•
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.
•
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
2.4
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.
2.5
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 fire.
•
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with plenty of soap
and water. If liquid contacts eyes, immediately
seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
2.6
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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CHAIN SAWS
3.1
GENERAL CHAIN SAW SAFETY
WARNINGS:
•
Keep all parts of the body away from the saw
chain when the chain saw is operating. Before
you start the chain saw, make sure the saw
chain is not contacting anything.
A moment of
inattention while operating chain saws may cause
entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw
chain.
•
Always hold the chain saw with your right hand
on the rear handle and your left hand at the front
handle.
Holding the chainsaw with a reversed hand
configuration increases the risk of personal injury
and should never be done.
•
Hold the chain saw by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring.
Saw chains contacting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
chain saw "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
•
Wear eye protection. Further protective
equipment for hearing, head, hands, legs
and feet is recommended.
Adequate protective
equipment will reduce personal injury from flying
debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
•
Do not operate a chain saw on a ladder, from
a rooftop, or any unstable support. Operation of
a chain saw in this manner could result in serious
personal injury.
•
Always keep proper footing and operate the
chain saw only when standing on fixed, secure
and level surface.
Slippery or unstable surfaces
