Dangerous environment
•
Do not use power tools in damp or wet conditions, or expose them to rain.
Provide adequate surrounding work space and keep area well lit. Do not
use power tools where there is a risk of explosion or fire from combustible
material, flammable liquids, flammable gasses, or dust of an explosive
nature. When using power tools avoid contact with any earthed items
such as pipes, radiators, cookers, refrigerators, metal baths and taps.
Protect yourself from vibration
•
Hand held power tools may produce vibration. Vibration can cause
disease. Gloves to keep the operator warm may help to maintain good
blood circulation in the fingers. Hand held tools should not be used for
long periods without a break.
Maintain your power tool
•
Ensure all ventilation holes are kept clear at all times. Overheating and fire
may otherwise result.
Always disconnect
•
Before changing fittings or accessories, always ensure that your tool is
disconnected from the power source.
Switch off before connecting
•
Ensure that the power tool is switched off before connecting to the power
source. If the power tool stops unexpectedly, turn the power switch to off.
Do not abuse the power cord
•
Be sure your cable or extension cable is in good condition. Always have
a damaged cable or extension cable replaced at an authorised service
centre before using it. Never yank or pull the cable to disconnect it from
the power socket. Never carry your tool by its cable. Keep the cable away
from damp, heat, oil, solvents, and sharp edges.
Don't leave the tool running unattended
• Always wait until your tool has completely stopped functioning, and has
been unplugged, before leaving it.

1600W Electric Chainsaw
Chainsaw Safety
•
Always check the work area for hidden objects, fencing, cables etc.
Ensure that material to be cut does not contain any form of foreign
objects. Only use this chainsaw to cut wood. Be sure that it is safe to cut
before beginning a job.
•
Always wear appropriate safety equipment. Use of this tool requires the
use of gloves, eye and face protection, dust mask, ear defenders, hard
hat, and sturdy clothing.
•
If the chainsaw becomes jammed, switch off immediately. Unplug the
chainsaw from the power supply before attempting to clear jammed
material.
•
Do not use this product in wet conditions. Ensure that material to be cut
is dry before starting work.
•
Take care to keep the power lead away from the cutting area. Cutting
through the power lead may cause an electric shock.
•
Always keep cutting blade properly lubricated, keep covered when not
in use.
•
Always carry the chainsaw by its front handle, with the blade pointing
backwards, away from your body.
•
Be prepared for the possibility of kickback. Under some circumstances,
if used incorrectly, the chainsaw may be thrown back towards the user.
Proper use, and proper maintenance will significantly reduce the chance
of kickback occurring.
•
Never pass arms or legs below the blade when cutting. Always stand
back from the cutting area, in a stable position.
•
Check that other people are a safe distance away from you work area
before starting to cut. If tree felling, all other people should be a minimum
distance equal to twice the height of the tree away. Never allow children
or pets near to the work area.
•
Be aware that some wood dust is toxic. This is especially likely if you are
cutting wood treaded with stains, or preservatives. If you are unsure of
what treatments your wood may have had, do not cut.
•
If you intend to fell a tree, always plan an escape route before cutting.
Ensure that there is a clear space behind you, at least twice as far as the
tree is tall. The escape route should be clear of all obstructions that could
cause you to trip.
•
Do not work alone. Always ensure that there is someone nearby to help
in an emergency.
•
Asses your own physical condition. Using a chainsaw, even a smaller
model is physically demanding. Do not start a job unless you are
confident that you are fit and strong enough to complete it. Never use a
chainsaw when tired, unwell, or under the influence of any kind of drugs
or alcohol.
