•
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.
Battery tool use and care
•
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.
•
Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
•
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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 chain saw in a tree. Operation of a
chain saw while up in a tree may result in personal injury.
•
Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw
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 chain saw.
•
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 chain saw out of control.

battery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
•
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.
•
When servicing a power tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

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 chain saw by the front handle with the
chain saw switched off and away from your body.
When transporting or storing the chain saw always fit
the guide bar cover.
Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the likely
hood 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 chain saw for purposes
not intended. For example: do not use chain saw for
cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building
materials. Use of the chain saw for operations different
than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
