General Safety Directions for Power Tools
WARNING! Read all safety notices, instructions, illustrations and technical data that have been provided with this power tool. Omissions in the compliance with safety directions and instructions can cause electrical shock, fire and/or severe injuries.

Retain all safety directions and instructions for future use.
The term „power tool“ in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated(cordless) power tool).

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 flammable Iiquids, 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.
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 electric 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 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.
e) 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.
f) If operation of the power tool in a damp environment is una- voidable, please use a residual current circuitry. The use of a residual current circuitry reduces the risk of an electric shock.
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 tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention white operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) 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.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the offposition before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Having your finger on the switch of the power tool while carrying it, or having the power tool switched on when connecting it to the power supply can cause 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.
f) 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.
g) If dust extraction and collection devices can be installed, make sure that these are connected and used correctly. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not allow yourself to be lulled into a false sense of security and do not disregard the safety rules for power tools, even if you are familiar with the power tool after using it many times. Careless action can lead to serious injuries within a fraction of a second.
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 does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Remove the plug from the wall socket and/or remove the rechargeable battery before you change the device’s settings, change accessory parts or put away the power tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentaIly.
d) 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.
e) Look after the power tool and application tool carefully. 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 Iikely 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 different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grip surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grip surfaces do not permit safe operation and control over the power tool in unexpected situations.
CAREFUL HANDLING AND USE OF BATTERY DEVICES
a) Charge the batteries only in chargers that are recommended by the manufacturer. Risk of fire if a charger that is suitable for a specific type of battery is used with other batteries.
b) In the power tools, use only the batteries designed for the purpose. The use of other batteries may result in injuries and risk of fire.
c) Keep the unused battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small metal objects, which could cause bridging of the contacts. A short circuit between the battery contacts may cause burns or fire.
d) If used incorrectly, liquid may leak from the battery. Avoid contact with this. In the event of accidental contact, rinse off with water. If the liquid gets into eyes, seek medical assistance. Leaking battery fluid may cause skin irritations or burns.
e) Do not use damaged or altered batteries. Damaged or altered batteries can be unpredictable and lead to fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose batteries to fire or elevated temperatures. Fire or temperatures over 130 °C can cause an explosion.
g) Follow all instructions for charging and never charge the battery or the battery-powered tool outside the temperature range stated in the operating instructions. Incorrect charging or charging outside the permitted temperature range may destroy the battery and increase the risk of fire.
SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b) Never repair damaged batteries. All battery repairs should be carriedout by the manufactureror authorised customer service centres only.

Safety instructions for hedge trimmers
a) Keep all body parts away from the blade. Do not attempt to remove clippings or to hold onto material to be cut when the blades are running. The blades continue to move after turning off the switch.
A moment of inattention when using the trimmer can result in serious injuries.
b) Hold the hedge trimmer by the handgrip when the blade is at a standstill and make sure you do not press the switch. Carrying the hedge trimmer correctly reduces the risk of inadvertent operation and being injured by the blade as a result.
c) Always place the protective cover onto the blades while transporting or storing the hedge trimmer.Careful handling of the hedge trimmer reduces the risk of injury from the blade.
d) Ensure that all switches are turned off and the battery is removed or switched off before removing jammed clippings or maintaining the machine. Unexpected operation of the hedge trimmer when removing jammed material can lead to serious injuries.
e) Hold the hedge trimmer only by the insulated gripping surfaces as the cutting blades may come into contact with hidden wiring.
The blades coming into contact with a live wire can also cause a charge in metal parts of the device and result in an electric shock.
f) Keep all mains cables and lines away from the cutting range.
Cables and lines may be concealed in hedges and bushes and be inadvertently cut by the blade.
g) Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather, especially if there is a danger of a storm. This reduces the risk of being struck by lightning.
Additional safety instructions for hedge trimmers with extended reach
a) Reduce the risk of fatal electric shock by never using the extended reach hedge trimmer near electrical wires.Touching or using near power lines can cause serious injury or fatal electric shock.
b) Always operate the extended reach hedge trimmer with both hands.Hold the extended reach hedge trimmer with both hands to avoid losing control.
c) Wear head protection when working overhead with the extended reach hedge trimmer. Falling fragments can cause serious injuries.
Safety information for chainsaws

When in operation, keep all body parts away from the saw chain. Before you start the saw, ensure that the saw chain is not touching anything. When using a chainsaw, losing concentration for just a moment can lead to clothing or body parts being caught up in the saw chain.
Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the rear handle and left hand on the front handle. Holding the chainsaw the other way around increases the risk of injuries and is not permitted.
Wear protective goggles and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for the head, hands, legs and feet is required. Appropriate protective clothing reduces the risk of injury from flying chip material and accidental contact with the saw chain.
Do not use the chainsaw to work on trees. Operating a chainsaw on a tree poses the risk of injury.
Ensure you are standing firmly and only use the chainsaw if the ground beneath you is solid, secure and even. Slippery ground or unstable surfaces such as on a ladder can lead to loss of balance or loss of control over the chainsaw.
If working on a branch under tension, be aware that it will spring back. Once the tension in the wood fibres has been released, the branch may hit the user and/or control over the chainsaw may be lost.
Be particularly careful when cutting brushwood and young trees. The thin material may become caught in the saw chain and hit you or cause you to lose balance.
Carry the chainsaw by the front handle when it is switched off with the saw chain pointing away from your body. Always place the protective cover onto the chainsaw when transporting or storing it. Careful handling of the chainsaw reduces the probability of accidentally coming into contact with the running saw chain.
Observe the instructions for lubrication, chain tensioning and replacing accessories. An improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may rip apart or increase the risk of kickback.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery and lead to loss of control.
Only saw wood. Do not use the chainsaw for unintended applications – example: do not use the chainsaw to saw through plastic, masonry or construction materials not made from wood. Use of the chainsaw for unintended applications can lead to hazardous situations.

Kickback causes and how to avoid them with polemounted pruners
Caution – kickbacks! Be aware that you may experience kickback while working with the device. There is a risk of injury. Kickbacks can be avoided through taking the appropriate care and using the correct sawing technique.

Kickbacks may 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. b).
Under some circumstances, contact with tip of the rails can lead to an unexpected backwards reaction movement during which the guide rails move upwards and strike the operator (see Fig. a).
If the saw chain becomes stuck along the top edge of the guide rail, the rail can kick back heavily towards to the operator.
Each of these reactions can lead to you losing control of the saw and potentially being seriously injured. Do not rely exclusively on the safety devices built into the chainsaw. As user of the chainsaw, you should undertake various measures to enable accident- and injury-free working.
A kickback is caused by wrongly or incorrectly operating the electric tool. It can be avoided by suitable cautionary measures, such as described below:
Hold the saw firmly with both hands with thumbs and fingers surrounding the chainsaw handles. Place your body and arms in a position where you can withstand the kickback forces. The user will be capable of withstanding the kickback forces if suitable measures are undertaken. Never let go of the chainsaw.
Avoid an abnormal body posture. This will enable better control over the chainsaw in unforeseen situations.
Always use the replacement rails and saw chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement rails and saw chains can cause the chain to break apart and/or may lead to kickback.
Comply with the manufacturer’s instructions for sharpening and maintaining the saw chain. Depth limiters placed too low increase the potential for kickbacks.
Do not saw with the tip of the blade bar (see Fig. b). There is a risk of kickback.
Ensure there are no objects on the ground which could cause you to stumble.

Safety information for lawn and lawn edge trimmers Training
a) Read the instructions carefully. Familiarise yourself with the controls and proper use.
b) Never allow people who are not familiar with the instructions or children to use the machine. Local regulations may specify an age limit for the user.
c) Children, individuals with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities, as well as those who have insufficient experience or knowledge or are not familiar with the instructions must never be permitted to use the device.

D Mounting the saw chain
Pay attention to the correct rotation direction of the saw chain. This is indicated on the chain wheel cover (33) and above the bar bolt (37).
Tension the saw chain in accordance with the first 5-6 steps. See section “Tensioning the saw chain

Place the device on a level surface.
Remove the chain wheel cover (33) by loosening the nut (34) with the mounting key (23).
Place the sawing chain (1) into the blade groove. Place the sawing chain (1) into the chain sprocket (36).
Place the blade bar (35) and saw chain (1) onto the rail bolts (37). When the nose on the right below the guide bolt (37) sits in the lower round recess on the blade bar, the blade bar is placed correctly. It is normal for the saw chain (1) to sag.
Pre-tension the saw chain (1) by turning the screw (38) in a clockwise direction with the mounting key (23).
Put the chain wheel cover (33) back in position. Tighten the chain wheel cover nut (34).

Caution! The pole-mounted pruner can be prone to leaks.

Tensioning the saw chain
Regularly tightening the saw chain provides safety for the user and reduces and/or prevents wear and chain damage.
Before starting work and at intervals of approx. 10 minute, we recommend the user to examine the chain tension and correct it if necessary.
The saw chain warms up when working with the saw and thus expands slightly.
These „expansions“ can be expected especially from newer saw chains.
Do not re-tension or change the saw chain when it is hot because it shrinks slightly once it has cooled down. If this is not observed it can lead to damage on the guide rail or the motor because the saw chain is now too taut on the blade bar.
Chain tension and chain lubrication have a significant impact on the service life of the saw chain.
The saw chain is properly tensioned when it does not hang from the underside of the blade bar and cannot be moved around by a gloved hand. When pulling on thesaw chain with 9 N (approx. 1 kg) of force, the saw chain and blade bar should not be separated by a distance of more than 2 mm. Risk of injury!
Remove the batteries from the device before working on the device.

D Loosen the nut (34) of the sprocket cover (33) with the mounting key (23).
Tension the saw chain (1) by turning the screw (38) in a clockwise direction with the mounting key (23). Reduce the saw chain tension by turning the screw anti-clockwise.
Fix the sprocket cover (33) by tightening the nut (34) with the mounting key (23).

The chain tension of a new saw chain must be readjusted after a maximum of 5 cuts.
I Mounting the protective cover

The protective cover (14) must be mounted to the front tubular shaft (2) with the retainer for spool and 3-tooth blade.

Screw the protective cover (14) to the front tubular shaft (2) using the two small Phillips screws (49). Use the Phillips screwdriver (24) for this.
Fasten the cover (50) to the protective hood (14). Use the hexagon socket wrench (22) and the three screws (51).

Removing/mounting the protective cover extension
If using the 3-tooth blade, the protective cover extension must be removed.
If using the spool, the extension must be mounted.
Removing the protective cover extension:

Unlock the extension lock (16) on the protective cover (14) with the slotted screwdriver (24). The lock is located on the inside of the extension of the protective cover on the side of the line cutter (15).
Remove the protective cover extension (16).

Mounting the protective cover extension:

Slide the extension (16) onto the protective cover (14). Begin on the side without the string cutter (15).
Slide the extension (16) up until it clicks into place.

Clean the extension (16) and protective cover (14) after each use.

Initial Operation

When working with the device, wear suitable clothing, work gloves, eye protection, protective headgear, hearing protection and cut-resistant work boots. Prior to each use, ensure that the machine is working correctly.
Do not lock the On/Off switch in place. Do not use the device if a switch is damaged. Risk of injury and damage to property.
Note noise protection and local specifications. The use of the equipment on certain days (e.g. Sundays and national holidays), at certain times of day (lunch times, nighttime quiet periods) or in special areas (e.g. health resorts, clinics etc.) is restricted or orbidden.

E Chain lubrication

The blade bar and saw chain must never be operated without oil. If the pole- mounted pruner is used with too little oil, the cutting performance and lifespan of the saw chain will decrease as the saw chain will become blunt more quickly.
You can identify when there is too little oil if smoke develops or the blade bar changes colour.
The oil flows to the blade bar as soon as the motor starts working.

Filling with chain oil:

Check the oil level indicator on the oil tank ( 39) regularly and top-up the oil if the minimum mark „MIN“ ( 40) is reached on the oil level indicator. The oil tank holds about 160 ml of oil.
Use bio-oil containing additives to reduce friction and wear. You can order this from our service centre.
Alternatively, use chain lubricating oil with a low proportion of adhesion additives.
Empty the oil tank if it will not be used for a prolonged period of time (6-8 weeks).

Unscrew the oil tank cap (41) and pour the chain oil into the tank.
Wipe away any spilt oil and close the oil tank cap (41).
You can regulate the oil flow with the adjusting screw (42).

Always turn off the device and let the motor cool down before filling with chain oil. Overflowing oil can cause a fire.
F Swivelling Out the Blade Beam
The blade bar must be checked regularly for wear and reground. A blunt blade bar causes the device to overload. Any damage that results is notcovered by the warranty.

Hold the safety blade beam on the handle to adjust the blade beam (43).
Unlock the safety lever (44) and keep it pressed.
By simultaneously exerting pressure on the lock lever (45), you will loosen the fixation of the cutter bar.
The safety blade beam can now be swivelled out. Use the stop stages and allow the stop lever (45) to click back in. The device has 7 possible working positions (+ 1 storage position).
Then, release the safety lever (44) again and ensure that it latches back into its initial position.

G Pivoting the polemounted pruner

Pull the lock (46) outward and turn it 90°.
Hold the pole-mounted pruner at the protective transport (9) and turn it to the desired position. There are five possible positions.

Remove the hexagon socket wrench (22)!

Dismantling is carried out in reverse order.
Unscrew the nut (left-hand thread): turn clockwise.

K Mount the spool
The protective cover must be mounted with the extension when using the thread spool.
(See Chapter: “Removing/ mounting the protective cover extension”)
Do not replace the non-metallic filaments of the spool end with metallic filaments!
Risk of injury!

Remove the rechargeable batteries.
Place the device on the ground in a stable position.
Block the mounting spindle (52) using the hexagon socket wrench (22) as depicted.
Place the thin washer (53) on the mounting spindle (52).
Screw the spool cap (17) anticlockwise back onto the mounting spindle (52).

Dismantling is carried out in reverse order.

Extend the thread
Your device is equipped with a doublestring activated touch control, i.e. the two strings are extended when you tap the cutting head on the ground.

Hold the device in operation over a grassy area and lightly tap the cutting head a few times on the ground. This causes the thread to lengthen.
The protective cover (A 15) inserted into the protective cover extension (A 16) cuts the thread to the desired length.

If the thread ends can not be lengthened:

Turn off the device.
Press the core insert as far as it will go and pull firmly on the end of the string.

If no line ends are visible:

Replace the spool (see chapter on ‘Replacing the spool’).

Attention! Thread remnants can be projected and lead to injuries.

A Switching on and off

The charge levels of the inserted batteries do not need to be identical. However, the device will not start if one of the two batteries is exhausted.
Ensure your stance is stable and hold the appliance tightly with both hands and away from your body.
Before switching the apparatus on, make sure that it is not touching any objects.

To start, press and hold the safety switch (29) while pressing the on/off switch (30). You can release the safety switch (29) again.

Battery partially charged
1 LED illuminated (red):
Battery needs to be charged
Charge the battery (25) when only the red LED on the level indicator (27) is illuminated.
Working with the hedge trimmer
While cutting, make sure that you do not touch any objects, such as wire fences or plant supports. This can cause damage to the cutter bar

To avoid eye injuries, always wear safety goggles while working with the hedge trimmer.
Always hold the device tightly with both hands, with one hand on the rear handle and the other hand on the front round handle ( A 5). Your thumb and fingers must tightly clasp the handles.
Check the carrying harness ( A 19) for comfortable positioning which facilitates holding the hedge trimmer.
If the blades become jammed with solid objects, switch the device off immediately, pull the mains plug, and remove the object.
Avoid over-stressing the device while working.

Working with the polemounted pruner
If the saw chain gets stuck, do not attempt to pull out the pruner with force. There is a risk of injury. Turn the motor off and use a lever arm or wedge to release the pruner.

The saw chain should have reached it maximum speed before you begin sawing.
You will have better control over the device if you saw using the lower edge of the blade bar (saw chain in pulling direction) and not using the upper edge of the blade bar (saw chain in pushing direction).
The saw chain must not touch the ground or any object while sawing through the material or thereafter.
Ensure that the saw chain does not get stuck while sawing. The log must not break or splinter.
Please also observe the precautionary measures to protect against kickback (see the safety information).
Remove branches hanging downwards by sawing from the top of the branch.
Twisted branches must be individually cut down to size.

Working using the thread spool

In small grass areas hold the device at an angle of about 30° and swing the cutting head evenly to the right and left with a semi-circular movement.
The best results are obtained with a maximum grass length of 15 cm. If the grass is taller, it is recommended to mow several times.
To cut around trees, fence posts or other obstacles, slowly move the device around the obstacle and cut with the thread ends.
Avoid any contact with fixed obstacles (rocks, walls, picket fences, etc.). The thread would wear out quickly. Use the edge of the protective cover to keep the device at the correct distance.

Attention! Do not lay the cutting head on the ground during operation!

Working with the 3-tooth blade
Always wear the harness and suitable protection clothing when working with the device. Wear eye, hearing and head protection.
Ensure that the blade is installed correctly. Replace damaged or blunt tool parts.
There is a risk of injury.
Only use the blade to work on open, even areas. Carefully inspect the area to be cut and remove all foreign bodies. Avoid hitting stones, metal or other obstacles. The blade can be damaged and there is a risk of kickback by the machine.

When working, hold the cutter above the ground and slowly swivel the device back and forth like a scythe in an equal arch.
Do not hold the cutting head at an angle.
Do not use the device to cut wild growth or brushwood.
Regularly check the blades for damage and replace as needed.

Putting down the device

Place the device on the ground with the motor housing first.
The cutting unit ( A 1/11/12/17) must be placed on the ground without being subjected to any pressure.
Do not apply any static pressure whatsoever to the cutting unit ( A 1/11/12/17).

Cutting techniques using the hedge trimmer

Cut thick branches beforehand using a branch clippers.
The double-sided cutter bar enables cutting in both directions or, with a swinging action, from one side to the other.
In case of vertical cutting, move the hedge trimmer uniformly forward or up and down in an arc movement.
In case of horizontal cutting, move the hedge trimmer in a sickle-shaped movement to the edge of the hedge, so that cut branches fall to the ground.
In order to achieve long straight lines, the placing of tensioned guiding cords is recommended.

Cutting Shaped Hedges: It is recommended that hedges be cut in a trapezoidal shape, in order to prevent stripping off of the lower branches. This corresponds to the natural plant growth and allows the hedge to thrive optimally. During cutting, only the new annual growths are reduced and thus a dense branching and a good screen will develop.

Cut the sides of a hedge first. To do this, move the hedge trimmer in the direction of growth from bottom to top. If you cut down from the top, the thinner branches will move out, which may result in some areas having sparse growth or holes.
Cut the top edge, according to taste, in a flat shape, roof shape or rounded shape
Trim young plants to the required shape. The main growth should re- main undamaged until the hedge has reached the planned height. All other shoots are lopped off to half size.

Care of Free-Growing Hedges: Freegrowing hedges are not shaped when cut, although they must be regularly maintained so the hedge does not become too high.
Cutting techniques using the pole-mounted pruner
Be aware of the risk of kickback as well as falling branches and branches on the ground.

Sawing off small branches:
Place the locating surface of the saw against the branch in order to prevent jerky movements of the saw when you begin to cut it. Guide the saw with light pressure from the top to the bottom through the branch.
Watch out for premature breakage of the branch if you have misjudged the size and weight.
Sawing off larger branches:
In the case of larger branches, select a relief cut first of all to ensure that the sawing process is controlled. To do this, saw an incision (a) into the bottom third of the branch (with the upper side of the blade). Then saw from top to bottom towards the first cut (with the underside of the blade) (b).
Sawing in sections:
Saw off large or long branches in sections so that you have control over the place where the branch section lands.
Saw the lower branches of the tree off first in order to make it easier for the branches that have been cut off to fall to the ground.
After the cut is completed, the weight .of the saw increases abruptly for the operator, as the saw is no longer supported on the branch. There is a danger that you will lose control of the device.
You should only pull the saw out of the cut with the saw chain running in ordeto avoid jamming.
Do not saw with the tip of the cutting equipment.
Do not saw the bulge at the base of the branch because this will prevent the tree from healing.

Working Safely

Do not use the high pruning saw whestanding on a ladder or in an unsafe position.
Do not be tempted to make unconsidered cuts. Doing so may endanger both yourself and others.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the equipment
Long use of the equipment can result ivibration-related circulatory disordersin the hands. However, the length of use can be extended by using suitable gloves or taking regular breaks. Note that a personal tendency for poor circulation, low outdoor temperatures, ohigh gripping forces during work will reduce the length of use.
While using the pole pruner/hedge trimmer, pay attention to the specifiedworking angle of max. 60° in or- der to ensure that you work safely witthe device.
Always stand on the slope above or tthe side of the branch to be sawn.
Hold the device as close as possible to your body. This will ensure the best balance.
