INTRODUCTION
By using PELLENC battery and motor technology, you benet from several advantages:
- energy savings
- ease and comfort of use
- free from motor maintenance
- power equivalent to and often higher than combustion engines
- extremely protable tools
- lightweight
- no noise pollution or odors
- virtually inexistent carbon emissions
- Immediate start-up, no need for a starter.
PELLENC OFFERS TECHNOLOGY WHICH MAKES THE HEAT ENGINE OBSOLETE
OUR high output MOTORS
As well as Lithium-Ion technology, PELLENC masters the use of another: revolutionary PELLENC
electronic commutation motors.
With these revolutionary motors, PELLENC has effectively rendered the heat engine obsolete. PELLENC
intends to impose its idea of the tool for tomorrow: powerful, light and pollution-free tools.
Furthermore, the PELLENC technology motor is the only electric motor with as much power output with
the added advantage of being small, giving it an ideal weight. The output of this motor is signicantly
higher than that of traditional direct-current motors with brushes. Friction caused by the brushes
disappears, the output of PELLENC motors is nearly 90 %.
PELLENC motors are Brushless motors. This means that their service life is theoretically innite, with
only the service life of the ball bearings limiting the motor’s service life. There is no need for motor
maintenance, as opposed to heat engines.
PELLENC Brushless motors stop completely each time the trigger is pressed, on the contrary to
heat engines. Therefore, sound emissions are very low to the benet of the user and his immediate
surroundings!
Finally, PELLENC Brushless motors often drive the cutting element directly (no clutch or reduction
gearbox, meaning less noise and wear). Motor control is electronic, as is the power supply, meaning that
noises linked to mechanical part movements are extremely limited.

Lithium-Ion technology combined with the electric PELLENC motor means that the SELION emits very
little CO2 into the atmosphere, giving it the image of a clean tool.
When comparing the direct CO2 emissions of the SELION and a heat-engine powered chainsaw, a huge
difference can be seen. A heat-engine powered chainsaw has direct CO2 emissions of over 4.9 tons per year,
while the SELION only emits 40 kg.
Using the SELION means reducing direct emissions by approximately 99% compared to a heat-engine;
that’s 121 times less!
If you recharge PELLENC batteries using our SOLERION solar charger,
direct CO2 emissions are reduced to ZERO

By using PELLENC tools:
- you considerably reduce greenhouse gas emissions,
- you strongly participate in protecting the environment.
Data: On average, 1 kWh EDF has a carbon equivalent to 90 g of CO2 per kWh in France, covering production and remaining life
(ADEME-France).
1 liter of SP95 unleaded fuel corresponds to a direct carbon emission equivalent of 2,542g CO2/l and a production + direct carbon
emission of 5,518g CO2/l.
Based on: 6 hours of work per day and 200 days of work annually.
BILAN CARBONE
“Every type of human activity creates greenhouse gas emissions, whether directly or indirectly. Therefore,
every company, administration or association may quite rightly take an interest in the emissions they
generate. To enable them to act, they have to establish an analysis to nd their room for maneuver. The
Bilan Carbone® method is a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions assessment tool. It uses easily available
data to correctly evaluate your activity in terms of direct or indirectly generated emissions.” (Source:
ADEME-France)
In order to act responsibly, PELLENC has launched an environmentally friendly range of tools with
minimum CO2 emissions, which can be as low as zero thanks to the SOLERION solar charger.
Thanks to the development of its own Lithium-Ion clean technology, PELLENC proposes ultra-high capacity
batteries with a record level of autonomy and power to rival heat motors. In addition, the PELLENC
motor makes the tool exceptionally protable as it consumes very little energy and is unbeatably
lightweight.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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
ammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks, which can ignite dust or fumes.
3– Keep children and bystanders away while operating the tool. Distractions could cause you to lose
control of the tool.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1– Do not expose tools to rain or damp conditions. Water penetrating inside a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
2– Do not misuse 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.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1– Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the tool. Do not
use a power tool when you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating a power tool may result in serious personal injury.
2– Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust masks, non-slip
safety shoes, helmets, or ear protection used at the appropriate times will reduce personal injuries.
3– Avoid accidental starting of the tool. Make sure the switch is in the off position before
connecting the tool to the power source and/or battery pack, picking it up, or carrying it. Carrying
the tools with your nger on the switch or connecting tools with the switch in the ‘on’ position can cause
accidents.
4– Remove any adjusting wrench before switching the tool on. A wrench left attached to a rotating part
can cause injury.
5– Do not rush. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This provides better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
6– Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can get caught in moving parts.
TOOL USAGE AND MAINTENANCE
1– Do not force the tool. Use the tool suited for the job. The adapted tool will do a better and safer job,
in accordance with the purpose for which it was designed.
2– Do not use the tool if the switch does not allow it to be switched on and off. Any tool the cannot be
controlled by the switch is hazardous and must be repaired.
3– Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or battery pack prior to any adjustment, change
of accessories or before putting the tool away. These preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
4– When not in use, keep tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Tools are dangerous for inexperienced users.
5– Comply with the tool servicing instructions. Check that the moving parts are not out of alignment
or jammed, that there are no broken parts or that there is no other condition which could affect the
operation of the tool. If damaged, have the tool repaired before using it. Many accidents are due to
poorly maintained tools.

12
MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP
1– Have the tool serviced by an authorised PELLENC distributor, using only identical spare parts.
This will guarantee that the tool safety is maintained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CHAINSAW
1– Keep the cutting chain away from all parts of your body when the chainsaw is operating. Before
starting the chainsaw, make sure that the cutting chain is not in contact with anything. A momentary
distraction while using the chainsaws can result in your clothes or a body part getting caught in the cutting
chain.
2– Always hold the rear handle of the chainsaw with your right hand and the front handle with your
left hand. Holding the chainsaw the other way round increases the risk of bodily injury and should never be
attempted.
3– Hold the tool only by its insulated gripping surfaces as the chainsaw can come into contact with
the hidden wiring or the tool’s own power cord. Saw-chains coming into contact with a "live" wire can
result in the electrication of the exposed metal parts of the electric tool and cause electric shock to the
operator.
4– Wear safety goggles and auditory protection. Additional protective equipment for your head,
hands, legs and ears is recommended. Appropriate protective clothing will reduce the risk of bodily injury
caused by ying debris or accidental contact with the cutting chain.
5– Always remain steady on your feet and only use the chainsaw while on a stationary, secure, and
level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders can cause a loss of balance or control of the
chainsaw.
6– When cutting a bent branch, beware of it springing back. When the tension of the wood bres is
released, the branch can spring back and hit the operator and/or result in a loss of control of the chainsaw.
7– Be extremely careful when cutting scrub and young shrubs. Fine materials can catch in the cutting
chain and be projected in your direction like a whip, or make you lose your balance because of the traction
effect.
8– Hold the chainsaw by the front handle, switch the power off and keep it away from your
body. When transporting or storing the chainsaw, always t the protective cover over the chain.
Appropriate handling of the chainsaw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the mobile cutting
chain.
9– Follow the instructions concerning accessories for lubrication, tension, and chain replacement.
A chain with incorrect tension and lubrication can break or increase the risk of kickback.
10– Keep the handles, dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery and
cause a loss of control.
11– Only cut wood. Do not use the chainsaw for any purpose other than for which it is intended. do
not use the chainsaw to cut plastic materials, masonry or constructions other than wood. Using the
chainsaw for operations other than those for which it is intended can cause hazardous situations.
6– Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting parts are less
likely to jam and are easier to control.
7– Use the tool, accessories and blades, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be done. Using the tool for operations other than those
provided for could result in hazardous situations.

Increased safety thanks to three revolutionary PELLENC technologies!
The rst safety mechanism is the PELLENC electronic safety sensor: this mechanism instantly engages a
brake electrical system in case of a fall or rebound (kickback phenomenon), and is 8 times more sensitive
than the chain brake on a petrol chainsaw.
The second safety feature is provided by the tool’s auto-diagnostic system: on rst use, the Selion M12
veries that the electronic kickback sensor is operational, if this is the case, the machine will be able to
function!
The third safety feature is the use of OREGON chains with low kickback: the kickback phenomenon, if it
occurs, will be much less violent than that of a conventional chainsaw.
That makes the SELION M12 an overall safer tool than conventional chainsaws.
CAUSES OF KICKBACK AND HOW THE USER CAN PREVENT IT
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.
In some cases, contact with the end of the chain guide
can suddenly cause the chain guide to kick upwards and
backwards towards the user.
If the cutting chain is trapped on the upper part of the
chain guide, the chain guide can abruptly push back
towards the user.
Either of these reactions can cause a loss of control
of the saw, likely to lead to serious injury. Do not rely
exclusively on the safety features built into your saw. The
user of the chainsaw must take all necessary measures
to prevent risks of accident or injury when cutting.
Kickbacks result from incorrect use of the tool and/or
incorrect operating conditions or procedures, and can be avoided by taking the appropriate precautions
specied below:
• Hold the saw rmly in both hands with thumbs and ngers around the handles of the saw, and
position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled
by the operator if proper precaution taken. Do not let go of the chainsaw.
• Do not reach your arms out too far and do not cut above shoulder height. This helps prevent
unwanted contact with the end and facilitates control of the chainsaw in unforeseen situations.
• There are different models of chains according to the work to be done. Only use genuine
PELLENC chains and guides. Incorrect chain guides and replacement chains can cause the chain to
break and/or kickbacks.
• Follow the instructions for sharpening and servicing the chainsaw. Reduction in the depth gauge
level can lead to increased kickbacks.
