e ) Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool
in unexpected situations.
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.
e ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause explosion.
g ) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
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.
b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer
or authorized service providers.
General Chain Saw Safety Warnings
WARNING: Additional safety warnings
for chainsaws.
a ) Follow all instructions when clearing jammed
material, storing or servicing the chain saw. Make
sure the switch is off and the battery pack is removed.
Unexpected actuation of the chain saw while clearing
the jammed material or servicing may result in serious
personal injury.
b ) 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.
c ) 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.
d ) Hold the chain saw 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 chain saw "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
e ) Wear eye protection. Further protective equipment
for hearing, head, hands, legs and feet is recommended.
Adequate protective equipment will reduce personal injury
from flying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
f ) Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder, from
a rooftop, or any unstable support. Operation of a chain
saw in this manner could result in serious personal injury.
g ) Always keep proper footing and operate the chain
saw only when standing on fixed, secure and level
surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of
balance or control of the chain saw.
h ) 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.
i ) 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.
j ) Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the
chain saw switched off, brake set and away from your
body. When transporting or storing the chain saw
always fit the guide bar scabbard. Proper handling of the
chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with
the moving saw chain.
k ) Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning
and changing the bar and chain. Improperly tensioned
or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance
for kickback.
l ) Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not
intended. For example: do not use chain saw for cutting
plastic, masonry or non‑wood building materials. Use
of the chain saw for operations different than intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
m ) Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have an
understanding of the risks and how to avoid them.
Serious injury could occur to the operator or bystanders while
felling a tree.
