Battery tool use and care
1.
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.
2.
Use power tools only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs.
Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3.
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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
4.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid con-
tacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
5.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
fire, explosion or risk of injury.
6.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or tem
-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions.
Charging improp-
erly or at temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
1.
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.
2.
Never service damaged battery packs.
Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
3.
Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
Cordless Chain saw safety warnings
1.
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 inatten-
tion while operating chain saws may cause entan-
glement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
2.
Always hold the chain saw with your right
hand on the top handle and your left hand on
the front handle.
Holding the chain saw with a
reversed hand configuration increases the risk of
personal injury and should never be done.
3.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces only, because the saw chain may contact
hidden wiring.
Saw chains contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
4.
Wear safety glasses and hearing protection.
Further protective equipment for head, hands,
legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protec-
tive clothing will reduce personal injury by flying
debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
5.
Always keep proper footing.
6.
When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert
for spring back.
When the tension in the wood fibres
is released the spring loaded limb may strike the
operator and/or throw the chain saw out of control.
7.
Use extreme caution when cutting brush and sap-
lings.
The slender material may catch the saw chain
and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
8.
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.
9.
Follow instructions for lubricating, chain ten-
sioning and changing accessories.
Improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.
10.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease.
Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing
loss of control.
11.
Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for pur-
poses 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.
12.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the
guide bar touches an object, or when the wood
closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden
reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and
back towards the operator. Pinching the saw chain
along the top of the guide bar may push the guide
bar rapidly back towards the operator. Either of
these reactions may cause you to lose control of
the saw which could result in serious personal
injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety
devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user,
you should take several steps to keep your cutting
jobs free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incor-
rect operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
•
Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the chain saw handles, with both hands
on the saw and position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can
be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions
are taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.
