4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your applica-
tion. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentaIly.
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 oper-
ate 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 Iikely 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
32
power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a haz-
ardous situation.
5) 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.
6) CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS:
a) 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 white operating
chain saws may cause entanglement
of your clothing or body with the saw
chain.
b) 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.
c) Wear safety glasses and hear-
ing protection. Further protective
equipment for head, hands, legs
and feet is recommended. Adequate
protective clothing will reduce personal
injury by flying debris or accidentaI
contact with the saw chain.
d) Do not operate a chain saw in a
tree. Operation of a chain saw white
up in a tree may result in personal in
jury.
e) Always keep proper footing and
operate the chain saw only when
