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).

cell may explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.
7.
Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies). Released
electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to
the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
Starting up the tool
1. Make sure that there are no children or other
people within a working range of 15 meters
(50 ft), also pay attention to any animals in the
working vicinity. Otherwise stop using the tool.
2.
Before use always check that the tool is safe for
operation. Check the security of the cutting tool
and the guard and the switch trigger/lever for
easy and proper action. Check for clean and dry
handles and test the on/off function of the switch.
3. Check damaged parts before further use of the tool.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check
for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other
condition that may affect its operation. A guard
or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by our authorized service
center unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.
4. Switch on the motor only when hands and feet
are away from the cutting tool.
5. Before starting make sure that the cutting
tool has no contact with hard objects such as
branches, stones etc. as the cutting tool will
revolve when starting.
Method of operation
1. Never operate the machine with damaged
guards or without the guards in place.
2. Only use the tool in good light and visibility.
During the winter season beware of slippery
or wet areas, ice and snow (risk of slipping).
Always ensure a safe footing.
3. Take care against injury to feet and hands from
the cutting tool.
4. Keep hands and feet away from the cutting
means at all times and especially when switch-
ing on the motor.
5. Never cut above waist height.
6. Never stand on a ladder and run the tool.
7. Never work on unstable surfaces.
8. Don't overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
9. Always be sure of your footing on slopes.
10. Walk, never run.
11. Remove sand, stones, nails etc. found within
the working range. Foreign particles may
damage the cutting tool and can cause to be
thrown away, resulting in a serious injury.
12. Never touch moving hazardous parts before
the machine is disconnected from the mains
and the moving hazardous parts have come to
a complete stop.
13. Should the cutting tool hit stones or other hard
objects, immediately switch off the motor and
inspect the cutting tool.
14. Before commencing cutting, the cutting tool
must have reached full working speed.
15. During operation always hold the tool with
both hands. Never hold the tool with one hand
during use. Always ensure a safe footing.
16.
All protective equipment such as guards supplied
with the tool must be used during operation.
17. Except in case of emergency, never drop
or cast the tool to the ground or this may
severely damage the tool.
18. Never drag the tool on the ground when mov-
ing from place to place, the tool may become
damaged if moved in this manner.
19. Always remove the battery cartridge from the
tool:
— whenever leaving the tool unattended;
— before clearing a blockage;
— before checking, cleaning or working on
the tool;
— before making any adjustments, chang-
ing accessories or storing;
— whenever the tool starts vibrating
unusually;
— whenever transporting the tool.

20. Don't force the tool. It will do the job better and
with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the
rate for which it was designed.
21. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-

liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
22. Take a rest to prevent loss of control caused
by fatigue. We recommend to take a 10 to
20-minute rest every hour.
Maintenance instructions
1. The condition of the cutting tool, protective
devices and shoulder strap must be checked
before commencing work.
2. Turn off the motor and remove the battery
cartridge before carrying out maintenance,
replacing the cutting tool and cleaning the
tool.
3. After use, disconnect the battery cartridge
from the tool and check for damage.
4. Check for loose fasteners and damaged parts
such as nearly halfway cut-off state in the
cutting tool.
5. When not in use store the equipment in a dry
location that is locked up or out of children's
reach.
6. Use only the manufacturer's recommended
replacement parts and accessories.
7. Always ensure that ventilation openings are
kept clear of debris.
8. Inspect and maintain the tool regularly, espe-
cially before/after use. Have the tool repaired
only by our authorized service center.
9. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: DO NOT let comfort or famil-
iarity 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 instruction manual may cause serious
personal injury.
Important safety instructions for
battery cartridge
1. Before using battery cartridge, read all instruc-
tions and cautionary markings on (1) battery
charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using
battery.
2. Do not disassemble battery cartridge.
3. If operating time has become excessively
shorter, stop operating immediately. It may
result in a risk of overheating, possible burns
and even an explosion.
4. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them
out with clear water and seek medical atten-
tion right away. It may result in loss of your

aging and labeling must be observed.
For preparation of the item being shipped, consult-
ing an expert for hazardous material is required.
Please also observe possibly more detailed
national regulations.
Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the
battery in such a manner that it cannot move
around in the packaging.
11. Follow your local regulations relating to dis-
posal of battery.

Tips for maintaining maximum
battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged. Always stop tool operation and
charge the battery cartridge when you notice
less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery car-
tridge. Overcharging shortens the battery
service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room tem-
perature at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let
a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.
4. Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use
it for a long period (more than six months).
