e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables bettercontrol
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothingand gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelle
-
ry or long hair can becaught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collectionfacilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection canreduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct po
-
wer tool for your application. Thecorrect power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and o. Any power toolthat cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from thepower tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storingpower tools. Such pre
-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the powertool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of child
-
ren and do not allow personsunfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e) Treat electric tools carefully. Check whether the
moving parts work perfectly and do not drag,
whether not broken or damaged to such an
extent that functioning of electric tools could
be aected. Have any damaged parts repaired
before using the machine. Many accidentsare
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharpcutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with theseinstructions,
taking into account the working conditions and
the work to beperformed. Use of the power
tool for operations dierent from those intended
couldresult in a hazardous situation.
5) Using and treatment of cordless tools.
a) Charge the batteries only in chargers recom
-
mended by the manufacturer. Risk of re for a
charger suitable only for a certain type of batteries
or, as appropriate, accumulators, if used for other
accumulators.
b) Use only such accumulators in this electric
appliance that have been designed for this
appliance. Use of other accumulators may lead to
injuries and risk of re.
c) Do not leave an accumulator not being used
near oce clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metal items that could cause
contact bridging. Short circuit between accumu-
lator contacts may result in burns or re.
d) Liquid may leak from an accumulator if used
improperly. Prevent contact with such liquid.
Rinse an aected body part with water in case
of accidental contact. If liquid gets to your eye,
seek medical advice.Liquid leaking from a battery
may cause skin irritation or burns.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identicalreplacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Safety instructions for Electrical
branch chainsaw
Keep all parts of your body in safe distance from
the saw when running. Before starting the saw,
make sure the saw chain does not touch anything.
A moment of inattention when working with the
chainsaw is able to cause the saw chain to catch your
clothes or parts of your body.
Wear protective glasses and ear protectors.
Further, wearing head, hand and leg protection
equipment is recommended. Suitable protective
clothing minimises the risk of injury by thrown-away
wood chips and possible contact with the saw chain.
Do not work on trees with the chainsaw. There is a
risk of injury when working on a tree.
Provide safe posture at all times and use the
chainsaw only when standing on a solid, safe and
level surface. A slippery or unstable surface, such as
ladder, may lead to loss of balance or loss of control over
the chainsaw.
When cutting a tense branch, be sure to know
that the branch will bounce back. If tension in the
wood bres gets released, the tense branch may hit
the operator and/or cause a loss of control over the
chainsaw.
Be especially careful when cutting scrubs and
saplings.
Thin material may get caught in the chainsaw
and hit you or you may lose your balance.
Carry the chainsaw by the front handle in a
switched-o condition and the saw chain must be
deected from your body. Fit a protection cover
on the chainsaw whenever it is transported or sto-
red. Careful chainsaw treatment reduces the likelihood
of an accidental contact with the running saw chain.
Other safety instructions

safe distance is 10 m.
Provide adequate lighting or good lighting conditions
when working with the machine.
