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 and accessories. 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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles
and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) 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.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified 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.
NOTE The temperature „130 °C" can be replaced
by the temperature „265 °F".
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
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. SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR CHAINSAWS
AND ELECTRIC
a) Keep all parts of the body away from the saw
chain when the chain saw is running 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 chaisaw by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the chainsaw 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 safety glasses protection. Further protective
equipment for hearing, head, hands, legs and
feet is recommended The wearing of protective
clothing will reduce accidents caused by hurled
workpieces and accidental contact with the toothed
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 of the
wood fibres 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 and/or pull you off
balance.
i) Carry the chainsaw by the front handle with the
chain saw switched off and away from your
body. When storing or transporting a chainsaw
always use the guide bar cover. Proper handling of
the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental
contact with the moving saw chain.
j) Follow the instructions concerning lubrication,
chain tension and changing the bar and chain.
Chains with incorrect tension and lubrication can
break and increase the risk of kickback.
