to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
13.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
14.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
15.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
16.
If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Power tool use and care
17.
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.
18.
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.
19.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
20.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool.
Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
21.
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.
22.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
23.
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
24.
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.
25.
Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs.
Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
26.
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 a fire.
27.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water.
If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
Service
28.
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.
29.
Follow instruction for lubricating and
changing accessories.
30.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
GEB071-7
Cordless Chain saw safety
warnings:
1.
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 contacting anything.
A moment of
inattention while operating chain saws may cause
entanglement of your clothing or body with the
saw chain.
2.
Always hold the chain saw with your right
hand on the rear handle and your left hand on
the front handle.
Holding the chain saw with a
reversed hand configuration increases the risk of
personal injury and should never be done.
3.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may
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.
