ATTENTION ● Indication of a potentially dan- gerous situation that may lead to damage to property. General Power Tool Safety Instructions 몇 WARNING ● Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri- ous 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 work areas invite accidents. b Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos- pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq- uids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c Keep children and by- standers away while oper- ating 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 adapt- er plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock. b Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur- faces such as pipes, radia- tors, 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 elec- tric shock.English 23 d Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car- rying, pulling or unplug- ging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entan- gled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e When operating a power tool outdoors, use an ex- tension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use re- duces the risk of electric shock. f If operating a power tool in a damp location is una- voidable, use a residual current device (RCD) pro- tected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. 3 Personal safety a Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com- mon sense when operat- ing a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influ- ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in se- rious personal injury. b Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropri- ate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-posi- tion before connecting to power source and/or bat- tery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d 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 pow- er tool may result in personal injury. e Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal- ance at all times. This ena- bles better control of the power tool in unexpected sit- uations. f Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-24 English traction and collection fa- cilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related haz- ards. 4 Power tool use and care a Do not force the power tool. Use the correct pow- er tool for your applica- tion. The correct power tool will do the job better and saf- er at the rate for which it was designed. b Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, chang- ing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preven- tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained us- ers. e Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s op- eration. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly main- tained power tools. f Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main- tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g Use the power tool, acces- sories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these in- structions, taking into ac- count the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations dif- ferent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. 5 Battery tool use and care a Recharge only with the chargers 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. b Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of anyEnglish 25 other battery packs may cre- ate a risk of injury and fire. c When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metallic ob- jects, like paperclips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metallic ob- jects that can make a con- nection from one terminal to another. Shorting the bat- tery terminals together may cause burns or a fire. d Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc- curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addi- tionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the bat- tery may cause irritation or burns. 6 Service a Have your power tool ser- viced by a qualified repair person using only identi- cal replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Additional General Safety Instructions Note ● Regulations may restrict the use of this device in some regions. Seek advice from your local authorities. DANGER ● Risk of fatal inju- ry from cuts as a result of uncon- trolled device movements.

The age of the operator may be limited by local restrictions. ● You need an un- obstructed view of the work area in order to be able to recognise any potential dangers. Use the device only under good lighting conditions. ● Before operation, make sure the device, all control elements, and safety devices are working properly. Check for loose locks, make sure all pro- tective covers and handles are properly and securely fastened. Only use the device when it is in a correct condition. ● Replace any worn or damaged parts be- fore operating the device. ● Never use the device if the trigger on the handle does not switch on and off correctly. ● Risk of kickback due to loss of balance. Avoid an abnormal posture, keep a stable, safe footing and maintain your bal- ance. ● Serious injuries due to negligence through familiarity26 English with the device due to frequent use. ● Immediately stop the de- vice and check for damage or identify the cause of the vibra- tion if the device has been dropped, hit or vibrates abnor- mally. Have damage repaired by the authorised Customer Ser- vice or replace the device. 몇 CAUTION ● Wear full eye protection and hearing protec- tion, strong and sturdy gloves and head protection when oper- ating the device. Wear a face mask when the work is dusty. ● Wear long, heavy trousers, sturdy shoes and well-fitting gloves when working with the device. Do not work barefoot. Do not wear any jewellery, san- dals or short trousers. ● Risk of injury when loose fitting clothing, hair or jewellery is caught by moving parts of the device. Keep clothing and jewellery away from moving parts of the device. Tie long hair back. ● Hearing protection can impair your ability to hear warning sounds, so pay attention to haz- ards in your vicinity and in the work area. ● The operation of similar tools in the environment increases the risk of hearing damage and the likelihood of failing to hear potential hazards, e.g. people entering your work area. ● Slippery handles and gripping surfaces prevent safe operation and control of the de- vice in unexpected situations. Keep handles and gripping sur- faces dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. ● Only use ac- cessories and spare parts which are approved by the manufac- turer. Only original accessories and original spare parts ensure that the appliance will run fault- free and safely. Safety precautions for cordless saw 몇 WARNING ● Do not use the device if there is a danger of lightning. ● Ensure that all pro- tective devices and handles are correctly fitted, securely fas- tened and in good condition. ● Ensure a firm footing, a clean workplace and plan a retreat path from falling branches be- fore using the device. ● Beware of exhaust fumes, oil vapour and sawdust. If necessary, wear a mask or breathing apparatus. ● Always hold the branch cutter with both hands. Hold the shaft firmly with one hand. Hold the rear handle firmly with the other hand, operate the power trigger lockout button and the trigger. ● Risk of electric shock if the saw chain comes into contact with hidden power lines. Hold power tools only by the insulated gripping surfaces, as the contact with live cables can make theEnglish 27 metal parts of the device live. ● Risk of injury. Do not make any modifications to the device. Do not use the device to drive at- tachments or devices not rec- ommended by the manufacturer of the device. Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide rail touches an object, or when the wood bends and jams the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact may cause a sudden reverse reac- tion in some cases, kicking the guide rail up and back towards the operator. Jamming of the saw chain in the top of the guide rail may push the rail rapidly back towards the operator. Any of these reactions can lead to a loss of control. 몇 WARNING ● Serious injuries due to loss of control through a kickback. Do not rely solely on the built-in safety devices, but take appropriate measures to work accident-free and injury- free. ● You must wear the carry- ing belt provided when using the device. The carrying belt is fitted with a quick-release buckle. The carrying belt helps you to control the device when it is lowered af- ter cutting and to hold the weight of the device during cutting. ● Serious injuries if the carrying belt cannot be removed quickly enough in an emergency. Famil- iarize yourself with the carrying belt and the quick-release buck- le before using the device. Do not wear clothing over the shoul- der strap or otherwise interfere with access to the quick-release buckle. ● Before switching on the device, make sure that the saw chain does not touch any objects. ● Serious injuries if a wrongly tensioned saw chain jumps out of the guide rail. Check the chain tension before each use. Make sure the chain is oiled, especially for new saw chains. ● Switch the motor off, remove the battery pack and make sure that all moving parts have stopped moving: Before cleaning the device or removing a blockage. When leaving the device unat- tended. Before mounting or removing attachments. Before checking, cleaning or working on the device. ● Risk of injury due to kickback. Measures to prevent a kickback: Make sure your work area is clear of obstacles. Avoid any contact of the guide tip with branches, twigs or oth- er objects while working with the branch cutter. Hold the device with both hands. Position your body and arms so that you can resist kickback forces.28 English Never let go of the branch cut- ter during operation. Avoid unnatural postures. This gives you more control over the branch cutter and prevents unintentional contact with the tip of the bar in unex- pected situations. Only use the replacement bars and chains recommend- ed by the manufacturer. Incor- rect replacement bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback. Sharpening the saw chain is a challenging task. The manu- facturer recommends replac- ing a worn or dull chain with a new saw chain. ● Risk of injury. Do not use the device on ladders or unstable surfaces. Always stand with both legs on firm ground to keep your balance when cutting. ● Risk of electric shock. Do not work with the device within 10 m of overhead lines. ● Risk of inju- ry if a branch under tension snaps back when cutting. ● Watch for falling branches and branches that spring back after falling to the ground. ● The oper- ator can lose their balance if thin wood gets caught in the saw and flies in the direction of the oper- ator. Be careful when sawing small shrubs and saplings. ● Check the saw teeth if the cut- ting performance diminishes. Keep the cutting tools sharp and clean. Sharp cutting tools are easier to control and do not block so easily. If necessary, re- place the chain and the bar. On- ly use original spare parts from the manufacturer. ● Risk of inju- ry due to a jammed cutting de- vice. If the saw chain or guide rail has become trapped too high to reach it, seek the advice of a professional arborist to safely remove the cutting de- vice. ● Before each use, check that the shaft connection of the rod and the cutting tool are se- curely fastened. ATTENTION ● Only store the device indoors. Additional safety instructions for the battery pack 몇 WARNING ● Danger of injury, fire and product damage due to short-circuit. Corrosive or con- ductive liquids, such as salt wa- ter, certain chemicals, bleach, and products containing bleach can cause a short-circuit. Do not immerse the device, the remov- able battery or the charger in liq- uids. Make sure that no liquids penetrate into the device or the battery pack. Safe transport and storage 몇 WARNING ● Switch the de- vice off, allow it to cool down and remove the battery pack before storage or transportation. ● Cov-English 29 er the cutting tool with the bar scrabbard before storing or transporting the device. 몇 CAUTION ● Risk of injury and damage to the device.
