PRODUCT SAFETY WARNINGS
5. To reduce the risk of explosion, ensure the battery pack
is not left in the sun for extended periods of time and that it
is kept away from fire.
6. Do not carry individual battery packs in your pockets or
bag as they could short-circuit against other metal items.
7. Should a li-ion battery catch fire, ensure to use the
correct fire extinguisher to combat the fire.
DO NOT
THROW WATER ON A BURNING LI-ION BATTERY.
8. If the battery pack becomes too hot during charging,
disconnect and switch off immediately. Contact the service
centre directly.
9. Do not attempt to open the battery yourself.
10. When the battery pack is not in use keep it away
from other metal objects such as paperclips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or other small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.
CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF KICKBACK:
1. Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar
touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches
the chain saw in the cut.
2. If the tip of the guide bar makes contact with an object, it
may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar
up and back towards the
operator.
3. Pinching the chain saw along the top of the guide bar may
push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.
4. Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of
the saw which could result in serious personal injury.
5. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into
your saw. As a chain saw user, you should take several steps
to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
PRODUCT SAFETY WARNINGS
6. Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below:
- Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height.
This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better
control of the chain saw in unexpected situations.
- Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the
manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains may
cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
- Follow the manufacturers sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the chain saw. Decreasing the depth gauge
height can lead to increased kickback.
Residual risks
Even if you use this power tool in accordance with the
instructions, certain residual risks cannot be eliminated. The
following hazards may arise in connection with the tools
construction and design:
- Damage to lungs if an effective dust mask is not worn.
- Damage to hearing if effective hearing protection is not worn.
- Health defects resulting from vibration emission if the
appliance is being used over longer periods of time or not
adequately managed and properly maintained.
- Cut injuries if no safety clothing is used
