less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, 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.
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.
CHAIN SAW SAFETY
WARNINGS
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Saw chains
contacting a live wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool live and could give the operator an
electric shock.
4. 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.
5. Do not operate a Chain saw in a tree.
Operation of
a Chain saw while up in a tree may result in personal
injury.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Carry the Chain saw by the front handle with the
Chain saw switched off and away from your body.
W
hen transporting or storing the Chain saw always
apply the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the Chain
saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact
with the moving saw chain.
10. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing accessories.
Improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.
11. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease.
Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss
of control.
12. 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.
CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF KICKBACK
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar
touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches
the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse
reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the
operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may
push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of
the saw which could result in serious personal injury. Do
not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your
saw. As a Chain saw user, you should take several steps to
keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below:
- Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the Chain saw handles, with both
hands on the saw and position your body and arm
to allow you to resist kickback forces.
Kickback
forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper
precautions are taken. Do not let go of the Chain saw.
- Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder
height.
This helps prevent unintended tip contact and
enables better control of the Chain saw in unexpected
situations.
- Only use
replacement bars and chains specified
by the manufacturer.
Incorrect replacement
bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or
kickback.
- Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR
BATTERY PACK
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or battery
pack.
