4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE 
a)  Do not force the power tool. Use the 
correct power tool for your application. 
The correct power tool will do the job 
better and safer at the rate for which it was 
designed. 
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch 
does not turn it on and off. Any power 
tool that cannot be controlled with 
the switch is dangerous and must be 
repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power 
source and/or the battery pack from 
the power tool before making any 
adjustments, changing accessories, or 
storing power tools. Such preventive 
safety measures reduce the risk of 
starting the power tool accidentally. 
d) 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. 
e) Maintain power tools. 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. 
f)  Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 
Properly maintained cutting tools with 
sharp cutting edges are less likely to 
bind and are easier to control. 
g) 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. 
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a)  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.
b) Use power tools only with specifically 
designated battery packs. Use of any 
other battery packs may create a risk of 
injury and fire.
c) 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.
d) 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.
6) SERVICE
a)  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. 
 
CHAIN SAW SAFETY 
WARNINGS 
1.  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.
2.  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.
3.  Hold  the power tool 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 power 
tool “live” and could give the operator an 
electric shock.
