NIIE

function, operation and working
methods explained to you by an ex­perienced user or specialist. Ensure
that you can shut off the equipment
immediately in an emergency. Inap­propriate use of the device may
result in serious injury.

In the case of an accident or malfunction
during operation, the device must be
switched off immediately and the battery
removed. Treat injuries appropriately or
consult a doctor. For the correction of
faults, read the “Troubleshooting” chapter
or contact our service centre.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even if properly operating and handling
this electric tool, some residual risks will
remain. Due to its construction and build,
this electric tool may present the following
hazards:
a) Cuts
b) Ear damage if working without ear

protection.

c) Damage to your health caused by

swinging your hands and arms when
operating the appliance for longer pe­riods of time or if the unit is not held or
maintained properly.

General safety instructions
for power tools

WARNING! Read all safety

directions and instructions.

Omissions in the compliance with
safety directions and instructions

can cause electrical shock, re

and/or severe injuries.

Retain all safety directions and in­structions for future use.

The term “Power Tools” used in the safety
instructions refers to mains-operated power
tools (with power cord) and to battery-op­erated power tools (without power cord).

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well

lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite ac-

cidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in

explosive atmospheres, such as

in the presence of ammable

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.

2) Electrical safety

Caution: This is how to avoid ac-

cidents and injuries by an electric
shock:

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. Unmodi-

ed 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

11

IE NI

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

Caution: This is how to avoid acci-

dents and injuries:

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 inu­ence of drugs, alcohol or medi­cation. A moment of inattention white

operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equip-

ment. 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. Carrying power tools with

your nger on the switch or energising

power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or

wrench before turning the pow­er tool on. A wrench or a key left at-

tached 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. Using a dust

collector can reduce hazards caused
by dust.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool.

Use the correct power tool for
your application. The correct pow-

er 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

12

NIIE

you change the settings of the
device, change accessory parts
or put away the device. Such pre-

ventive 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) 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.

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.

5) Use and treatment of the bat­tery-powered tool

a) Only recharge batteries using chargers

recommended by the manufacturer. If
a charger that has been designed for
a particular type of battery is used to
charge other batteries, there is a risk

of re.

b) Only use the battery that is intended in

an electric tool. The use of other batte-

ries may create a re hazard and lead

to injury.

c) When not in use, keep batteries away

from paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects that
could cause the contacts to be bridged.
A short circuit between battery contacts

can result in burns or a re.

d) When misused, uid may leak from the

battery. Avoid any contact with it. On
accidental contact, wash in running

water. If the uid comes into contact

with the eyes, seek medical assistance

also. Leaking battery uid can cause

skin irritation or burns.

6) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced

by a qualied repair person us­ing only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety

of the power tool is maintained.

Hedge trimmer safety
warnings

Preparation

• THIS HEDGE TRIMMER CAN CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURIES! Read the instruc­tions carefully regarding the correct
handling, preparation and mainte­nance, for starting and stopping the
hedge trimmer. Familiarise with all con­trols and the proper use of the hedge
trimmer.

• Caution! Notice overhead power lines.

• Use of the hedge trimmer should be
avoided when people, especially
children, are nearby.

• If the cutting unit contacts a foreign
body or if the operating noises increa-

13

IE NI

se or the hedge trimmer vibrates with
unusually high force, turn off the motor
and let the hedge trimmer come to a
standstill. Pull the mains plug or remo­ve the battery and take the following
measures:

- check for damages;

- check for loose parts and fasten all
loose parts;

- replace damaged parts with equiva­lent parts or have them repaired.

Operation

• Switch the appliance off and remove
the mains plug or battery before:

- cleaning or removing a blockage;

- inspection, servicing or work on the
hedge trimmer;

- adjusting the working position of the
cutting unit;

- leaving the hedge trimmer unattended.

• Always ensure that the hedge trimmer
is properly placed in one of the indica­ted working positions before the motor
is started.

• Do not use the hedge trimmer with a de­fective or strongly worn-out cutting unit.

• To avoid the risk of re, ensure that the

motor is free from deposits and leaves.

• Always ensure that all handles and
safety devices are mounted when you
use the hedge trimmer. Never try to
use an incomplete hedge trimmer or a
hedge trimmer with impermissible mo-

dications.

• Always use both hands when the
hedge trimmer is equipped with two
handles.

• Always familiarise with your surroun­dings and pay attention to potential
dangers that you cannot hear because
of the noise the hedge trimmer makes.

• Keep cable away from cutting area.
During operation the cable may be

hidden in shrubs and can be acciden­tally cut by the blade.

• Keep all parts of the body away from
the cutter blade. Do not remove cut
material or hold material to be cut
when blades are moving. Make sure
the switch is off when clearing jammed
material. A moment of inattention
while operating the hedge trimmer
may result in serious personal injury.

• Children must never use the hedge
trimmer.

Maintenance and storage

• If the hedge trimmer is taken out of ope­ration for purposes of maintenance, in­spection or storage, turn off the motor,
unplug the mains plug or remove the
battery and make absolutely sure that
all rotating parts have come to a stand­still. Let the machine cool down before
you check or adjust it, etc.

• Carry the hedge trimmer by the

handle with the cutter blade
stopped. When transporting
or storing the hedge trimmer

always t the cutting device

cover. Proper handling of the hedge
trimmer will reduce possible personal
injury from the cutter blades.

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

14

NIIE

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

ying chip material and accidental

contact with the saw chain.

• Do not use the chainsaw to
work on trees. Operating a chain-

saw on a tree poses the risk of injury.

• Ensure you are standing rmly

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 bres 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 impro-

perly 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.

a

Bild 1

• 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).

b

15

IE NI

• 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 rmly with both

hands with thumbs and n-

gers 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 specied

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.

Brush cutter - kickback
causes and how to avoid
them with a 3-tooth blade

In the event of a kickback, the

operator will feel a powerful
blow from the combination
machine. This may lead to lo­sing control of the device and
serious injury. You can avoid
kickbacks through caution
and proper technique.

While working with the 3- tooth blade the­re is a risk of kickback if the blade edge
hits an obstacle (stone, wood).

• Hold the device with both hands.

• Make sure there are no obstacles on the
ground and do not
use the 3-tooth blade
near fences, metal
posts or similar. Use
only properly sharpe­ned tools. To cut thick

stems, switch the device to position A.

Additional safety
instructions

• If possible, connect the device only to

a socket with a residual current device
(RCD) with a tripping current of not
more than 30 mA.

• If replacement of the connecting cable

becomes necessary, this is to be carri­ed out by the manufacturer or its agent
in order to avoid safety risks.

• Hold the electric tool only by the in-

sulated gripping surfaces, as the saw
chain may come into contact with con-

Do not use the equipment wi-

thout the hand guard. Wear
suitable clothing and work
gloves when working with
the equipment.
Ensure that the equipment is
functional before each use.
The On/Off switch and the
safety switch must not be
held closed. They must switch
off the motor when on is
released. Should a switch
be damaged, stop working
with the equipment. Ensure
that the mains voltage va­lue matches the label on the
equipment.

Note noise protection and local

specications. The use of the equip­ment on certain days (e.g. Sundays
and national holidays), at certain
times of day (lunch times, night time
quiet periods) or in special areas
(e.g. health resorts, clinics etc.) is
restricted or forbidden.

Chain lubrication

Filling with chain oil:

• Check the oil level indicator on the oil
tank (
oil if the minimum mark „MIN“ (
is reached on the oil level indicator. The
oil tank holds about 120 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).

1. Unscrew the oil tank cap (41) and pour

the chain oil into the tank.

Swivelling Out the

Blade Beam

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 ows to the blade bar as soon as

the motor starts working.

• 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 xed 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

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.

1. Cut the sides of a hedge rst. 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.

2. Cut the top edge, according to taste,

in a at shape, roof shape or rounded

shape

3. Trim young plants to the required
shape. The main growth should re­main undamaged until the hedge has
reached the planned height. All other
shoots are lopped off to half size.

Care of Free-Growing Hedges:

Free-growing 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 kick-

back 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 rst 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 rst cut (with the

underside of the blade) (b).

25

IE NI

• Sawing in sections:
Saw off large or long branches in sec-

tions so that you have control over the
place where the branch section lands.

• Saw the lower branches of the tree off

rst 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 order
to 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

gloves or taking regular breaks. Note
that a personal tendency for poor cir­culation, low outdoor temperatures, or
high gripping forces during work will
reduce the length of use.

• While using the pole pruner/hedge

trimmer, pay attention to the specied

working angle of max. 60°
der to ensure that you work safely with
the device.

• Always stand on the slope above or to
the side of the branch to be sawn.

• Hold the device as close as possible
to your body. This will ensure the best
balance.
