tools. 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) Maintain power tools. 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.
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.
6. SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.

CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting
a live wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool live and could give the operator an
electric shock.
4. 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.
5. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree.
Operation of a chain saw while up in a tree may
result in personal injury.
6. 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.
7. When cutting a limb that is under tension
be alert for spring back. When the tension
in the wood fibres is released the spring loaded
limb may strike the operator and/or throw the
chain saw out of control.
8. 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.
9. 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 fit the guide
bar cover. Proper handling of the chain saw will
reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with
the moving saw chain.
10. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing accessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may
either break or increase the chance for kickback.
11. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil
and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery
causing loss of control.
12. Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for
purposes not intended. For example: do not
use chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry
or non-wood building materials. Use of the
chain saw for operations different than intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
