are persons, in particular children or animals, within a
radius of 15 m.
● No changes may be made to the de-
vice.
WARNING ● Children and persons unfamiliar
with these instructions are not allowed to operate the
device. The age of the operator may be limited by local
restrictions.
● You need an unobstructed view of the
work area in order to be able to recognise any potential
dangers. Use the device only under good lighting condi-
tions.
● Before operation, make sure the device, all
control elements, and safety devices are working prop-
erly. Check for loose locks, make sure all protective cov-
ers and handles are properly and securely fastened.
Only use the device when it is in a correct condition.
● 
Replace any worn or damaged parts before operating
the device.
● Never use the device if the trigger on the
handle does not switch on and off correctly.
● Risk of
kickback due to loss of balance. Avoid an abnormal pos-
ture, keep a stable, safe footing and maintain your bal-
ance.
● Serious injuries due to negligence through
familiarity with the device due to frequent use.
● Imme-
diately stop the device and check for damage or identify
the cause of the vibration if the device has been
dropped, hit or vibrates abnormally. Have damage re-
paired by the authorised Customer Service or replace
the device.
CAUTION ● Wear full eye protection and
hearing protection, strong and sturdy gloves and head
protection when operating the device. Wear a face
mask when the work is dusty.
● Wear long, heavy trou-
sers, sturdy shoes and well-fitting gloves when working
with the device. Do not work barefoot. Do not wear any
jewellery, sandals or short trousers.
● Risk of injury
when loose fitting clothing, hair or jewellery is caught by
moving parts of the device. Keep clothing and jewellery
away from moving parts of the device. Tie long hair
back.
● Hearing protection can impair your ability to
hear warning sounds, so pay attention to hazards in
your vicinity and in the work area.
● The operation of
similar tools in the environment increases the risk of
hearing damage and the likelihood of failing to hear po-
tential hazards, e.g. people entering your work area.
● 
Slippery handles and gripping surfaces prevent safe
operation and control of the device in unexpected situa-
tions. Keep handles and gripping surfaces dry, clean,
and free from oil and grease.
● Only use accessories
and spare parts which are approved by the manufactur-
er. Only original accessories and original spare parts
ensure that the appliance will run fault-free and safely.
Safety precautions for cordless saw
WARNING ● Do not use the device if there is
a danger of lightning.
● Ensure that all protective devic-
es and handles are correctly fitted, securely fastened
and in good condition.
● Ensure a firm footing, a clean
workplace and plan a retreat path from falling branches
before using the device.
● Beware of exhaust fumes, oil
vapour and sawdust. If necessary, wear a mask or
breathing apparatus.
● Always hold the branch cutter
with both hands. Hold the shaft firmly with one hand.
Hold the rear handle firmly with the other hand, operate
the power trigger lockout button and the trigger.
● Risk
of electric shock if the saw chain comes into contact with
hidden power lines. Hold power tools only by the insu-
lated gripping surfaces, as the contact with live cables
can make the metal parts of the device live.
● Risk of
injury. Do not make any modifications to the device. Do
not use the device to drive attachments or devices not
recommended by the manufacturer of the device.
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide
rail touches an object, or when the wood bends and
jams the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact may cause a
sudden reverse reaction in some cases, kicking the
guide rail up and back towards the operator. Jamming
of the saw chain in the top of the guide rail may push the
rail rapidly back towards the operator. Any of these re-
actions can lead to a loss of control.
WARNING ● Serious injuries due to loss of
control through a kickback. Do not rely solely on the
built-in safety devices, but take appropriate measures to
work accident-free and injury-free.
● You must wear the
carrying belt provided when using the device. The car-
rying belt is fitted with a quick-release buckle. The car-
rying belt helps you to control the device when it is
lowered after cutting and to hold the weight of the device
during cutting.
● Serious injuries if the carrying belt
cannot be removed quickly enough in an emergency.
Familiarize yourself with the carrying belt and the quick-
release buckle before using the device. Do not wear
clothing over the shoulder strap or otherwise interfere
with access to the quick-release buckle.
● Before
switching on the device, make sure that the saw chain
does not touch any objects.
● Serious injuries if a
wrongly tensioned saw chain jumps out of the guide rail.
Check the chain tension before each use. Make sure
the chain is oiled, especially for new saw chains.
● 
Switch the motor off, remove the battery pack and
make sure that all moving parts have stopped moving:
Before cleaning the device or removing a blockage.
When leaving the device unattended.
Before mounting or removing attachments.
Before checking, cleaning or working on the device.
● Risk of injury due to kickback. Measures to prevent
a kickback:
Make sure your work area is clear of obstacles.
Avoid any contact of the guide tip with branches,
twigs or other objects while working with the branch
cutter.
Hold the device with both hands.
Position your body and arms so that you can resist
kickback forces.
Never let go of the branch cutter during operation.
Avoid unnatural postures. This gives you more con-
trol over the branch cutter and prevents unintention-
al contact with the tip of the bar in unexpected
situations.
Only use the replacement bars and chains recom-
mended by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement
bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or
kickback.
Sharpening the saw chain is a challenging task. The
manufacturer recommends replacing a worn or dull
chain with a new saw chain.
● Risk of injury. Do not use the device on ladders or un-
stable surfaces. Always stand with both legs on firm
ground to keep your balance when cutting.
● Risk of
electric shock. Do not work with the device within 10 m
of overhead lines.
● Risk of injury if a branch under ten-
sion snaps back when cutting.
● Watch for falling
branches and branches that spring back after falling to
