Important!
When using equipment, a few safety precautions
must be observed to avoid injuries and damage.
Please read the complete operating manual with
due care. Keep this manual in a safe place, so that
the information is available at all times. If you give
the equipment to any other person, give them these
operating instructions as well.
We accept no liability for damage or accidents which
arise due to non-observance of these instructions and
the safety information.
Safety Information 1
CAUTION!
Read all safety regulations and instructions.
Any errors made in following the safety regulations
and instructions may result in an electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety regulations and instructions
in a safe place for future use.
Explanation of the symbols on the machine
(Fig. 3):
1. Caution!
2. Wear ear protectors.
3. Wear safety goggles.
4. Wear non-slip safety footwear when using this
equipment.
5. Read the operating instructions.
6. Before carrying out any repair, maintenance or
cleaning work, turn off the motor and take out
the battery.
7. Never expose the device to rain.
8. DANGER! Beware of kickback.
9. Keep all bystanders at least 10m away.
Special safety instructions for chainsaws
•When the chainsaw is running make sure
that you keep all parts of your body away
from the chainsaw. Before starting up the
chainsaw make sure that it is not touching
anything. When you are working with a
chainsaw, a single moment of carelessness is all
it takes for clothing or parts of your body to get
caught by the chainsaw.
• Always hold the chainsaw securely with
your right hand on the rear handle and
your left hand on the front handle. Holding
the chainsaw with your hands in other positions
increases the risk of injury and is therefore not
allowed.
•Wear safety goggles and ear protection.
• Other safety equipment for the head,
hands, legs and feet is recommended.
Correct protective clothing reduces the risk of
injury caused by catapulted chips or in the event
of accidental contact with the chainsaw.
• Never use the chainsaw up a tree. You risk
injuring yourself if you use the chainsaw up a
tree.
• Always maintain a steady standing position
and only use the chainsaw when you are
standing on a solid, safe and flat surface.
Slippery or unsafe surfaces in combination with
a ladder can cause you to lose your balance and
control over the chainsaw.
• When cutting through a branch which is
under tension, take into account how it will
spring back once the cut has been made.
Once the tension in the wood fibers is released,
the tensioned branch could hit the operator
and/or seize control of the chainsaw.
• Take special care when cutting
undergrowth and young trees. The thin
material can become caught in the saw chain
and whip back towards you or make you lose
your balance.
• Carry the chainsaw by the front handle
with the chainsaw switched off and the
chain facing away from the body. Always
fit the protective cover when transporting
the chainsaw or putting it into storage.
Careful handling of the chainsaw reduces the
likelihood of accidental contact with the saw
chain while it is running.
• Follow the instructions for lubrication,
chain tension and replacement of
accessories. A chain which is not properly
tensioned or lubricated can either break or
increase the risk of kickback.
• Keep the handles dry, clean and free from
oil and grease. Greasy or oily handles are
slippery and will result in loss of control.
• Only use the chainsaw to cut wood. The
chain must only be used to perform the work
for which it is intended. For example: Never use
the chainsaw to cut plastic or metal.
• Causes of and ways to avoid recoil. Recoil
can occur if the tip of the chain bar touches an
item or if the wood bends and jams the saw
chain in the cut. In many cases contact with
the bar tip can result in an unexpected reaction
aimed backwards in which the chain bar is
catapulted upwards towards the operator.
Jamming the saw chain on the top of the chain
bar can catapult the bar towards the operator
at high speed. Any of these reactions can result
in you losing control over the saw and possibly

suffering serious injuries.You should therefore
not rely totally on the safety equipment fitted
to the chainsaw. When using a chainsaw you
should take various precautions to enable you
to work without suffering accidents or injuries.
Recoil is the result of incorrect or wrong use of
the electric tool. It can be prevented by suitable
precautions, as described below:
• Hold the saw firmly with both hands, with
fingers and thumbs gripped around the
handles. Steady yourself with your body and
arms in a position in which you can control the
kickback forces. Provided appropriate measures
are taken, an operator should be capable of
controlling the kickback forces. Never let go of
the chain saw.
• Avoid abnormal working postures. Never cut
above shoulder height. This prevents accidental
contact with the tip of the rail and offers
better control over the chainsaw in unexpected
situations.
•Always use the correct replacement
rails and saw chains recommended by
the manufacturer. The use of incorrect
replacement rails or saw chains may result in
breakage of the chain and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
sharpening and maintaining the saw chain.
The risk of kickback is increased if the depth
limiter is set too low.
More important information:
•Use an earth-leakage circuit breaker with a trip
current of 30 mA or less.
•We recommend that first-time users should at
least practice cutting roundwood (logs) on a
sawing trestle or similar.
Residual risks
Even if you use this cordless power tool in
accordance to instructions, certain residual risks
cannot be eliminated. The following hazards
may arise in connection with the equipment’s
construction and layout:
•Cut injuries if no safety clothing is used.
•Lung damage if no suitable protective dust
mask is applied.
•Brickwork or building materials which are not
made of wood. Use of the chainsaw for non-
intended or non-approved work can create
dangerous situations.
CAREFUL HANDLING AND USE OF CORDLESS
EQUIPMENT
• Ensure that the equipment is switched off
before you insert the battery.
• Inserting a battery into an electric tool that is
switched on can cause accidents.
•
Only charge the batteries in chargers that are
recommended by the manufacturer. A charger
that is designed for a certain type of batteries
may pose a fire risk if it is used with other types
of batteries.
•
Use only the correct batteries in the electric
tools. The use of other batteries may result in
injuries and a fire risk.
•
Keep unused batteries away from paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws and other metallic
objects that could cause a short circuit between
the contacts. A short circuit between the battery
contacts may cause burns or a fire.
•
In case of incorrect use, fluid may escape from
the battery. Avoid contact with it. If you touch it
by mistake, rinse the affected area with water. If
you get the fluid in your eyes, also seek medical
advice. Leaking battery fluid can cause skin
irritation or burns.
Additional safety instructions
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of
every battery pack to ensure that we supply you with
batteries which feature maximum power density,
durability and safety. The battery cells have a wide
range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially
formatted and its electrical characteristic curves are
recorded. These data are then used exclusively to be
able to assemble the best possible battery packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution must
always be exercised when handling batteries.
The following points must be obeyed at all
times to ensure safe use. Safe use can only
be guaranteed if undamaged cells are used.
Incorrect handling can cause cell damage.
Important: Analyses confirm that incorrect use and
poor care are the main causes of the damage caused
by high performance batteries.
Information about the battery
1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless
tool is not charged. The battery pack has to be
charged before you use the tool for the first
time.
2. For optimum battery performance avoid low
discharge cycles. Charge the battery pack
frequently.
3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at
15°C and charged to at least 40%.
4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural
ageing process. The battery pack must be
replaced at the latest when its capacity

AFTER SALES SUPPORT
1300 922 271 MODEL NUMBER: GL-CC 36 Li, 02/14

[email protected]
falls to just 80% of its capacity when new.
Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are
no longer capable of meeting the high power
requirements and therefore pose a safety risk.
5. Do not throw battery packs into an open fire.
There is a risk of explosion!
6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to
fire.
7. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries.
Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery
cells. The most common cause of exhaustive
discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of
partly discharged batteries. Stop working as
soon as the performance of the battery falls
noticeably or the electronic protection system
triggers. Place the battery pack in storage only
after it has been fully charged.
8. Protect batteries and the tool from
overloads. Overloads will quickly result in
overheating and cell damage inside the battery
housing without this overheating actually
being apparent externally.
9. Avoid damage and shocks. Replace batteries
which have been dropped from a height of
more than one meter or which have been
exposed to violent shocks without delay, even
if the housing of the battery pack appears to
be undamaged. The battery cells inside the
battery may have suffered serious damage. In
this respect, please also read the waste disposal
information.
10. If the battery pack suffers overloading and
overheating, the integrated protective cut-
off will switch off the equipment for safety
reasons.
Important. Do not press the ON/OFF switch
any more if the protective cut-off has actuated.
This may damage the battery pack.
11. Use only original battery packs. The use of
other batteries may result in injuries, explosion
and a fire risk.
Information on chargers and the charging
process
1. Please check the data marked on the rating
plate of the battery charger. Be sure to connect
the battery charger to a power supply with
the voltage marked on the rating plate. Never
connect it to a different mains voltage.
2. Protect the battery charger and its cable from
damage and sharp edges. Have damaged
cables repaired without delay by a qualified
electrician.
3. Keep the battery charger, batteries and the
cordless tool out of children’s reach.
4. Do not use damaged battery chargers.
5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to
charge other cordless tools.
6. In heavy use the battery pack will become
warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room
temperature before commencing with the
charging.
7. Do not over-charge batteries.
Do not exceed the maximum charging
times.These charging times only apply to
discharged batteries. Frequent insertion of a
charged or partly charged battery pack will
result in over-charging and cell damage. Do not
leave batteries in the charger for days on end.
8. Never use or charge batteries if you suspect that
the last time they were charged was more than
12 months previously. There is a high probability
that the battery pack has already suffered
dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge).
9. Charging batteries at a temperature below 10°C
will cause chemical damage to the cell and may
cause a fire.
10. Do not use batteries which have heated during
the charging process, as the battery cells may
have suffered dangerous damage.
11. Do not use batteries which have suffered
curvature or deformation during the charging
process or which show other non-typical
symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking, etc).
12. Never fully discharge the battery pack
(recommended depth of discharge max. 80%) A
complete discharge of the battery pack will lead
to premature ageing of the battery cells.
13. Never charge the batteries unsupervised.
Protection from environmental influences
1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety
goggles.
2. Protect your cordless tool and the battery
charger from moisture and rain. Moisture and
rain can cause dangerous cell damage.
3. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery
charger near vapors and inflammable liquids.
4. Use the battery charger and cordless tools only
in dry conditions and an ambient temperature
of 10-40°C.
5. Do not keep the battery charger in places where
the temperature is likely to reach over 40°C. In
particular, do not leave the battery charger in a
car that is parked in the sunshine.
6. Protect batteries from overheating. Overloads,
over-charging and exposure to direct sunlight
will result in overheating and cell damage.
