General Power Tool Safety Warnings
5) Battery tool use and care
a) 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.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.
Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified.
Damaged or
modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion
or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure
to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool
outside the temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.
6) 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) Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
GENERAL CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS:
a) 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.
b) Always hold the chain saw with your right hand on the rear 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.
c) Hold the power tool 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 power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
d) Wear safety glasses protection. Further protective equipment for hearing, head,
hands, legs and feet is recommended.
Adequate protective clothing will reduce
personal injury by flying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
