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,
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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow
for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
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
EN
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.
e) 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.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature . Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or tool outside
the temperature range specified in the
instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
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.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
1) GENERAL CHAIN SAW
6
SAFETY WARNINGS:
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Hold the chain saw 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
chain saw "live"and could give the operator an
electric shock.
d) Wear safety glasses protection. Further
protective equipment for hearing, head,
hands, legs and feet is recommended.
Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal
injury by flying debris or accidental contact with
the saw chain.
e) Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on
a ladder, from a rooftop, or any unstable
support. Operation of a chain saw in this manner
could result in serious personal injury.
f) 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.
g) 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.
h) 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.
i) 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.
j) Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing the bar and chain.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may
either break or increase the chance for kickback.
k) Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for
purposes not intended. For example: do
not use chain saw for cutting metal, plastic,
masonry or non-wood building materials . Use
of the chain saw for operations different than
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
l) Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have an
understanding of the risks and how to avoid
them. Serious injury could occur to the operator
