5 Safety instructions
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.
WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep your 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 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.
2) Electrical safety
a) The connection plug of the electric tool must fit into the socket. 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 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.
3) 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 while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Wear personal protective equipment and always safety goggles. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, safety helmet or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or rechargeable battery, 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.
d) Remove any adjusting tools or spanners/keys 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) Avoid abnormal postures. 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 and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust extraction can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) 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) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such precautionary measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
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) Maintain power tools and attachments. 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 likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use electric tools, insertion tools, etc. according to these instructions. Take 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 grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Only charge the batteries with battery chargers recommended by the manufacturer. A battery charger that is suitable for a particular type of battery poses a fire hazard when used with other batteries.
b) Only use the batteries in power tools that are designed for them. The use of other batteries can lead to injuries and a risk of fire.
c) Keep the unused battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that could cause a short-circuit between the contacts. A short-circuit between the contacts of the battery could result in burns or fires.
d) Liquid may leak from the battery if used incorrectly. Avoid contact with it. In case of accidental contact, rinse with water. If the liquid gets into your eyes, seek additional medical attention. Leaking battery fluid may cause skin irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a damaged or modified battery. Damaged or modified batteries can behave unpredictably and cause fire, explosion or injury.
f) Do not expose a battery to fire or excessive temperatures. Fire or temperatures above 130°C may cause an explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and never charge the battery or rechargeable tool outside the temperature range specified in the operating manual. Incorrect charging or charging outside the approved temperature range can destroy the battery and increase the risk of fire.

8.2 Tensioning the saw chain (17) (Fig. 6, 7)
WARNING
Risk of injury from the saw chain jumping off!
An insufficiently tensioned saw chain can come off during operation and cause injuries.
Check the saw chain tension frequently.
The chain tension is too low if the drive links come out of the groove on the underside of the guide rail.
Adjust the tension of the saw chain properly if the saw chain tension is too low.
1. Turn the chain tensioning wheel (18) clockwise to tension the saw chain (17). The saw chain (17) must not sag, although it should be possible to pull it 1-2 millimetres away from the chainsaw guide bar (16) in the centre of the guide bar.
2. Turn the saw chain (17) by hand, to check it runs freely. It must glide freely in the chainsaw guide bar (16).
The saw chain is correctly tensioned when it does not sag on the chainsaw guide bar and can be pulled all the way round with a gloved hand. When pulling on the saw chain with 9 N (approx. 1 kg) tractive force, the saw chain and chainsaw guide bar must not be more than 2 mm apart.
Notes:
· The tension of a new chain must be checked after a few minutes in operation, and adjusted if necessary.
· The tensioning of the saw chain should be carried out in a clean place free from sawdust and the like.
· Correct tensioning of the saw chain is for the safety of the user and reduces or prevents wear and chain damage.
· We recommend that the user check the chain tension before starting work for the first time. The saw chain is correctly tensioned when it does not sag on the underside of the guide bar and can be pulled all the way round with a gloved hand.

11.1 Hedge trimmer
11.1.1 Cutting techniques · Cut out thick branches beforehand with pruning shears.
· The double-sided cutter bar allows cutting in both directions, or using a pendulum movement, swinging the trimmer back and forth.
· When cutting vertically, move the product smoothly forwards or up and down in an arc.
· When cutting horizontally, move the product in a crescent shape towards the edge of the hedge so that cut branches fall to the ground.
· To get long straight lines, it is advisable to stretch guide strings.
11.1.2 Pruned hedges It is advisable to cut hedges in a trapezoidal shape to prevent the lower branches from becoming bare. This corresponds to natural plant growth and allows hedges to thrive. When pruning, only the new annual shoots are reduced, so that a dense branching and a good screen is formed.
· Trim the sides of a hedge first. To do this, move the product with the direction of growth from bottom to top. If you cut from the top down, thinner branches move outwards and this can create thin spots or holes.
· Then cut the top edge straight, roof-shaped or round, depending on your taste.
· Trim even young plants to the desired shape. The main shoot should remain undamaged until the hedge has reached the planned height. All other shoots are cut in half.
11.1.3 Cut at the right time · Leaf hedge: June and October
· Conifer hedge: April and August
· Fast growing hedge: around every 6 weeks from May
Pay attention to nesting birds in the hedge. Delay the hedge cut or leave this area out if this is the case.
11.2 Pole-mounted pruner
DANGER
Danger of injury! If the product is jammed, do not try to pull the product out by using force.
Switch off the engine.
Use a lever arm or wedge to get the product free.
DANGER
Watch out for falling branches and do not trip.
· The saw chain should have reached maximum speed before you start sawing.
· You have better control when you saw with the underside of the bar (with a pulling chain).
· The saw chain must not touch the ground or any other object during or after sawing.
· Ensure that the saw chain does not become jammed in the saw cut. The branch must not break or splinter.
· Also observe the precautions against kick-back (see safety instructions).
· Remove the branches hanging downwards by making the cut above the branch.
· Branched boughs are cut to length individually.
11.2.1 Cutting techniques
WARNING
Never stand directly under the branch that you want to saw off!
Possible risk of injury caused by falling branches and catapulting pieces of wood. In general, it is recommended to position the product at an angle of 60° to the branch. Hold the product firmly with both hands during the cutting process and always ensure that you are in a balanced position and have a good stance.
Sawing off small branches (Fig. 18):
Place the stop surface of the saw against the branch to avoid jerky movements of the saw when starting the cut. Guide the saw through the branch with light pressure from top to bottom. Make sure that the branch does not break through prematurely if you have misjudged its size and weight.
Sawing off in sections (Fig. 19):
Saw off large or long branches in sections so that you have control over the impact location.
· Saw off the lower branches on the tree first to make it easier for the cut branches to fall.
· Once the cut has been completed, the weight of the saw increases abruptly for the operator, as the saw is no longer supported on the branch. There is a risk of losing control of the product.
· Only pull the saw out of the cut with the saw chain running to prevent it from jamming.
· Do not saw with the tip of the tool attachment.
· Do not saw into the bulging branch base, as this will prevent the tree from healing.
11.3 After use
· Always switch the product off before placing it down and wait until the product has come to a standstill.
· Remove the battery.
· Put on the supplied guide bar and chain guard or the cutter bar guard after each instance of working with the product.
· Allow the product to cool.
