MSA 160 C, MSA 200 C

English

8

Operate charger at temperatures 

between 41 °F (5 °C) and 104 °F 

(40 °C).
Allow the charger to cool down normally 

– do not cover it.
Never bridge the contacts of the charger 

with metallic objects (e.g. nails, coins, 

jewelry) – short circuit. The charger will 

be damaged by a short circuit.
In the event of smoke or fire in the 

charger, disconnect it from outlet 

immediately.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock or 

short circuit, do not insert any objects 

into the charger's cooling slots.

WARNING

The charger heats up during the 

charging process. Do not operate on an 

easily combustible surface (e.g. paper, 

cardboard, textiles) or in an easily 

combustible environment – risk of fire.

WARNING

Do not operate in a hazardous location, 

i.e. in a location where there are 

combustible liquids (fumes), vapors or 

dusts. Chargers can produce sparks, 

which may ignite the dust or vapors – 

risk of explosion.

Never jerk the power supply cord to 

disconnect it from the wall outlet. To 

unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord. 

Have a damaged power supply cord 

repaired by an experienced electrician.
Do not use the power supply cord for 

any other purpose, e.g. for carrying or 

hanging up the charger.
Never use power supply cords that do 

not comply with regulations.
Make sure the power supply cord is 

located and/or marked so that it will not 

be stepped on, tripped over, come in 

contact with sharp edges or moving 

parts or otherwise be subjected to 

damage or stress.
An extension cord should not be used 

unless absolutely necessary. If an 

extension cord must be used, plug the 

charger into a properly wired 16 gauge 

(AWG 16) or heavier gauge extension 

cord with blades that are the same 

number, size and shapes as the blades 

on the charger.
To reduce the risk of electric shock:

Always connect the unit to a 

properly installed wall outlet.

Make sure the insulation of the 

power supply cord and plug is in 

good condition.

Unplug the power supply cord from the 

outlet when charger is not in use.
Never store a battery in the charger.
Holding and Controlling the Chain Saw

WARNING

To reduce the risk of personal injury 

from unintentional starting when 

grasping the rear handle or carrying the 

chain saw, wrap the fingers of your right 

hand tightly around the rear handle, 

identified by shading in the illustration 

above (1). Avoid grasping the chain saw 

outside the shaded area or contacting 

the trigger switch lockout or trigger 

switch.
Always hold the chain saw firmly with 

both hands when you are working. Place 

your left hand on the front handle bar 

and your right hand on the rear handle.

Use and store charger 

only indoors in dry rooms.

Check the charger's 

power supply cord and 

plug regularly for dam

-

age. If the power supply 

cord or plug is damaged, 

immediately disconnect 

the plug from the wall 

outlet to avoid the risk of 

electric shock.
