Working Instructions - Scheppach TPX710 Original Bedienungsanleitung

During cutting, the temperature of the chain rises
and its length changes. It is important therefore to
check the chain tension at least every 10 minutes
and to adjust it again as required. This applies in par-
ticular to new saw chains. When you have finished
working, slacken the chain again as it will shorten
when it cools down. This will help to prevent dam-
age to the chain.
Make sure that the adjustment buttons return to their
initial position after adjustment. Otherwise, the tool
will not start.
Do not connect the tool to the electricity supply until
assembly has been completed. If this is not done,
the device could start unintentionally and cause se-
vere injuries.

NOTICES AND TIPS FOR HEDGE TRIMMER
• Find safe footing, operate the device with both
hands and turn it on.
• Cut the hedge from both sides and start at the bot-
tom. In this way, you can prevent cutting-waste fall-
ing into the area that still needs to be cut.
• Guide the device gently through the area of the
hedge.
• Do not attempt to cut too deeply.
• Then cut the upper part of the hedge.
• For older hedges which need more pruning, cut
stronger branches and twigs with loppers first be-
fore cutting the hedge with the device.
Working with pole saw
Oiling of the chain and bar
It is recommended to use commercial chain oil.
Remove the oil tank cap. (15)
Fill the chain oil tank to 80% with chain oil.
Close Oil tank cap
Oil Supply Control
Always make sure the automatic oiler system is work-
ing properly. Keep the oil tank filled with Chain, Bar
and Sprocket Oil.
Adequate lubrication of the bar and chain during cut-
ting operations is essential to minimize friction with
the guide bar.
Never starve the bar and chain of lubricating oil. Run-
ning the saw dry or with too little oil will decrease
cutting efficiency, shorten saw chain life, cause rapid
dulling of chain, and lead to excessive wear of bar
from overheating. Too little oil is evidenced by smoke
or bar discoloration.
To check the saw chain lubrication, hold the chain
saw with the saw chain over a piece of paper and
give a few seconds of full throttle.

The oil quantity can be checked on the paper. The
chain must always be thrown off a small amount of
oil. After a few seconds, a light oil trail must be visible.
Precautions for Saw procedure
Never stand under the branch you want to saw. Use
special caution when working with branches under
tension and splintering wood. Possible risk of injury
caused by falling branches and catapulting pieces of
wood. In general, it is recommended to set the prun-
ing saw at an angle of 60 ° to the road.
Keep both hands well with the device during the cut-
ting process and pay you up to an equilibrium position
and a good level.
Never try to use your tool with one hand. The loss of
control of your tool can cause serious injury or death.
Never work on a ladder, a tree branch or other unsta-
ble surfaces.
Never cut with the upper edge or the tip of the cutter bar.
Make sure that the chain tension is always correctly
adjusted.
Practice for guiding the device slight pressure, but
you do not overload the motor.
Clear the work area before cutting interfering branch-
es and undergrowth. Then you create a retreat area,
far from the spot where the cut branches fall on, and
remove any obstacles there. Keep the work area
clean, remove the cut branches immediately. Pay at-
tention to your point, wind direction and the possible
direction of fall of the branches.
Be prepared that fallen branches can strike back.
Place all other tools and equipment at a safe distance
from the branches to be cut, but not in the retreat
area.
Always observe the condition of the tree.
Look for rot and decay in the roots and branches.
If they are rotten inside, they can break off and fall
down unexpectedly during cutting. You could also at-
tend by fractured and dead branches out, which is
solved by the shake and fall on you. For very thick or
heavy branches you first make a small incision be-
low the branch before you work from the top down to
avoid chipping.
Basic cutting technique
Heavy branches break off easily when sawing. They
tear long strips of bark away from the trunk, which
damages the tree sustainably. The following section
technique can significantly reduce this risk:
Saw the first branch about 10 cm from the trunk.
Put in about 15 cm from the base of the top of a fur-
ther section.
Saw until the branch breaks. The risk of injury on the
trunk is no.
Finally, remove with a clean cut from the top of the
trunk along the remaining.
