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 desig‐
nated 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 connec‐
tion 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.
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 may cause explo‐
sion.
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 tempera‐
tures outside the specified range may dam‐
age the battery and increase the risk of fire.
26.7
Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace‐
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Serv‐
ice of battery packs should only be per‐
formed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers.

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. A

moment of inattention while operating chain
saws may cause entanglement of your cloth‐
ing or body with the saw chain.
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
with a reversed hand configuration increases
the risk of personal injury and should never
be done.
c) Hold the chain saw by insulated gripping sur‐
faces only, because the saw chain may con‐
tact hidden wiring or its own cord. Saw
chains contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the chain saw "live"
and could give the operator an electric
shock.
d) Wear eye protection. Further protective
equipment for hearing, head, hands, legs
and feet is recommended. Adequate protec‐
tive equipment will reduce personal injury
from flying debris or accidental contact with
the saw chain.
e) Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a
ladder, from a rooftop, or any unstable sup‐
port. Operation of a chain saw in this manner
could result in serious personal injury.
Always keep proper footing and operate the
f)
chain saw only when standing on a fixed,
secure and level surface. Slippery or unsta‐
ble surfaces may cause a loss of balance or
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.
Carry the chain saw by the front handle with
i)
the chain saw switched off and away from
your body. When transporting or storing the
chain saw, always fit the guide bar cover.
Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce
the likelihood of accidental contact with the
moving saw chain.
Follow the instructions for lubricating, chain
j)
tensioning and changing the bar and chain.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may
either break or increase the chance for kick‐
back.
