WARNING: When using this device, safety precautions must be followed. For your own safety and that of bystanders, please read these instructions before operating the device. Do not use the device without reading the instruction manual. Please keep the instruction manual safe for later use. WORK AREA SAFETY • Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. • Do not operate chainsaw in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Chainsaws create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. • Keep all children, bystanders, visitors, and animals out of the work area while sDtiastrrtaincgtioonrsccuatntincaguwseithyotuhetoclhoaseincsoanwtr.ol. ELECTRICAL SAFETY • 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 the chainsaw to rain or wet locations. Water entering a chainsaw will increase the risk of electric shock. • A battery-operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery. • Use a battery-operated tool only with specified battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire. • 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 chainsaw. Do not use a chainsaw while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating chainsaws may result in serious personal injury. • Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. • Avoid accidental starting. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in 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 chainsaw may result in personal injury. • Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the chainsaw in unexpected situations. • Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry 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 these devices can reduce dust-related hazards. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE • Do not force the chainsaw. Use the correct chainsaw for your application. The correct chainsaw will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. • Do not use the chainsaw if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any chainsaw that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. • Disconnect 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 chainsaws out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the chainsaw or these instructions to operate the chainsaw. Chainsaws are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. • Maintain chainsaws. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the chainsaw's operation. If damaged, have the chainsaw repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained chainsaws. • Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp 5
