• Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the BATTERY pack, if
detachable, from the product before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
products. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the product accidentally.
• Store idle products out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
product or these instructions to operate the
product. Products are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
• Maintain products and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the product's operation. If
damaged, have the product repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
products.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the product, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the product for
operations different from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles
and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) BATTERY tool use and care
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of BATTERY pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another BATTERY pack.
• Use products only with specifically designated
BATTERY packs. Use of any other BATTERY
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• When BATTERY pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the BATTERY terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the BATTERY; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the BATTERY may cause
irritation or burns.
• Do not use a BATTERY pack or product that
is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, EXPLOSION or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a BATTERY pack or product to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire
English
or temperature above 130 °C (265 °F) may cause
explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the BATTERY pack or product
outside the temperature range specified in
the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the BATTERY and increase the risk of fire.
6) Service
• Have your product serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the product is
maintained.
• Never service damaged BATTERY packs. Service
of BATTERY packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHAIN
SAWS
General chain saw safety warnings
• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw
chain when the chain saw is operating. Before
you start the chain saw, make sure the saw
chain is not contacting anything. A moment of
inattention while operating chain saws may cause
entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw
chain.
• Always hold the chain saw with your right hand
on the rear handle and your left hand on the
front handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed
hand configuration increases the risk of personal
injury and should never be done.
• Hold the chain saw by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
chain saw "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
• Wear eye protection. Further protective
equipment for hearing, head, hands, legs
and feet is recommended. Adequate protective
equipment will reduce personal injury from flying
debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
• Do not operate a chain saw, on a ladder, from a
rooftop, or any unstable support. Operation of a
chain saw in this manner could result in serious
personal injury.
• Always keep proper footing and operate the
chain saw only when standing on fixed, secure
and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces
may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain
saw.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be
alert for spring back. When the tension in the
wood fibres is released, the spring loaded limb may
strike the operator and/or throw the chain saw out of
control.
