the respective type of tool. You should
also consider the working conditions and
the work to be carried out. The use of
power tools for purposes other than those
intended for the respective tool may result in
dangerous situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is suit-
able for one type of battery pack may create
a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically des-
ignated battery packs. Use of any other bat-
tery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or oth-
er small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) Service
a) Have the power tool serviced by qualified
technical personnel only; repairs should
be carried out using exclusively original
spare parts. This will ensure the continued
safe operation of the power tool.
7) Safety instructions for chain saws
• Keep all parts of your body clear of the
chain while the saw is running. Before
starting the saw, make sure that the chain

with a chain saw, even a short moment of
inattentiveness may result in clothes or parts
of the body being caught by the chain.
• Always hold the chain saw with your right
hand at the rear handle and your left hand
at the front handle. Holding the chain saw
differently (left hand – rear handle / right hand
– front handle) during operation will increase
