by a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
7 SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
POLE CHAIN SAWS
a) 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 con-
tacting anything. A moment of
inattention while operating chain
saws may cause entanglement
of your clothing or body with the
saw chain.
b) Hold the electric power tool by
the insulated handle surfaces, as
the saw chain may contact hid-
den wiring. If the saw chain comes
into contact with a live line, metal-
lic parts of the unit may become
energised and cause an electric
shock.
c) Wear safety glasses and hear-
ing protection. Further protec-
tive 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.
d) Do not work with the chain saw
in a tree. When operating the
chain saw in a tree, there is a risk
of injury.
e) Always keep proper footing and
operate the chain saw only when
standing on fixed, secure and
level surface. Slippery or unsta-
ble 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 fi-
bres is released the spring loaded
limb may strike the operator and/
or throw the chain saw out of con-
trol.
g) Use extreme caution when cut-
ting brush and saplings. The slen-
der material may catch the saw
FOR
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 stor-
ing 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.
i) Follow instructions for lubri-
cating,
chain
changing accessories. Improp-
erly tensioned or lubricated chain
may either break or increase the
chance for kickback.
j) Keep the handles dry, clean and
free of oil and grease. Greasy and
oily handles are slippery and will
cause loss of control.
k) Saw wood only. Do not use the
chain saw for work for which it is
not designed.
Example: Do not use the chain
saw for sawing plastic, masonry
or non-wood building materials.
If the chain saw is not used as in-
tended, this may result in hazard-
ous situations.
l) Use the power tool in accordance
with the national regulations
only.
