g) If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection fa-
cilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-
rect power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was de-
signed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be re-
paired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, 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 unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these in-
structions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tool's op-
eration. 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. Prop-
erly 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 in-
structions, taking into account the work-
ing conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.

5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qual-
ified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Chain Saw Safety Warnings
Keep all parts of the body away from the
saw chain when the motor is operating. Be-
fore you start the chain saw, make sure the
saw chain is not in contact with anything. A
moment of inattention while operating chain
saws may cause entanglement of your cloth-
ing 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.
Wear safety glasses and hearing protection.
Further protective equipment for head,
hands, legs and feet is recommended. Ade-
quate protective clothing will reduce person-
al injury by flying debris or accidental contact
with the saw chain.
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Oper-
ation of a chain saw while up in a tree may re-
sult in personal injury.
Always keep proper footing and operate the
chain saw only when standing on fixed, se-
cure 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 it to spring back. When the ten-
sion 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 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.
