Designated use

The battery pruner saw is designed exclusively
for domestic, DIY and gardening applications. In
this sector, the pruning saw can be used for light
wood sawing work, e.g. for:
■
Sawing timber
■
Pruning hedges
■
Sawing off weak branches
Thanks to the electric drive, the battery pruner
saw can be used not only on open ground, but al-
so in closed rooms for sawing wood. Any other
application not in accordance with the intended
use described here shall be regarded as misuse.
It is not intended for felling trees.
This appliance is intended solely for use in non-
commercial applications. Any other use as well
as unauthorised conversions or modifications are
regarded as contrary to the intended use and will
result in voiding of the warranty as well as loss of
conformity; the manufacturer will thus decline any
responsibility for damage and/or injury suffered
by the user or third parties.
CAUTION! Danger of injury due to non-
designated use! If wood or other substances
embedded with foreign bodies are sawn with the
chain saw, injury can result.
■
Only use the chain saw for light wood sawing
work.
■
Before sawing wood, check for foreign bod-
ies, e.g. nails, screws, fittings.
