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 or
bystanders while felling a tree .
m) Follow all instructions when clearing jammed
material, storing or servicing the chain saw.
Make sure the switch is off and the battery
pack is removed. Unexpected actuation of the
chain saw while clearing jammed material or
servicing may result in serious personal injury.
n) Recommendation that the first-time user
should, as a minimum, practise cutting logs on
a saw-horse or cradle.
o) Recommendation to have sharpening and
maintenance of the saw chain performed by
authorised service centres.
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 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.
Kickback is the result of chain saw misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
a) Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the chain saw handles, with both
hands on the saw and position your body and
arm 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
chain saw.
b) Do not overreach and do not cut above
shoulder height. This helps prevent unintended tip
Cordless Chain Saw
contact and enables better control of the chain saw
in unexpected situations.
c) Only use replacement bars and chains specified
by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement guide
bars and saw chains may cause chain breakage and/
or kickback .
d) Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Even with the intended use of the appliance there
is always a residual risk, which can not prevented.
According to the type and construction of the
appliance the following potential hazards might
apply:
- Contact with exposed saw teeth of the saw chain
(cutting hazards)
- Access to the rotating saw chain (cutting hazards)
- Unforeseen, abrupt movement of the guide bar
(cutting hazards)
- Flung out of parts from the saw chain (Cutting /
injection hazards)
- Flung out of parts of the work piece
- Skin contact with the oil
- Loss of hearing, if no required ear protection used
during work
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR BAT-
TERY PACK
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or battery
pack.
b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not store
battery packs haphazardly in a box or drawer
where they may short-circuit each other or be
short-circuited by conductive materials. 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.
c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire. Avoid
storage in direct sunlight.
d) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical shock.
e) In the event of battery leaking, do not allow the
liquid to come into contact with the skin or eyes.
If contact has been made, wash the affected area
with copious amounts of water and seek medical
advice.
f) Keep battery pack clean and dry.
g) Wipe the battery pack terminals with a clean dry
cloth if they become dirty.
h) Battery pack needs to be charged before use.
Always refer to this instruction and use the
correct charging procedure.
i) Do not maintain battery pack on charge when not
