line Automatic
The brush cutter is delivered with a full spool
holder.
The thread becomes worn out during the work.
So that new thread is supplied, press the shutter
release at the spool holder vigorously on the
ground.
The thread is automatically released by the
centrifugal force. Through the blade at the
cutting guard, the trim thread is shortened on
the correct length.
10. Maintenance
Use only original spare parts while doing
maintenance work. Using any other parts may
be dangerous and damage the device.
Warning: Always stop the engine, wait until
all moving parts have completely come to a
standstill and disconnect the power supply
before you examine, clean or maintain the
device. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in damage to property and serious
and fatal injury.
11. Cleaning and Storage
Clean the clamping mechanism regularly by
blowing it out it with compressed air or by
cleaning with a brush.
Do not use any tools for cleaning. Clean the
device if required, with a damp cloth and, if
necessary, with a mild detergent.
If the chain saw is not used for a longer period
of time, then remove the chain oil from the tank.
Place the saw chain and the sword briey in an
oil bath and then wrap it in oil blotting paper.
Caution!
Before every cleaning, remove the plug from the
wall socket
Never immerse the appliance in water or any
other liquid for cleaning.
Keep the garden tool in a safe and dry place and
out of the reach of children.
12. Notes on environmental protection
/ Disposal
Transport the device for a proper
disposal once it has been used.
Do not dispose of the device through the normal
household waste, but hand it at a collection
point for electronic devices, in the interest of
environmental protection. Your local council will
be pleased to inform you about the addresses
and opening hours. You may also hand over the
packaging materials and worn accessories to the
designated collection poin
