SAFETY RULES & PRECAUTIONS
Battery Tools Use And Care (continued)
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, 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.
• Recharge only with the charger 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.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or
other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. 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.
Service
• 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.
Additional General Safety Warnings
• Some regions have regulations that restrict the use of the product. Check with your local authority for advice.
• Never allow children or people unfamiliar with the instructions to use the product.
• Ensure before each use that all controls and safety devices function correctly. Do not use the power tool if the chain
break and switch does not stop the motor.
• Wear full eye and hearing protection, strong sturdy gloves as well as head protection while operating the product.
• Beware of thrown, flying or falling objects; keep all bystanders, children and animals at least 15m away from work area.
• Do not operate in poor lighting. The operator requires a clear view of the work area to identify potential hazards.
• Use of hearing protection reduces the ability to hear warnings (shouts or alarms). The operator must pay extra attention
to what is going on in the working area.
• Operating similar tools nearby increases both the risk of hearing injury and the potential for other persons to enter your
working area.
• Keep all parts of your body away from any moving part.
• Inspect the machine before each use. Check for correct operation of all controls including the chain brake. Check for
loose fasteners, make sure all guards and handles are properly and securely attached. Replace any damaged parts
before use.
