3 Personal Safety

1) Stay alert and use common sense. Do not use while tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention in its use can cause serious per-
sonal injury.
2) Always wear eye protection such as dust mask, non-slip
safety shoes, helmet or hearing protection. Proper equip-
ment will reduce personal injury.
3) Make sure the switch is in the off position. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the trigger or plugging them
in directly invites accidents.
4) Remove any adjusting key before turning the power tool
on. A spanner left attached to a rotating part of the power
tool can cause personal injury.
5) Maintain posture and balance at all times. This allows
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6) Dress appropriately. Do not wear inappropriate clothing
or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can get
caught in moving parts.
7) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extrac-
tion and collection facilities, ensure that they are connected
and used correctly. The use of these devices can reduce the
risks related to dust.
4 Electric tool, use with care
1) Do not force the tool. Use only for your application. The
right power tool will do the job better and safer at the right
speed.
2) Do not use the 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.
3) Disconnect from power source and/or remove battery
pack before making any adjustments, changing acces-
sories or storing power tools. Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4) Store power tools out of the reach of children and do not
allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these ins-
tructions to use it. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
5) Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect
operation. If damaged, it must be repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poor maintenance.
6) Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting ed-
ges are easier to control.
7) Use the power tool, accessories, etc. according to these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be done. Use of the power tool for opera-
tions other than those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
5 Use and Care of Battery Power Tool
1) Make sure the switch is off before inserting the battery.
Inserting the battery into the tools that have the switch on
causes accidents.
2) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-
facturer. A charger that is not suitable for a type of battery
may create a risk of fire.
3) Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
teries. Use of any other battery may create a risk of injury
and fire.
4) When the battery is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects such as paper, paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, which can be con-
nected from one terminal to another. Short-circuiting the
battery terminals may cause burns or fire.
5) Under abusive conditions, the battery may leak fluid;
avoid contact. If the liquid comes in contact with your eyes,
seek additional medical help. Liquid injected into the bat-
tery may cause irritation or dangerous burns and garves.
6 Service
Have a qualified technician repair your power tool using
only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that sa-
fety is maintained.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING!: Use the proper combination of guide
bar and saw chain. Failure to do so may result
in personal injury.
1. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain
when the saw is in operation. Before turning on the chain
saw, make sure the saw chain is not in contact with
anything. A moment of carelessness while operating the
chainsaw can cause your clothing or body to become en-
tangled in the chain.
2. Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the
rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding
the chainsaw in an inverted manual setting increases the
risk of personal injury and should never be done.
3. Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping surfa-
ces, because the saw chain can meet hidden cables. Saw
chains that meet a "live" cord can cause exposed metal
parts of the power tool to "live" and can cause an electric
shock to the operator.
4. Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Additional
protective equipment for the head, hands, legs, and feet is
recommended. Proper protective clothing will reduce per-
sonal injury from flying debris or accidental contact with
the saw chain.
5. Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree. Operating a chain-
saw while in a tree can result in personal injury.
6. Always maintain a proper position and operate the
chainsaw only when it is standing on a fixed, safe, and level
surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces, such as stairs, can
cause loss of balance or loss of control of the saw.
7. When cutting a branch that is under tension, be alert
for spring back. When the tension on the wood fibres is
released, the spring-loaded limb can hit the operator and /
or cause the chainsaw to lose control.
8. Be very careful when cutting shrubs and young trees.
Thin material can catch the chain saw and be whipped
towards you or knock you off balance.
9. Carry the chainsaw by the front handle with the chain-
