■
Use power tools, accessories, insertion
tools, etc. according to these instructions.
When doing so, take account of the work-
ing conditions and the activity to be un-
dertaken. Using power tools for applications
other than the intended purpose can result in
dangerous situations.
■
Keep the grips and grip surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slip-
pery grips and grip surfaces prevent safe op-
eration and control of the power tool in un-
foreseen situations.

Safety in the workplace

■
Keep your working area clean, and make
sure it is well illuminated. Untidiness or
dimly lit working areas can lead to accidents.
■
Do not work with the power tool in a po-
tentially explosive atmosphere with the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools give rise to sparks that can
ignite the dust or vapours.
■
Keep children and other people away from
the power tool when using it. If you are dis-
tracted, you may lose control of the power
tool.
3.6 Use and handling of the rechargeable
battery-operated tool
■
Only recharge batteries with chargers that
are recommended by the manufacturer.
Using a charger intended for one particular
type of rechargeable battery with a different
type of rechargeable battery represents a fire
risk.
■
Only use batteries in the power tools that
are intended for this purpose. Using other
batteries can lead to injuries and represents
the risk of fire.
■
Keep the unused rechargeable battery
away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects that
could short-circuit the contacts. A short
circuit between the rechargeable battery con-
tacts can result in burns or fire.
■
Incorrect use can result in fluid leaking
out of the rechargeable battery. Avoid
coming into contact with it. In case of in-
advertent contact, rinse off with water. If
the fluid gets into your eyes, additionally
seek medical assistance. Leaking re-
chargeable battery fluid can lead to skin irrita-
tions or burns.

■
Do not use a damaged or changed re-
chargeable battery. Damaged or changed
batteries can behave unpredictably and lead
to fire, explosion or a risk of injury.
■
Do not expose a rechargeable battery to
fire or high temperatures. Fire or tempera-
tures over 130 °C can cause an explosion.
■
Comply with all of the instructions for
charging, and never charge the recharge-
able battery or the rechargeable battery-
operated tool outside of the temperature
range specified in the operating instruc-
tions. Incorrect charging or charging outside
of the permissible temperature range can de-
stroy the rechargeable battery and increase
the risk of fire.
3.7

Service

■
For your own safety, only have your pow-
er tool repaired by qualified specialist per-
sonnel using genuine spare parts. This en-
sures that the power tool remains safe.
■
Never maintain damaged batteries. All re-
chargeable battery maintenance should only
ever be undertaken by the manufacturer or
authorised customer service points.
3.8 Safety information for chain saws (EN
60745 Part 2-13)
■
Keep all parts of your body away from the
saw chain when the saw is running. Be-
fore starting the saw, make sure that noth-
ing is touching the saw chain. When work-
ing with a chain saw, one moment of inatten-
tion can mean your clothing or parts of your
body coming into contact with the saw chain.
■
Always hold the chain saw with your right
hand on the rear grip and your left hand
on the front grip. Holding the chain saw with
your hands the other way around increases
the risk of injury and is not allowed.
■
Hold the electrical tool using the insulated
handle surfaces because the saw chain
could come into contact with its own
mains cable. Contact between the saw chain
and a live cable can result in electrical cur-
rent flowing through metal parts of the ma-
chine, leading to electric shock.
■
Wear protective goggles and ear defend-
ers. Further protective equipment is rec-
ommended for the head, hands, legs and
feet. Appropriate protective clothing reduces
the risk of injury due to flying chips and inad-
vertent contact with the saw chain.
