WARNING! Remove the battery before adjustment, 

maintenance or cleaning. Failure to do so could result in 

serious personal injury.

You may only make adjustments or repairs described in this manual. 

For other repairs, contact the authorised service agent.
Consequences of improper maintenance may cause the chain brake 

and other safety features to not function correctly, thus increasing 

the potential for serious injury. Keep your chainsaw professionally 

maintained and safe.
Sharpening  the  chain  safely  is  a  skilled  task.  Therefore,  the 

manufacturer strongly recommends that a worn or dull chain 

is replaced with a new one, available at your authorised service 

centre.  The  part  number  is  available  in  the  product  specification 

table in this manual.

Follow instructions for lubricating and chain tension checking and 

adjustment.
After each use, clean the product with a soft dry cloth.
Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals for security 

to ensure the product is in safe working condition. Any part that is 

damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorised 

service centre.

 WARNING! A dull or improperly sharpened chain can 

cause excessive motor speed during cutting which may result 

in severe motor damage.

 WARNING! Improper chain sharpening increases the 

potential of kickback.

 WARNING! Failure to replace or repair a damaged chain 

can cause serious injury.

 WARNING! The saw chain is sharp. Always wear protective 

gloves when performing maintenance to the chain.

Inspecting and cleaning the chain brake

BATTERIES

Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be 

recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance 

of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine 

(risk of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.

For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged, 

after used.

To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack 

from the charger once it is fully charged.

For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:

Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and 

away from moisture.
Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition.
Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
