suffering serious injuries.You should therefore
not rely totally on the safety equipment fitted
to the chainsaw. When using a chainsaw you
should take various precautions to enable you
to work without suffering accidents or injuries.
Recoil is the result of incorrect or wrong use of
the electric tool. It can be prevented by suitable
precautions, as described below:
• Hold the saw firmly with both hands, with
fingers and thumbs gripped around the
handles. Steady yourself with your body and
arms in a position in which you can control the
kickback forces. Provided appropriate measures
are taken, an operator should be capable of
controlling the kickback forces. Never let go of
the chain saw.
• Avoid abnormal working postures. Never cut
above shoulder height. This prevents accidental
contact with the tip of the rail and offers
better control over the chainsaw in unexpected
situations.
• Always use the correct replacement
rails and saw chains recommended by
the manufacturer. The use of incorrect
replacement rails or saw chains may result in
breakage of the chain and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions for
sharpening and maintaining the saw chain.
The risk of kickback is increased if the depth
limiter is set too low.
More important information:
• Use an earth-leakage circuit breaker with a trip
current of 30 mA or less.
• We recommend that first-time users should at
least practice cutting roundwood (logs) on a
sawing trestle or similar.
Residual risks
Even if you use this cordless power tool in
accordance to instructions, certain residual risks
cannot be eliminated. The following hazards
may arise in connection with the equipment's
construction and layout:
• Cut injuries if no safety clothing is used.
• Lung damage if no suitable protective dust
mask is applied.
• Brickwork or building materials which are not
made of wood. Use of the chainsaw for non-
intended or non-approved work can create
dangerous situations.

• Ensure that the equipment is switched off
before you insert the battery.
• Inserting a battery into an electric tool that is
switched on can cause accidents.
• Only charge the batteries in chargers that are
recommended by the manufacturer. A charger
that is designed for a certain type of batteries
may pose a fire risk if it is used with other types
of batteries.
• Use only the correct batteries in the electric
tools. The use of other batteries may result in
injuries and a fire risk.
• Keep unused batteries away from paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws and other metallic
objects that could cause a short circuit between
the contacts. A short circuit between the battery
contacts may cause burns or a fire.
• In case of incorrect use, fluid may escape from
the battery. Avoid contact with it. If you touch it
by mistake, rinse the affected area with water. If
you get the fluid in your eyes, also seek medical
advice. Leaking battery fluid can cause skin
irritation or burns.
Additional safety instructions
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of
every battery pack to ensure that we supply you with
batteries which feature maximum power density,
durability and safety. The battery cells have a wide
range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially
formatted and its electrical characteristic curves are
recorded. These data are then used exclusively to be
able to assemble the best possible battery packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution must
always be exercised when handling batteries.
The following points must be obeyed at all
times to ensure safe use. Safe use can only
be guaranteed if undamaged cells are used.
Incorrect handling can cause cell damage.
Important: Analyses confirm that incorrect use and
poor care are the main causes of the damage caused
by high performance batteries.
