Chain saw safety warnings

ter control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.

■

Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.

■

If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used.

Use of these devices can reduce dust-

related hazards.

3.4

Power tool use and care

■

Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-
rect power tool for your application.

The

correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.

■

Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool

that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.

■

Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools.

Such preventive safety mea-

sures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.

■

Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these instruc-
tions to operate the power tool.

Power

tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.

■

Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, break-
age 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.

Prop-

erly maintained cutting tools with sharp cut-
ting edges are less likely to bind and are eas-
ier to control.

■

Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions, 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 hazard-
ous situation.

3.5

Battery tool use and care

■

Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer.

A charter that is suit-

able 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, lie paper-
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects, that can make a con-
nection 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 accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help.

Liquid ejected form the

battery may cause irritation or burns.

3.6

Service

■

Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical re-
placement parts.

This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

■

Keep all parts of the body away from the
saw chain when the chain saw is operat-
ing. Before you start the chain saw, make
sure the saw chain is not contacting any-
thing.

A moment of inattention while operat-

ing chain saws may cause entanglement of
your clothing or body with the saw chain.

■

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 in-
creases the risk of personal injury and should
never be done.

■

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring.

Saw chains contact-

ing a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.

■

Wear safety glasses and hearing protec-
tion. Further protective equipment for
head, hands, legs and feet is recommend-
