the device. Do not work barefoot. Do not wear any jew-
ellery, sandals or short trousers. ● Risk of injury when
loose fitting clothing, hair or jewellery is caught by mov-
ing parts of the device. Keep clothing and jewellery
away from moving parts of the device. Tie long hair
back. ● Hearing protection can impair your ability to
hear warning sounds, so pay attention to hazards in
your vicinity and in the work area. ● Only use accesso-
ries and spare parts which are approved by the manu-
facturer. Only original accessories and original spare
parts ensure that the appliance will run fault-free and
safely.
Additional safety instructions for chain saws
Note
● Kärcher recommends sawing tree trunks on a
sawhorse during first use. ● When using the chainsaw,
keep a first aid kit for large wounds and a means of call-
ing for help. A larger and more extensive first aid kit
should be nearby.
WARNING
● Ensure a firm footing, a clean
workplace and plan a retreat path from falling branches
before using the device. ● Beware of exhaust fumes, oil
vapour and sawdust. If necessary, wear a mask or
breathing apparatus. ● Always hold the chainsaw tightly
with both hands. Hold the handles with your thumb on
one side and your fingers on the other side. Hold the
rear handle with your right hand and the front handle
with your left hand. ● Risk of injury. Do not make any
modifications to the device. Do not use the device to
drive attachments or devices not recommended by the
manufacturer of the device. ● Before switching on the
device, make sure that the saw chain does not touch
any objects. ● Serious injuries or death if a wrongly ten-
sioned saw chain jumps out of the guide rail. Check the
chain tension before each use. The length of the chain
depends on the temperature. ● Ensure that all protec-
tive devices, handles and bucking spikes are correctly
fitted, securely fastened and in good condition. ● Seri-
ous injuries due to incorrect working methods:
● You need to be alert at all times and be in control of
your workplace when working with the chainsaw.
The size of the workspace depends on the task to be
performed and the size of the tree or work piece.
Felling a tree requires a larger workspace than e.g.
trimming.
● Never saw with your body in line with the guide rail
and chain. This reduce the danger of being hit by the
chain on the head or body during a kickback.
● Do not move the chainsaw back and forth but rather
let the chain do the work, keep the chain sharp and
do not try to push the chain through the cut.
● Do not apply pressure to the saw at the end of the
cut. Be prepared to relax the load on the saw when
it has cut through the wood.
● Do not stop the chainsaw while sawing. Let the saw
run until it has finished the saw cut.
● Familiarize yourself with your new chainsaw by mak-
ing simple cuts in safely supported wood. Repeat this
exercise if you have not used your chainsaw for a long
time. ● Do not saw vines and/or bushes with a diameter
of less than 75 mm. ● Switch the device off, lock the
chain brake, remove the battery pack and make sure
that all moving parts have stopped moving:
● Before cleaning the device or removing a blockage.
● When leaving the device unattended.
● Before mounting or removing attachments.

● Before checking, maintaining or working on the de-
vice.
CAUTION
People who use the chainsaw should be physically fit
and in good health. You should have good eyesight,
agility, balance and manual skills. In case of doubt, they
should not use the chainsaw. ● When working with the
device, always wear a safety helmet with a grille visor to
reduce the danger of injury from a kickback into the face
and head.
ATTENTION

a location between 0 °C and 40°C.
Additional Battery Safety Warnings
To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse the tool,
battery back, or charger in fluid or allow fluid to flow in-
side them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as sea-
water, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or
bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short cir-
cuit.
● Charge the battery pack in a location where the am-
bient temperature is between 10°C and 38°C.
● Store the battery pack in a location where the ambi-
ent temperature is between 0°C and 40°C.
● Use the battery pack in a location where the ambient
temperature is between 0°C and 40°C.
WARNING
● Certain residual risks remain present, even when the
device is operated in the prescribed manner. The fol-
lowing dangers can be present when using the de-
vice:
● Vibration can cause injuries. Use the correct tools
for the job, use the handles provided and restrict the
working time and hazard exposure time.
● Noise can cause hearing injuries. Wear hearing pro-
tection and limit the duration of exposure.
● Incision injuries on contact with exposed saw teeth
of the saw chain.
● Incision injuries due to unforeseen, abrupt move-
ments or kickback of the g bar scabbard.
● Incision injuries / risk of injection by parts flying away
from the saw chain.
● Injuries caused by hurled objects (wood shavings,
splinters).
● Inhalation of dust and particles.
● Skin contact with the lubricant / oil.
CAUTION
● Using the device for longer periods can cause poor
circulation in the hands due to vibrations. A general
period of use cannot be set, because this depends on
several influencing factors:
● Personal tendency to suffer from poor circulation
(frequently cold fingers, tingling sensation in the fin-
gers)
● Low ambient temperature. Wear warm gloves to
protect your hands.
● Holding the device too tightly hindering blood circu-
lation.
● Continuous operation is more harmful than opera-
tion interrupted by work breaks.
