the rate for which it was designed.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tools 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 and in the manner intended for
the particular type of power tool, 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.
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.
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.
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 s
urfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Saw
chains contacting a live wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool live and could give the
operator an electric shock.
4. Wear safety glasses and hearing protection.
Further protective equipment for head,
hands, legs and feet is recommended.
Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal
injury by flying debris or accidental contact with the
saw chain.
5. Do not operate a Chain saw in a tree.
Operation of a Chain saw while up in a tree may
result in personal injury.
6. 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 a loss of
balance or control of the Chain saw.
7. When cutting a limb that is under tension
be alert for spring back.
When the tension in
the wood fibers is released the spring loaded limb
may strike the operator and/or throw the Chain saw
out of control.
8. 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.
9. 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 apply the guide bar cover. Proper
handling of the Chain saw will reduce the likelihood
of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
10. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing accessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either
break or increase the chance for kickback.
11. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil
and grease.
Greasy, oily handles are slippery
causing loss of control.
12. 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 different than intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
