▪ The first time user should have practical instruction in the use of chainsaw and the
protective equipment from an experienced operator.
▪ Do not attempt to hold the saw with one hand only. You cannot control reactive forces
and you may lose control of the saw, which can result in the skating or bouncing of the bar
and chain along the limb or log.
▪ Be aware of harmful dust, mist (such as saw dust or oil mist from chain lubrication) and
protect your self properly.
▪ Wear gloves and keep your hand warm. Prolonged use of chainsaws exposing the
operator to vibrations may produce white finger disease. In order to reduce the risk of
white finger disease, please wear gloves and keep your hand warm. If any of the white
finger symptoms appear, seek medical advice immediately.
▪ Drive in the spiked bumper of the chainsaw directly behind the intended hinge and pivot
the saw around this point. The spiked bumper rolls against the trunk.
▪ Only chain, guide bar and spark plug can be replaced by the user himself. Always make
sure you replace with correct material as stated in the specifications of the manual.
7 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES AND
CHARGERS
Use only batteries and chargers applicable for this machine.
7.1 Batteries
▪ Never attempt to open for any reason.
▪ Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40 °C.
▪ Charge only at ambient temperatures between 4 °C and 40 °C.
▪ Store your batteries in a cool dry place (5 °C-20 °C). Never store batteries in discharged
state.
▪ It is better for Li-ion batteries to discharge and reload them regularly (at least 4 times a
year). The ideal charge for long-term storage of your Li-ion battery is 40% of capacity.
▪ When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section “Protecting the
environment”.
▪ Do not cause short circuits. If connection is made between the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminal directly or via accidental contact with metallic objects, the battery is short circuited
and an intense current will flow causing heat generation which may lead to casing rupture
or fire.
▪ Do not heat. If batteries are heated to above 100 °C, sealing and insulating separators
and other polymer components may be damaged resulting in electrolyte leakage and/or
internal short circuiting leading to heat generation causing rupture or file. Moreover do not
dispose of the batteries in fire, explosion and/or intense burning may result.
▪ Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid on the
battery, proceed as follows:
− Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact.
− In case of skin or eye contact, follow the instructions below:
✓ Immediately rinse with water. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or
vinegar.
✓ In case of eye contact, rinse abundantly with clean water for at least 10 minutes.
Consult a physician.
Fire hazard! Avoid short-circuiting the contacts of a detached battery. Do not
incinerate the battery.
7.2 Chargers
▪ Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
