IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

IMPORTANT?: READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE. KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

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 warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

1. 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.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. 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.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
6. 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.
7. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Personal safety

1. 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 tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. 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.
7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

Power tool use and care

1. 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.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. 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.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and 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.
5. 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.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. 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 different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Service

1. Have your power tools serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that safety of the power tool is maintained.

Pruner safety warnings

2. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain. Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut when saw chain is moving. Make sure the switch is off when clearing jammed material. A moment of inattention while operating the product may result in serious personal injury.
3. Hold the product by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Saw chains contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the product “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
4. Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
5. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the product is operating. Before you start the product, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating products may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
6. Always hold the product with both hands on the handle and soft grip. Holding the product with only one hand or on parts not intended for that increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done.
7. Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective 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.
8. Do not operate a product in a tree. Operation of a product while up in a tree may result in personal injury.
9. Always keep proper footing and operate the product only when standing on fixed, secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the product.
10. When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres is released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the product out of control.
11. Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
12. Carry the product by the soft grip with the product switched off and away from your body. When transporting or storing the product always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the product will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
13. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.

21. Remove branches in section.
22. Use the harness provided.

Causes and operator prevention of 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 reaction, 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 exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw.
• As a product 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 operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
  1. Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the product 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 product.
  2. Do not overreach. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better control of the product in unexpected situations.
  3. Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
  4. Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.

Vibration and noise reduction

Pole saw assembly
A. Saw Chain Assembly
WARNING: Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use protective gloves when handling saw chain. The machine must be unplugged before any assembly activities.

• The guide bar and saw chain are supplied separately (use only a guide bar and saw chain according to the technical data of the pole saw). To prevent injury on the sharp cutting edges, always wear gloves when assembling, tensioning and checking the chain.

• Before assembling the guide bar with the saw chain, check the cutting direction of the teeth: The running direction is marked with an arrow.

• Place the product on a suitable flat surface with the sprocket cover facing upwards.

• Place the saw chain round the sprocket and make sure it is correctly mounted.
  

• Using one hand to hold the bar and chain. Place the guide sprocket cover on top. Make sure part a, b, c of the cover match the corresponding positions A, B, C on the machine, and they are firmly fixed together. You may hear the click when part c is successfully inserted which means the sprocket cover is fitted.
  

• Tensioning the saw chain. Always pull the plug out of the power socket before doing any work on the chainsaw and wear safety gloves.

• Tighten: Rotate the locking collar ring to fix guide bar. Then gently press the SDS locking knob and rotate it clockwise at the same time to tighten the tension on the chain until the sprocket cover is firmly attached on machine, which is ensuring the chain and bar are securely fitted.

• Loosen: Rotate the SDS locking knob counter-clockwise to loosen the tension on the chain. Turn slowly and continually check the tension until the correct adjustment is made.
• Do not over-tension chain. Over-tensioning will cause excessive wear and will reduce the life of the guide bar and chain. After chain tension is correct, tighten guide bar SDS locking knob firmly.
• See more detail about saw chain tension on Page 24.

Adding chain oil:

• To prevent dirt contaminating the tank, clean the oil tank cap before opening. Wipe away any oil spills and finger tighten the oil cap. Ensure the oil level is continually observed when in use by viewing the oil gauge.
• The bar and chain will be lubricated automatically during use and should never be allowed to run dry. If the pole saw is operated without chain oil, excessive friction will be created causing severe damage to the bar and chain.
• Never use the saw when the oil level is below the “Min.” mark.

1. Min.: When only approx. 5ml of oil is visible at the lower rim of the oil gauge, you must top up with oil.
2. Max.: Top up with oil until the window is full.

CARE AND CLEANING

INJURY WARNING : Always wear protective gloves when working on or around cutting equipment.

• Cleaning saw body
  • Keep saw body clean. Use a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water mixture. Wipe saw body to clean.
• Care of guide bar
  • Uneven bar wear causes most guide bar problems. Incorrect sharpening of chain cutter and depth gauge settings often cause this. When bar wears unevenly, it widens guide bar groove. This causes chain clatter and rivet popping. Saw will not cut straight. Replace guide bar if this occurs.

Inspect guide bar before sharpening chain. A worn or damaged guide bar is unsafe. A worn or damaged guide bar will damage chain. It will also make cutting more difficult.

Normal Guide Bar Maintenance

1. Remove guide bar from chain saw.
2. Remove sawdust from guide bar groove periodically. Use putty knife or wire.
3. Clean oil slots after each day of use.
4. Remove burrs from sides of guide bar. Use flat file to make side edges square. Replace guide bar when

• bar is bent or cracked
• inside groove of bar is badly worn

Sharpening saw chain
Keep chain sharp. Your saw will cut faster and more safely. A dull chain will cause undue sprocket, guide bar, chain, and motor wear. If you have to force chain into wood and cutting creates only sawdust with few large chips, chain is dull.

Items Needed to Sharpen Chain
Purchase these items from your local dealer, hardware store, or pole saw supplies outlet.

• 5/32″ (4mm) round file
• Depth gauge tool
• File guide
• Vise
• Medium sized flat file

Sharpening Cutters
Use file guide for 30° filing.

1. Adjust chain for proper tension.

2. Clamp guide bar in vise to hold saw steady.
   (Note: Do not clamp chain.)

3. Press 5/32″ round file (attached to file guide) into groove between top plate and depth gauge on chain. File guide should rest on both top plate and depth gauge.
   (Note: File at midpoint of guide bar.) Note: This illustration shows file guide placement and filing direction for sharpening cutters on left side of chain.

4. Hold file guide level. Make sure 30° mark on file guide is parallel to center of guide bar. This will insure that you file cutters at 30° angle.

5. File from inside towards outside of cutter until sharp. Only file in this one direction.
   (Note: Two or three strokes with file should sharpen cutter.)

Filing Cutter Depth Gauges
The cutter depth gauge clearance is reduced as cutters are sharpened. After every second or third sharpening, reset cutter depth gauges.

1. Place depth gauge tool (.025″) firmly across top of two cutters. Make sure depth gauge enters slot in depth gauge tool.
2. Use medium flat file. File depth gauge level with depth gauge tool.
3. Remove depth gauge tool. With flat file, round off front corner of cutter depth gauge.

Replacing caw chain
IMPORTANT: Do not clamp chainsaw in vise to replace saw chain or guide bar.
Replace chain when cutters are too worn to sharpen or when chain breaks. Only use replacement chain noted in this manual. Refer to saw chain assembly on page 20 to page 21 while completing the following steps.

1. Loosen and remove SDS system.

2. Remove sprocket cover.

3. Remove saw chain.

4. Place new chain around drive sprocket, along top groove of guide bar, and around guide bar nose.
   Note: Make sure cutting edges of chain are facing in right direction. Position chain so cutting edges on top of guide bar face guide bar nose (see the graph below and indicator on side cover of saw).

5. Before placing sprocket cover into positioning groove, verify that the adjusting nib is in the adjusting hole on the guide bar.

6. Place sprocket cover into positioning groove.

7. Locking the sprocket cover with SDS system.
   (IMPORTANT: finger tighten only.)

CAUTION: Do not place chain on saw backwards. If chain is backwards, saw will vibrate badly and will not cut.

STORAGE
If storing saw for more than 30 days, follow steps below.

1. Drain oil tank after each use.
