• When operating a power tool 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 a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a

supply. Use of GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Personal Safety
4.3
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
• Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
that the switch is in the off- position
before connecting to power source and/
or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energizing power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
• A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure that these are connected and
properly used.
• Use of dust devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
5. Chain saw safety warnings
• 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 that 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 chain.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not operate a chain saw in a tree.
Operation of a chain saw while up in a
tree may result in personal injury.
• 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.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension
be alert for spring back. When the
tension in the wood fibers is released
the spring loaded limb may strike the
operator and/or throw the chain saw out
of control.
• Use extreme caution when cutting brush
and saplings. The slender material may
