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 instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the safety instructions refers to your mains-operated (cable) power tools or battery-operated (cableless) power tools.

  1. Work area safety

    • a) Keep the 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 flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks that 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

    • 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 the risk of electric shock.
    • 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.
    • Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
    • Do not abuse the cable. Never use the cable for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cables increase the risk of electric shock.
    • When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use. The use of a cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
    • If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
  3. Personal safety

    • 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.
    • Use personal protective equipment. Always wear safety goggles. Protective equipment such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
    • Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
    • 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.
    • Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
    • Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
    • If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. The use of dust collection systems can reduce dust-related hazards.
  4. Power tool use and care

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
    • 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

    • Charge a rechargeable battery unit using only the charger recommended by the manufacturer. 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.
    • 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.
    • When they are not being used, store rechargeable 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.
    • Fluid may leak out of rechargeable batteries if they are misused. If this happens, avoid contact with the fluid. If accidental contact occurs, 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 rechargeable battery from heat (for example, from continuous exposure to sunlight), fire, water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion.

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 23 flying upwards towards the operator (see Fig. 1).Parkside-PAHE-20-Li-C3-Cordless-Pole-Saw-fig- \(15\)
  • Kickbacks can occur if the tip of the guide rail 23 touches an object or if the wood bends and the saw chain 17 gets caught in the cut (see Fig. 2).
  • If the saw chain 17 jams in the upper edge of the guide rail 23, the rail can kick back violently towards the operator.
  • Any such reaction can lead to you losing control over the saw and possibly injuring yourself. 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 precau-tions 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 operator 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.

  • 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 15 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 protruding 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 refamiliarise yourself with the appliance.

  • Now you can begin with the sawing.

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 uncontrollable.
  • 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).

Working safely

  • Keep the appliance, the cutting mechanism and the blade guard 30 in good condition to prevent injury.
  • If the appliance has been dropped, check for significant damage or defects.
  • Maintain the specified angle 60°±10° to ensure safe working (see figure).
  • Do not use the appliance while standing on a ladder or with unsteady footing.
  • Do not be tempted into making a poorly considered cut. You could endanger yourself and others.
  • Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
  • Change your working position regularly. Using the appliance for a long time can lead to vibration-related circulation disorders of the hands. You can extend the usage duration by means of appropriate gloves or by taking regular breaks. Note that any personal predisposition to poor blood circulation, low external temperatures or large prehensile forces can reduce the usage period.

Transport and storage

  • For transport, allow the motor to cool down and secure the machine from slipping before transporting it in a vehicle. This ensures that damage or injury is prevented. The pole pruner should always be transported with the transport protection device attached.
  • Use the blade guard 30 for transporting the appliance.
  • Ensure that the appliance cannot switch on during transport (see figure).
  • Always clean the appliance thoroughly before storing.
  • Store the appliance in a dry place and out of the reach of children.
  • Store the appliance horizontally or secured against falling.
  • Empty the oil tank. Organic chain oil 31 can become resinous.
  • For better retention of the mounting tool 32 You can use this in the mounting bracket 33.

  • Clean and service the appliance after each use depending on the operating conditions. Failure to clean the appliance may result in material damage and malfunctions.
  • Never allow fluids to get into the device.
  • Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the housing. Never use petrol, solvents or cleansers which can damage plastic.
  • If a lithium-ion battery is to be stored for an extended period, the charge level should be checked regularly. The optimum charge level is between 50% and 80%. The optimum storage climate is cool and dry.
