Cordless 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conguration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 con-

tact 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.

4. Wear safety glasses and hearing protection.

Further protective equipment for head, hands,

legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protec-

tiveclothingwillreducepersonalinjurybyying

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 xed, 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bres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. When transporting or storing the chain

saw always t 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 ten-

sioning 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 pur-

poses 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.

13. 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 incor-

rect operating procedures or conditions and can be

avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

•

Maintain a rm grip, with thumbs and

ngers 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 con-

trolled by the operator, if proper precautions

are taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.

►Fig.1

• Do not overreach and do not cut above

shoulder height. This helps prevent unin-

tended tip contact and enables better control

of the chain saw in unexpected situations.

• Only use replacement bars and chains

specied 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.

14. Before starting work, check that the chain

saw is in proper working order and that its

condition complies with the safety regulations.

Check in particular that:

• The chain brake is working properly;

• The run-down brake is working properly;

• Thebarandthesprocketcoveraretted

correctly;

• The chain has been sharpened and ten-

sioned in accordance with the regulations.

15. Do not start the chain saw with the chain cover

being installed on it. Starting the chain saw with

the chain cover being installed on it may cause

the chain cover to thrown out forward resulting in

personalinjuryanddamagetoobjectsaroundthe

operator.

16. Avoid dangerous environment. Don't use the

tool in damp or wet locations or expose it to

rain. Water entering the tool will increase the

risk of electric shock.

17. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a re. The

cell may explode. Check with local codes for

possible special disposal instructions.

18. Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies).

Released electrolyte is corrosive and may

cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be

toxic if swallowed.

19. Do not charge battery in rain, or in wet

locations.
