Power tool use and care
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-
rect power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch
2.
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 the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery
pack, if detachable, 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.
4. 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.
5. Maintain power tools and accessories.
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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
6.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
7. 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 oper-
ations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do
not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
When using the tool, do not wear cloth
9.
work gloves which may be entangled.
The entanglement of cloth work gloves in the
moving parts may result in personal injury.
Battery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is suit-
able for one type of battery pack may create
a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
2. Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
3. When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, addition-
ally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
5.
damaged or modified. Damaged or mod-
ified batteries may exhibit unpredictable
behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure
to fire or temperature above 130 °C may
cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qual-
1.
ified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
2. Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be per-
formed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers.
3. Follow instruction for lubricating and
changing accessories.
4. Do not modify or attempt to repair the
appliance or the battery pack except as
indicated in the instructions for use and
care.
Cordless Chain saw safety warnings
Keep all parts of the body away from the
1.
saw chain when the chain saw is operat-
ing. 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 entangle-
ment of your clothing or body with the saw
chain.
