4Original Instructions

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.

■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.

■Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean

and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and

grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and

control of the tool in unexpected situations.

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.

■Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or

modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit

unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or

risk of injury.

■Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or

excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature

above 130°C 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 power tool serviced by a qualified repair

person using only identical replacement parts. This

will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

■Never service damaged battery packs. Service

of battery packs should only be performed by the

manufacturer or authorized service providers.

GENERAL PRUNING SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

■Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain

when the pruning saw is operating. Before you start

the pruning saw, make sure the saw chain is not

contacting anything. A moment of inattention while

operating pruning saws may cause entanglement of

your clothing or body with the saw chain.

■Always hold the pruning saw with one hand on the

rear handle and the other hand on the front handle.

■Hold the pruning 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 pruning 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 by flying debris or accidental

contact with the saw chain.

■Do not operate a pruning saw in a tree, on a ladder,

from a rooftop, or any unstable support. Operation

of a pruning saw in this manner could result in serious

personal injury.

■Always keep proper footing and operate the pruning

saw only when standing on fixed, secure and level

surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss

of balance or control of the pruning saw.

■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 pruning 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.

■Carry the pruning saw by the rear handle with the

pruning saw switched off and away from your body.

When transporting or storing the pruning saw,

always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of

the pruning 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 break or increase the

chance for kickback.

■Cut wood only. Do not use pruning saw for purposes

not intended. For example: do not use pruning saw for

cutting metal, plastic, masonry or non-wood building

materials. Use of the pruning saw for operations different

than intended could result in a hazardous situation.

■This pruning saw is not intended for tree felling.

Use of the pruning saw for operations different that

intended could result in serious injury to the operator or

bystanders.

■Follow all instructions when clearing jammed

material, storing or servicing the pruning saw. Make

sure the switch is off and the battery pack is removed.

Unexpected actuation of the pruning 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.
