Work area safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
4. 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.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
5. 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.
6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. If operating a power tools in a damp location is unavoidable, use a
residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
10. 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 influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
11. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
6

Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
12. 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 finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
13. 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.
14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
15. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
16. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
17. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for our
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
18. 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.
19. 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.
20. 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.
7

21. 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.
22. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
23. 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
24. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger
that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
25. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of
any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
26. 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 fire.
27. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid
contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
28. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

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. A moment of inattention
while operating chain saws may cause entanglement 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 reversed
hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury and should never be
done.
3. 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.
4. 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 flying debris or accidental
contact with the saw chain.
5. Before starting work, check that the chain saw is in proper working
order and that its condition complies with the safety regulations. Check
in particular that:
• The run-down brake is working properly;
• The chain brake is working properly;
• The bar and the sprocket cover are fitted correctly;
• The chain has been sharpened and tensioned in accordance with the
egulations;
6. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of a chain saw while up in a
tree may result in personal injury.
7. Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when
standing on fixed, secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces
such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain saw.
8. When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When
9

the tension in the wood fibres is released the spring loaded limb may strike
the operator and/or throw the chain saw out of control.
9. 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.
10. 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 fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce
the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
11. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing
accessories. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.
12. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily
handles are slippery causing loss of control.
13. Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not intended. For
example: do not use chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry or
non-wood building materials. Use of the chain saw for operations different
than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
14. Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip 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 reaction, 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 reactions 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 cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
−Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw
handles, with both hands on the saw and position your body and arm to
10

allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the
operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.
−Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. This helps prevent
unintended tip contact and enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected
situations.
−Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer.
Incorrect replacement bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or
kickback.
−Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for
the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased
kickback.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
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
instruction manual may cause serious personal injury.
