or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
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 operate 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 before
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 likely
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.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger
specified by the manufacturer. A
charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with
specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects, like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid
may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) Service
a) 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.
2.2 SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
FOR CHAIN-SAWS AND
ELECTRIC CHAIN-SAWS.
• 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 contacting anything. A moment
of inattention while operating chain
saws may cause entanglement of your
clothing or body with the saw 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 from flying debris
or accidental contact with the saw chain.
• Do not operate chain saw while up 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
loss of balance or control of the chain saw.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension,
be alert of spring back. When the tension
in the wood fibres 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 catch the saw chain and be whipped
toward you or pull you off balance.
• Carry the chain saw by the front handle
with the chain saw switched off and away
from your body. When transporting or
storing 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.
• Follow instructions for lubricating,
chain tensioning and changing
accessories. Improperly tensioned
or lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.
