SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS LISTED BELOW MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE AND/
OR SERIOUS INJURY. THE TERM "POWER TOOL" IN ALL WARNINGS LISTED
BELOW REFERS TO YOUR ELECTRIC CHAINSAW.

WORK AREA

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges or refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
2. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
3. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
4. Use outdoor extension leads. If working outdoors, always use an approved
cable extension suitable for the power rating of this tool (see
specifications), the conductor size should also be at least the same size as
that on the machine, or larger. When using a cable reel, always unwind the
cable completely. We strongly recommend that this machine is connected
to the mains supply via a Residual Current Device (RCD).

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in personal injury.
2. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
