•
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the
of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is u
n
avoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply
. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
e
lectric shock.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
•
Stay alert , watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a chain saw while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating chain saws may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear ey
e
protection. Safety equipment such as dust
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
•
Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
•
Remove any adjusting key or wrenches before turning the power tool on
. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the chain saw may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balanc
e
a

chain saw in unexpected situations.
•
Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing or jew
e
lry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long h
a
ir can be caught in moving parts.

f devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
are
connected and properly used.
Use of these devices c
