• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acciden-
tally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tem-
perature above 265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging im-
properly or at temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
SERVICE
• 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.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
FOR CHAINSAWS
General chainsaw safety warnings:
• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw
chain when the chainsaw is operating. Before you
start the chainsaw, make sure the saw chain is
not contacting anything. A moment of inattention
while operating chainsaws may cause entanglement
of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
• Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand
on the rear handle and your left hand on the front
handle. Holding the chainsaw with a reversed hand
configuration increases the risk of personal injury and
should never be done.
• Hold the chainsaw 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 chainsaw "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
• Wear eye protection. Further protective equip-
ment for hearing 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 chainsaw on a ladder, from a
rooftop, or any unstable support. Operation of
a chain saw in this manner could result in serious
personal injury.
• Always keep proper footing and operate the
chainsaw only when standing on fixed, secure
and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces may
cause a loss of balance or control of the chainsaw.
• 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 chainsaw out of control.
• Use extreme caution when cutting brush and sap-
lings. The slender material may catch the saw chain
and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
• Carry the chainsaw by the front handle with
the chainsaw switched off and away from your
body. When transporting or storing the chainsaw
always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of
the chainsaw will reduce the likelihood of accidental
contact with the moving saw chain.
• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tension-
ing and changing the bar and chain. Improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.
• Cut wood only. Do not use chainsaw for purposes
not intended. For example: do not use chainsaw
for cutting metal, plastic, masonry or non-wood
building materials. Use of the chainsaw for opera-
tions different than intended could result in a hazard-
ous situation.
• This chainsaw is not intended for tree felling.
Use of the chainsaw for operations different than
intended could result in serious injury to the operator
or bystanders.
• Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless you
have been specifically trained to do so. Operation
of a chain saw in a tree without proper training could
increase the risk of serious personal injury.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide
bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and
pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden
reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back
towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide
bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards
the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose con-
trol of the saw which could result in serious personal
injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices
built into your saw. As a chainsaw user, you should
take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from
accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of chainsaw misuse and/or incor-
rect operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
• Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers en-
circling the chainsaw handles, with both hands on
the saw and position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can
be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions
are taken. Do not let go of the chainsaw.
• Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder
height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and
enables better control of the chainsaw in unexpected
situations.
• Only use replacement guide bars and saw chains
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replace-
ment guide bars and saw chains may cause chain
breakage and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and main-
tenance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing
the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
• Use extreme caution to reduce the risk of falling.
Keep the saw chain well clear of any harness and
lifeline to prevent them from being severed.
• Do not attempt to block a tree until you have an
understanding of all the risks and how to avoid
them. Serious injury could occur to the operator or
bystanders from a blocking tree.
• Follow all instructions when clearing jammed
material, storing or servicing the chainsaw. Make
sure the switch is off and the battery pack is re-
moved. Unexpected actuation of the chainsaw while
clearing jammed material or servicing may result in
serious personal injury.
