4) Power tool use and care
a)
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 rated speed for which it was designed.
b)
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.
c)
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.
d)
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.
e)
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.
f)
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g)
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.
5) Service
a)
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.
b) Have your tool repaired by a qualified person.
Any protective guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service centre unless otherwise
indicated in this instruction manual.
This electric tool complies with the relevant safety rules. Repairs should only be carried out by
qualified persons using original spare parts; otherwise this may result in considerable danger to the
user. The use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow the maintenance instructions may result in
injury or damage.
c) Maintain tools with care.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Note: Unplug tool when not in use, before servicing and before changing accessories such as chain.
3.3- Chain Saw Safety Warnings:
1- 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.
2- Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front
handle. Holding the chainsaw with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury
and should never be done.
3- Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head, hand, legs and
feet is also recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris
or accidental contact with saw chain.
4- Do not operate the chainsaw in a tree. Operation of a chainsaw while up in a tree may result in
personal injury.
5- Always keep proper footing and balance and operate the chainsaw only when standing on a fixed,
secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or
control of the chainsaw.
