Proper use of battery-powered tools
z
Recharge the battery only with chargers
that have been specifically recommended
by the manufacturer.
If a different charger is
used, there is a risk of fire.
z
Operate the electric tool only with the
battery provided for this task.
The use of
other batteries can lead to injury or fire.
z
Keep the battery that is not in use away
from office clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metallic objects that could
cause shorting of the contacts.
A short-cir-
cuit of the battery contacts may lead to burns
or fire.
z
Improper use may lead to liquid leaking out
from the battery. Avoid contact with the liq-
uid. In case of accidental contact with the
battery liquid, rinse with water. In case of
contact with the eyes please seek medical
assistance.
Leaking battery liquid may lead to
skin irritations or burns.
Service
z
If the electric tool needs to be repaired,
have the repair carried out by specialist
personnel and instruct them to use only
original spare parts.
This ensures the
operational safety of the electric tool.
Device-specific safety instructions
z
Keep all parts of the body away when the
saw is operating. Before starting the saw,
ensure that the saw chain is not touching
anything.
While working with a chain saw,
one instant of negligence may result in cloth-
ing or body parts being caught by the saw
chain.
z
Always hold the chain saw with your right
hand at the rear handle and your left hand
on the front handle.
Holding the chain saw
the other way round enhances the risk of inju-
ries and should not be used.
z
Wear safety goggles and ear muffs. It is
recommended to use other protective gear
for the head, hands, legs and feet.
Appropri-
ate protective clothing reduces the risk of inju-
ry caused by shavings flying about and
accidental contact with the saw chain.
z
Do not work with the chain saw on a tree.
There is risk of injuries when operating the saw
on a tree.
z
Always ensure a stable stance and posture
and use the chain saw only if you are
standing on a solid, safe and level floor.
A slippery floor or unstable surfaces, such as
on a ladder, may lead to loss of balance or loss
of control of the chain saw.
z
Reckon with the fact that while cutting a
branch under tension, it is likely to recoil or
rebound.
When the tension in the wooden fi-
bres gets released, the tensioned branch may
hit the operator and / or snatch control of the
chain saw.
z
Be particularly careful while cutting under-
growth and young trees.
The thin material
may get caught in the saw chain and hit you or
make you lose your balance.
z
Carry the saw chain at the front handle
when it is switched off so that the saw
chain is turned away from your body. Al-
ways pull the protective cover over the saw
chain when transporting it or storing it
away.
Working with the saw chain carefully
and diligently reduces the likelihood of touch-
ing it inadvertently while it is operating.
z
Follow the instructions for lubrication,
tightening the chain and replacing acces-
sories.
A chain that has not been tightened or
lubricated properly may either snap or en-
hance the risk of a rebound or recoil.
z
Keep the handles dry, clean and free from
oil and grease.
Greasy and oily handles are
slippery and cause loss of control.
z
Use it to saw only wood. Do not use the
chain saw for work that it is not designed or
intended for - Example: Do not use the
chain saw to saw plastics, brickwork or
construction materials that are not made of
wood.
Using the chain saw for work that it has
not been designed or intended for may lead to
hazardous situations.
z
Never try to use a machine that is incomplete
or one that has been modified without approv-
al.
z
Please note that in the case of devices that
have been discharged, there is a basic risk of
injury caused by residual charge.
z
These devices are not meant to be used by
persons with little experience and / or knowl-
edge or by those with physical, sensory or
mental limitations, unless they are supervised
by persons in charge of their safety or have re-
ceived instructions from them about how these
devices are to be used.
z
Youth below 16 years of age should not oper-
ate the devices.
