Know Your Tool and Its Capabilities
This machine is a battery-powered portable chain saw that is
designed for residential use.
This machine is composed of an electric motor, which drives a
chain that runs on a bar.
The double braking system stops chain movement when the
motor is stopped or in the event of kickbacks while working.
Intended use
This machine was designed and manufactured for
felling, bucking and delimbing trees or cutting wooden
objects with dimensions suitable for the cutting bar's
capabilities.
Improper use
Any other use differing from the above mentioned applications
poses a serious hazard to the user and may damage both the
tool and your personal property. Examples of improper use
include, but are not limited to:
• trimming hedges;
• carving;
• sectioning pallets, crates and various packing materials;
• sectioning furniture or other materials with nails, screws or
other metal components;
• butchering meat;
• using the machine to lift, move or split objects;
• using the machine while fastened to fixed supports.
Improper use of the machine will invalidate the warranty,
relieve the manufacturer from all liabilities, and the user will
consequently be liable for all and any damage or injury to
himself/herself or others.

Safety Warnings
m
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
1. Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered, dark
areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks ,which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
3. Keep children, bystanders and pets a safe distance away
from the power tool during operation and as the machine
cools. Children must always be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the equipment.
Electrical safety
1. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
2. Do not expose power tools or chargers to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool or charger will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating a power tool may result in serious personal
injury.
