Selion M12.
2.2. GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR THE TOOL
Warning
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Note
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers to your battery-powered electric tool (without power cord).
2.2.1. WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in an explosive atmosphere, for example 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 the power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control of the tool.
2.2.2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. The power tool connector must be adapted to the socket. Never modify the connector in any way what-
soever. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and suitable
sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers, and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is in direct contact with the ground.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or damp conditions. The entry of water into a power tool increases the
risk of electric shock.
4. Do not mishandle the power cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
7

CHAINSAW SELION M12
51_149238-C
5. 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.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) pro-
tected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
2.2.3. PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the 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 when using a power tool can result in serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust masks,
non-slip safety shoes, helmets, or ear protection used at the appropriate times reduces injuries.
3. 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.
4. Remove any adjusting wrench before switching the electric tool on. A wrench left attached to a rotating
part can cause injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair and clothing away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can get caught in moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for connecting dust extraction and collection equipment, ensure that these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
2.2.4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Unplug the tool from the socket or remove the battery (if possible) before any adjustment, change of
accessory or storage. These preventive safety measures reduce the risk of accidentally starting the power
tool.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Keep the cutting elements sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting elements
are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
7. 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.
2.2.5. BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
1. 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.
2. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
3. 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.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, wash away with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek additional medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns.
8

CHAINSAW SELION M12
51_149238-C
2.2.6. SERVICE
1. 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.
2.2.7. TOOL’S END OF LIFE MANAGEMENT
1. When the tool reaches the end of its life, PELLENC keeps the end of life sheet of the equipment at
disposal. The end of life sheet provides instructions for safely removing components.
2.3. 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 coming into contact with a "live" wire can result in the electrification of the exposed metal
parts of the electric tool and cause electric shock to the operator.
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. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of a chain saw while up in a tree may result in personal injury.
6. 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.
7. When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
11. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of
control.
12. 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.
2.4. CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF KICKBACK
Kickback can occur if the front or end of the chain guide touches an object or if the cut in the wood closes and
traps the cutting 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.
9

CHAINSAW SELION M12
51_149238-C
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:
1. Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers en-
circling the chain saw handles, with both hands
on the saw and position your body and arm to al-
low you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces
can be controlled by the operator, if proper precau-
tions are taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.
2. Do not overreach and do not cut above shoul-
der height. This helps prevent unintended tip con-
tact and enables better control of the chain saw in
unexpected situations.
3. Only use replacement bars and chains specified
by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars
and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kick-
back.
4. Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and main-
tenance instructions for the saw chain. Decreas-
ing the depth gauge height can lead to increased
kickback.

rows of trees.
16

CHAINSAW SELION M12
51_149238-C
- 4.3.1.2. THE CARVING CHAIN GUIDE
The carving chain guide has a very narrow profile that allows for easier access to difficult areas, while incurring very
little kickback. It is used for more precise cuts such as:
• surgical trimming of the tree or vine (curettage of dis-
eased vines),
• selective trimming in dense vegetation on fruit trees
- 4.3.1.3. PRECISION CHAIN GUIDE
The precision chain guide, like the carving chain guide, has a very narrow profile and has the same advantages.
The reduced thickness of the precision guide ensures a cleaner cut and a reduction in energy consumption.
4.4. AUTOMATIC CHAIN TENSIONING (FIRST USE)
