riod.
• Checking the completeness, as-
sembly and setting of the chain
saw (see details below) before
start to work. Repeat the checking
regularly during your work.
• It is recommended that the unex-
perienced user should have prac-
tical instruction in the use of the
chainsaw and the protective equi-
pment from an experienced ope-
rator. The initial practice should
be cutting logs on a saw horse or
cradle.

by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of expe-
rience and knowledge, unless they

for their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.

Battery pack safety warnings
• Ensure the switch is in the off
10
position before inserting battery
pack. Inserting the battery pack
into machines that have the switch
on can cause accidents.
• Use only original battery packs
intended specifically for this ma-
chine. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury
and fire.
• Do not open the battery. Danger
of short-circuiting.
• Protect the battery against heat
(e. g., against continuous intense
sunlight and fire) water and mois-
ture. Danger of explosion.
• In case of damage and improper
use of the battery, vapours may
be emitted. Ventilate the area and
seek medical help in case of com-
plaints. The vapours can irritate
the respiratory system.
• Use the battery pack only in con-
junction with this product and/
or product family. This measure
alone protects the battery against
dangerous overload.
• The battery can be damaged by
pointed objects such as nails or
screwdrivers or by force applied
externally. An internal short cir-
cuit can occur and the battery can
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
• Do not short-circuit the battery.
There is danger of explosion.
• Store and use the battery only
instructions
within a temperature range bet-
ween –20 °C and 50 °C. As an
example, do not leave the battery
in the car in summer.
• Occasionally clean the venting
slots and contact pins of the bat-
tery pack using a soft, clean and
dry brush.
