f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for
connection of dust extraction and
- collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
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
rate 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 attachments sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting
attachments with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories,
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 electric power tool
serviced by a qualified repair person
using only original replacement
parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is
maintained.
Chain saw safety warnings
–
Keep all parts of the body away
from the saw chain when the chain
saw is operating, 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 chain saw.
–
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 the other way
round increases the risk of injury
and may not be used.
–
Always hold your electric power tool
by the insulated handles because
the saw chain may contact hidden
electrical wires or your own power
cord. Any saw chain contact with a
live wire may energize metallic parts
of the power tool and result in an
electric shock.
–
Wear safety glasses and hearing
protection. Further protective
equipment for head, hands, legs
and feet is recommended. Suitable
protective clothing helps reduce the
risk of injury from thrown wood chips
and accidental contact with the saw
chain.
–
Do not operate a chain saw in a
tree. There is an increased risk of
injury when working in a tree.
