General
power tool safety warnings
NOTE
► National regulations may restrict the use of
the appliance.
WARNING!
►Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire 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.
1. Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) 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 entan-
gled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) 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.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a) 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.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.

PAHE 20-Li D4
■ 6 │ GB│IE
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) 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.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
use of tools allow you to become complacent
and ignore tool safety principles. A careless
action can cause severe injury within a fraction
of a second.
4. Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detach-
able, 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 acci-
dentally.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g) 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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unex-
pected situations.
5. Battery tool use and care
a) 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.
b) Use power tools only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) 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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
d) 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.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C (265°F) may
cause explosion.

PAHE 20-Li D4 GB│IE │ 7 ■
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
CAUTION! RISK OF EXPLOSION!
Never charge non-rechargeable
batteries!
Protect the
rechargeable battery from heat, for example
from continuous exposure to sunlight, fire,
water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion.
6. Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers.

PAHE 20-Li D4
■ 8 │ GB│IE
■ Maintain power tools carefully. Check for mis-
alignment 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.
■ Therefore, have the appliance checked by quali-
fied specialists. Use only the replacement parts
recommended by the manufacturer.
Precautions against kickback
CAUTION! KICKBACK!
► Be aware of the danger of kickback when
working with the appliance. There is a risk
of personal injury.
You can avoid kickbacks by being careful
and using the correct sawing technique.
■ Contact with the tip of the rail can in some
cases lead to an unexpected backward reac-
tion resulting in the blade flying upwards
towards the operator (see Fig. 1).
Fig. 1
■ Kickbacks can occur if the tip of the blade
touches an object or if the wood bends and the
saw chain gets caught in the cut (see Fig. 2).
Fig. 2
■ If the saw chain jams in the upper edge of
the blade , the blade can kick back violently
towards the operator.
■ Any such reaction can lead to you losing
control over the saw and possibly injuring
yourself. Do not rely solely on the chainsaw's
built-in safety devices. As the user of a chainsaw,
you can take a number of measures to avoid
accidents and injury. A kickback is caused by
incorrect use or misuse of the power tool. It can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below:
■Hold the saw firmly with both hands, with
your thumb and finger around the handles of
the chainsaw. Hold your body and arms in a
position in which you can withstand kickback
forces. If suitable measures are taken, the
operator can control the recoil forces. Never
let go of the chainsaw.
■Avoid an abnormal posture. This will prevent
inadvertent contact with the tip of the rail and
allows a better control of the chainsaw in unex-
pected situations.
■Always use the replacement rails and saw
chains specified by the manufacturer. Incor-
rect replacement rails and saw chains can lead
to a tearing of the saw chain and/or kickback.
■Follow the manufacturer's instructions for
sharpening and maintenance of the saw
chain. Setting the depth stop too low can
increase the risk of kickback.
■Do not saw with the tip of the blade.
This can lead to kickback.
■Ensure that there are no objects on the
ground that you can trip over.

PAHE 20-Li D4 GB│IE │ 9 ■

■ Be extremely careful when sawing small bushes
and branches. The thin branches and twigs can
catch in the saw and fly in your direction or
knock you off balance.
■ Do not cut any wood that is lying on the ground
and do not attempt to saw roots that are
protruding from the soil. Avoid immersing the
saw chain in the soil at all costs, as this could
blunt the saw chain.
■ When sawing a branch under tension, be
aware of the possibility of the branch flying
back once the tension is suddenly removed.
There is a risk of personal injury.
■ Do not use force to free the appliance if the
cutting tools get caught or jammed in branches.
Switch the appliance off immediately and do
not switch it on until the blockage has been
removed. There is a risk of personal injury!
■ We recommend attending a course on the use
and maintenance of pole pruners and also a
first aid course. After prolonged periods of
non-use, and for practice, you should always
make simple cuts in securely supported wood
before starting in order to re-familiarise yourself
with the appliance.
