instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate chainsaw in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Chaisaws create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep all children, bystanders, visitors, and animals out of the work area while starting or
cutting with the chainsaw. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
• Do not expose the chainsaw to rain or wet locations. Water entering a chaisaw will increase
the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current
device protected supply. Use of an RCD reduce the risk of electric shock.
• A battery-operated tool with internal batteries or a separate battery pack must be
recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for
one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a chaisaw.
Do not use a chaisaw while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating chaisaws may result in serious personal
injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in.
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 chaisaw may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control
of the chainsaw in unexpected situation.
• 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.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
