thrown or cause dangerous kickback and result in
serious injury and/or property damage.
Electrical and battery safety
1. Avoid dangerous environment. Don't use the
tool in dump or wet locations or expose it to
rain. Water entering the tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
2. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire.
The cell may explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.
3. Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies). Released
electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to
the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.

6. Do not replace the battery in the rain.
7. Do not wet the terminal of battery with liquid
such as water, or submerge the battery. Do not
leave the battery in the rain, nor charge, use,
or store the battery in a damp or wet place. If
the terminal gets wet or liquid enters inside of bat-
tery, the battery may be short circuited and there is
a risk of overheat, fire, or explosion.
After removing the battery from the tool or
8.
charger, be sure to attach the battery cover to
the battery and store it in a dry place.
9. If the battery cartridge gets wet, drain the
water inside and then wipe it with a dry cloth.
Dry the battery cartridge completely in a dry
place before use.
Putting into operation
1. The cutting tool has to be equipped with the
guard. Never run the tool with damaged guards
or without guards in place!
2. Make sure there are no electrical cables, water
pipes, gas pipes etc. that could cause a hazard
if damaged by use of the tool.
Operation
1. Always keep your hands, face, and clothes
away from the cutting tool when it is rotating.
Failure to do so may cause personal injury.
2. During operation, keep bystanders or animals
at least 15 m away from the tool. Stop the tool
as soon as someone approaches.
3. During operation, never stand on an unstable
or slippery surface or a steep slope. During
the cold season, beware of ice and snow and
always ensure secure footing.
4. Never work on a ladder or tree to avoid loss of
control.
5. When you leave the tool, even if it is a short
time, always remove the battery cartridge. The

ting tool is not touching the ground and other
obstacles such as a tree.
