GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power
tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
 Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
 Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of ammable liquids, petrol or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
 Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
 Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock
 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.
 Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
 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.
 When operating 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.
 If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a
Ground-fault circuit interrupter protected supply. Use of GFCI reduces the
risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY
 Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
 Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
 Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or
energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
 Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
 If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use
of dust devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
 Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
 Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
 Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.

56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW 9
 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.
 Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
 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.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
 Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufacturer. A charger
that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used
with another battery pack.
 Use power tools only with specically designated battery packs. Use of
any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and re.
 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 re.
 Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
SERVICE
 Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.

CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
 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. A moment of inattention while operating chain saws
may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the chain.
 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 reversed
hand conguration increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done.
 Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces 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.
 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 ying debris or accidental
contact with the saw chain.
 Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of a chain saw while up in a
tree may result in personal injury.
 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.
 When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When
the tension in the wood bers is released the spring loaded limb may strike the
operator and/or throw the chain saw 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 chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw switched off
and away from your body. When transporting 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.
 Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing
accessories. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.
