wrench or a key left attached to the power
tool may result in personal injury.
E. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
F. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
can get caught in moving parts.
G. If devices are provided for the dust
extraction and collection, ensure that
these are connected and properly
used. Using these devices can reduce
dust-related hazards.
H. Keep your hands and feet away from the
cutting area.
3. Power tool use and care
A. Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
B. Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
C. Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before adjusting it, changing
accessories on it, or storing it. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
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. Store idle appliances indoors. When not
in use, appliances should be stored indoors
in a dry and high or locked-up place, out of
the reach of children.
F. Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, broken parts, and any other
condition that may affect the operation
of the power tools. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
G. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
H. Use the power tool, accessories,
tool bits, etc. in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Using the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
I. Keep guards in place and in working
order.
J. Use only replacement guide bars and
chains specified by the manufacturer.
Incorrect replacement guide bars and
chains may cause chain breakage and/or
kickback.
K. Follow the manufacturer's sharpening
and maintenance instructions for the
saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge
height can lead to increased kickback.
4. Chain Saw Safety
A. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain
may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Saw chains contacting a live wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool
live and could give you an electric shock.
B. Wear safety glasses, hearing protection,
and protective equipment for your head,
hands, legs, and feet. Wearing adequate
protective clothing reduces personal injury
by flying debris or accidental contact with
the saw chain.
C. Cutting trees can be hazardous and
requires expertise. Do not use the chain
saw to fell large trees that have a diameter
greater than the length of the guide bar.
D. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree.
Operating a chain saw while up in a tree
may result in personal injury.
E. Always keep proper footing and operate
the chain saw only when standing on a
fixed, secure, and level surface. Slippery
or unstable surfaces such as ladders may
cause a loss of balance or control of the
chain saw.
F. When cutting a limb that is under
tension, be alert for spring back. When
the tension in the wood fiber is released, the
spring loaded limb may strike you and/or
throw the chain saw out of control.
