ENGLISH
• Guide Bar - A solid railed structure that supports and guides
the sawchain.
• Guide Bar Scabbard - Enclosure fitted over guide bar to
prevent tooth contact when saw is not inuse.
• Kickback - The backward or upward motion, or both of the
guide bar occurring when the saw chain near the nose of the
top area of the guide bar contacts any object such as a log or
branch, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain
in thecut.
• Reduced Kickback Chain - A chain that complies with
the kickback performance requiremens. (when tested on a
representative sample of chainsaws.
• Reduced Kickback Guide Bar - A guide bar which has been
demonstrated to reduce kickbacksignificantly.
• Replacement Saw Chain - A chain that complies with
kickback performance requirements when tested with specific
chain saws. It may not meet performance requirements when
used with othersaws.
• Saw Chain - A loop of chain having cutting teeth, that cut the
wood, and that is driven by the motor and is supported by the
guidebar.
• Spiked Bumper (Spike) - The pointed tooth or teeth for
use when pruning to pivot the saw and maintain position
whilesawing.
• Switch - A device that when operated will complete or
interrupt an electrical power circuit to the motor of the
chainsaw.
• Switch Lockout - A movable stop that prevents the
unintentional operation of the switch until manuallyactuated.
• Trimming (Pruning) - Process of cutting limbs from atree.
• Undercut - An upward cut from underside of a log or limb.
This is done while in normal cutting position and cutting with
top of guidebar.
Storage
1 . Store indoors. The best storage place is one that is cool and
dry away from direct sunlight, excess heat or cold and out of
the reach ofchildren.
2 . Always reduce the tension off the chain again after
finishing work. The chain contracts as it cools down. If
tension is not reduced, it can damage thesaw.
Residual Risks
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
• Impairment ofhearing.
• Risk of personal injury due to flyingparticles.
• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
duringoperation.
• Risk of personal injury due to prolongeduse.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Chargers
chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be as easy
as possible tooperate.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate. Also make sure that the voltage of
your charger corresponds to that of yourmains.
Your charger is double insulated in accordance with
EN60335; therefore no earth wire isrequired.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a specially
prepared cord available through the serviceorganisation.
Mains Plug Replacement
(U.K. & Ireland Only)
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
• Safely dispose of the oldplug.
• Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in theplug.
• Connect the blue lead to the neutralterminal.

WARNING: No connection is to be made to the
earthterminal.
Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs.
Recommended fuse: 3A.
Using an Extension Cable
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use an approved extension cable suitable for
the power input of your charger (see Technical Data). The
minimum conductor size is 1mm
2
; the maximum length
is30m.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cablecompletely.
Important Safety Instructions for All Battery
Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important
safety and operating instructions for compatible battery
chargers (refer to TechnicalData).
• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on charger, battery pack, and product using
batterypack.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get
inside charger. Electric shock mayresult.

WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA orless.

CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury,
charge only rechargeable batteries. Other types of
batteries may burst causing personal injury anddamage.

CAUTION: Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with theappliance.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged into the power supply, the exposed charging
contacts inside the charger can be shorted by foreign
material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such
as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil or any
