8.
Avoid using the saw to cut thin branches and roots,
as these can become entangled in the chain saw.
Loss of balance presents a hazard.
9.
Use a secure support (trestle) when cutting sawn
timber.
10. Do not use the chain saw to prise off or brush away
pieces of wood and other objects.
11. Guide the chain saw such that no part of your body
is within the extended path of the saw chain (see fig-
ure).
Kickback
1.
Hazardous kickback may arise during work with the
chain saw. Kickback arises when the tip of the bar
(in particular the upper quarter) comes into contact
with wood or another solid object. This causes the
chainsaw to be deflected in the direction of the oper-
ator.
2.
In order to avoid kickback, observe the following:
• Never begin the cut with the tip of the bar.
• Never use the tip of the bar for cutting. Take partic-
ular care when resuming cuts which have already
been started.
• Start the cut with the chain running.
• Always sharpen the chain correctly. In particular,
set the depth gauge to the correct height (refer to
“Sharpening the chain” for details).
• Never saw through several branches at a time.
• When limbing, take care to prevent the bar from
coming into contact with other branches.
• When bucking, keep clear of adjacent trunks.
Always observe the bar tip.
• Use a trestle.
Transport and storage
1.
Carry the chain saw by the front handle only, with
the bar pointing backwards.
2.
Keep the chain saw in a secure, dry and locked
room out of the reach of children. Do not store the
chain saw outdoors.

WARNING:
MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in
this instruction manual may cause serious personal
injury.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CHARGER & BATTERY CARTRIDGE
ENC004-1
1.
Before using battery cartridge, read all instruc-
tions and cautionary markings on (1) battery
charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using bat-
tery.
2.
Do not disassemble battery cartridge.
3.
If operating time has become excessively
shorter, stop operating immediately. It may
result in a risk of overheating, possible burns
and even an explosion.
4.
If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them out
with clear water and seek medical attention right
away. It may result in loss of your eyesight.
5.
Do not short the battery cartridge:
(1) Do not touch the terminals with any conduc-
tive material.
(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a container
with other metal objects such as nails, coins,
etc.
(3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water or
rain.
A battery short can cause a large current flow,
overheating, possible burns and even a break-
down.
6.
Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 50°C (122°F).
7.
Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1.
Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the bat-
tery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
2.
Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3.
Charge the battery cartridge with room tempera-
ture at 10°C – 40°C (50°F – 104°F). Let a hot bat-
tery cartridge cool down before charging it.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery cartridge is removed before adjusting or checking
function on the tool.
Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)
• Always switch off the tool before installing or removal of
the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the
tool while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in
place with a little click. If you can see the red part on
the upper side of the button, it is not locked completely.
Insert it fully until the red part cannot be seen. If not, it
may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to
you or someone around you.
