Always wear suitable safety equipment such as non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, goggles, ear protection and gloves
when operating the tool.
Ensure someone is nearby (but at a safe distance) in case
of an accident.
Do not attempt to operate the tool when in a tree, on
a ladder or standing on any other unstable support.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Hold the tool fi rmly with both hands when the motor is
running.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
Do not let the moving chain contact any object at the tip of
the guide bar.
Keep your saw chain properly tensioned. Check tension
at regular intervals with the motor stopped and cord
disconnected.
Begin and continue cutting only with the chain moving at
full speed.
Watch for shifting branches or other forces that could
close a cut and pinch or fall into the chain.
Use extreme caution when re-entering a previous cut.
Engage spikes on lower jaw into wood and allow the chain
to reach full speed before proceeding with cut.
Use of this tool for operation different to those intended
could result in hazardous situations. Cut wood only. Don't
use this tool for purposes not intended - for example -
Don't use tool for cutting plastic, masonry or non wood
building materials.
If any debris gets caught with the guard or tool discontinue
use, remove the battery and clear debris.
Worn chains and chain guide bars should be replaced.

manufacturer.
Residual risks
Additional residual risks may arise when using the tool which
may not be included in the enclosed safety warnings. These
risks can arise from misuse, prolonged use etc.
Even with the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual
risks can not be avoided. These include:
Injuries caused by touching any rotating/moving parts.
Injuries caused when changing any parts, blades or
accessories.
Injuries caused by prolonged use of a tool. When using
any tool for prolonged periods ensure you take regular
breaks.
Impairment of hearing.
Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
using your tool (example:- working with wood, especially
oak, beech and MDF.)
Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated in the technical
data and the declaration of conformity have been measured
in accordance with a standard test method provided by
EN 60745 and may be used for comparing one tool with
another. The declared vibration emission value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning! The vibration emission value during actual use of
the power tool can differ from the declared value depending
on the ways in which the tool is used. The vibration level may
increase above the level stated.
When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety
measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons regularly
using power tools in employment, an estimation of vibration
exposure should consider, the actual conditions of use and the
way the tool is used, including taking account of all parts of the
operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off
and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time.
Labels on tool
The following pictograms are shown on the tool along with the
date code:
Warning! To reduce the risk of injury, the
user must read the instruction manual.

expose it to rain.
Always wear eye protection.
Always wear ear protection.
Beware of falling objects
Keep bystanders away
Do not use ladders
To ensure continued safe operation, check
