▪ Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and saplings because slender material
may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
▪ When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back so that you will not be
struck when the tension in the wood fibers is released
▪ Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil.
▪ Operate the chain saw only in well-ventilated areas.
▪ DO NOT operate a chain saw in a tree unless you have been specifically trained to do so.
▪ All chain saw service, other than the items listed in the user manual safety and
maintenance instructions should be performed by competent chain saw service personnel.
▪ When transporting your chain saw, use the appropriate guide bar scabbard.
▪ DO NOT operate your chain saw near or around flammable liquids or gases whether in or
out of doors. An explosion and/or fire may result.
▪ USE THE RIGHT TOOL: Cut wood only. Do not use the chain saw for purposes for which
it was not intended. For example, do not use the chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry, or
non-building materials.
▪ The first time user should have practical instruction in the use of chainsaw and the
protective equipment from an experienced operator.
▪ Be aware of harmful dust, mist (such as saw dust or oil mist from chain lubrication) and
protect your self properly.
▪ Wear gloves and keep your hand warm. Prolonged use of chainsaws exposing the
operator to vibrations may produce white finger disease. In order to reduce the risk of
white finger disease, please wear gloves and keep your hand warm. If any of the white
finger symptoms appear, seek medical advice immediately.
▪ Only chain and guide bar can be replaced by the user himself. Always make sure you
replace with correct material as stated in the specifications of the manual.
7 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES AND
CHARGERS
Use only batteries and chargers applicable for this machine.
7.1 Batteries
▪ Never attempt to open for any reason.
▪ Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40 °C.
▪ Charge only at ambient temperatures between 4 °C and 40 °C.
▪ Store your batteries in a cool dry place (5 °C-20 °C). Never store batteries in discharged
state.
▪ It is better for Li-ion batteries to discharge and reload them regularly (at least 4 times a
year). The ideal charge for long-term storage of your Li-ion battery is 40% of capacity.
▪ When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section “Protecting the
environment”.
▪ Do not cause short circuits. If connection is made between the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminal directly or via accidental contact with metallic objects, the battery is short circuited
and an intense current will flow causing heat generation which may lead to casing rupture
or fire.
▪ Do not heat. If batteries are heated to above 100 °C, sealing and insulating separators
and other polymer components may be damaged resulting in electrolyte leakage and/or
internal short circuiting leading to heat generation causing rupture or file. Moreover do not
dispose of the batteries in fire, explosion and/or intense burning may result.
▪ Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid on the
battery, proceed as follows:
− Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact.
− In case of skin or eye contact, follow the instructions below:
