Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
•
Use the power tool, accessories and 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.
Battery tool use and care
•
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.
•
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.
Use
of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
•
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 fire.
•
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with plenty of soap
and water. If liquid contacts eyes, immediately seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
•
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.
Specific safety warnings
•
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 in contact with anything.
A moment of inattention while
operating chain saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body
with the saw chain.
•
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the
saw chain many 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.
•
Always hold the chain saw with your right hand at the rear handle and
your left hand at 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 from flying debris or
accidental contact with the saw chain.
•
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 fixed, secure and level surface.
Slippery or unstable surfaces
such as ladders may cause loss of balance or control of the chain saw.
•
When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert of spring back.
When the tension in the wood fibres 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 saw chain 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 saw chain.
•
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.
Use of the chain saw for operations other than
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
•
When not in use, store the machine out of the reach of children.
Make
sure to store the product indoors, in a dry place.
