sons who do not or do not sufficiently know how to
handle the chain saw. The operating instructions should
always be ready to hand. Persons unfit or tired must not
operate the chain saw.
When working with the machine, always hold it firmly
u
with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The
power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
Always ensure all handles and guards are fitted when
u
using the machine. Never attempt to use an incomplete
machine or one fitted with an unauthorized modification.
Always wait until the machine has come to a complete
u
stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and
lead to loss of control over the power tool.
Always operate the power tool with a properly aligned
u
and tensioned chain. Using the power tool with a mis-
aligned or incorrectly tensioned chain can result in chain
breakage, kickback and/or injury.
Always make sure that the chain is in the correct position.

An incorrectly positioned chain can result in chain break-
age, kickback and/or injury.
Safety Instructions and Recommendations for
Optimal Handling of the Battery
Ensure the product is switched off before inserting
u
the battery. Inserting the battery into a product that has
the switch on can cause accidents.
Use only Bosch batteries intended specifically for this
u
product. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of
injury and fire.
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-
u
ing.
Protect the battery against heat (e.g.,
against continuous intense sunlight), fire,
water, and moisture. There is a risk of explo-
sion.
Keep the battery not being used away from paper
u
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.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery
u
pack, vapours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and
seek medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can
irritate the respiratory system.
Only use the battery with products from the manufac-
u
turer. This is the only way in which you can protect the
battery against dangerous overload.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such
u
as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.
An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
Do not short-circuit the battery. There is a risk of explo-
