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
tool's operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
f)
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 grip surfaces dry, clean and
free of oil and grease. Slippery handles and grip
surfaces hinder safe operation and control of the
power tool in unforeseen 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.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
c)
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.
e) Do not use a damaged or modified battery.
Damaged or modified batteries may behave
unpredictably and cause fire, explosion or injury.
Do not expose batteries to fire or excessive
f)
temperatures. Fire or temperatures above 130 °C
may cause an explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and never
charge the battery or cordless tool outside the
temperature range specified in the operating
manual. Incorrect charging or charging outside
the permitted temperature range can destroy the
battery and aggravate the fire hazard.
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.
Handsaw safety warnings
• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain
when the chain saw is operating. Before you start the
handsaw, 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.
• The power tool must only be held by the insulated
grifffles because the saw chain may touch concealed
wires. Saw chains touching a live wire will make metal
parts of the power tool 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 flying debris or accidental contact with the
saw chain.
• Do not work on trees with the handsaw. There is a risk
of injury when working on a tree.
• Always keep proper footing and operate the handsaw
only when standing on fixed, secure and level surface.
Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance
or control of the handsaw.
• 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 handsaw out of control.
• Use extreme caution when cutting brush and sapli-
ngs. The slender material may catch the saw chain and
be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
• Carry the handsaw switched off and away from your
body. When transporting or storing the handsaw,
always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of
the handsaw will reduce the likelihood of accidental
contact with the moving saw chain.
• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning
and changing the bar and chain. Improperly tensi-
oned 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 handsaw for purposes
not intended. For example: do not use handsaw for
cutting metal, plastic, masonry or non-wood building
materials. Use of the handsaw for operations different
than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
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.
