Battery Tool Use And Care; Service; Chain Saw Safety Warnings - Oregon CS300 Original Instruction Manual

SAFETY RULES
• 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, 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.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

• 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 the chain saw only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create 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 terminal
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.
• Do not disassemble the chain saw,
charger, or battery pack or attempt to
repair these products. Doing so could
result in electrical shock.

SERVICE

qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained .

CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

• 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.
• 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. NOTE: For
chain saws designed with the guide bar on
the left side, the reference to "right hand"
and "left hand" positioning is reversed .
• Wear safety glasses and hearing
protection. Further protective
equipment for head, hands, legs and
feet is recommended. Adequate protective
clothing will reduce personal injury by flying
debris or accidental contact with the saw
chain.
• Do not operate a chain saw in a tree.
Operation of a chain saw while up in a tree
may result in personal injury.
• Always keep proper footing and
operate the chain saw only when
standing on fixed, secure and level
surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as
ladders may cause a loss of balance or control
of the chain saw.
• Follow the manufacture's sharpening
and maintenance instructions for the
saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge
height can lead to increased kickback.
