FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before work, check the area for any hidden items such as wire fences.
When working, keep the appliance firmly with both hands and with a distance from your body.

Cordless-Chain saw

• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chain saw is operating. Before you start the chain saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating chain saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.

• Always hold the chain saw with your right hand
  on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done.

• Wear eye protection. Further protective equipment for hearing, head, hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective equipment will reduce personal injury from flying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.

• Do not work on trees with the chainsaw. There is a risk of injury when working on a tree.

• Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when standing on fixed, secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain saw.

• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for springback. When the tension in the wood fibres is released the spring-loaded limb may strike the operator and /or throw the chainsaw 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 chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw switched off and away from your body. When transporting or storing the chain saw, always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chain 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.

• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.

• Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not intended. For example: do not use chain saw for cutting metal, plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the chain saw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.

• The machine is not protected against electric shock when coming into contact with high-voltage lines. Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 m from currentcar-rying lines. Life-threatening danger from electric shock!

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.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator.

Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious personal injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

• Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles, with both hands on the saw and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
• Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected situations.
• Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement guide bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and mainte-nance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.

Additional Safety and Working Instructions
Ensure all guards, handles, and spiked bumper are pro-perly fitted and are in good condition.
Persons using the chainsaw should be in good health. The chainsaw is heavy, so the operator must be physically fit.
The operator should be alert, have a good vision, mobility, balance, and manual dexterity. If there is any doubt, do not operate the chain saw.
Do not start using the chainsaw until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path away from a falling tree. Beware of the emission of lubricant mist and saw dust.Wear a mask or respirator, if required.
Do not cut vines and/or small undergrowth (less than 75 mm in diameter).
Always hold the chain saw with both hands during operation. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles. Right hand must be on the rear handle and left hand on the front handle.
Before starting the chain saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting any object Watch out for falling branches and stumble Not. Branches hitting the ground can snap up and cause injury.
Do not modify the chain saw in any way or use it to power any attachments or devices not recommended by the manufacturer for your chain saw.

There should be a first-aid kit containing large wound dressings and a means to summon attention (e.g., whist-le) close to the operator. A larger more comprehensive kit should be reasonably nearby.
An incorrectly tensioned chain can jump off the guide bar and could result in serious injury or fatality. The length of the chain depends on the temperature. Check the tension frequently.

You should get used to your new chain saw by making simple cuts on securely supported wood. Do this whenever you have not operated the saw for some time. To reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting moving parts, always stop the motor, apply the chain brake, remove the battery pack and make sure all moving parts have come to a stop before:

• cleaning or clearing a blockage
• leaving the machine unattended
• installing or removing attachments
• checking, conducting maintenance or working on the machine

The size of the work area depends on the job being performed as well as the size of the tree or work piece involved.For example, felling a tree requires a larger work area than making other cuts, i.e., bucking cuts, etc. The operator needs to be aware and in control of everything happening in the work area.
Do not cut with your body in line with the guide bar and chain.If you experience kickback, this will help prevent the chain coming into contact with your head or body.
Do not use a back-and-forward sawing motion, let the chain do the work.Keep the chain sharp and do not try to push the chain through the cut.
Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of the cut.Be ready to take on the weight of the saw as it cuts free from the wood. Failure to do so could result in possible serious personal injury.
Do not stop the saw in the middle of a cutting operation.

Keep the saw running until it is already removed from the cut.Do not fix the on/off switch in the „on“ position when using the saw hand-held.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the appliance.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your device, battery pack or charger in fluid or al-low a fluid to flow inside them.

• Correct guide rail seating
• Installation/running direction of the problem-free (sharp) saw chain
• Saw chain tension (in case of a new chain, check and readjust this multiple times)
• Functioning chain lubrication
  Check the automatic chain lubrication

Regularly check the function of the automatic chain lubrication to prevent overheating and associated damage to the blade and saw chain. To do this, point the tip of the sword against a smooth surface (board, section of a tree) and let the chainsaw run. If an increasing amount of oil becomes visible during this procedure, the automatic chain lubrication is working properly.

WARNING! Danger of injury!
If the shoulder strap is not detached promptly in an emergency, serious injuries can result.

WARNING

Keep your working position in mind to ensure safe working. Do not use the pole-mounted pruner from a ladder or other unsafe position. Ensure that you have firm footing and use appropriate protective clothing. Do not be tempted to make ill-considered cuts. This can endanger yourself and others.

Cutting springpoles
A springpole is any log, branch, rooted stump, or sapling which is bent under tension by other wood so that it springs back if the wood holding it is cut or removed.

On a fallen tree, a rooted stump has a high potential of springing back to the upright position during the bucking cut to separate the log from the stump. Watch out for springpoles—they are dangerous.

WARNING
Springpoles are dangerous and could strike the operator, causing the operator to lose control of the chain saw. This could result in severe or fatal injury to the operator. This should be done by trained users.
