Safety Instructions

Please read and follow all safety instructions carefully to avoid malfunctions, damage, and personal injury. Always observe the general safety notes and the specific notes provided.

General Safety

• Read this manual carefully and use the saw only as instructed.
• Dispose of packaging material safely, out of reach of children.
• The saw is intended for cutting branches, slats, hard and soft wood for private use only. Not for professional continuous use.
• Keep out of reach of children. It is not a toy.
• Persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities should only use the saw under supervision or with proper instruction.
• Children and adolescents are not permitted to operate the saw, except for supervised training for those over 16.
• Note all warning symbols; they indicate important safety instructions. Failure to comply can result in serious injury!
• Operate the saw with only one person at a time. Ensure bystanders are not in the work area.
• Check the safe operating condition of the saw, especially the guide bar and chain, before each use.
• Maintain a stable footing while working.
• Hold the machine firmly and securely when switching on.
• Ensure the guide bar and saw chain are free and do not contact the workpiece when switched on.
• Keep hands away from the sawing area. Do not reach under the workpiece. Contact with the saw chain can cause serious injury.
• Guide the saw onto the workpiece only when switched on. Otherwise, there is a risk of kick-back if the chain gets caught.
• Ensure the base plate always contacts the workpiece during sawing to prevent chain jamming and loss of control.
• After finishing, switch off the saw and only remove the chain from the cut after it has stopped completely to avoid kick-back.
• Clamp material securely. Do not support the workpiece with hands or feet. Do not touch objects or the ground with the running saw. Risk of kick-back.
• Use a stable support (e.g., sawhorse) for sawing timber and thin branches. Do not stack timber.
• Secure logs before sawing.
• When working on slopes, always face uphill.
• Be cautious when cutting splintered wood; splinters can be thrown by the chain, increasing injury risk.
• Foreign objects (nails, screws, metal, sand) cause increased wear on the guide bar and chain.
• A blunt chain can cause overheating and motor damage.
• Always remove the battery when checking/adjusting chain tension, mounting the chain, or troubleshooting. Remove battery if not using the device temporarily.

Battery and Charger Safety

WARNING: Lithium-ion batteries pose a fire, burn, and explosion hazard if not used, stored, or charged correctly.

• Use the charger only with a 230 V mains supply.
• Follow charger usage instructions before charging.
• Do not use the charger with batteries other than those supplied. Keep the charger clean to prevent short circuits and overheating.
• Allow batteries to cool for 15 minutes after charging or heavy use.
• Recharge only with manufacturer-specified chargers. Using a charger for a different battery type can cause fire. Charge only with the supplied or specifically designed charger.
• Use only designated batteries with the machine. Other batteries can cause injury and fire.
• If the charger cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, an authorized workshop, or a specialist.
• Keep batteries out of reach of children.
• Store batteries in a dry place at room temperature (approx. 20°C) when not in use.
• Keep unused batteries away from metal objects (paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws) that could short-circuit terminals, causing burns or fire.
• Avoid contact with battery leakage fluid. Rinse with water if contact occurs. Seek medical attention if fluid gets into eyes. Leakage can cause skin irritation or burns.
• Protect batteries and charger from moisture. Do not operate the charger outdoors.
• Unplug the charger when not in use, before cleaning or maintenance.
• Handle batteries carefully: do not drop, subject to pressure, mechanical stress, extreme heat or cold. Do not open, disassemble, crush, heat above 60°C, or incinerate. Do not dispose of in fire.
• Use only original accessories and spare parts.
• Do not modify the saw.
• If the saw is damaged, stop using it and have it repaired by a professional or contact customer support. Do not disassemble or attempt self-repair.
• The machine is designed for use up to 2000 m altitude.
• Avoid complacency from frequent use; careless actions can cause severe injury.
• Keep handles and grip surfaces dry, clean, and free from grease/oil. Slippery surfaces impair safe handling.
• Never service damaged batteries. Only the manufacturer or authorized service providers should service batteries.

• Keep the extension pole dry and prevent water from entering contacts.
• Ensure the saw is free-moving when starting.
• Sawing from a ladder or unstable surface is not allowed.
• Do not stand directly under the branch being cut; branches can fall without warning. Work at an angle of 60° or less.
• Be aware that the saw may kick back violently when cutting with the upper tip.
• When working, observe the ground for fallen branches that could cause tripping.
• Do not operate near electrical lines ⚡.
