b) Fig. 4: Hook the carabiner (A) of the shoulder strap (8) into the strap attachment (B).
c) Fig. 4a: The additional handle consists of the handle (N), the hexagon screw (P) and the lock (F). It is fi tted to the handle attachment (U) as illustrated. Push the hexagon screw (P) into the handle (N) and screw it tight to the lock (F).

5.2 Fitting the chain saw mounting kit (for use as a pole-operated pruner)
5.2.a Assembly of the cutter rail and the saw chain

  • Undo the fixing screw (C) of the chain wheel cover (Fig. 5).
  • Take off the chain wheel cover.
  • Lay the chain as shown in the groove which runs around the cutter rail (Fig. 6/Item E).
  • Insert the cutter rail and chain as shown in the mounting in the chainsaw (Fig. 7). At the same time guide the chain around the chain wheel (Fig. 7/Item K).
  • Attach the chain wheel cover (Fig. 8/Item C) and fasten it hand-tight with the fastening screw.

Important! Do not fully tighten the fastening screw until after you have adjusted the chain tension (see section 5.2.b).

5.2.b Tensioning the saw chain
Caution! Always remove the battery from the device before inspection and adjustment. Always wear protective gloves when working on the chainsaw to protect yourself against injury.

  • Undo the fixing screw of the chain wheel cover a few turns (Fig. 5).
  • Adjust the chain tension with the chain tensioning screw (Fig. 9/Item D). Turning the screw clockwise increases the chain tension, turning it counter-clockwise decreases the chain tension. The saw chain is correctly tensioned if it can be lifted approx. 2 mm in the middle of the cutter rail (Fig. 10).
  • Secure the fixing screw (C) of the chain wheel cover (Fig. 8).

Notice! All the chain links must lie properly in the guide groove of the cutter bar.

Notes on tensioning the chain:
The saw chain must be properly tensioned to ensure safe operation. You can tell that the chain tension is perfect if the saw chain can be lifted by around 2 mm in the middle of the cutter rail. As the saw chain heats up during cutting and thus changes in length, check the chain tension no less than every 10 minutes and adjust it again as required. This applies in particular to new saw chains. When you havefi finished working slacken the chain again, as the chain will shorten when it cools down. This will prevent the chain from being damaged.

5.2.c Saw chain lubrication
Caution! Always remove the battery from the device before inspection and adjustment. Always wear protective gloves when working on the chainsaw to protect yourself against injury.
Important! Never operate the chain if it is not lubricated with saw chain oil. Use of the chainsaw without saw chain oil or if the oil level is below the viewing window will result in damage to the chainsaw!
Important! Be aware of the temperature conditions: diff event lubricants with completely diff erent viscosities are required at diff erent ambient temperatures. At lower temperatures, you will need low viscosity oils in order to achieve a suffi client lubricating fi lm. However, if the same low viscosity oil is used during the summer it will become even thinner due to the ambient temperatures alone, and as a result, the lubricating fi lm could break down, causing the chain to overheat and become damaged. In addition, the chain oil would burn and produce unnecessary pollutants.

Filling the oil tank (Fig. 11):

  • Place the chainsaw on a flat surface.
  • Clean the area around the oil tank cover (Item 31) and then clean the oil tank cover.
  • Fill the tank (Item 30) with saw chain oil. In the process, make sure that no dirt enters the tank, as this could cause the oil nozzle to become blocked.
  • Close the oil tank cover (Item 31).

After the chain saw mounting kit has been fitted and when the equipment is not being used, slip the cutter guard (Fig. 1/Item 18) over the mounted cutter bar with saw chain in
order to prevent injuries.

5.3 Adjusting the additional handle (Fig. 12-13)

The battery pack can become a little warm during the charging. This is normal.
If the battery pack fails to charge, check:

  • whether there is the voltage at the socket outlet
  • whether there is good contact at the charging contacts.

If the battery pack still fails to charge, send

  • the charging unit
  • and the battery pack to our customer service center.

To ensure that the battery pack provides a long service, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the power of the cordless equipment drops. Never fully discharge the battery pack. This will cause it to develop a defect.

Working with the chainsaw mounting kit

Preparations
To ensure that you can work safely, check the following points before every use:
Condition of the chainsaw
Inspect the chainsaw before the start of work for damage to the housing, the power cable, the saw chain, and the cutter rail. Never use a chainsaw that is obviously damaged.

Oil container
Fill the level of the oil container. Even while working, keep checking that suffi client oil is in the system. To avoid damaging the chainsaw, never run the saw if there is no oil in the system or if the oil drops below the “min” mark. On average, a single filling will last around 20 minutes depending on the number of pauses in cutting and the loads involved.

Saw chain
The tension of the saw chain, and the condition of the cutting elements. The sharper the chainsaw, the easier and more controllable it is to operate the chainsaw. The same also applies to the chain tension. Also while working you should check the chain tension no less than every 10 minutes in order to increase your safety. New saw chains in particular often tend to expand more.
Safety clothing
Always wear appropriate tight-fi things safety clothing like special trousers which protect against cuts, protective gloves, and safety shoes.

Hearing protection and protective goggles.
Wear a protective helmet with integral face and hearing protection. This will off er protection against falling branches and any branches if they spring back.

Safe working

  • To ensure that you can work in safely you must use the equipment at a working angle of max. 60°.

  • Never stand under the branch you want to see.

  • Use special caution when working with branches under tension and splintered wood.

  • Possible risk of injury caused by falling branches and catapulting pieces of wood.

  • When the equipment is in operation keep other persons and animals away from the danger zone.

  • The equipment is not protected from electric shock through contact with high-voltage cables. Keep a minimum distance of 10 m from live cables. Electric shock can cause
    fatal injury.

  • When working on slopes always stand to the upper or left or right side of the branch you wish to cut.

  • Hold the equipment as close as possible to your body. This will help you to keep your balance.

Cutting techniques

  • When removing branches, hold the equipment at an angle of max. 60° to the horizontal to avoid being hit by a falling branch (Fig. 27).
  • Start with the bottom branches on the tree. This will make it easier for the cut branches to drop.
  • After completing a cut, the weight of the saw will abruptly increase for the operator as the saw is no longer supported by the branch. This can result in you losing control over the saw.
  • Remove the saw from the cut only with the saw chain still running. This will prevent the saw from getting jammed.
  • Never cut with the tip of the saw.
  • Never cut into the bulging branch collar. This will prevent the tree from healing.

Sawing off smaller branches (Fig. 25):
Place the contact surface of the saw onto the branch. This will prevent the saw from making jerky movements when you begin a cut. Exerting slight pressure, guide the saw from the top to the bottom through the branch.

Sawing off larger and longer branches (Fig. 26):
Carry out a relief cut when working on larger branches. Start by sawing through 1/3 of the branch diameter (a) from the bottom to the top with the top side of the cutter rail. Then saw towards the fi rst cut (b) from the top to the bottom with the bottom side of the cutter rail. Saw off longer branches in several steps to keep control over the impact location.

Kick-back!
The term “kickback” describes what happens when the running chainsaw suddenly kicks upward and backward. Usually, this is caused by contact between the tip of the cutter rail and the workpiece or the saw chain becoming trapped. In the event of kickback, large forces occur suddenly and violently. As a result, the chainsaw usually reacts uncontrollably. This can often result in very serious injuries to the worker or persons in the vicinity. The risk of kickback is at its greatest when the saw is positioned for a cut in the region of the tip of the cutter rail, as the leverage effect is greatest there. It is, therefore, safest to position the saw as fl at as possible.

Important!

  • Make sure that the chain tension is always correctly adjusted.
  • Only use a chainsaw if it is in perfect working order.
  • Only work with a saw chain that has been properly sharpened in accordance with the instructions.
  • Never cut with the upper edge or the tip of the cutter rail.
  • Always hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands.

Cutting wood that is under tension
Special care is required when cutting wood that is under tension. Wood which is under tension from which it is released by cutting may in some cases react completely unpredictably and uncontrollably. In the worst case, this could result in extremely severe or even fatal injuries. This type of work must only be performed by persons who have been specially trained.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Danger!
Remove the battery pack before doing any cleaning and maintenance work.

8.1 Cleaning

  • Regularly clean the clamping mechanism by blowing it out with compressed air or cleaning it with a brush. Do not use tools for cleaning.
  • Keep the handles free of grease so that you can maintain a firm grip.
  • Clean the equipment as required with a damp cloth and, if necessary, mild washing up liquid.
  • If the chainsaw is not to be used for an extended period of time then you should remove the chain oil from the tank. Briefly immerse the saw chain and the cutter rail in an oil bath and then wrap them in oil paper.
  • Never immerse the equipment in water or other liquids in order to clean it.
  • Use a brush to remove deposits from the safety guards.
  • Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
  • We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
  • Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

8.2 Maintenance
8.2.1 Chainsaw mounting kit
Replacing the saw chain and cutter rail
The cutter rail needs to be replaced if the guide groove of the cutter rail is worn; Proceed as described in the section “Assembly of the cutter rail and the saw chain”.
Checking the automatic chain lubrication
You should check the operation of the automatic chain lubrication system on a regular basis in order to guard against overheating and the associated damage to the cutter rail and the saw chain. To do this, point the tip of the cutter rail towards a smooth surface (board, section of a cut tree) and allow the chainsaw to run. If an increasing oil trace becomes evident during this process then the automatic chain lubrication system is working properly. If no clear oil trace is evident then please refer to the corresponding instructions in “Troubleshooting”. If the information contained there still fails to remedy the situation then please contact our service department or another similarly qualifi ed workshop. Important! Do not actually touch the surface with the tip of the cutter rail when performing this test. Keep a safe distance (approx. 20 cm).
Sharpening the saw chain
Effective working with the chainsaw is only possible if the saw chain is in good condition and sharp. This also reduces the risk of kickback. The saw chain can be re-sharpened by any dealer. Do not attempt to sharpen the saw chain yourself unless you have the necessary special tools and experience.
