5) Use and precautions to take during
use of battery-operated power tools
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 type of battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use
of other battery packs may
create a risk of injury or 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
leak from the battery: avoid all contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush
with water immediately. If the liquid
comes into contact with the eyes, seek
medical assistance immediately. Liquids
leaking from the battery terminals
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.
2.2 SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
FOR CHAIN-SAWS AND
ELECTRIC CHAIN-SAWS.
• Keep all body parts at a distance from the
toothed chain when the chain-saw is running.
Before starting the chain-saw, check that
the toothed chain is not in contact with
anything. Lack of concentration when using
the chain-saw can cause clothes or body
parts to get caught up in the toothed chain.
• Always wear safety goggles and ear
protection. Other protective equipment for the
head, hands and feet is also recommended.
The wearing of protective clothing will reduce
accidents caused by hurled workpieces and
accidental contact with the toothed chain.
• Do not use chain-saws when positioned on
a tree. Starting a chain-saw when positioned
on a tree can cause body injuries.
• Keep proper footing and balance at all times,
and only use the chain-saw on fixed, secure
and flat surfaces. Slippery or unstable
surfaces such as ladders, can cause loss
of balance or control of the chain-saw.
• When cutting a branch that is under tension,
be alert for spring back. When the tension
of the wood fibres is released, the branch
can spring back and injure the operator
and/or kick the chain-saw out of control.
• Use extreme caution when cutting small size
brush and saplings. The slender material
may catch in the chain-saw and be whipped
towards you and/or pull you off balance.
• When storing or transporting a chain-
saw always use the guide bar cover.
Correct handling of the chain-saw will
reduce the probability of unintended
contact with the moving chain.
• Follow the instructions concerning lubrication,
chain tension and replacement parts. Chains
with incorrect tension and lubrication can
break and increase the risk of kickback.
• Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Greasy and oily handles are
slippery and can cause loss of control.
• Use the chain-saw to cut wood only. Do not
use the chain-saw for purposes for which it
is not intended. For example: do not use an
chain-saw for cutting plastic, masonry or
other non-wood materials. Using the chain-
saw for operations other than those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
2.3 CAUSES OF KICKBACK AND
OPERATOR PROTECTION
Kickback can occur when the nose or tip of the
guide bar touches an object, or when the wood
closes in and pinches the chain in the cut.
Contact of the tip can, in certain cases,
cause a sudden fast reverse action,
pushing the guide bar upwards and
backwards towards the operator.
Pinching of the chain along the top
of the guide bar can rapidly push the
chain back towards the operator.
Both the above reactions may cause loss of
control of the saw, which could result in serious
injury for operators. Do not rely exclusively
on the chain-saw built-in safety devices
Chain-saw users should take additional
precautions to eliminate accident or injury risks
during cutting operations. Kickback is the result
of poor use of the tool and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking the specific precautions provided below:
• Hold the saw firmly with both hands, with the
thumbs and fingers around the chain-saw
