Using and handling the rechargeable tool
a) Only charge the rechargeable batteries with
charging units recommended by the manufac-
turer. A charging unit that is suitable for a particu-
lar type of rechargeable battery poses a fire haz-
ard when used with other rechargeable batteries
b) Only use the rechargeable batteries in power
tools that are designed for them. The use of
other rechargeable batteries can lead to injuries
and a risk of fire.
c) Keep the unused rechargeable battery away
from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or
other small metal objects that could cause a
short-circuit between the contacts. A short-cir-
cuit between the contacts of the rechargeable bat-
tery could result in burns or fires.
d) Liquid may leak from the rechargeable 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 med-
ical attention. Leaking battery fluid may cause skin
irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a damaged or modified rechargea-
ble battery. Damaged or modified rechargeable
batteries can behave unpredictably and cause fire,
explosion or injury.
f) Do not expose a rechargeable battery to fire
or excessive temperatures. Fire or temperatures
above 130°C may cause an explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and never
charge the rechargeable battery or recharge-
able tool outside the temperature range speci-
fied in the operating manual. Incorrect charging
or charging outside the approved temperature
range can destroy the battery and increase the
risk of fire.

Warning! This power tool generates an electromag-
netic field during operation. This field can impair ac-
tive or passive medical implants under certain condi-
tions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or dead-
ly injuries, we recommend that persons with medical
implants consult with their physician and the manufac-
turer of the medical implant prior to operating the pow-
er tool.
Special safety instructions for working with the prun-
ing saw
General pruning saw safety warnings
a) Keep all body parts away from the saw chain
when the saw is running. Before starting the
pruning saw, ensure that the saw chain is not
touching anything. When working with a pruning
saw, a moment of carelessness can result in cloth-
ing or body parts being caught by the saw chain.
b) Always hold the pruning saw with your right
hand on the rear handle and your left hand on
the front handle. Holding the pruning saw using
the opposite grip increases the risk of injuries and
shall be avoided at all times.
c) Only hold the pruning saw by the insulated
gripping surfaces, as the saw chain could hit
hidden power lines. Contact between the saw
chain and a live power line can also electrify metal
device parts and lead to an electric shock.
d) Wear eye protection. Further protective equip-
ment for hearing, head, hands, legs and feet
is recommended. Suitable protective clothing
reduces the risk of injury from flying chips and ac-
cidental contact with the saw chain.
e) Do not work with the pruning saw in a tree, on
a ladder, or from a roof or an unstable standing
surface. There is a serious risk of injury if operat-
ed in such a manner.
f) Always make sure you have a firm footing and
only use the pruning saw when standing on
firm, safe and level ground. Slippery ground or
unstable standing surfaces can cause loss of bal-
ance or loss of control of the pruning saw.
