accidentally touching the cutting material with the tip of the guide bar to
protect against kickback.
Jamming the saw chain on the top side of the bar can cause the bar to
kick back quickly towards the operator.
You may lose control of the chainsaw which could lead to serious injury.
Do not rely solely on the chainsaw's safety devices. It is the responsibility
of the user to take several measures to avoid accidents and injury during
operation.
The recoil is the result of incorrect use of the chainsaw or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking the
following measures:
• - Hold the saw firmly with the hand, with the thumb and fingers
firmly clamped on the saw handle, and positioning the body and
hands so as to limit the recoil force. The kickback force can be
controlled by the operator, provided appropriate countermeasures
are taken. The chain saw must not be released.
• - Do not reach too far with the saw or make cuts at a height higher
than shoulder height. This avoids unintentional touching with the
end of the saw and allows better control of the saw in unexpected
situations.
• - Only use the guide bars and chains specified by the
manufacturer. Replacing bars and chains with unsuitable ones can
lead to chain breakage or kickback.
• - Follow the manufacturer's instructions for sharpening and
servicing the chain saw.
Additional safety tips:
• - Hold the chainsaw only by the insulated handles due to the fact
that the chain of the chainsaw may touch an invisible electric wire.
If the chainsaw chain touches a live wire, voltage may be applied
to exposed parts of the tool and the operator may receive an
electric shock.

PURPOSE
The cordless chainsaw is a hand-held device. It is driven by a DC
commutator motor. This type of power tool is designed for work in the
home garden. The chainsaw can be used for tree pruning, branch
trimming, firewood preparation, wood for the fireplace and other
applications involving wood cutting. The cordless chainsaw is a power
tool for amateur use only.
OPERATION OF THE DEVICE
PROPER BATTERY HANDLING AND OPERATION
• - The battery charging process should be under the control of the
user.
• - Avoid charging the battery at temperatures below 0°C.
• - Only charge the batteries with the charger recommended by the
manufacturer. The use of a charger designed to charge a different
type of battery poses a risk of fire.
• - When the battery is not in use, keep it away from metal objects
such as paper clips, coins, keys nails, screws, or other small metal
items that can short-circuit the battery terminals. Short-circuiting
the battery terminals can cause burns or fire.
• - In the event of damage and/or misuse of the battery, gases may
be released. Ventilate the room, consult a doctor in case of
discomfort. The gases may damage the respiratory tract.
• - Fluid leakage from the battery can occur in extreme conditions.
Liquid leaking from the battery can cause irritation or burns. If a
leak is detected, proceed as follows:
• - Carefully wipe off the liquid with a piece of cloth. Avoid contact of
the liquid with the skin or eyes.
• - if the liquid comes into contact with the skin, the relevant area on
the body should be washed immediately with copious amounts of
clean water, or neutralise the liquid with a mild acid such as lemon
juice or vinegar.
• - if the liquid gets into the eyes, rinse them immediately with plenty
of clean water for at least 10 minutes and seek medical advice.
• - Do not use a battery that is damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified batteries can act unpredictably, leading to fire, explosion
or danger of injury.
• - The battery must not be exposed to moisture or water.
• - Always keep the battery away from a heat source. Do not leave it
in a high temperature environment for long periods of time (in direct
sunlight, near radiators or anywhere where the temperature
exceeds 50°C).
• - Do not expose the battery to fire or excessive temperatures.
Exposure to fire or temperatures above 130°C may cause an
explosion.
NOTE: A temperature of 130°C can be specified as 265°F.
• - All charging instructions must be followed, and the battery must
not be charged at a temperature outside the range specified in the
rating data table in the operating instructions. Charging incorrectly
or at temperatures outside the specified range can damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
BATTERY REPAIR:
• - Damaged batteries must not be repaired. Repairs to the battery
are only permitted by the manufacturer or an authorised service
centre.
• - The used battery should be taken to a disposal centre for this type
of hazardous waste.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CHARGER
• - The charger must not be exposed to moisture or water. The
ingress of water into the charger increases the risk of shock. The
charger may only be used indoors in dry rooms.
• - Unplug the charger from the mains before carrying out any
maintenance or cleaning.
• - Do not use the charger placed on a flammable surface (e.g.
paper, textiles) or in the vicinity of flammable substances. Due to
the charger's temperature increase during the charging process,
there is a danger of fire.
• - Check the condition of the charger, cable and plug each time
before use. If damage is found - do not use the charger. Do not
attempt to disassemble the charger. Refer all repairs to an
