II. General safety instrucons
Work area safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operang a power tool. Distracons can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operang a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
6. If operang a power tool in a damp locaon is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
7. Power tools can produce electromagnec elds (EMF) that are not harmful to the user. However, users of pacemakers and other similar medical devices
should contact the maker of their device and/or doctor for advice before operang this power tool.
Personal Safety
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operang a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are red or under the inuence
of drugs, alcohol or medicaon. A moment of inaenon while operang power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protecve equipment. Always wear eye protecon. Protecve equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protecon used for appropriate condions will reduce personal injuries.
3. Prevent unintenonal starng. Ensure the switch is in the o-posion before connecng to power source and/or baery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
4.Remove any adjusng key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key le aached to a rotang part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper foong and balance at all mes. This enables beer control of the power tool in unexpected situaons.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the connecon of dust extracon and collecon facilies, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collecon
can reduce dust-related hazards.
8. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless acon can cause severe
injury within a fracon of a second.
9. Always wear protecve goggles to protect your eyes from injury when using power tools.
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce the use of appropriate safety protecve equipments by the tool operators and by other persons in the immediate
working area.
WARNING ! READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instrucons listed below, may result in electric shock, re and /or serious personal injury.

Power tool use and care
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your applicaon. The correct power tool will do the job beer and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and o. 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 baery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such prevenve safety measures reduce the risk of starng 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 instrucons 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, break- age of parts and any other condion that may aect the
power tool’s operaon. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Keep cung tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cung tools with sharp cung 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 instrucons, taking into account the working condions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operaons dierent from those intended could result in a hazardous situaon.
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 situaons.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work gloves which may be entangled. The entanglement of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may result in
personal injury.
Baery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of baery pack may create a risk of re when used with
another baery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specically designated baery packs. Use of any other baery packs may create a risk of injury and re.
3. When baery 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 connecon from one terminal to another. Shorng the baery terminals together may cause burns or a re.
4. Under abusive condions, liquid may be ejected from the baery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
addionally seek medical help. Liquid baery may cause irritaon or burns.
5. Do not use a baery pack or tool that is damaged or modied. Damaged or modied baeries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulng in re, explosion
or risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a baery pack or tool to re or excessive temperature. Exposure to re or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instrucons and do not charge the baery pack or tool outside the temperature range specied in the instrucons. Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside the specied range may damage the baery and increase the risk of re.
Service
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only idencal replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
2. Never service damaged baery packs. Service of baery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
3. Follow instrucons for lubricang and changing accessories.

III. Cordless compact chain saw safety warnings
1. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chain saw is operang. Before you start the chain saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacng
anything. A moment of inaenon while operang chain saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
2. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
3. Always hold the chain saw with your right hand on the main handle and your le hand on the grip surface. Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand
conguraon increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done.
4. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacng a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
5. Wear safety glasses and hearing protecon. Further protecve equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protecve clothing will
reduce personal injury by ying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
6. Use clamps or another praccal way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable plaorm. Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves
it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
7. Make sure you have rm foong when operang the power tool, especially when using it standing on steps or ladders. Slippery or unstable surfaces can
cause you to lose your balance or lose control over the power tool.
8. Only bring the power tool into contact with the workpiece when switched on. Otherwise there is danger of kickback if the cung tool jams in the workpiece.
9. Ensure that the footplate always rests securely while sawing. A jammed saw chain can break or lead to kickback.
10. When the cut is completed, switch o the power tool and then pull the tool out of the cut only aer it has come to a standsll. In this manner you can avoid
kickback and can place down the power tool securely.
11. Use only undamaged saw chain that are in perfect condion. Bent or dull saw chain can break, negavely inuence the cut, or lead to kickback.
12.Do not brake the saw chain to a stop by applying side pressure aer switching o. The saw chain can be damaged, break or cause kickback.
13. Use suitable detectors to determine if there are hidden supply lines or contact the local ulity company for assistance. Contact with electric cables can cause
re and electric shock. Damaging gas lines can lead to explosion. Breaking water pipes causes property damage.
14. The chain of the chain saw can tear if subjected to excessive strain. You should replace the power tool and/or saw chain if this happens.
15. Causes and operator prevenon of kickback: Kickback may occur when the nose or p of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in
and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reacon, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator. Either of these reacons may cause you to
lose control of the saw which could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user, you
should take several steps to keep your cung jobs free from accident or injury. Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operang procedures or
condions and can be avoided by taking proper precauons as given below:
• Maintain a rm grip, with thumbs and ngers encircling the chain saw handles, with both hands on the saw
and posion your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the
operator, if proper precauons are taken. Do not let go of the chainsaw.
• Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. This helps prevent unintended p contact and enables
beer control of the chain saw in unexpected situaons.
• Only use replacement bars and chains specied by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains
may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instrucons for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth
gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
16. Before starng work, check that the chain saw is in proper working order and that its condion complies with the safety regulaons. Check in parcular that:
• The run-down brake is working properly;
• The bar and the sprocket cover are ed correctly;
• The chain has been sharpened and tensioned in accordance with the regulaons.

17. Do not start the chain saw with the chain cover being installed on it. Starng the chain saw with the chain cover being installed on it may cause the chain
cover to thrown out forward resulng in personal injury and damage to objects around the operator.
18. Avoid dangerous environment. Don't use the tool in damp or wet locaons or expose it to rain. Water entering the tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
19. Do not dispose of the baery(ies) in a re. The cell may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instrucons.
20. Do not open or mulate the baery(ies). Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
21. Do not charge baery in rain, or in wet locaons.
WARNING:DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE
or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instrucon manual may cause serious personal injury.

Always switch o the tool before
installing or removing of the baery cartridge.
Hold the tool and the baery cartridge rmly when installing or removing
baery cartridge. Failure to hold the tool and the baery cartridge rmly may cause
them to slip o your hands and result in damage to the tool and baery cartridge and
a personal injury.
To remove the baery cartridge, slide it from the tool while sliding the
buon on the front of the cartridge. To install the baery cartridge, align
the tongue on the baery cartridge with the groove in the housing and
slip it into place. Insert it all the way unl it locks in place with a lile click.
(Fig.1)
Always install the battery cartridge fully. If not, it may
accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone
around you.
Do not install the baery cartridge forcibly.
If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted correctly.
The tool is equipped with a tool/baery protecon system. This system automacally cuts o power to the motor to extend tool and baery life. The tool will
automacally stop during operaon if the tool or baery is placed under one of the following condions:
Overload protecon : When the baery is operated in a manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the tool automacally stops without any
indicaon. In this situaon, turn the tool o and stop the applicaon that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then turn the tool on to restart.
Overheat protecon: When the tool or baery is overheated, the tool stops automacally. In this situaon, let the tool/baery cool before turning the tool
on again.
Over-discharge protecon: When the baery capacity becomes low, the tool stops automacally. If the product does not operate even when the switches
are operated, remove the baeries from the tool and charge the baeries.
Press the check buon on the baery cartridge to indicate the remaining
