Power tool use and care
•
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.
•
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.
•
Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the bat-
tery pack from the power tool
before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools.
Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentaIly.
•
Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not al-
low persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool.
Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
•
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.
•
Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean.
Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less
Iikely 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 condi-
tions and the work to be per-
formed.
Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
• For sawing work on a slope, always
stand above the tree trunk. To keep con-
trol at the moment of “sawing through”,
reduce the contact pressure at the end
of the cut without loosening the firm grip
on the chainsaw handles. Ensure that the
saw chain does not come into contact
with the ground. After completing the
cut, wait for the chainsaw to come to a
standstill before removing the chainsaw.
Always switch off the chainsaw motor
before moving from one tree to another.
• Dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples
and wire must be removed from the tree.
Service
•
Have your power tool serviced
by a qualified repair person us

of the power tool is maintained.
