WARNING!
◊ Before adjusting or cleaning the chain saw, make sure that it is
switched off first.
◊ When in use keep your hands well away from the moving parts.
◊ When switching the chain saw off, keep your hands well away from
the parts, as they will continue to turn for a short time after switching
off.
◊ Use the tool correctly and do not force it to perform jobs for which
it was not intended.
◊ Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury. The user is responsible for any accidents involving
other people or anyone's property.
◊ Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
◊ The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your battery operated
(cordless) chain saw.
WORK AREA
◊ Keep the work area clean and well lit, as cluttered and dark areas
can result in accidents.
◊ Power tools create sparks, which may ignite dust or fumes. For this
reason, do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
◊ While operating the power tool, keep children and bystanders away
as distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
◊ Make sure the power rating on the plug matches the outlet.
◊ Never modify the plug in any way.
◊ Do not use any adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
◊ To prevent the risk of electric shock, when operating the tool avoid
body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges, refrigerators and never operate the tool in the rain.
You must also never expose the tool to moisture.
◊ Never use the power cable for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool or charger.
◊ Damaged or entangled cables can increase the risk of electric shock,
for this reason; keep the power cable away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts.

PERSONAL SAFETY
◊ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
◊ The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being
thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before
beginning tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields and a full-face shield when needed. To
prevent the risk of injury, you must also wear non-slip safety shoes,
hardhat, earmuffs and dust mask when required.
◊ Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery when operating the tool, as
they could become caught in the moving parts. If you have long hair,
keep it tied back above shoulder height.
◊ To prevent unintentional starting of the tool, ensure the safety switch
is in the off-position before connecting it to the mains power supply,
or when picking up or carrying the tool. Never carry the power tool
with your finger on the power trigger.
◊ Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool
on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
◊ To maintain full control of the tool, keep a proper footing at all times
with your weight evenly balanced over both feet and never overreach.
◊ To maintain full control of the tool, keep the handle dry, clean and
free from oil and grease.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
◊ Do not force the power tool to do jobs for which it was not intended.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
◊ Do not use the power tool if the power switch is faulty. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
◊ To prevent the risk of accidentally starting the tool, make sure the
tool is disconnected from the mains power supply before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
◊ Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. When not
in use, store the tool out of the reach of children, and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the tool (or these instructions) to operate it.
◊ To prevent the risk of accidents, periodically check the tool for
misalignment, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the operation of the power tool. If
the tool is damaged in any way, take it to your local hardware store
for repair.
◊ Keep cutting tools clean and sharp. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
◊ Use the power tool and accessories in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions, and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for jobs for which it was
not intended could result in injury.
◊ To ensure that the power tool is safe, have it serviced at an
authorized service center using only original replacement parts.

serious personal injury.
◊ Carry the tool by the handle with the moving parts stopped.

the saw.
