d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If 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 grasing
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
General saw chain saw safety warnings
Warning! Additional safety warnings for
chainsaws
Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain
when the chainsaw is operating. Before you start
the chainsaw, make sure the saw saw chain is not
contacting anything. A moment of inattention while
operating chain saws may cause entanglement of your
clothing or body with the chain saw.
Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the
rear handle and your left hand on the front handle.
Holding the chainsaw with a reversed hand confi guration
increases the risk of personal injury and should never be
done.
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.
Wear eye protection. Further protective equipment for
hearing, head, hands, legs and feet is recommended.
Adequate protective equipment will reduce personal injury
from fl ying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
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.
Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw
only when standing on fi xed, secure and level surface.
Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause
a loss of balance or control of the chainsaw.
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 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 chainsaw always fi t
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, saw chain tension-
ing and changing the bar and saw chain. Improperly
tensioned or lubricated saw chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.
Cut wood only. Do not use chainsaw for purposes not
intended. For example: do not use the chainsaw for
cutting metal, plastic, masonry or non-wood building
materials. Use of the chainsaw for operations different
than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have an under-
standing of the risks and how to avoid them. Serious
injury could occur to the operator or bystanders while
felling a tree.
Follow all instructions when clearing jammed material,
storing or servicing the chain saw. Make sure the tool
is disconnected from the power supply. Unexpected
actuation of the chain saw while clearing jammed material
or servicing may result in serious personal injury.
Wear close fi tting and protective clothing including a
safety helmet with visor/goggles, ear protectors, non- skid
safety footwear, protective bib trousers and strong leather
gloves.
Always position yourself out of the path of falling
branches.
The safe distance between a branch to be felled and
bystanders, buildings and other objects is at least 2 1/2
times the length of the branch. Any bystander, building or
object within this distance is at risk from being struck by
the falling branch.
Pre-plan a safe exit from falling branches. Ensure the exit
route is clear of obstacles that would prevent or hinder
movement. Remember wet grass and freshly cut bark is
slippery.
