GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING
Read and understand all instructions before using this product. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shockfireand/or serious personal injury.
Work Area Safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• 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 power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing 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 power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelers 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 dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power Tool Use And Care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
5
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
• Use the power tool, 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 power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Battery Tool Use And Care
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper 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.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
• Have your power tools serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that safety of the power tool is maintained.
Pruner Safety Warnings
• Interrupt your work when you feel tired or exhausted. Make regular breaks to regenerate. A moment of inattention while operating the product may result in serious personal injury.
• Keep all parts of the body away from the chain. Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut when chain is moving. Make sure the switch is off when clearing jammed material. A moment of inattention while operating the product may result in serious personal injury.
• Hold the product by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the chain may contact hidden wiring. Chains contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the product “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Keep all parts of the body away from the chain when the product is operating. Before you start the product, make sure the chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating products may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the chain.
6
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
• Always hold the product with both hands on the handles. Holding the product with only one hand or on parts not intended for that increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done.
• 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 flying debris or accidental contact with the chain.
• Do not operate a product in a tree. Operation of a product while up in a tree may result in personal injury.
• Always keep proper footing and operate the product only when standing on fixed, secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the product.
• 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 product out of control.
• Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
• Carry the product by the soft grip with the product switched off and away from your body. When transporting or storing the product always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the product will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving 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 product for purposes not intended. For example: do not use product for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the product for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Pay attention to national and local regulations. National and local regulations may restrict the use of this product.
• Only use replacement guide bars and chains specified by the manufacturer or equivalent replacements. Using non-approved cutting attachments can result in personal injuries and damage to property.
• Before using the product and after any impact or dropping, check for signs of wear or damage and repair as necessary.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
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 chain in the cut. Tip contact in s ome cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator. Pinching the 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 product 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 product 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 product.
Do not overreach. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better control of the product in unexpected situations.
Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
Vibration And Noise Reduction
To reduce the impact of noise and vibration emission, limit the time of operation, use low-vibration and low-noise operating modes as well as wear personal protective equipment. Take the following points into account to minimise the vibration and noise exposure risks:
Only use the product as intended by its design and these instructions.
Ensure that the product is in good condition and well maintained.
• Use correct cutting attachments for the product and ensure they in good condition.
Keep tight grip on the handles/grip surface.
Maintain this product in accordance with these instructions and keep it well lubricated (where appropriate).
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a longer period of time.
