guards and handles are properly and securely attached.
Replace any damaged parts before use.
■
Do not modify the product in any way or use parts
and accessories which are not recommended by the

inspect for damage or identify the cause of the vibration.
Any damage should be properly repaired or replaced by
an authorised service centre.
ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product
damage due to short circuit, never immerse your tool,
battery pack, or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow
inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as
seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or
bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short
circuit.
OVER-TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
The battery pack has an over-temperature protection,
which is designed to protect the battery cells from damage
in the event of high temperatures. This feature may cause
the battery to stop powering the product until the battery
cells cool down. Feel the battery pack; if it is warm to
touch, allow it to cool down before resuming operation. If
the product still does not work, connect the battery pack
to the charger, which can also indicate over-temperature
protection. When the battery cells cool down, the charger
begins to charge the battery.
NOTE: High ambient temperatures above 30° C and high
power tools, such as chainsaw, can cause the battery cells
to heat up faster. Monitor the battery pack regularly, and if
it is warm to touch, change the battery or allow the battery
to cool down.
NOTE: The battery pack LED indicator stops working if the
battery protection feature has caused the battery pack to
stop powering the product.
CHAINSAW SAFETY WARNINGS
■
Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain
when the chainsaw is operating. Before you start
the chainsaw, make sure the saw chain is not
contacting anything. A moment of inattention while
operating chainsaws may cause entanglement of your
clothing or body with the saw chain.
■
Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand
on the rear handle and your left hand on the front
handle.
Holding the chainsaw with a reversed hand
configuration increases the risk of personal injury and
should never be done.
■
Hold the chainsaw by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the saw chain may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Saw chains contacting a “live”
wire may make exposed metal parts of the chainsaw
“live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
■
Wear eye protection. Further protective equipment
for hearing, head, hands, legs and feet is
recommended. Adequate protective equipment will
reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental
contact with the saw chain.
■
Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree, on a ladder,
from a rooftop, or any unstable support. Operation
of a chainsaw in this manner could result in serious
personal injury.
■
Always keep proper footing and operate the
chainsaw only when standing on fixed, secure and
level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause
a loss of balance or control of the chainsaw.
■
When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert
for spring back.
When the tension in the wood fibres is
released, the spring loaded limb may strike the operator
and/or throw the chainsaw out of control.
■
Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings.
The slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
■
Carry the chainsaw by the front handle with the
chainsaw switched off and away from your body.
When transporting or storing the chainsaw, always
fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the
chainsaw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact
with the moving saw chain.
■
Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning
and changing the bar and chain.
Improperly tensioned
or lubricated chain may either break or increase the
chance for kickback.
■
Cut wood only. Do not use chainsaw for purposes
not intended. For example: do not use chainsaw
for cutting metal, plastic, masonry or non-wood
building materials. Use of the chainsaw for operations
different than intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
■
Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have an
understanding of the risks and how to avoid them.
Serious injury could occur to the operator or bystanders
while felling a tree.
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
