Intended use
This chain saw is intended for sawing wood.
Noise
The typicalA-weighted noise level determined accord-
ingtoEN60745:
Sound pressure level (LpA):87.7dB(A)
Sound power level (LWA):100.4dB(A)
Uncertainty(K):2dB(A)
WARNING: Wear ear protection.
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-
minedaccordingtoEN60745:
Workmode:cuttingwood
Vibration emission (ah,W):5.3m/s2
Uncertainty(K):1.5m/s2
NOTE: The declared vibration emission value has 
been measured in accordance with the standard test 
method and may be used for comparing one tool with 
another.
NOTE: 
The declared vibration emission value may 
also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING: The vibration emission during actual 
use of the power tool can differ from the declared 
emission value depending on the ways in which the 
tool is used.
WARNING: Be sure to identify safety measures 
to protect the operator that are based on an estima-
tion of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking 
account of all parts of the operating cycle such as 
the times when the tool is switched off and when it is 
running idle in addition to the trigger time).

SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specications provided 
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions 
listedbelowmayresultinelectricshock,reand/or
seriousinjury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your 
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated 
(cordless) power tool.
Cordless Chain saw safety warnings
1. 
Keep all parts of the body away from the saw 
chain when the chain saw is operating. Before 
you start the chain saw, make sure the saw chain 
is not contacting anything.Amoment of inatten-
tion while operating chain saws may cause entan-
glement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
2. Always hold the chain saw with your right 
hand on the rear handle and your left hand on 
the front handle. Holding the chain saw with a 
reversedhandcongurationincreasestheriskof
personalinjuryandshouldneverbedone.
3. 
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces only, because the saw chain may contact 
hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire 
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool 
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
4. Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. 
Further protective equipment for head, hands, 
legs and feet is recommended.Adequate protec-
tiveclothingwillreducepersonalinjurybyying
debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
5. 
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of a 
chainsawwhileupinatreemayresultinpersonalinjury.
6. 
Always keep proper footing and operate the chain 
saw only when standing on xed, secure and level 
surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders 
may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain saw.
7. 
When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert 
for spring back.Whenthetensioninthewoodbres
is released the spring loaded limb may strike the 
operator and/or throw the chain saw out of control.
8. 
Use extreme caution when cutting brush and sap-
lings. The slender material may catch the saw chain 
and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
9. 
Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain 
saw switched off and away from your body. When trans-
porting or storing the chain saw always t the guide 
bar cover. Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the 
likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
10. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain ten-
sioning and changing accessories. Improperly 
tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or 
increase the chance for kickback.
11. 
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. 
Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
12. 
Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes 
not intended.Forexample:donotusechainsawfor
cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materi-
als. Use of the chain saw for operations different than 
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
13. Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide 
bartouchesanobject,orwhenthewoodclosesinand
pinches the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact in some 
cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the 
guide bar up and back towards the operator. Pinching 
the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push

of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the
