cleaning it, switch the device off and remove
the power pack or remove the operating arm,
in which the permanently installed battery is
located.
¾ Ensure that the tool is fully assembled
according to the instructions.
¾ Check the tool for fault-free operation,
especially that the cutting bar is correctly
seated and the chain correctly tensioned.
¾ Read and observe the operating manual of the
charger and operating arm in which the power
pack is permanently installed.
Tips for use
¾ Never leave the tool unattended during breaks
and store it in a secure location.
¾ Be aware of hidden objects when working.
¾ Always hold the tool firmly with both hands.
¾ Also when working maintain a safe distance
relative to the cutting tool.
¾ If you have long hair, wear a hairnet.
¾ Take extra care if you are walking backwards.
Risk of tripping!
¾ Switch the motor off when carrying the device
to or from separate working positions.
¾ Never bypass or tamper with safety devices
installed on the device (e.g. by taping the
switch to the handle).
¾ Always be aware of your environment and
possible hazards which you may not be able
to hear because of the noise of the device.
¾ No other persons or animals may remain
within a circumference of 15 metres around
the cutting area because they may be injured
by ejected objects.
¾ Do not work in poor lighting or weather conditions.
¾ Only use the tool for the work for which it is
intended.
¾ Keep the tool handles dry, clean and free from
oil and/or grease.
¾ Do not carry out cutting work in bushes, as
this may result in small twigs being caught
in the chain and then thrown out in an
uncontrolled manner.
¾ Ensure that you can stand safely and securely
in every work position.
¾ Before starting the tool, ensure that the chain
is not touching anything.
¾ Do not use ladders, as these can result in loss
of balance or loss of control of the tool.

¾ Never work while stood on or in trees.
¾ Do not saw any wooden parts that are under
strain.
¾ Never work alone. Ensure that you within
earshot or sight of, or have some other form
of connection with another person, who is
able to provide first aid in an emergency.
¾ If you are setting the tool down, always
ensure that the motor is turned off.
¾ Every time you move to a different location,
turn the motor off and fit the protective cover.
¾ Never use the tool in a wet or moist
environment.
¾ Only use chains and bars approved by the
manufacturer.

Information about vibrations:
¾ Vibrations can cause nerve damage and impair
the blood circulation in the hands and arms.
¾ When working in the cold, wear warm clothing
and keep your hands warm and dry.
¾ Take breaks.
¾ If you notice that the skin of your fingers
or hands goes numb, tingles, hurts or goes
white, stop working with the machine and, if
necessary, consult a doctor.
¾ The specified vibration emission values:
• Were measured according to a standardised
testing procedure.
• Make it possible to estimate the power tool
emissions and compare these with different
power tools. Dependent on the conditions of
use, the state of the power tool or the tools
inserted into it for use, the actual load may be
higher or lower. When estimating the emis-
sions, take into account work breaks and
phases when the tool is under reduced load.
Define protective actions, e.g. organisational
measures, based on appropriately adapted
estimates.
After use
¾ Switch the device off, remove the operating arm
from the device and check the device for damage.
Attention, danger! Cutting tool still running!
¾ If you need to clean or service the device,
switch it off and remove the operating arm.
Attention, danger! Cutting tool still running!
¾ Always wait until the cutting tool comes to
a standstill and do not touch any moving
dangerous parts without first removing the
operating arm from the device.
