-Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily grips are slippery and lead to loss
of control.
- Only saw wood. Do not use the pole saw for work for which it is not intended. Example: Do not use
the pole saw for sawing plastic, masonry, or building materials that are not made of wood. Using the
pole saw for work not following the regulations can lead to dangerous situations.
- Operate the device only in the condition prescribed and delivered by
the manufacturer. Unauthorized modifications to the device exclude the manufacturer's liability for
any resulting damage.
- Spare parts must meet the requirements specified by the manufacturer. Therefore only use original
spare parts or spare parts approved by the manufacturer. When replacing, please follow the
installation instructions supplied and remove the cordless high hedge trimmer first.
- Have repairs carried out exclusively by a qualified specialist or a specialist workshop.
Causes and prevention of a kickback
Kickback may occur if the tip of the saw-bar touches an object
or when the wood bends and the saw-chain jams in the cut. In some cases, contact with the bar tip
may cause an unexpected backward reaction, in which the saw-bar is knocked upwards and in the
direction of the operator.
Jamming the saw-chain at the upper edge of the saw-bar can quickly push the bar back in the
direction of the operator. Any of these reactions can cause you to lose control of the saw and
possibly injure yourself seriously. Do not rely solely on the safety devices built into the chain saw. As
a user of a chain saw,
you should take various measures to be able to work without
accidents, and injuries.
A kickback is the result of incorrect or faulty use of the power tool. It can be prevented by
appropriate precautions as described below:
- Hold the pole saw with both hands, with thumb and fingers around the handles of the pole saw. Put
your body and arms in a position where you can withstand the recoil forces. If suitable measures are
taken, the operator can control the recoil forces. Never release the pole saw.
- Avoid an abnormal posture. This prevents unintentional contact with the bar tip and provides
better control of the chainsaw in unexpected
situations.
- Always use replacement bars and saw chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement
bars and saw chains can cause the chain to break and/or kickback.
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the sharpening and
maintenance of the saw-chain. Too low depth limiters increase the tendency to recoil.

- Spare parts must meet the requirements specified by the manufacturer.
Therefore only use original spare parts or spare parts approved by the manufacturer. When replacing
the battery, please follow the installation instructions provided and remove the battery
first.
- Have repairs carried out exclusively by a qualified specialist or a specialist workshop.
Safety instructions for the charger
- Keep the charger away from rain or moisture. The penetration of water into a charger increases the
risk of electric shock.
- Keep the charger clean. There is a risk of electric shock from soiling.
- Check the charger, cable, and plug before each use. Do not use the charger if you notice any
damage. Do not open the charger yourself and have it repaired only by qualified personnel and only
with original spare parts.
Damaged chargers, cables, and connectors increase the risk of electric shock.
- Do not place objects on the charger or place them on soft surfaces. There is a risk of fire.

- Vapors may escape if the battery is damaged or misused. Supply fresh air and consult a doctor if
you have any complaints. The vapors may irritate the respiratory tract.
- The liquid may leak from the battery if misused. Avoid any contact with it. In case of accidental
contact, rinse with water. If the liquid gets into your eyes, seek additional medical attention. Leaking
battery fluid may cause skin
irritation or burns.
- Only use original rechargeable batteries with the voltage specified on the rating plate of
your power tool. When using other batteries, e.g., imitation, reconditioned batteries, or batteries
from different manufacturers, there is a risk of injury and material damage due to exploding
batteries.
- The battery voltage must match the battery charging voltage of the charger. Otherwise, there is a
risk of fire and explosion.
- Charge the batteries only with chargers recommended by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for a particular type of battery poses a fire hazard when used with other batteries.
- The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by an external
force. An internal short circuit may occur, and the battery may burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
