in fire and/or serious injury.
Save these instructions
1) Work area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and 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) 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) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
d) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance

Additional safety rules for electric
chain saws
Note. For safety reasons the electric chain saw is shipped
with the chain brake fully engaged. This brake must be
released before the saw becomes operational.
• Never cut into the ground.
• Never cut into wire fences.
• Never cut into saplings.
• Never cut into prepared wood.
• Use the Chainsaw to cut only wood.
• Remove the plug from the mains immediately if the
supply cable is damaged or cut.
• Use the bar cover when moving the electric chain saw
away from the working site.
• During transport the brake must be applied to avoid
accidental start-up.
• Make sure the tool is disconnected when checking,
tightening, changing or cleaning the chain.
• Always disconnect the electric chain saw when not in
use, to avoid damage to third persons.
• Do not expose the electric chain saw to rain or windy
conditions or in poor light.
• Find a suitable position before beginning work.
• When working on slopes, the saw operator must stand
beside or above the wood to cut, i.e. felled trees.
• Use the electric chain saw holding it firmly with both
hands.
• Make a wedge-shaped cut before felling the tree, then
the felling cut leaving a hinge for the felling direction.
• Beware of any falling branches after felling operations.
• Beware of wood splinters when cutting chopped wood.
• Ensure your chain saw is suitable for the job.
• Never work above shoulder level or reach out to cut a
branch: ensure you have stable footing at all times.
• It is advisable to provide a support for the electric chain
saw when cutting branches. Do not cut using the bar
point and beware of branches under tension.
• Children under 18 must not use electric chain saws.
• The machine must not work in an explosive environment.
• Keep people away from the electric chain saw when
in use.
• Check the following conditions before beginning work:
• There should be no people in the felling area.
• Make sure there is a second person within calling
distance.
• The working area should be free from obstacles.
• Wear suitable clothes which do not hinder movement.
• Use specific protections during operations involving head,
hands, feet, eyes and ears.
• It is recommended the use of a helmet with a visor during
felling, branch cutting and chopping operations.
• Wear gloves with an external protection when using the
electric chain saw.
• Use ear protection to prevent hearing injuries.
• Wear safety boots when using the electric chainsaw.
Additional safety rules for pole trimmers
For your own safety, please note the included general safety
information, and please also note these additional advices:
• Always wear a helmet and safety gloves when working
with the pole saw.
• We also recommend strongly wearing eye protection to
keep oil spray and sawdust out of your eyes.
• Never use the pole saw while standing on a ladder.
• Do not use the electric pole saw in rain.
6
• Do not stand under the branch you are cutting. Branches
may fall without warning. Work at an angle of no more
than 60°.
• Keep in mind that, when using the upper point of the saw,
the pole saw may kick back quite violently.
• Keep your eyes not only on the branches you are cutting,
also keep an eve on the ground to prevent tripping over
branches that already have fallen.
• Always wear gloves when handling the saw chain.
Danger!
BEWARE OF KICKBACK!
WARNING! Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of control
of the chainsaw and result in serious or fatal injury to the
saw operator or to anyone standing close by. Always be
alert. Rotational kickback and pinch kickback are major
chainsaw operational dangers and the leading cause of
most accidents.
General notes
The pruner is a rugged, powerful device, but you should
nevertheless note a few words of advice. Always make sure
that there is enough oil in the oil tank.
The chain should always be well-oiled, if necessary soak
the chain in biodegradable chainsaw oil before starting
work. While using the pruner make sure that the chain is
always well-soaked in oil. If this is not the case manually oil
the chain.
Make sure that the oil level does not drop under the
minimum mark. Some light smoking is inevitable and no
reason for concern. Lift off the black plastic cover after every
use and clean the area under it. Also clean the pinhole in
the oil container lid after each use. Keep the groove in the
guide bar clean at all times.
If the unit fails to oil the chain properly it may well be that
the groove is full of saw dust and bark shavings. Remove
the chain and clean out the groove with a suitable tool or
blow it out with compressed air. To keep the unit at top
performance the chain must be sharp.
If you notice that the unit’s performance is not as it should
be and the chain does not eat into the wood by itself, the
chain should be sharpened. Either use the saw chain
sharpener or have the chain sharpened by a professional.
When the chain is ground down to the wear mark it should
be replaced. Saw chains are available in sets of two and
one drive sprocket. The drive sprocket should be changed
after every second chain.

Important Notes:
5. Clean oil and saw dust out of the area under the plastic
cover with a brush or blow it out with compressed air. Be
especially sure to clean out the oil duct.
6. Clean the groove of the guide bar with a suitable tool
of blow it out with compressed air. Take special care to
clean the oil ducts in the guide bar. Inspect the chain
guides for wear and if necessary carefully smooth them
with a file and emery cloth. If the guide bar is at some
point worn beyond repair it must be replaced with a new
one.
7. Place the chain (24) with the chain links in the direction
shown around the guide bar.
8. Loop the chain around the drive sprocket wheel (21).
9. Place the guide bar (10) in position over the threaded
stud with the chain tensioning pin (23), in the hole in the
guide bar.
10. Fit the chain drive cover and fasten the nut, finger tight.
11. Tighten the chain tensioner screw (23) until the links of
the chain just touch the bottom edge of the guide bar.
12 Tighten the nut with spanner.
13. Check that the chain
can be smoothly pulled
around the guide bar
by hand and that it
maintains contact
with the guide bar, top
and bottom. To check
tension, rotate the chain
to its tightest condition
then suspend a 0.9kg
weight from the chain
12
at the mid point of the
underside of the bar.
The maximum distance
between the driving links
and the bar should be
6.5mm.
Note. Ensure the unit is
unplugged when making
any adjustments to the chain
and bar.
CAUTION. A new chain will stretch after just a few minutes
of use. Check and, if necessary, re-adjust the chain tension.
A loose chain causes rapid wear to both the chain and the
guide bar and could derail causing a major safety hazard.
Chain tension
The chain should not be too
loose, but you should be
able to lift it off the guide bar
a few millimetres. Use the
chain tensioner to tension
the chain.
Always pull the power plug
before undertaking any
maintenance work. The allen
head screw of the chain
tensioner is at the front of the pole saw’s hear next to the
guide bar. Turning it clockwise tightens the chain, turning it
counter-clockwise slackens the chain. Beware of the sharp
edges of the saw chain.
Working with the pruner
Do not work with an angle higher than 60°. The pole saw
will work under higher degrees, but there is the danger of
being injured by branches falling without warning.
Keep an eye at the ground while working to avoid tripping
over fallen branches.
Never use the pole saw without oil, use biodegradable
chainsaw oil.
To operate the pruner push forward the safety switch and
then pull the switch.
The pruner is equipped with a low-kickback chain and it was
also done everything from an engineering point of view to
keep kickback low. Nevertheless, some kickback can not
be avoided when cutting with the upper tip of the blade. Be
prepared for some kickback when using this area of the
blade or hitting another branch with this area. Always hold
the unit firmly in both hands.
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.
When cutting off lager branches, you should first cut into
the branch form below. First cut into the branch from below
outside the place where you intend to cut off the branch.
The cut should go from one third to halfway through the
branch. This prevents the branch from buckling when you
cut into the branch from the top outside the first cut. Last cut
off the stump with one clean cut. You might want to seal the
cut with a suitable compound.
Chain sharpening and maintenance
WARNING. Always ensure that the tool is switched
off and the plug is removed from the power point before
making any adjustments or maintenance procedures.
The chain requires sharpening when the chain saw does
not cut appropriately, this operation is performed as follows.
1. Extend the chain bar.
2. Fix the bar in a vice so that the chain can slide.
13
3. Fit the file in a file holder (not included) and place it over
the tooth at 35°.
4. File forward only until all the worn part of the tooth has
been eliminated.
5. Count the file movements made on the first tooth and do
the same on all the others, both right and left.
6. After some sharpening the delimiting device on the
chain will exceed the height of the cutting teeth, file the
exceeding part by means of a flat file to round off the
depth delimiting device.
7. Ensure that the chain is replaced before stretching to
exceed the maximum adjustment of the chain saw bar.
8. ‘Deep’ Filing should be performed with an electric file. We
advise to use a service centre to perform this operation.
9. Ensure that the chain slides smoothly over the bar when
pulled with hands. Periodically sharpen chain and check
the chain tension.
10. Bars with sprockets need frequent greasing which can
be performed as follows:
• Fill a syringe or similar device with grease for bearings.
• Each time the saw is used grease through the hole
provided near the bar tip until the grease penetrated onto
the tip.
• After 3 times of sharpening the chain your self have it
professionally sharpened. This will ensure that all the
teeth are even.
To avoid damage to the motor, do not keep the chain saw
running if the chain is lodged in the wood.
Chainsaw maintenance
WARNING. Always ensure that the tool is switched
off and the plug is removed from the power point before
making any adjustments or maintenance procedures.
• Always keep the air holes clean on the electric chain saw
body. They tend to become clogged with sawdust during
use and this affects the efficiency of cooling, causing
overheating of the motor the other fundamental parts of
the electric chain saw.
• Do not operate the chainsaw with the air intake on the
ground as this will draw foreign particles into the motor
area and damage the windings of the motor.
• Regularly check to see if any dust or foreign matter has
entered the grills near the motor and around the on/off
switch. Use a soft brush to remove any accumulated
dust. Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes whilst
cleaning.
• If the body of the tool needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft
damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but nothing like
alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent.
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
• Turn the bar periodically to use both the sides so that
it wears evenly.
• It is essential that motor cooling vents are kept free from
a build-up of sawdust and this decreases the engines
tools cooling capacity and causes overheating damage to
the motor as well as other important equipment, oil pump
etc. It is recommended that this is carried out after every
use.
• Clean the guide and oil holes periodically.
• Deburr the race sides periodically with a flat file. Time
may cause any “Burrs” to detach and damage the bar.
• The bar needs to be evened with a flat file if one of the
races is higher than another and then smoothed with a
file and fine sandpaper. If races are considerably worn,
check that the height is always greater than the chains
transmission links so that the latter do not touch the
bottom. Replace the bar if this should occur.
The chainsaw should be periodically serviced to check the
correct operation of the chain, chain drive, motor and brake.
CAUTION. Water must never come into contact with
the tool.
14
First time user
If you are not familiar with chain saws and the felling
of trees, it is recommended that you obtain informed
instructions in addition to reading this manual fully. We also
recommend as a minimum that you practice cutting logs on
a saw-horse or log cradle.
General inspection
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight.
They may vibrate loose over time.
Power cord maintenance
If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried
out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s agent, or an
authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety hazard.
Storage
• Clean the electric chain saw with a dry cloth, do not use
aggressive cleaning fluids.
• Replace the electric chain saw blade cover and store in
a dry place. Do not store in hot, dry boiler rooms or other
damp places.
If you do not intent to use the pruner for some time, e.g.
over the winter, the biodegradable chainsaw oil must be
drained from the oil tank and the oil ducts, because it will
gum. Pour remaining oil out of the oil tank and store it in
a dark, cool place. Pour a spoonful of mineral oil into the
oil tank. Spray penetrating lubricant on the chain and let
the saw run for a few moments to spread the mineral oil
through the oil pump and the oil ducts. When using the pole
saw again liberally apply chainsaw oil.
Repairs
Repairs beyond those described above, should only be
undertaken by trained personal. Should a malfunction occur
do not use the unit any further and do not attempt to repair
it yourself. Contact 909 Customer Support or have the unit
repaired by a professional.
