and always wear safety goggles. Wearing
personal protection (such as dust masks,
non-slip safety shoes, safety helmet or ear
protection, depending upon the type and use
of the electric tool) reduces the risk of injury.
c) Make sure that the appliance cannot start
up accidentally. Ensure that the electric
tool is switched off before you connect
it to the power supply and/or insert the
battery, or pick up or carry the tool. If your
fi nger is on the switch whilst carrying the elec-
tric tool or if you connect the appliance to the
mains when it is switched on, this can lead to
accidents.
d) Remove keys and wrenches before swit-
ching on the electric tool. A tool or key
which comes into contact with rotating parts
of the appliance can lead to injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal working postures. Make
sure you stand squarely and keep your
balance at all times. In this way, you can
control the electric tool better in unexpected
circumstances.
f) Wear suitable work clothes. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clo-
thes and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can get
trapped in moving parts.
g) If vacuuming devices and draining de-
vices can be fi tted, make sure that these
are correctly attached and correctly used.
The use of a dust extraction system can redu-
ce the danger posed by dust.
Do not lose this safety information.
4. Usage and treatment of the electric tool
a) Do not overload the appliance. Use the
correct tool for your work. You will be able
to work better and more safely within the gi-
ven performance boundaries.
b) Do not use an electric tool with a defec-
tive switch. An electric tool that cannot be
switched on or off is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c) Pull the plug out of the socket and/or
remove the battery before making any ad-
justments to the appliance, changing ac-
cessories or put the appliance down. This
safety measure prevents starting the electric
tool unintentionally.
d) Keep unused electric tools out of the
reach of children. Do not allow people
who are not familiar with the appliance or
who have not read these instructions to

use the appliance. Electric tools are dange-
rous if they are used by inexperienced people.
e) Clean your electric tool carefully. Check
whether moving parts are functioning
properly and not jamming, whether parts
are broken or damaged enough that the
functioning of this electric tool is aff ec-
ted. Have damaged parts repaired before
using the appliance. Many accidents are
caused by badly maintained electric tools.
f) Keep your cutting tools sharp and clean.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges will jam less and are easier to
control.
g) Make sure to use electric tools, accesso-
ries, attachments, etc. in accordance with
these instructions. Take the conditions in
your work area and the job in hand into
account. Using electric tools for any purpose
other than the one for which they are intended
can lead to dangerous situations.
5. Service
a) Have your electric tool repaired only by
trained personnel using only genuine
spare parts. This will ensure that your elec-
tric tool remains safe to use.

Special safety instructions for chainsaws
•
When the chainsaw is running make sure
that you keep all parts of your body away
from the chainsaw. Before starting up
the chainsaw make sure that it is not tou-

a chainsaw, a single moment of carelessness
is all it takes for clothing or parts of your body
to get caught by the chainsaw.
•
Always hold the chainsaw securely with
your right hand on the rear handle and
your left hand on the front handle. Holding
the chainsaw with your hands in other posi-
tions increases the risk of injury and is there-
fore not allowed.
•
Wear safety goggles and ear protection.
Other safety equipment for the head,
hands, legs and feet is recommended.
Correct protective clothing reduces the risk
of injury caused by catapulted chips or in the
event of accidental contact with the chainsaw.
•
Never use the chainsaw up a tree. You risk
injuring yourself if you use the chainsaw up a
tree.

Always maintain a steady standing po-
