Causes and prevention of a kickback

Kickback may occur if the tip of the saw-bar touches an object or if the wood bends and the saw-chain becomes jammed during cutting. In some cases, contact with the bar tip can cause an unexpected backward reaction, causing the bar to bounce up and towards the operator.

Jamming the saw-chain at the upper edge of the saw-bar can quickly push the bar back in the direction of the operator. Any of these reactions can cause you to lose control of the saw and possibly cause serious injury. Do not rely solely on the safety devices built into the chainsaw. As a chainsaw user you should take various measures to be able to work without accidents and injuries.

A kickback is the result of incorrect or faulty use of the power tool. It can be prevented by taking appropriate precautions as described below:

• Hold the chainsaw with both hands, with thumb and fingers around the handles of the chainsaw. Move your body and arms to a position where you can withstand the kickback forces. If appropriate measures are taken, the operator can control the kickback forces. Never let go of the chainsaw.
• Avoid abnormal posture. This prevents unintentional contact with the bar tip and allows better control of the chainsaw in unexpected situations.
• Always use replacement bars and saw chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and saw chains can cause the chain to break and/or kick back.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions for sharpening and maintenance of the saw-chain. Too low depth limiters increase the tendency for kickback.

After use

• Turn off the device, remove the battery and then place the device in a safe place.
• Do not store the device within the reach of children.
• Make sure that the ventilation slots of the device are free from dirt.
• Replacement parts must meet the requirements specified by the manufacturer.

For this reason, only original spare parts or spare parts approved by the manufacturer should be used. When replacing the device, please observe the installation instructions provided and remove the

Battery.

- Only have repairs performed by a qualified specialist or a specialist workshop.

Safety information for the charger

• Keep the charger away from rain or moisture. Water entering a charger increases the risk of electric shock.
• Keep the charger clean. Soiling increases the risk of electric shock.
• Check the charger, cable and plug before each use. Do not use the charger if you notice any damage. Do not open the charger yourself and have it repaired by qualified personnel using only original spare parts.

Damaged chargers, cables and plugs increase the risk of electric shock.

• Do not place any objects on the charger or place it on soft surfaces. This could result in a fire hazard.
• Always check that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the charger's rating plate.
• Never use the charger if the cable, plug or the device itself is damaged by external influences. Take the charger to the nearest specialist workshop.
• Never open the charger. In the event of a fault, take it to a specialist workshop.

Safety information for Li-Ion batteries

• Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short circuit.
• Protect the battery from heat, including continuous exposure to sunlight, fire, water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion.
• Vapours may escape if the battery is damaged or used improperly. Supply fresh air and consult a doctor if you have any complaints. The vapours can irritate the respiratory tract.

• Liquid may leak from the battery if used incorrectly. Avoid contact with it. In case of accidental contact, rinse with water. If the liquid gets into your eyes, seek additional medical attention. Leaking battery fluid may cause skin irritation or burns.

• Only use original batteries with the voltage specified on the rating plate of your power tool. If other batteries are used, e.g. imitation, reconditioned batteries or batteries from other manufacturers, there is a risk of injury and material damage due to exploding batteries.

• The battery voltage must match the battery charging voltage of the charger. Otherwise there is a risk of fire and explosion.
• Only charge the batteries with chargers recommended by the manufacturer. Using a charger that is suitable for a particular type of battery creates a fire hazard if it is used with other batteries.
• Sharp objects such as nails or screwdrivers or external force may damage the battery. An internal short circuit may occur and the battery may burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
