BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
• 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.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
• 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.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acciden-
tally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tem-
perature above 265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging im-
properly or at temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
SERVICE
• 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.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
HATCHET™ PRUNING SAWS
General pruning saw safety warnings:
• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain
when the pruning saw is operating. Before you
start the pruning saw, make sure the saw chain is
not contacting anything. A moment of inattention
while operating pruning saws may cause entangle-
ment of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
• Always hold the pruning saw with your right
hand on the trigger handle and your left hand
on the body grip. Holding the pruning saw with a
reversed hand configuration increases the risk of
personal injury.
• Hold the pruning saw by insulated gripping sur-
faces only, because the saw chain may contact
hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the pruning saw
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Wear eye protection. Further protective equip-
ment for hearing, head, hands, legs and feet is
recommended. Adequate protective equipment
will reduce personal injury from flying debris or ac-
cidental contact with the saw chain.
• Always keep proper footing and operate the prun-
ing saw only when standing on fixed, secure and
level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces may
cause a loss of balance or control of the pruning saw.
• Do not operate a pruning saw in a tree, on a lad-
der, rooftop, or scaffold unless properly trained.
To avoid death or serious injury, operator must be
trained in safe climbing techniques and in the use
of all appropriate safety equipment.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert
for spring back. When the tension in the wood fi-
bres is released the spring loaded limb may strike the
operator and/or throw the pruning saw out of control.
• Use extreme caution when cutting brush and sap-
lings. The slender material may catch the saw chain
and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
• Carry the pruning saw away from your body and
with your finger off of the trigger. When trans-
porting or storing the pruning saw always fit the
guide bar cover. Proper handling of the pruning saw
will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with
the moving saw chain.
• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain ten-
sioning and changing the bar and chain. Improp-
erly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break
or increase the chance for kickback.
• Cut wood only. Do not use pruning saw for pur-
poses not intended. For example: do not use
pruning saw for cutting metal, plastic, masonry
or non-wood building materials. Use of the prun-
ing saw for operations different than intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
• 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 or
bystanders while felling a tree.
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, 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.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose
control of the saw which could result in serious per-
sonal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety
devices built into your saw. As a pruning saw user,
you should take several steps to keep your cutting
jobs free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of pruning saw misuse and/or in-
correct operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
• Maintain a firm grip on the pruning saw and posi-
tion your body and arm(s) to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled
by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do
not let go of the pruning saw.
• Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder
height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact
and enables better control of the pruning saw in
unexpected situations.
