English
power tool for operations different from those
intended may result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grip surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grip surfaces doe not allow proper operation
and control of the electric power tool in unfore‐
seen situations.
25.6 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 designa‐
ted 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
objects that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi‐
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejec‐
ted 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 irri‐
tation or burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam‐
aged or modified. Damaged or modified bat‐
teries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C (265 °F) may
cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc‐
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
25.7 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
b) Never service damaged batteries. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.

25 General Power Tool Safety Warnings
25.8 Chain Saw Safety Warnings
General safety warnings for chain saws
a) Keep all parts of your body away from the saw
chain when the chain saw is operating. Before
you start the chain saw, make sure the saw
chain does not touch anything. Your clothing
or parts of your body may get caught in the
saw chain in consequence of a moment of
inattention while operating a chain saw.
b) Always hold the chain saw with your right
hand on the rear handle and your left hand on
the front handle. Holding the chain saw the
other way round increases the risk of injury
and is not permitted.
c) Always hold the chain saw by the insulated
handles because the saw chain may touch
hidden electric wires. Any saw chain contact
with a live wire may energize metallic parts of
the power tool and result in an electric shock.
d) Wear eye protection. Further protective equip‐
ment for hearing, head, hands, legs and feet is
recommended. Suitable protective clothing
helps reduce the risk of injury from flying wood
chips and accidental contact with the saw
chain.
e) Never work with a chain saw while standing in
a tree, on a ladder, on a roof or other instable
surface. There is a risk of injury in such situa‐
tions.
f) Always keep proper footing and operate the
chain saw only when standing on a fixed,
secure and level surface. A slippery surface or
instable support could cause the operator to
lose control of the chain saw.
g) When cutting a limb that is under tension be
alert for spring back. When the tension in the
wood fibers is released, the spring loaded limb
may strike the operator and/or throw the chain
saw out of control.
h) 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.
i) Carry the chain saw by the front handle with
the chain saw switched off and the saw chain
away from your body. When transporting or
storing the chain saw, always fit the protective
cover. Proper handling of the chain saw will
reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with
the moving saw chain.
j) Follow the instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing the guide bar and
