Save all warnings and instructions for future reference
.
The term “power tool’’ in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the
plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling
or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of
an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-
position before connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and
off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a
risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury
and fire
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal
objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the
battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush
with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
ADDITIONAL GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
Some regions have regulations that restrict the use of the product.
Check with your local authority for advice.
Never allow children or people unfamiliar with the instructions to use
the product. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.
Ensure before each use that all controls and safety devices function
correctly. Do not use the product if the “off” switch does not stop
the motor.
Wear full eye and hearing protection, strong sturdy gloves, as well
as head protection while operating the product. Use a face mask if
operation is dusty.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing, short trousers, or jewellery of any
kind.
Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level to prevent
entanglement in moving parts.
Beware of thrown, flying, or falling objects. Keep all bystanders,
children, and animals at least 15 m away from the work area.
Do not operate in poor lighting. The operator requires a clear view
of the work area to identify potential hazards.
Use of hearing protection reduces the ability to hear warnings
(shouts or alarms). The operator must pay extra attention to what is
going on in the work area.
Operating similar tools nearby increases both the risk of hearing
injury and the potential for other persons to enter your work area.
Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach. Overreaching can
result in loss of balance and can increase the risk of kickback.
Keep all parts of your body away from any moving part.
Inspect the product before each use. Check for correct operation
of all controls, including the chain brake. Check for loose fasteners,
make sure all guards and handles are properly and securely
attached. Replace any damaged parts before use.
Do not modify the product in any way or use parts and accessories
which are not recommended by the manufacturer.
WARNING! If the product is dropped, suffers heavy impact
or begins to vibrate abnormally, immediately stop the product
and inspect for damage or identify the cause of the vibration.
Any damage should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorised service centre.
CHAINSAW SAFETY WARNINGS
Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when
operating the product. Before you start the chainsaw, make
sure the saw chain is not contacting anything.
A moment of
inattention while operating chainsaws may cause entanglement of
your clothing or body with the saw chain.
Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the rear
