temperature above 130 °C / 265 °F may cause
explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool 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.
Service
• Have your machine serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the machine is
maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
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 top 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.
• 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.
• Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the
chain saw switched off and away from your body.
When transporting or storing the chain saw, always
fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chain
saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact
with the moving saw chain.
• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning
and changing the bar and chain. Improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may either brake or
increase the chance for kickback.
• Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes
not intended. For example: do not use chain saw for
6
cutting metal, plastic, masonry or non-wood building
materials. Use of the chain saw for operations
different than intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
• This chain saw is not intended for tree felling. Use of
the chain saw for operations different than intended
could result in serious injury to the operator or
bystanders.
• Follow all instructions when clearing jammed
material, storing or servicing the chain saw. Make
sure the switch is off and the battery pack is
removed. Unexpected actuation of the chain saw
while clearing jammed material or servicing may
result in serious personal injury.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback
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. Tip contact in some
cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the
guide bar up and back towards the operator. 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 chain saw 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 prevent unintended tip contact
and enables better control of the chain saw in
unexpected situations.
• Only use replacement guide bars and saw chains
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement
guide bars and saw chains may cause chain
breakage and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.
