product damage due to short circuit, never immerse your tool,
battery pack, or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside
them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain
industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing products,

CHAINSAW SAFETY WARNINGS

Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when
operating the product. Before you start the chainsaw, make
sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of
inattention while operating chainsaws may cause entanglement of
your clothing or body with the saw chain.
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.
Hold the product by the insulated gripping surface only, because
the saw chain may contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting 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 protection. Further protective
equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is recommended.
Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by flying
debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree. Operation of a chainsaw while
up in a tree may result in personal injury.
Always keep proper footing and operate the chainsaw only
when standing on fixed, secure and level surface. Slippery or
unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or
control of the chainsaw.
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 chainsaw out
of control.
Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The
slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you
or pull you off balance.
Carry the chainsaw by the front handle with the chainsaw
switched off and away from your body. When transporting
or storing the chainsaw always fit the guide bar cover. Proper
handling of the chainsaw will reduce the likelihood of accidental
contact with the moving saw chain.
Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and
changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may
either break or increase the chance for kickback.
