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.
Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
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.
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.
Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above
130°C may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage
the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer
or authorized service providers.
General Chain Saw Safety Warnings
Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chain saw is operating. Before you start the chain
saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating chain saws
may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
Always hold the chain saw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle.
Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury and should never
be done.
Hold the chain saw 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 chain saw “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
Wear eye protection. Further protective equipment for hearing, head, hands, legs and feet is recommended.
Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury from flying debris or accidental contact with the saw
chain.
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder, from a rooftop, or any unstable support. Operation of a chain
saw in this manner could result in serious personal injury.
Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw 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 chain saw.
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 chain saw out of control.
