General power tool
safety warnings
WARNING!
► Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the safety instructions and
other instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
NOTE
► National regulations may restrict the use of
the appliance.
Save all safety instructions and other instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the safety instructions
refers to your mains-operated (cable) power tools
or battery-operated (cableless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable 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
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric 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 cable. Never use the cable
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cable away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cables increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cable suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cable 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 doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are ill,
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear safety goggles. 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 off position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached 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 situations.

PAHE 20-Li A1
■ 6 │ GB│CY
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use
of dust collection systems can can reduce dust-
related hazards.
4. Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. 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 is
defective. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous 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, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children. Do not allow 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 moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired 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 conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations other from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5. Use and handling of the cableless
electrical power tool
a) Charge a rechargeable battery unit using
only the charger recommended by the manu-
facturer. Chargers are often designed for a
particular type of rechargeable battery. There
is a risk of fire if other types of rechargeable
battery are used.
b) Only the rechargeable battery units supplied
are to be used with the power tools. The use
of other rechargeable battery units may lead
to the danger of injury or fire.
c) When they are not being used, store re-
chargeable battery units away from paper
clips, coins, keys. nails, screws or other small
metal objects that could cause the contacts to
be bridged. Short-circuiting the contacts of a
rechargeable battery may result in burns or fire.
d) Fluid may leak out of rechargeable batteries
if they are misused. If this happens, avoid
contact with the fluid. If accidental contact oc-
curs, rinse the affected area with water. Seek
additional medical help if any of the fluid
gets into your eyes. Escaping battery fluid may
cause skin irritation or burns.
CAUTION! RISK OF EXPLOSION!
Never charge non-rechargeable
batteries.
Protect the battery from heat, e.g.
also from continuous sunlight, fire,
water and humidity. There is a risk of
explosion.
6. Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only original replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.

Precautions against kickback
CAUTION! KICKBACK!
► Be aware of the danger of kickback when
working with the appliance. There is a risk
of personal injury.
You can avoid kickbacks by being careful
and using the correct sawing technique.
■ Contact with the tip of the rail can, in some
cases, lead to an unexpected rearwards
reaction resulting in the guide rail flying
upwards towards the operator (see Fig. 1).
Fig. 1
■ Kickbacks can occur if the tip of the guide rail
touches an object or if the wood bends and the
saw chain gets caught in the cut (see Fig. 2).
Fig. 2
■ If the saw chain jams in the upper edge of
the guide rail , the rail can kick back violently
towards the operator.
■ Any such reaction can lead to you losing
control over the saw and possibly injuring your-
self. Do not rely solely on the chainsaw's built-in
safety devices. As the user of a chainsaw,
you can take a number of measures to avoid
accidents and injury. A kickback is caused by
incorrect use or misuse of the power tool. It can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below:
■Hold the saw firmly with both hands, with
your thumb and finger around the handles of
the chainsaw. Hold your body and arms in a
position in which you can withstand kickback
forces. If suitable measures are taken, the op-
erator can control the recoil forces. Never
let go of the chainsaw.
■Avoid an abnormal posture. This will prevent
inadvertent contact with the tip of the rail and
allows a better control of the chainsaw in unex-
pected situations.
■Always use the replacement rails and saw
chains specified by the manufacturer. Incor-
rect replacement rails and saw chains can lead
to a tearing of the saw chain and/or kickback.
■Follow the manufacturer's instructions for
sharpening and maintenance of the saw
chain. Setting the depth stop too low can
increase the risk of kickback.
■Do not saw with the tip of the blade.
This can lead to kickback.
■Ensure that there are no objects on the
ground that you can trip over.
Further safety instructions

tor is responsible for third parties within the
warking area.
■ Keep the appliance, the cutting mechanism and
the blade guard in good condition to prevent
injury.
■ Before each use, check the appliance for worn,
loose or deformed parts. This ensures that the
safety of the appliance is maintained.
■ Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
■ Do not use the appliance until you have famil-
iarised yourself with its use.

PAHE 20-Li A1 GB│CY │ 9 ■
■ Do not work with a damaged or incomplete
appliance or an appliance that has been modi-
fied without the consent of the manufacturer.
Never use the unit with defective protective
equipment. Do not use the appliance if it has a
defective on/off switch. Before use, check the
security state of the appliance, especially the
blade and the saw chain. If the appliance has
been dropped, check for significant damage or
defects.
■ Never start the appliance before the blade,
saw chain and sprocket covers have been fitted
correctly.
■ When starting and operating the appliance, en-
sure that it does not come into contact with the
ground, stones, wire or other foreign material.
Switch the appliance off before you put it down.
■ The device is designed for two-handed opera-
tion. Never work with one hand.
■ Hold the appliance only by the insulated han-
dles as the saw chain could come into contact
with hidden power lines. Contact between the
saw chain and a live wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool live and could
give the operator an electric shock.
■ Make sure that the appliance is switched off
when relocating the appliance and that you
cannot accidentally touch the on/off switch.
Carry the appliance with the saw chain and
blade facing backwards. Fit the blade guard
during transportation.
■ Attach the bumper spike firmly before every
cut and do not start until this has been done.
■ Be extremely careful when sawing small bushes
and branches. The thin branches and twigs can
catch in the saw and fly in your direction or
knock you off balance.
■ Do not cut any wood that is lying on the ground
and do not attempt to saw roots that are pro-
truding from the soil. Avoid immersing the saw
chain in the soil at all costs, as this could blunt
the saw chain.
■ When sawing a branch under tension, be
aware of the possibility of the branch flying
back once the tension is suddenly removed.
There is a risk of personal injury.
■ Do not use force to free the appliance if the
cutting tools get caught or jammed in branches.
Switch the appliance off immediately and do
not switch it on until the blockage has been
removed. There is a risk of personal injury!
■ We recommend attending a course on the use
and maintenance of pole pruners and also a
first aid course. After prolonged periods of non-
use, and for practice, you should always make
simple cuts in securely supported wood before
starting in order to re-familiarise yourself with
the appliance.

injury from the sharp cutting teeth!
♦ Undo the fixing screw .
♦ Turn the chain tensioning ring in a clockwise
direction to increase the tension.
♦ The saw chain must lie against the underside
of the blade.
Check whether the saw chain can be drawn
over the blade by hand .
♦ Now tighten the fixing screw completely.
NOTE
► A new saw chain stretches and must be
tightened more regularly.
Lubricating the chain
♦ Remove the oil filler cap .
♦ Fill the oil tank with approx. 65ml of organic
chain oil .
WARNING!
► Never work without chain lubrication!
If the saw chain runs dry, the cutting
equipment may become irreparably dam-
aged within a short time. Always check chain
lubrication and oil level in the tank before
starting work.
NOTE
► Use only saw chain oil. Preferably biodegrad-
able. Do not use waste oil, motor oil, etc.
► While working, check whether the automatic
chain lubrication is working correctly. Check
the chain lubricator before and during work.
Sharpening the saw chain
NOTE
► You will find detailed information on
sharpening in the sharpening set, e.g. from
Oregon.
► Alternatively, you can use an electrical saw
chain sharpening device and follow the
instructions of the manufacturer.
► If you have any doubts about implementing the
work, the saw chain should be replaced.

PAHE 20-Li A1 GB│CY │ 13 ■
Sawing off small branches
♦ Saw small branches (Ø 0–8 cm) from the top
down (see figure).
Sawing off larger branches
♦ When sawing larger branches (Ø 8–20 cm),
first make a relief cut A (see figure).
NOTE
► A relief cut must not be carried out with an
angle-adjusted saw head. There is a risk of
kick-back and the device becomes uncont-
rollable.
■ A relief cut also prevents peeling of the bark on
the main trunk.
♦ Saw from the top B to the bottom A .
Saw in sections
Long or thick branches should be shortened before
making the final cut (see figure).
