IMPORTANT SAfETy INSTRUCTIONS
POwER TOOL USE anD CaRE
• Do not force the Power tool. Use the correct chainsaw for your application. The correct
chainsaw will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the chainsaw if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any chainsaw that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle chainsaws out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the chainsaw or these instructions to operate the chainsaw. Chainsaws are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain chainsaws. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the chainsaw's operation. If damaged,
have the chainsaw repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
chainsaws.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the chainsaw, 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
chainsaw for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
BaTTERY USE anD CaRE
• Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the
battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• 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.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• 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.
• 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.
SERViCE
• Have your chainsaw serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the chainsaw is maintained.
