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.
5. Battery tool use and care
a. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting battery pack.
Inserting the battery pack into
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
b. 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.
c. Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
d. 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.
e. 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.
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.
Additional power tool safety warnings
The intended use is described in this instruction manual. Do
not use the tool for purposes not intended; for example do
not use the tool to fell trees. The use of any accessory or
attachment or performance of any operation with this tool
other than those recommended in this instruction manual
may present a risk of personal injury.
Wear close fitting 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.
Ensure someone is nearby (but at a safe distance) in
case of an accident.
Do not use the tool while standing in a tree, on a ladder
or on any other unstable surface.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands when the motor is
running.
Do not let the moving chain contact any object at the tip
of the guide bar.
Start cutting only with the chain moving at full speed.
Do not attempt to enter a previous cut. Always make a
fresh cut.
Watch for shifting branches or other forces that could
close a cut and pinch or fall into the chain.
Do not attempt to cut a branch when the diameter of the
branch exceeds the cutting length of the tool.
Always remove the battery from the tool and place the
chain cover assembly over the chain when storing or
transporting the tool.
Keep the saw chain sharp and properly tensioned.
Check the tension at regular intervals.
Switch the tool off, allow the chain to stop and remove
the battery from the tool before carrying out any
adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
Only use genuine replacement parts and accessories.
Warning!
Additional safety warnings for compact
chainsaws.
