GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING
Read and understand all instructions before using this product. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re, and/or serious personal injury.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Donotoperatechainsawinexplosiveatmospheres,suchasinthepresenceofammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Chaisaws create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep all children, bystanders, visitors, and animals out of the work area while starting or
cutting with the chainsaw. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
• Do not expose the chainsaw to rain or wet locations. Water entering a chaisaw will increase
the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual
current
device protected supply. Use of an RCD reduce the risk of electric shock.
• A battery-operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be
rechargedonlywiththespeciedchargerforthebattery.A charger that may be suitable for
one type of battery may create a risk of re when used with another battery.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
chaisaw.
Donotuseachaisawwhileyouaretiredorundertheinuenceofdrugs,alcoholor
medication. A moment of inattention while operating chaisaws may result in serious personal
injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the chaisaw may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control
of the chainsaw in unexpected situation.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.

CHAINSAW USE AND CARE
• Do not force the chainsaw. Use the correct chainsaw for your application. The correct
chainsaw will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the chainsaw if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any chainsaw that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments changing
accessories, or storing chainsaws. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the chainsaw accidentally.
• Store idle chainsaws out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the chainsaw or these instructions to operate the chainsaw. Chainsaws are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain chainsaws. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the chainsaw’s operation. If damaged, have
the chainsaw repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained chainsaws.
• 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 chainsaw, 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
chainsaw for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
SERVICE
• Haveyourchainsawservicedbyaqualiedrepairpersonusingonlyidentical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the chainsaw is maintained.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
SPECIFIC 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 conguration increases the risk of
personal injury and should never be done.
• Hold the chaisaw by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Saw chains contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal
parts of the chaisaw “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Always use two hands when operating the chainsaw.
• Contact of the guide-bar tip with any object should be avoided.
• Tip contact may cause the guide bar to move suddenly upward and backward, which may
cause serious injury.
• Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head,
hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury
by ying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
• Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of a chain saw while up in a tree may result in
personal injury.
• Alwayskeepproperfootingandoperatethechainsawonlywhenstandingonxed,
secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders 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 bres is released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the chain
saw out of control.
• Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the
saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
• DO NOT ABUSE THE CHARGE CORD. Never carry the charger by the cord. Do not disconnect
the charger from the outlet or from the mower by pulling the charger cord.
• Do not use a damaged charger. Replace the charger cords or the charger immediately.
• Keep the mower and the charger away from water, heat sources (radiators, heaters,
stoves,etc.),ames,andchemicals.
• Make sure the battery pack is secured in the charger before beginning operation.
• The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch while charging. This is normal and
does not indicate a problem.
• Do not place the charger and battery pack in an area of extreme heat or cold. They will
work best at normal room temperature.
• When batteries become fully charged, unplug the charger from the power supply and
remove the battery pack.
WARNING
When transporting or servicing unit, always remove the battery.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
W A R N I N G (PROPOSITION 65)
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work inven a well-ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to lter out microscopic
particles.
WARNING
When using an cordless chainsaw, basic safety precaution should be always followed to reduce the
risk of re, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
CHILD SAFETY
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not aware of the presence of children.
• Keep children out of the working area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult.
• Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate this blower. Children who are 14
years of age and older must read and understand the operating instructions and safety
rules in this manual and must be trained and supervised by a parent.
• Stay alert, and turn the blower off if a child or any other person enters the working area.
• Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees, or other
objects that may obscure your view of a child who may run into the path of the blower.
• Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw switched off and away from
yourbody.Whentransportingorstoringthechainsawalwaysttheguidebarcover.
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 accessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery
causing loss of control.
• Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not intended. For example: do not use
chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the chain
saw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING
Kickback may occur when the moving chain contacts an object at the upper portion of
the tip of the guide bar or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the
cut. Contact at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar can cause the chain to dig
into the object and stop the chain for an instant. The result is a lightning fast reverse
reaction which kicks the guide bar up and back toward the operator. If the saw chain is
pinched along the top of the guide bar, the guide bar can be driven rapidly back toward the
operator. Either of these reactions can cause loss of saw control which can result in
serious injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into the saw. As
a chainsaw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from
accident or injury.

Danger Zone
CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF KICKBACK
1.Maintainarmgrip,withthumbsandngersencirclingthechainsaw
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.
2. 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.
3.Onlyusereplacementbarsandchainsspeciedbythemanufacturer.Incorrect
replacement bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
4. Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the
saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
LOW-KICKBACK SAW CHAIN
The rakers (depth gauges) ahead of each cutter can minimize the force of a kickback reaction
by preventing the cutters from digging in too deeply at the kickback zone. Only use replacement
chain that is equivalent to original chain or has been certied as low kickback chain per ANSI
B175.1. Low-kickback/skip tooth saw chain is a chain that has met the kickback performance
requirements of ANSI B175.1 - 1991. When tested on the representative sample of chainsaws
below 3.8 c.i.d. specied in ANSI B175.1 - 1991. As saw chains are sharpened during their
useful life, they lose some of the low-kickback qualities and extra caution should be used.
Push and pull - This reaction force is always opposite to the direction the chain is moving where
wood contact is made. Thus, the operator must be ready to control the PULL when cutting on the
bottom edge of the bar, and PUSH when cutting along the top edge. (See Figure 3)
