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 tools 
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.

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 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 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.

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.

6. Service 
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair 

person using only identical replacement parts.

 This will 

make sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. 

Additional power tool safety warnings

The intended use is described in this instruction manual. Do 
not use the tool for purposes not intended; for example do 
not use the tool to fell trees. The use of any accessory or 
attachment or performance of any operation with this tool 
other than those recommended in this instruction manual 
may present a risk of personal injury.

Wear close fitting and protective clothing including a 
safety helmet with visor/goggles, ear protectors, non-
skid safety footwear, protective bib trousers and strong 
leather gloves.

Always position yourself out of the path of falling 
branches.

The safe distance between a branch to be felled and 
bystanders, buildings and other objects is at least 2 1/2 
times the length of the branch. Any bystander, building 
or object within this distance is at risk from being struck 
by the falling branch.

Pre-plan a safe exit from falling branches. Ensure the 
exit route is clear of obstacles that would prevent or 
hinder movement. Remember wet grass and freshly cut 
bark is slippery.

Ensure someone is nearby (but at a safe distance) in 
case of an accident.

Do not use the tool while standing in a tree, on a ladder 
or on any other unstable surface.

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

Hold the tool firmly with both hands when the motor is 
running.

Do not let the moving chain contact any object at the tip 
of the guide bar.

Start cutting only with the chain moving at full speed.

Do not attempt to enter a previous cut. Always make a 
fresh cut.

Watch for shifting branches or other forces that could 
close a cut and pinch or fall into the chain.

Do not attempt to cut a branch when the diameter of the 
branch exceeds the cutting length of the tool.

Always remove the battery from the tool and place the 
chain cover assembly over the chain when storing or 
transporting the tool.

Keep the saw chain sharp and properly tensioned. 
Check the tension at regular intervals.

Switch the tool off, allow the chain to stop and remove 
the battery from the tool before carrying out any 
adjustment, servicing or maintenance.

Only use genuine replacement parts and accessories.

Warning! 

Additional safety warnings for compact 

chainsaws.
