Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
4.
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, addition-
ally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns.
5.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
6.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure
to fire or temperature above 130 °C may
cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not
7.
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qual-
1.
ified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
2.
Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be per-
formed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers.
Follow instruction for lubricating and
3.
changing accessories.
4.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the
appliance or the battery pack except as
indicated in the instructions for use and
care.
Cordless Chain saw safety warnings
Keep all parts of the body away from the
1.
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.
2.
Always hold the chain saw with your
right hand on the top handle and your
left hand on the front handle. Holding the
chain saw with a reversed hand configura-
tion increases the risk of personal injury and
should never be done.
3.
Hold the power tool by insulated grip-
ping surfaces 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.
4.
Further protective equipment for head, hands,
legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protec-
tive clothing will reduce personal injury by flying
debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
5.
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree.
Operation of a chain saw while up in a tree
may result in personal injury.
6.
Always keep proper footing and operate
the chain saw 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 chain saw.
When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert
7.
for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres
is released the spring loaded limb may strike the
operator and/or throw the chain saw out of control.
8.
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.
9.
Carry the chain saw by the front handle
with the chain saw switched off and
away from your body. When transporting
or storing the chain saw always fit the
guide bar cover. Proper handling of the
chain saw will reduce the likelihood of acci-
dental contact with the moving saw chain.
10. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing accessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may
either break or increase the chance for kickback.
11. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from
oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are
slippery causing loss of control.
12. Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for
purposes not intended. For example: do not
use chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry
or non-wood building materials. Use of
the chain saw for operations different than
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
13. 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.
