Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
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) 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.

cHaInSaw SafeTy warnInGS:
• keep all parts of the body away from
the saw chain when the chainsaw
is operating. Before you start the
chainsaw, make sure the saw chain
is not contacting anything. A moment
of inattention while operating chainsaws
may cause entanglement of your clothing
or body with the saw chain.
• always hold the chainsaw with your
right hand on the rear handle and
your left hand on the front handle.
Holding the chainsaw with a reversed
hand configuration increases the risk of
personal injury and should never be done.
• Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces only, because the
saw chain may contact hidden wiring
or its own cord. Saw chains contacting
a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
• Wear safety glasses and hearing
protection. further protective
equipment for head, hands, legs
and feet is recommended. Adequate
protective clothing will reduce personal
injury by flying debris or accidental
contact with the saw chain.
• Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree.
Operation of a chainsaw while up in a
tree may result in personal injury.
• Always keep proper footing and
operate the chainsaw 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 chainsaw.
• 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 chainsaw out
of control.
• use extreme caution when cutting
brush and saplings. The slender material
may catch the saw chain and be whipped
toward you or pull you off balance.
• Carry the chainsaw by the front
handle with the chainsaw switched
off and away from your body. when
transporting or storing the chainsaw
always fit the scabbard. Proper
handling of the chainsaw will reduce the
likelihood of accidental contact with the
moving saw chain.
• Follow instructions for lubricating,
chain tensioning and changing
accessories. Improperly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from
oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are
slippery causing loss of control.
• Cut wood only. Do not use chainsaw
for purposes not intended. for
example: do not use chainsaw for
cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood
building materials. Use of the chainsaw
for operations different than intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
