notice anything abnormal in operation.
8. Carefully inspect the chain saw if you drop or
strike it against something hard.

out of reach of children. When storing saw,
use a scabbard (chain cover).

in the cut, support the workpiece near the cut
using blocks or the like.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)
• Always switch off the tool before insertion or
removal of the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from
the tool while pressing the buttons on both sides of
the cartridge.
• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on
the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing
