CHAIN SAW SAFETY
WARNINGS
as they can overheat and
break.
■
Longer life and better
performance can be
obtained if the battery pack
is charged when the air
temperature is between
18
°
C and 24
°
C. Do not
charge the battery pack
in air temperatures below
0
°
C, or above 45
°
C.This is
important as it can prevent
serious damage to the
battery pack.
■
Charge only the battery
pack of the same
model provided by the
manufacturer and those of
models recommended by
the manufacturer.
■
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 chain saw is not
contacting anything.
A moment of inattention
while operating chain
saws may cause
entanglement of your
clothing or body with the
saw chain.
■
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.
■
Wear safety glasses and
hearing protection. Further
protective equipment for
head, hands, legs and
feet is recommended.
Adequate protective
clothing will reduce
personal injury by flying
debris or accidental
contact with the chain
saw.
■
Do not operate a chain
saw in a tree. Operation of
a chain saw while up in a
tree may result in personal
injury.
■
Always keep proper
footing and operate the
chain saw 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
chain saw.
■
When cutting a limb that
is under tension be alert
for spring back. When the
tension in the wood fibers
is released the spring
loaded limb may strike the
operator and/or throw the
chain saw out of control.
■
Use extreme caution
when cutting brush and
saplings. The slender
material may catch
the chain saw and be
whipped toward you or
pull you off balance.
■
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
chain saw.
■
Follow instructions
for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing
accessories.
■
Improperly tensioned
or lubricated chain may
either break or increase
the chance for kickback.
■
Keep handles dry, clean,
and free from oil and
grease. Greasy, oily
handles are slippery
causing loss of control.
■
Cut wood only. Do
not use chain saw for
purposes not intended.
For example: do not use
chain saw for cutting
plastic, masonry or non-
wood building materials.
