Read manual thoroughly for full safety and warning details before operating. Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Keep children and bystanders away while working to prevent distractions that could cause loss of control. Never operate the tool if tired, under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication, as inattention could lead to injury. Always wear eye protection, and consider other protective gear like dust masks, non-slip shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection. Avoid wearing loose clothing, jewellery, or anything that could get caught in moving parts, tie back long hair. Ensure the switch is off before connecting battery to prevent unintentional starting. Keep proper footing and balance while operating the tool. Never force the tool and only use it if the switch functions properly. A malfunctioning switch can make the tool unsafe and should be repaired. Regular maintenance is essential for safety and optimal performance. Always replace worn or damaged parts with original replacements. Keep all body parts away from the saw chain and never start the tool with the chain touching anything. Always hold the saw with your right hand on the rear handle and left hand on the front. Grip only insulated parts to avoid electric shock from hidden wiring. Do not use the chainsaw in a tree, on a ladder, or an unstable surface. Be cautious of kickback when cutting. Understand the risks of felling before attempting it. Carry the saw by the front handle, with the switch off, and use a guide bar cover. Follow lubrication and tension guidelines to prevent kickback. Ensure switch is off and battery is removed when clearing jams or servicing. Always have sharpening and maintenance done by authorised service centres. Read the battery and charger manuals. Never charge a damaged battery or use an incompatible charger. If battery chemicals contact skin or eyes, wash immediately and seek medical attention. Store batteries in a cool, dry place, and dispose of damaged ones properly.
