Electrical components, e.g. power cord of charger, may only be repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. Keep the battery guides free from foreign matter - clean as necessary. Do not spray the machine with water. Do not clean your machine with a pressure washer. The solid jet of water may damage parts of the machine. Clean plastic components with a cloth. Do not use aggressive detergents. They may damage the plastic. Store chain saw in a dry, locked location with the front hand guard on ƒ, the battery removed and out of reach of children (see chapter "Storing the Machine" in the instruction manual). General Power Tool Safety Warnings This chapter relays the prescribed wording of general safety advice for handheld motor-operated electric chain saws contained in UL 60745-1 and UL 60745-2-13. The safety precautions and warnings on avoiding an electric shock given under "2) Electrical safety" do not apply to STIHL cordless electric power tools. WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. 1) Work area safety a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. 2) Electrical safety English a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) 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. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) 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. MSA 160 C, MSA 200 C 23

WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions.
Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a)
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
b)
Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust.
Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c)
Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
2) Electrical safety
a)
Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power
tools.
Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b)
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.
c)
Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions.
Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d)
Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts.
Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e)
When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
f)
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.
