Safety information
Safety warnings
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 ammable
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
1. 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.
2. 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.
General power tool safety warnings

21. Remove branches in section.
22. Use the harness provided.
23. Do not wear multiple belt harnesses and/or shoulder
harnesses simultaneously.
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 product 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:
1. Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the product 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 product.
2. Do not overreach. This helps prevent unintended tip
contact and enables better control of the product 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
kickback.
4. Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.
Additional safety warnings for battery pack
1. Battery pack needs to be charged before use.
Always refer to the charger’s instruction and charge it
properly.
2. Remove the battery pack from the product when not
in use.
3. Don’t maintain the battery pack on the charger
when not in use.
4. After extended periods of storage, it may be
necessary to charge and discharge the battery pack
several times to obtain the maximum performance.
5. Longer life and better performance can be
obtained if the battery is charged when the air
temperature is between 18 °C and 24 °C. Do not
charge the battery in air temperature below 5 °C
or above 40 °C. This is important as it can prevent
serious damage to the battery.
6. Do not charge battery in a damp or wet location.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
7. Do not disassemble the battery and avoid
mechanical damage to the battery. Risk of short
circuit and fumes may be emitted. Ensure fresh air
