is switched on may result in accidents.
• Recharge the batteries indoors only
because the battery charger is de-
signed for indoor use only. Risk of
electric shock.
• To reduce the electric shock hazard,
unplug the battery charger from the
mains before cleaning the charger.
• Do not subject the battery to strong
sunlight over long periods and do
not leave it on a heater. Heat dam-
ages the battery and there is a risk of
explosion.
• Allow a hot battery to cool before
charging.
• Do not open up the battery and
avoid mechanical damage to the
battery. Risk of short circuit and
fumes may be emitted that irritate
the respiratory tract. Ensure fresh
air and seek medical assistance in the
event of discomfort.
• Do not use non-rechargeable bat-
teries. This could damage the appli-
ance.
Causes and operator preven-
tion of kickback
Beware of kickback! Be careful of
kickback of the machine during
work. There is danger of injury
here. You can avoid kickbacks by
exercising caution and using a cor-
rect sawing technique

or tip of the guide bar touches an ob-
ject, or when the wood closes in and
pinches the saw chain in the cut
(cf. fig. b).
• Tip contact in some cases may cause
a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the
guide bar up and back towards the
operator (cf. fig. a).
• Pinching the saw chain along the top
of the guide bar may push the guide
bar rapidly back towards the operator.
• Either of these reactions may cause
you to lose control of the saw which
could result in serious personal in-
jury. Do not rely exclusively upon the
safety devices built into your saw. As
a chain saw user, you should take
several steps to keep your cutting jobs
free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/
or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below:
• Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs
and fingers encircling the chain
saw handles, with both hands on
the saw and position your body
and arm to allow you to resist kick-
back forces. Kickback forces can be
controlled by the operator, if proper
precautions are taken. Do not let go of
the chain saw.
• Do not overreach and do not cut
above shoulder height. This helps
prevent unintended tip contact and
enables better control of the chain
saw in unexpected situations.
• Only use replacement bars and
chains specified by the manufac-
turer. Incorrect replacement bars and
chains may cause chain breakage
and/or kickback.
