account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.
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.
2.2 SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
FOR CHAIN-SAWS AND
ELECTRIC CHAIN-SAWS.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Wear safety glasses and hearing
protection. Further protective equipment
for head, hands, legs and feet is
recommended. Adequate protective clothing
will reduce personal injury from flying debris
or accidental contact with the saw chain.
• Do not operate chain saw while up in
a tree. Operation of a chain saw while up
in a tree may result in personal injury.
• 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
loss of balance or control of the chain saw.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension,
be alert of 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Follow instructions for lubricating,
chain tensioning and changing
accessories. Improperly tensioned
or lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from
oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles
are slippery, causing loss of control.
• 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 other than
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
2.3 CAUSES OF KICKBACK AND
OPERATOR PROTECTION
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the
guide bar touches an object, or when the wood
closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a
sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide
bar up and back towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of
the guide bar may push the guide bar
rapidly back towards the operator.
