electrical hazards, tripping hazards,
and potential sources of body
entanglement.

electrical safety

• charger plugs must match the outlet.
never modify the plug in any way. do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) charger. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce the risk of
electric shock.
• avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
• accidental splashing of water against
the chainsaw from any direction will
present no harmful shock or hazard to
the operator.
• do not abuse the cord. never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the charger. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• While operating the charger outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• if operating the charger in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a ground
fault circuit interrupter (gFci)
protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces
the risk of electric shock.
