1. General safety regulations

This machine is not intended for use by persons (including children) with an impaired physical, sensory or mental

capacity or t experience and/or knowledge unless they are supervised by a person responsible

for their safety or receive instructions from that person in the use of the machine. Children should be supervised in

order to ensure that they do not play with the machine.

Remain alert, pay attention to what you are doing and proceed sensibly when working with an electric tool. Do not use

the machine if you are tired or under the of drugs, alcohol or medication.

General safety information for power tools

Warning! Read all safety-related information and safety instructions! Failure to observe the safety informa-

tion and instructions may result in electric shock, burns and/or severe injury.

Keep the safety information and instructions for future reference.

The term ‘power tool’ as used in the safety information and instructions includes both mains-operated tools (with power

cord) and battery-operated tools (without power cord).

1) Safety at the workplace

a) Keep your working area clean, tidy and well-lit. Disorder and poorly lit working areas may result in accidents.

gases or dusts. Power tools generate sparks that may ignite dusts or fumes.

Keep children and other persons away while you are operating the power tool. Distractions may result in the

operator loosing control over the tool.

2) Electrical safety

a) The

way. Do not use adapter plugs/connectors in combination with tools with protective earthing.

b) Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces as pipes, heaters, ovens and refrigerators. There is an

increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.

c) Keep the tool out of the rain or moisture in general. The penetration of water into a power tool increases the

risk of electric shock.

d) Do not use the cord to carry or hang up the tool or to pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the cord away

from heat, oil and sharp edges or moving parts of the tool. Damaged or tangled cords increase the risk of

electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use exclusively extension cords that are approved for outdoor-

use. The use of an extension cord that is suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If the operation of a power tool in a moist environment cannot be avoided it is highly recommended to

use a residual current device (RCD). The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Always pay attention to what you do and apply reasonable care when working with a power tool. Do

When

working with power tools, even a short moment of inattentiveness may result in severe injury.

b) Wear personal protection equipment and always wear eye protection (safety goggles). Wearing personal

protection equipment as a dust mask, nonslip safety shoes, safety helmet or ear protectors (depending on the

type and application of the tool) reduces the risk of injury.

c) Avoid unintentional operation. Make sure that the power tool is switched off before you connect it to the

mains supply and/or the battery and whenever you pick up or carry the tool. When carrying the tool with

may result in accidents.

d) Remove adjustment tools or wrenches and the like before you switch the power tool on. A wrench or other

tool that is inside or on a rotating part of the tool may cause injury.

e) Avoid unusual postures. Make sure to have a safe footing and keep your balance at all times. This will

allow you to better control the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Wear suitable clothes. Do not wear wide clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothes and gloves clear

of all moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair may get caught in moving parts.

g) If dust extraction/collection devices are provided make sure that they are connected and used properly.

The use of a dust extraction device may reduce risks caused by dust.

4) Use and handling of the power tool

a) Do not overtax the power tool. Use the power tool intended for your type of work in each case. The use

of the suitable power tool within the stated range of performance makes working more effective and safer.

b) Do not use a power tool with a damaged switch. A power tool that cannot be switched on or off any more is

dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Pull the mains plug and/or remove the battery before adjusting a tool, changing accessories or putting

the tool aside. This precaution avoids the unintentional start of the tool.

d) Store power tools that are currently not used out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons to use

the tool if they are not familiar with the tool or these instructions. Power tools are dangerous if used by

inexperienced persons.

e) Thoroughly maintain your power tool. Check whether moving parts are working properly and are not

jamming/sticking, and whether parts are broken or otherwise damaged in a way that may affect the func-

tion of the power tool. Have damaged parts repaired before using the tool. Many accidents are the result

of poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Thoroughly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are jamming

less often and are easier to guide.

g) Use power tools, accessories, add-on tools, etc. in accordance with these instructions and in the way

prescribed for the respective type of tool. You should also consider the working conditions and the work

to be carried out. The use of power tools for purposes other than those intended for the respective tool may

result in dangerous situations.

5) Service

a) Have

exclusively original spare parts. This will ensure the continued safe operation of the power tool.

•Keep the cable away from the cutting area. When working with the tool the cable might be hidden in bushes

and accidentally cut through.

•Keep all parts of your body clear of the chain while the saw is running. Before starting the saw, make sure

that the chain does not touch any objects. When working with a chain saw, even a short moment of inattentive-

ness may result in clothes or parts of the body being caught by the chain.

•Always hold the chain saw with your right hand at the rear handle and your left hand at the front handle.

Holding the chain saw differently (left hand – rear handle / right hand – front handle) during operation will increase

the risk of injury and is not permitted.

•Wear eye and hearing protection. Other personal protection equipment for the head, hands, legs and feet

is recommended. Proper protective clothing and protection equipment reduce the risk of injury caused by thrown-

about wood chips and accidental contact with the chain.

•Do not operate the chain saw on trees. Operating a chain saw while situated on a tree involves a high risk of

injury.

•Make sure to have a safe stand at any time, and only use the chain saw when standing on solid, safe and

level ground. A slippery ground or instable surfaces as the steps of a ladder may lead to loosing balance or the

control over the chain saw.

•When cutting a branch that is under tension take into account that it will spring back. When the tension of the

branch may hit the operator and/or the chain saw resulting in a loss of control.

•Apply particular caution when cutting brush and young trees. The thin material may get caught in the chain

and hit you or throw you off balance.

•Carry the switched-off chain saw using the front handle with the chain pointing away from your body.

Always put on the protection cover when transporting or storing the chain saw. The careful handling of the

chain saw reduces the risk of accidentally touching the sharp cutting chain.

•Follow the instructions for lubrication, chain tension and changing accessories. An improperly tensioned or

lubricated chain may either break or considerably increase the risk of a kickback.

•Keep the handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Fatty, oily handles are slippery and may lead to a

loss of control.

•Use the chain saw for cutting wood only! Do not use the chain saw for works it is not designed for. – Ex-

ample: Do not use the chain saw for cutting plastics, brickwork or other construction materials that are not

made of wood. The use of the chain saw for applications, for which it is not designed, may result in dangerous

situations.

• Never attempt to use an incomplete machine or one which an unauthorised alteration has been implemented.

• These devices are not designed to be operated by persons who have t experience and/or

knowledge or by persons with impaired physical, sensory or mental capabilities, unless they are being supervised

by a person who is responsible for their safety or they are receiving instructions about how these devices are to

be used.

• Young persons under the age of 16 are not permitted to operate these devices.

• Measures must be implemented to ensure that the device is not operated during adverse weather conditions, in

particular when there is a risk of lightening.

Warning!

The prolonged utilisation of a tool will subject the user to vibration and shocks that could lead to Raynaud‘s syndrome

or Carpal tunnel syndrome.

This condition reduces the ability of the hand to sense and regulate temperature, causes numbness and a sensation

of heat and can lead to damage to the nervous system and the circulatory system and to necrosis.

Not all factors that lead to Raynaud‘s syndrome are known but cold water, smoking and illnesses that impact the blood

vessels and the circulatory system as well as severe or long-lasting exposure to vibrations are known to be factors in

the development of Raynaud‘s syndrome. Observe the following in order to reduce the risk of Raynaud‘s syndrome

and Carpal tunnel syndrome:

• Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.

• Make sure the device is well maintained. A tool with loose components or with damaged or worn-out dampers will

have a disposition towards increased vibrations.

• Always hold the handle but do not clutch it constantly with excessive force. Take breaks often.

All of the above precautions cannot exclude the risk of Raynaud‘s syndrome or Carpal tunnel syndrome. Therefore,

with long-term or regular use it is advisable to keep a close watch on the condition of your hands and Seek

medical attention immediately in the event of any of the above symptoms appearing.

The following symbols are used on this electric tool. You can operate this electric tool more safely and effectively

with the correct interpretation of these symbols.

4. Intended use

The chainsaw with telescoping arm is intended for

removing branches from trees. It is not suitable for ex-

tensive sawing work and felling trees or for the sawing

of materials other than wood. Please observe that our

machine was not designed for use in commercial, techni-

cal or industrial applications. We assume no liability if the

machine is used in commercial, technical or industrial

applications or for equivalent activities.

5. Assembly

Attention! Only connect the chainsaw to the mains

supply once it has been completely assembled and

the chain tension has been set. Always wear protective

gloves when carrying out work on the chainsaw in order

to prevent injury.

5.1 Assembly of guide bar and saw chain

Carefully unpack and inspect all parts for completeness.

(Fig.1)

• Loosen the fastening bolt for the chain sprocket cover.

(Fig.2)

• Remove the chain sprocket cover.

• Place the chain in the groove of the guide bar as

shown. (Fig.3/Pos. A)

• Insert the guide bar and chain into the mount on the

chainsaw. (Fig. 4) In the process, guide the chain

around the pinion and hang the guide bar in the chain

tensioning bolts.

• Re-mount and hand-tighten the chain sprocket cover

with the fastening bolt. (Fig.5)

Attention! Only tighten the fastening bolt once the

chain tension has been adjusted (see 5.2).

5.2 Tensioning the saw chain

Attention! Always pull out the mains plug be-

fore inspection and adjustment work. Always

wear protective gloves when carrying out work

on the chainsaw in order to prevent injury.

• Loosen the fastening bolt of the chain sprocket cover

a few rotations.

• Adjust the chain tension with a screwdriver at the

chain tensioning screw.

• Clockwise rotation increases the chain tension; anti-

clockwise rotation reduces the chain tension. The saw

chain is correctly tensioned if it can be raised approx.

2 mm in the centre of the guide bar. (Fig.6 + 7)

Attention! All chain links must lie properly in the

guide groove of the guide bar.

Information regarding the tensioning of the chain

The saw chain must be tensioned properly in order to

ensure safe operation. The chain tension is optimal if the

saw chain can be lifted 2 mm in the centre of the guide

bar. Since the saw chain heats up during the sawing

process, whereby its length changes, you must check

the chain tension at least once every 10 min. and adjust

it as necessary. This applies in particular for new saw

chains. Slacken the saw chain after work is completed,

because it shortens when cooling down. In doing so,

you can prevent damage to the chain.

5.3 Saw chain lubrication

Attention! Always pull out the mains plug before

inspection and adjustment work. Always wear

protective gloves when carrying out work on the

chainsaw in order to prevent injury.

Attention! Never operate the chain without saw

chain oil! The use of the chainsaw without saw

chain oil or with an oil level below the minimum

oil level mark results in damage to the chainsaw!

Attention! Only use special chainsaw oil. The war-

ranty is voided with the use of used oil.

Filling the oil tank (Fig. 8)

• Place the chain saw on a level surface.

• Clean the area around the oil tank cap (Pos.10) and

then open it.

• Fill the oil tank with saw chain oil. In doing so, make

sure that no dirt gets into the oil tank so that the oil

nozzle does not clog.

• Close the oil tank cap (Pos.10).

6. Operation

6.1 Adjusting the telescope length

1. Rotate the locking cap nut (Fig.9) anti-clockwise.

2. The lock is released and can be adjusted to the desi-

red length by pulling the ends out from one another

to the desired length.

3. Then tighten the locking cap nut in clockwise

motion.

6.2 Connection to the mains supply

• Connect the mains cable to a suitable extension

cable. Make sure that the extension cable is designed

to accommodate the power of the chain saw.

• Secure the extension cable against tractive forces

and accidental unplugging as shown in (Fig.10).

• Connect the extension cable to an earthed safety

socket installed in accordance with regulations. We

recommend the use of a cable in a signal colour (red

or yellow). This reduces the risk of accidental damage

from the chainsaw.

Recommendation

Only connect the device to a power source that is pro-

tected via a residual current protective device (RCD) with

a maximum release current of 30 mA.

6.3 Switching on/off

Switching on

• Hold the chainsaw with both hands on the hand-

le (thumb under the handle).

• Press and hold the switch lock (Fig.11).

• Switch the chainsaw on with the on/off switch (3). The

switch lock (14) can now be released again.

Switching off

• Release the on/off switch (3). Always pull out the

mains plug when discontinuing the work.

7. Working with the chainsaw

7.1 Preparation

Before each use, check the following to ensure safe

work:

Condition of the chainsaw

Before beginning work, inspect the chainsaw for damage

to the housing, the mains cable, the saw chain and the

guide bar. Never use an obviously damaged machine.

Oil tank

Fill level of the oil tank. Also check whether there is

oil available while working. Never operate the

saw if there is no oil or the oil level has dropped below

the minimum oil level mark in order to prevent damage

to the chain saw. On average, an oil is

for 10 minutes of operation, depending on the duration

of pauses and the stress.

Saw chain

Tension of the saw chain, condition of the cutters. The

sharper the saw chain is, the easier and more manage-

able the chain saw is to operate. The same applies for

the chain tension. Also check the chain tension at least

once every 10 minutes while working in order to increase

safety! New saw chains, in particular, tend to have a

higher degree of elongation.

Protective clothing

Make absolutely sure to wear the appropriate, close-

protective clothing, such as chainsaw-protective

pants, gloves and safety shoes.

Hearing protection and protective goggles

Wear a safety helmet with integrated hearing protection

and a face guard. This provides protection against falling

branches and recoiling branches.

Attachment of the shoulder belt

1. Wear the shoulder belt so that it lies over the right

shoulder (Fig. 12).

2. Fasten the carabiner hook on the shaft bracket on

the shaft (Fig. 13).

Safe work

• In order to ensure safe work, a maximum working

angle of 60° is prescribed.

• Never stand below the branch to be sawed.

• Exercise caution when sawing branches under tensi-

on or splintering wood.

• Potential risk of injury from falling branches and

wood projectiles!

• If the machine is in operation, keep persons and ani-

mals away from the danger area.

• The machine is not protected against electric shock

when coming into contact with high-voltage lines.

Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 m from current-

carrying lines. Life-threatening danger from electric

shock!

• When working on an incline, always stand above or to

the side of the branch to be sawed.

• Hold the machine as close as possible to your body.

By doing so, you maximise your balance.

Sawing techniques

• When removing branches, hold the machine at an an-

gle ranging from a maximum 60° to horizontal in order

to avoid being struck by a falling branch.

• Saw off the lower branches on the tree By do-

ing so, it is easier for the cut branches to fall to the

ground.

• At the end of the cut, the weight of the saw suddenly

increases for the user, because the saw is no longer

supported on the branch. There is the risk of losing

control of the saw.

• Only pull the saw out of the cut with the saw chain

running. By doing so, you can prevent it from getting

jammed.

• Do not saw with the tip of the guide bar.

• Do not saw into thick the branch formations. This

impedes the tree‘s ability to heal the wound.

Sawing off smaller branches (Fig.14)

Place the stop face of the saw on the branch. This pre-

vents movements of the saw at the beginning of the

cut. Applying light pressure, guide the saw through the

branch from top to bottom.

Sawing off larger and longer branches (Fig.15)

Make a relief cut when sawing larger branches.

a) First saw through 1/3 of the branch diameter from

bottom to top using the top side of the guide bar.
