G.
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.
H.
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 use
the guide bar cover. Proper handling of
the chain saw reduces the likelihood of
accidental contact with the moving saw
chain.
I.
Follow the instructions for lubricating,
chain tensioning, and changing
accessories. Improperly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.
J.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from
oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are
slippery, causing loss of control.
K.
Avoid kickback. Kickback may occur when
the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an
object, or when the wood pinches the saw
chain while you are cutting. Tip contact may
cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking
the guide bar up and back toward you;
pinching the saw chain along the top of the
guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly
back toward you. Either of these reactions
may cause you to lose control of the saw,
which could result in a serious personal
injury. You can avoid kickback by taking
proper precautions as given below:
•
Use both hands whenever you
operate the chain saw. Maintain a
firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the chain saw handles,
with both hands on the saw, and with
your body and arm in position that
allows you to resist kickback forces.
You can control kickback forces if proper
precautions are taken. Do not let go of
the chain saw!
•
Do not overreach and do not cut
above shoulder height. This helps
prevent unintended tip contact and
enables better control of the chain saw
in unexpected situations.

Service
Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This ensures that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.
6.
Battery Safety
A.
Do not charge the power tool in rain or in
wet locations.
B.
Do not use a battery-operated power tool
in the rain.
C.
Use only the following type and size of
battery(ies): Toro battery Model 88525 or
88526 and battery charger Model 88527.
D.
Remove or disconnect the battery before
servicing, cleaning, or removing material
from the power tool.
E.
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire; the
cell may explode. Check with local codes
for possible special disposal instructions.
F.
Do not open or mutilate the battery.
Released electrolyte is corrosive and may
cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may
be toxic if swallowed.
G.
Do not open or mutilate the battery.
Released electrolyte is flammable and can
cause damage if exposed to fire.
H.
Exercise care in handling batteries to
prevent shorting the battery with conducting
materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys.
The battery or conductor may overheat and
cause burns.
I.
Charging time increases if the battery
pack is not charged within the appropriate
temperature range.
