CARRYING THE CHAIN SAW -
Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the
saw stopped and disconnected from the mains supply. Keep your finger off
the switch and make sure that the guide bar and saw chain are to the rear.
Always fit the chain guard when transporting the chain saw.
DO NOT ABUSE THE MAINS LEAD -
Never carry the chain saw by the mains lead, or
pull it to disconnect it from the mains socket. Keep the mains lead away
from heat, oil and sharp edges.
DISCONNECT THE CHAIN SAW -
Disconnect the chain saw from the mains supply
when not in use, before maintenance and when making any adjustments.
STAY ALERT -
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the
chain saw when you are tired.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS -
Before each use of the tool, any part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for the alignment and free running of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. Any damaged part should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorised service centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction
booklet. Have defective switches replaced by authorised service
personnel. Do not use the tool if the switch does not function properly.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE -
Keep the chain sharp and clean for better and
safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing the
chain. Inspect the mains lead and any extension leads periodically and if
damaged have them repaired by an authorised service facility. Keep
handles dry, clean and free from grease.
WARNING -
The use of any accessory, or attachment, other than those
recommended in this instruction book, may present a risk of personal injury.
HAVE YOUR TOOL REPAIRED BY A QUALIFIED PERSON -
This electric tool is in
accordance with the relevant safety requirements. Repairs must only be
conducted by qualified persons using original parts.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY -
Never let any visitors or children touch the tools or the
extension lead. All visitors should be kept away from the work area.
USE BOTH HANDS -
Grip the chain saw with both hands. Keep your hands and
fingers wrapped around the handles and do not release your hands until
the saw chain has stopped running.
USE WEDGES -
The use of wedges will help to control tree felling and prevent the
chain saw binding in the cut.
USE CORRECT PART OF THE BLADE -
Always use the underside of the chain bar saw
for cutting. Never attempt to use the top of the chain bar.
AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING
- Ensure that the chain saw is disconnected
from the mains supply when not in use. Never carry the chain saw by the
cable, or pull the cable to disconnect it from the mains socket. Always fit
