4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c) 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.
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 tool's 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. 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.
Limbing and trimming Electric Jawsaw
JAW SAW SAFETY
WARNINGS
1. Keep all parts of the body away from
the saw chain when the jaw saw is
operating. Before you start the jaw
saw, make sure the saw chain is not
contacting anything. A moment of
inattention while operating jaw saws may
cause entanglement of your clothing or
body with the saw chain.
2. Always hold the jaw saw with your
right hand on the rear handle and
your left hand on the front handle.
Holding the jaw saw with a reversed
hand configuration increases the risk of
personal injury and should never be done.
3. Hold the jaw saw 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 power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
4. 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.
5. Do not operate a jaw saw in a tree.
Operation of a jaw saw while up in a tree
may result in personal injury.
6. Always keep proper footing and
operate the jaw 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 jaw saw.
7. 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 jaw 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.
