Battery operated units do not have to be plugged
into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are
always in operating condition. Be aware of pos-
sible hazards even when unit is not operating.
Remove the battery pack from the chain saw
before cleaning, servicing, storing, removing
material from the unit, changing accessories
such as the bar and chain, or when not in use.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
