Do not expose a battery pack or machine to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to
fire or temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or machine
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.
Service
Have your machine serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts . This will ensure that the safety of the machine is maintained.
Never service damaged battery packs . Service of battery packs should only be performed
by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
General 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 that 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 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) 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 machine "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) 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.
g) 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.
h) 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.
i)
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 fit the guide bar
cover . Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact
with the moving saw chain.
j)
Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories .
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for
kickback.
k) Cut wood only . Do not use chain saw for purposes not intended . For example:
do not use chain saw for cutting metal, plastic, masonry or non-wood building
materials . Use of the chain saw for operations different than intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
l)
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.
