• Keep the unused battery away from
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
and other small metal objects, which
could cause bridging of the contacts.
A short circuit between the battery con-
tacts may cause burns or fire.
• If used incorrectly, liquid may leak
from the battery. Avoid contact with
this. In the event of accidental con-
tact, rinse off with water. If the liquid
gets into eyes, seek medical assis-
tance. Leaking battery fluid may cause
skin irritations or burns.
Service:
Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
Causes and operator
prevention 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.

• Kickback may occur when the nose or
tip of the guide bar touches an object,
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
b
guide bar up and back towards the op-
erator (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 injury. 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 kickback 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 pre-
vent unintended tip contact and enables
better control of the chain saw in unex-
pected situations.
• Only use replacement bars and
chains specified by the manufacturer.
Incorrect replacement bars and chains
may cause chain breakage and/or kick-
back.
• Follow the manufacturer´s sharpen-
ing and maintenance instructions for
the saw chain. Decreasing the depth
gauge height can lead to increased kick-
back.
• Follow instructions for lubricating,
chain tensioning and changing acces-
sories. Improperly tensioned or lubri-
