Kickback

WARNING! Beware of kickback! Kickback

can lead to dangerous loss of control of the
product and result in serious or fatal injury to the
operator or anyone standing close by!
Always be alert because rotational kickback and
pinch kickback are major product operational
dangers and the leading cause of most accidents!

a). Kickback is the sudden backward/upward
motion of the product, occurring when the chain
(at the tip of the chain bar) comes in contact with a
log or wood, or when the chain becomes jammed.
b). When kickback occurs the product reacts
unpredictably and can cause severe injuries to
the operator or bystanders.
c). With a basic understanding of 'kickback', the
element of surprise can be reduced or eliminated.
Sudden surprise contributes to the majority of
accidents.
d). You should read all the safety warnings and user
instructions carefully before attempting to operate
this product.
To avoid kickback:

- Never work with a loose, overstretched or worn
out chain

- Ensure chain is sharpened correctly

- Never work with the tip of the guide bar

- Always hold the tool firmly with both hands

- Always use a low kickback chain

- Ensure correct chain tension

PRUNER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.Do not overwork yourself. Take regular breaks to
ensure concentrated work and full control
over the product. A moment of inattention while
operating the product may result in serious
personal injury.

2. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw
chain. Do not remove cut material or hold
material to be cut when saw chain is moving.
Make sure the product is switched off when
clearing jammed material. A moment of inattention
while operating the product may result in serious
personal injury.

3. Hold the product by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the saw chain may contact hidden
wiring. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the product "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.

4. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw
chain when the product is operating. Before
you start the product, make sure the saw
chain is not contacting anything. A moment of
inattention while operating this product may cause
entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw
chain.

5. Always hold the product with your right hand
on the rear handle and your left hand on the front
handle. Holding the product with a reversed hand
configuration increases the risk of personal injury
and should never be done.

6. Wear safety glasses and hearing protection.
Further protective equipment for head, hands,
legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective
clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris
or accidental contact with the saw chain.

7. Do not operate the product in a tree. Operation of
a product while up in a tree may result in personal
injury.

8. Always keep proper footing and operate the
product only when standing on fixed, secure
and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces
such as ladders may cause a loss of balance
or control of the product.

9. When cutting a limb that is under tension be
alert for spring back. When the tension in the
wood fibres is released the spring loaded limb may
strike the operator and/or throw the product out of
control.

10. Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings. The slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.

11. Carry the product by the front handle with the
product switched off and away from your
body. When transporting or storing the product
always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling
of the product will reduce the likelihood of
accidental contact with the moving saw chain.

12. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly

tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.

13. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing
loss of control.

14. Cut wood only. Do not use the product for
purposes not intended. For example: do not use
the product for cutting plastic, masonry or non­wood building materials. Use of the product for
operations different than intended could result in a
hazardous situation.

15. Pay attention to national and local regulations.
National and local regulations may restrict the use
of this product.

16. Remove branches in sections.

17. Beware of dangerous operating positions
as well as of the risk of being struck by falling
branches or by those that rebound after hitting the
ground.

18. Beware of overhead power lines. Do not use
the product in any position that causes any part to
come within 10m of overhead electrical lines.

19. Never cut in areas where the cutting
attachment is out of sight.

Pruning

a). Always hold the product firmly with both hands
on gripping surface, and use the harness (A8) .
Never operate this product using only one hand.
(See Fig. 15a)
b). Maintain a firm grip with your thumbs and
fingers encircling the handles. A firm grip will
help you reduce 'kickback' and maintain control of
the product.
c). Always hold the product at an angle of not more
than 60° from the horizontal level. Otherwise safe
operation is not possible. (See Fig. 15b)
d). Never stand directly under the limb you are
sawing. Objects may fall different than expected.
Always position yourself out of the path of falling
limps. (See Fig. 15c)

e). Keep other persons away from cutting end of
product and at a safe distance from the work
area. Maintain a minimum distance of 10m to
bystanders. (See Fig. 15d)

WARNING! Never climb into a tree to prune!

Do not stand on ladders, platforms, logs,

or in any position which may cause you to
lose your balance or control of the product!
When pruning trees, it is important not to make the
flush cut next to main limb or trunk until you have
cut off the limb further out to reduce the weight!
This prevents stripping the bark from the main
member!

f). Never stand on a ladder or other type of unstable
support while using the product. Insecure
stand invites hazards. (See Fig. 15e)

WARNING! This product has not been

designed to provide protection from electric

shock in the event of contact with overhead
electric lines! Therefore do not use product near
cable, electric power or telephone lines. Keep a
minimum distance of 10 m to all electric lines. (See
Fig. 15f)!

g). Use the product only with secure footing. Hold
the product at the right-hand side of your body.
h). Do not operate the product with arms fully
extended or attempt to cut areas which are difficult
to reach.
i). Keep a firm, steady pressure on the product
while working with it. Do not try to force the
product through the wood, let the cutting device do
the work, using the gripping teeth to apply minimal
leverage pressure.
j). Beware when reaching the end of the cut. The
weight of the product may change unexpectedly as
it cuts free from the wood. Accidents can occur to
the legs and feet. Always remove the product from
a wood cut while it is running.
NOTE: The chain must be running at full speed
before it comes into contact with the wood.

Cut thin branches

Thin branches can be cut off with one single cut.
To prevent the branch from slivering and buckling
the branch should be cut off in several pieces. (See
Fig. 16)

Cut thick branches

When cutting larger branches, three cuts are
necessary as shown below:

NOTE: Remove the branches lying on the floor
regularly to avoid stumbling hazards. Check
the oil level regularly and fill up if necessary.
Switch the power off and disconnect from power
source when leaving the product.

a). First cut into the branch from below, outside of
the location where you intend to cut off the
branch. The cut should go one third to halfway
through the branch. (See Fig. 17a)
b). Cut into the branch from the top, outside from
where the branch is to be sawn. (See Fig. 17b)
c). Last, cut off the stump with one clean cut from
top to bottom. You might want to seal the cut
with a suitable compound. (See Fig. 17c)
d). You might want to seal the cut with a suitable
compound.

NOTE: Remove the branches lying on the floor
regularly to avoid stumbling hazards. Check
the oil level regularly and fill up if necessary.
Switch the power off and disconnect from power
source when leaving the product.

AFTER USE

1). Switch the product off, allow the engine to cool
down and then remove the spark plug connector.

2). Check, clean and store the product as described
below.
