[. . . ] Do not disassemble charger or battery cartridge; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair is required. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. The battery charger is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. [. . . ] Carefully inspect the chain saw if you drop or strike it against something hard. When not in use, chain saws should be stored in a dry, and high or locked-up place — out of reach of children. Also use safety footwear; snug fitting clothing; protective gloves; and head protection. Before making a cut, remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire from the tree. Secure the workpiece so that it will not move suddenly during operation. To prevent the saw chain from being pinched in the cut, support the workpiece near the cut using blocks or the like. 1) • Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of the battery cartridge. € To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the tool while pressing the buttons on both sides of the cartridge. € To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in place with a little click. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around you. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted correctly. Insert the battery cartridge so that the plus and minus terminals on the battery cartridge are on the same sides as their respective markings on the battery charger. Insert the cartridge fully into the port so that it rests on the charger port floor. When the battery cartridge is inserted, the charging light color will change from green to red and charging will begin. You can recharge the battery cartridge fully after discharging it completely and recharging a couple of times. 0 Number of cells 10 CAUTION: • The battery charger is for charging Dolmar battery cartridge. The battery cartridge will cool faster if you remove the battery cartridge from the battery charger. [. . . ] Bring the tip guard/front face of housing into contact with the branch to be cut before switching on. Cutting without bringing the tip guard/front face of housing into contact with the branch may cause the guide bar to wobble, resulting in injury to operator. 10 & 11) When cutting thick branches, first make a shallow undercut and then make the finish cut from the top.
