GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. 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.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified technician
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
PRODUCT SAFETY WARNINGS
SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MOUNTED
POWERED POLE SAW
1. 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 chain is not contacting
anything. A moment of inattention while operating
chainsaw may cause entanglement of your clothing or
body with the saw chain.
2. Do not use the machine when the operator is tired,
ill or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.
Always disconnect the mains plug before performing any
maintenance work, when the chainsaw is not in use and
before changing any tools.
3. Hold the saw firmly with both hands, with fingers and
thumbs hooked around the handles. Steady yourself with
your body and arms in a position in which you can control
the kickback forces. Provided appropriate measures are
taken, an operator should be capable of controlling the
kickback forces. Never let go of the chainsaw.
4. 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 configuration
increases the risk of personal injury and should never be
done.
5. Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
6. Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further
