W A R N I N G
When using an cordless chainsaw, basic safety precaution should be always followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
CHILD SAFETY
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not aware of the presence of children.
•
Keep children out of the working area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult.
•
Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate this blower. Children who are 14
years of age and older must read and understand the operating instructions and safety
rules in this manual and must be trained and supervised by a parent.
•
Stay alert, and turn the blower off if a child or any other person enters the working area.
•
Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees, or other
objects that may obscure your view of a child who may run into the path of the blower.
•
Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw switched off and away from
your body. When transporting or storing the chain saw always fit the guide bar cover.
Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving
saw chain.
•
Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
•
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Greasy, oily handles are slippery
causing loss of control.
•
Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not intended. For example: do not use
chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials.
Use of the chain
saw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
