trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the pow-
er source and/or the battery pack
from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing acces-
sories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool ac-
cidentaIly.
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 oper-
ate 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 be-
fore 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 Iikely 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 differ-
ent from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.

by a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
6) CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS:

may cause entanglement of your cloth-
ing or body with the saw chain.
b) 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.
c) Wear safety glasses and hear-
ing protection. Further protective
equipment for head, hands, legs
and feet is recommended. Adequate
protective clothing will reduce per-
sonal injury by flying debris or acci-
dentaI contact with the saw chain.
d) Do not operate a chain saw in a
tree. Operation of a chain saw white
up in a tree may result in personal in
jury.
e) Always keep proper footing and
operate the chain saw only when
standing on fixed, secure and level
surface. Slippery or unstable sur-
faces such as ladders may cause a
loss of balance or control of the chain
saw.
f)
When cutting a Iimb that is under
tension be alert for spring back.
