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, 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 to 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 power tool 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 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 working area.
■
Operating similar tools nearby increases both the risk
of hearing injury and the potential for other persons to
enter your working 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 machine 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 machine in any way or use parts
and accessories which are not recommended by the
manufacturer.
WARNING
If the machine is dropped, suffers heavy impact or begins
to vibrate abnormally, immediately stop the machine and
inspect for damage or identify the cause of the vibration.
Any damage should be properly repaired or replaced by
an authorized service centre.
CHAINSAW SAFETY WARNINGS
■
Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain
when the chainsaw is operating. 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.
