Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
4.
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, addition-
ally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns.
5.
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.
6.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not
7.
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
1.
Have your power tool serviced by a qual-
ified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
2.
Follow instruction for lubricating and
changing accessories.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
3.
and grease.
4.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the appli-
ance or the battery pack except as indi-
cated in the instructions for use and care.
Cordless Chain saw safety warnings
1.
Keep all parts of the body away from the
saw chain when the chain saw is operat-
ing. Before you start the chain saw, make
sure the saw chain is not contacting any-
thing. A moment of inattention while operat-
ing 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 top 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
3.
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 protec-
4.
tion. 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.
Do not operate a chain saw, on a ladder,
5.
from a rooftop, or any unstable support.
Operation of a chain saw in this manner
could result in serious 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 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 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
8.
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 top 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 acci-
dental 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.
13. Causes and operator prevention of
kickback:
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, kick-
ing 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. Either of
these reactions may cause you to lose con-
trol of the saw which could result in serious
personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon
the safety devices built into your saw. As
a chain saw user, you should take several
steps to keep your cutting jobs free from
accident or injury.
