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 adap-
ter plugs with earthed (groun-
ded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with ear-
thed or grounded surfaces, such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increa-
sed risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to
rain or wet conditions. Water en-
tering 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 entangled cords in-
crease 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 elec-
tric 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 equi-
pment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro-
tection used for appropriate con-
ditions will reduce personal inju-
ries.
c) Prevent unintentional star-
ting. 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 ener-
gising 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 pro-
per footing and balance at all ti-
mes. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f)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.
g) If devices are provided for the

7
English
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 se-
cond.
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 the battery
pack from the power tool be-
fore making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive sa-
fety measures reduce the risk of
starting the powertool accidenta-
lly.
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. 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 acci-
dents are caused by poorly main-
tained power tools.
f)Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cut-
ting tools with sharp cutting ed-
ges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, acces-
sories and tool bits etc. in accor-
dance 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 con-
trol of the tool in unexpected si-
tuations
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the char-
ger specified by the manufac-
turer. 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 designated 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 me-
tal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small

8
English
metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery ter-
minals together may cause burns
or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, li-
quid may be ejected from the
battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Li-
quid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
6) Service
a) 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
Chain saw safety warnings (IEC
60745-2-13:2006+A1:2009)
• 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.
• Always hold the chain saw with
your right hand on the rear hand-
le and your left hand on the front
handle. Holding the chain saw
with a reversed hand configura-
tion increases the risk of personal
injury and should never be done.
• Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces only, because
the saw chain may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Saw cha-
ins contacting a “live” wire may
make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and could give
the operator an electric shock.
• Wear safety glasses and hea-
ring protection. Further protec-
tive 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.
• Do not operate a chain saw in
a tree. Operation of a chain saw
while up in a tree may result in
personal injury.
• Always keep proper footing and
operate the chain saw only when
standing on fixed, secure and le-
vel surface. Slippery or unstable
surfaces such as ladders may
cause a loss of balance or control
of the chain saw.
• When cutting a limb that is un-
der tension be alert for spring
back. When the tension in the
wood fibres is released the spring
loaded limb may strike the ope-
rator and/or throw the chain saw
out of control.
• Use extreme caution when cut-
ting brush and saplings. The slen-
der material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you
or pull you off balance.
• Carry the chain saw by the
front handle with the chain saw
switched off and away from your
body. When transporting or sto-
ring 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.
• Follow instructions for lubrica-
ting, chain tensioning and chan-

9
ging accessories. Improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may
either break or increase the chan-
ce for kickback.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and
free from oil and grease. Greasy,
oily handles are slippery causing
loss of control.
• 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 opera-
tions different than intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
• Do not attempt to fell a tree un-
til you have an understanding of
the risks and how to avoid them.
Serious injury could occur to the
operator or bystanders while fe-
lling a tree.
• This chain saw is not intended
for tree felling. Use of the chain
saw for operations different than
intended could result in serious
injury to the operator or bystan-
ders.
Causes and operator prevention
of kickback:
Kickback may occur when the
nose or tip of the guide bar tou-
ches 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 ex-
clusively upon the safety devices
built into your saw. As a chain
saw user, you should take seve-
ral steps to keep your cutting jobs
free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool mi-
suse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper pre-
cautions 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 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 situa-
tions.
• Only use replacement bars and
chains specified by the manu-
facturer. Incorrect replacement
bars and chains may cause chain
breakage and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer’s shar-
pening and maintenance instruc-
tions for the saw chain. Decrea-
sing the depth gauge height can
lead to increased kickback.
Additional safety warnings for
operation (
• Always remove the battery pack

for their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
• Children and juveniles, with the
exception of apprentices older
than 16 years and under super-
vision, may not operate the chain
saw. The same applies for persons
who do not or do not sufficiently
know how to handle the chain saw.
• The operating instructions
should always be ready to hand.
Persons unfit or tired must not
operate the chain saw.
• Wait until the chain has come to
a standstill completely before pla-
cing it down.
