f) Keep cutting attachments sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting
attachments with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories,
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) Recharge the batteries only in
chargers 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.
b) Use power tools only with
specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.

c) When battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal
objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small
objects that could make a
connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns
or a fire.
d) Misuse may cause liquid to escape
from the battery. Avoid contact with
the liquid. 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.
Chain saw safety warnings
Keep all parts of the body away
–
from the saw chain when the chain
saw is operating, make sure the
saw chain is not contacting
anything. A moment of inattention
while operating chain saws may
cause entanglement of your
clothing or body with the chain saw.
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 the other way
round increases the risk of injury
and may not be used.
The electric saw may be held only
–
by the insulated grip surfaces
because the saw chain may contact
hidden electrical wires. Saw chains
which touch a live wire make
metallic parts of an electric saw live
and could give the user an electric
shock.
Wear safety glasses and hearing
–
protection. Further protective
equipment for head, hands, legs
and feet is recommended. Suitable
protective clothing helps reduce the
risk of injury from thrown wood chips
and accidental contact with the saw
chain.
Do not operate a chain saw in a
–
tree. There is an increased risk of
injury when working in a tree.
Always keep proper footing and
–
operate the chain saw only when
standing on a fixed, secure and
level surface. A slippery surface or
instable support such as a ladder
could cause the operator to lose
control of the chain saw.
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 chain saw 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.
