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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) 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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow
for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) 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.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure
to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause
explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside
the temperature range specified in the
instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
6) Service
a) 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.
b) Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers.
1) General chain saw safety warnings:
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) Wear safety glasses protection. Further
protective equipment for hearing, head,
hands, legs and feet is recommended.
Adequate protective clothing will reduce
personal injury by flying debris or accidental
contact with the saw chain.
e) Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on
a ladder, from a rooftop, or any unstable
support. Operation of a chain saw in this
manner could result in serious personal injury.
f) Always keep proper footing and operate
the chain saw only when standing on fixed,
secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable
surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control
of the chain saw.
g) When cutting a limb that is under tension ,
be alert for 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.
h) 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.
i) 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.
j) Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing the bar and chain.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may
either break or increase the chance for kickback.
k) Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw
for purposes not intended. For example:
do not use chain saw for cutting metal,
