English
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are dan‐
gerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condi‐
tion that may affect the power tool's opera‐
tion. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. 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 different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situa‐
tion.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow
for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
27.6 Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable
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 desig‐
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
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 other
small metal objects, that can make a connec‐
tion 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.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam‐
aged or modified. Damaged or modified bat‐

teries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C may cause explo‐
sion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc‐
tions. Charging improperly or at tempera‐
tures outside the specified range may dam‐
age the battery and increase the risk of fire.
27.7 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace‐
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Serv‐
ice of battery packs should only be per‐
formed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers.

Chain Saw Safety Warnings

General safety warnings for chain saws
a) Keep all parts of your body away from the
saw chain when the chain saw is operating.
Before you start the chain saw, make sure
the saw chain does not touch anything. Your
clothing or parts of your body may get caught
in the saw chain in consequence of a
moment of inattention while operating a
chain saw.
b) Always hold the chain saw with your right
hand on the rear handle and your left hand
on the front handle. Holding the chain saw
the other way round increases the risk of
injury and is not permitted.
c) Always hold the chain saw by the insulated
handles because the saw chain may touch
hidden electric wires. Any saw chain contact
with a live wire may energize metallic parts
of the power tool and result in an electric
shock.
d) Wear eye protection. Further protective
equipment for hearing, head, hands, legs
and feet is recommended. Suitable protec‐
tive clothing helps reduce the risk of injury
from flying wood chips and accidental con‐
tact with the saw chain.
e) Never work with a chain saw while standing
in a tree, on a ladder, on a roof or other
