3. 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.
4. 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.

2.2.6. MAINTENANCE

1. 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.

2.2.7. TOOL'S END OF LIFE MANAGEMENT

When the tool reaches the end of its life, PELLENCkeeps the end-of-life sheet of the equipment at
1.
disposal. The end-of-life sheet provides instructions for safely removing components.

2.3. CHAINSAW SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Keep all parts of the body away from the chain when the chainsaw is operating. Before you start the
chainsaw, make sure that the chain is not in contact with anything. A moment of inattention while operating
a chainsaw may cause entanglement of your clothing or a body part with the chain.
2. Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle.
Holding the chainsaw with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury and should never
be done.
Hold the chainsaw by its insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may come into con-
3.
tact with hidden wiring or its own power cord. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the chainsaw "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
Wear eye protection. In addition personal protective equipment for hearing, head, hands, legs and feet
4.
is recommended. Adequate protective equipment will reduce personal injury from flying debris or accidental
contact with the saw chain.
5. Do not operate a chainsaw from an unstable position in a tree, on a ladder, from a rooftop, or any
unstable support. Operation of a chainsaw in this manner could result in serious personal injury.
6. Always keep proper footing and operate the chainsaw only when standing on fixed, secure and level
surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control of the chainsaw.
7. When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibre is
released the springing limb may strike the operator and/or throw the chainsaw 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 chainsaw by the front handle with the chainsaw switched off and away from your body. When
transporting or storing the chainsaw always fit the chain guide protector cover. Proper handling of the
chainsaw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving chain.
10. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing the bar and chain. Improperly ten-
sioned 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 only wood. Do not use chainsaw for purposes for which it is not intended. For example: do not use
chainsaw for cutting metal, plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the chainsaw for operations
other than intended uses could result in a hazardous situation.
13. Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have a clear understanding of all the necessary procedures. Serious
injury could occur to the operator or bystanders from a falling tree.

2.4. CAUSES OF KICKBACK AND PREVENTIVE MEASURES

Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the chain guide touches an object, or when the wood closes in and
pinches the saw chain while cutting.
