batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f)Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
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.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed
by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
1.2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRUNING SAW
1) General chain saw safety warnings:
a) Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chain saw is operating.
Before you start the chain saw, 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 saw chain.
b) 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 with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk
of personal injury and should never be done.
c) Hold the chain saw by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of
the chain saw "live'" and could give the operator an electric shock.
d) Wear eye protection. Further protective equipment for hearing, head, hands, legs and
feet is recommended. Adequate protective equipment will reduce personal injury from flying
debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
e) Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder, from a rooftop, or any unstable
support. Operation of a chain saw in this manner could result in serious personal injury.
f)Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when standing on fixed,
secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance or
control of the chain saw.
g) When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back. When the tension in
the wood fibers is released, the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the
chain saw out of control.
h) 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.
i) Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw switched off and away from
your body. When transporting or storing the chain saw, always fit the guide bar cover.
Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the
moving saw chain.
j) Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing the bar and chain.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
k) Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not intended. For example: do not
use chain saw for cutting metal, plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use
of the chain saw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
