• Avoid all usage which you consider to be
beyond your capability.
• Never use the product if you are fatigued,
while under the influence of alcohol or
drugs, medication or anything that could
affect your vision, alertness, coordination
or judgment.
• The product can be thrown violently to the
side when the tip of the guide bar comes
in contact with a fixed object. This is
called kickback. A kickback can be violent
enough to cause the product/operator to
be propelled in any direction, and possibly
lose control of the product. Avoid cutting
with the guide bar tip.
• Do not use the product unless you are able
to call for help in case of an accident.
• Keep a good balance and a firm
foothold.Make sure that you can move
and stand safely. Check the area around
you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks,
branches, ditches, etcetera) in case you
have to move suddenly. Take great care
when you work on sloping ground.
• Always inspect the working area. Remove
all loose objects such as stones, broken
glass, nails, steel wire, string, etcetera, that
could be thrown out or become wrapped
around the cutting attachment.
• Take great care when cutting a tree that
is in tension. A tree that is in tension
may spring back to its normal position
before or after being cut. If you position
yourself incorrectly or make the cut in the
wrong place the tree may hit you or the
product and cause you to lose control.
Both situations can cause serious personal
injury.
• Use the harness to support the weight of
the product and make it easier to handle.
• Adjust the position of the guard ring for
your work. Always keep your hands behind
the guard ring.
• Always hold the product with both hands.
Hold the product on the right side of your
body.

activated unless you have it in clear sight.
• If the product is operated at temperatures
below -10°C the product and the battery
must be stored in a heated space for at
least 24 hours before starting work.
• Never stand directly underneath a branch
that is being cut. This could lead to serious
or even fatal personal injury.
• Observe the applicable safety regulations
for work in the vicinity of overhead power
lines.
• If the product touches or comes close to
high-voltage power line it could lead to
death or serious bodily injury. Electricity
can jump from one point to another by
arcing. The higher the voltage, the greater
the distance electricity can jump. Electricity
can also travel through branches and other
objects, especially if they are wet.
