ENGLISH
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 tools
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. Battery tool use and care
a. 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.
b. Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
c. 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.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
make sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional power tool safety warnings
!
Warning! Additional safety warnings for chainsaws.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces

when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
6
Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and give the operator an
electric shock.
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 the chainsaw may cause entanglement of
your clothing or body with the chainsaw.
Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on

the rear handle and your left hand on the front
handle. Holding the chainsaw with the reversed hand
configuration increases the risk of personal injury and
should never be done.
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 guide bar cover. 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 the chainsaw
for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building
