Chain Saw Safety Warnings; English | 21 - Bosch AKE 30 LI Originalbetriebsanleitung

c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any ad-
justments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
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 operate the pow-
er tool. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many acci-
dents 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 intend-
ed could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger speci-
fied 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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the battery; avoid con-
tact. 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

Keep all parts of the body away from the
saw chain when the motor 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.
Bosch Power Tools
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring. Saw chains con-
tacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
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 configura-
tion increases the risk of personal injury
and should never be done.
Wear safety glasses and hearing protec-
tion. Further protective equipment for
head, hands, legs and feet is recommend-
ed. Adequate protective clothing will re-
duce personal injury by flying debris or ac-
cidental contact with the saw chain.
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Op-
eration of a chain saw while up in a tree
may result in personal injury.
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.
When cutting a limb that is under tension
be alert for spring back. When the tension
in the wood fibres is released the spring
loaded limb may strike the operator and/or
throw the chain saw out of control.
Use extreme caution when cutting brush
and saplings. The slender material may
catch the saw chain and be whipped to-
ward you or pull you off balance.
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 acciden-
tal contact with the moving saw chain.
Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing accessories. Im-
properly tensioned or lubricated chain may
either break or increase the chance for
kickback.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil
and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slip-
pery causing loss of control.
Cut wood only. Don't use chain saw for
purposes not intended. For example: do
not use chain saw for cutting plastic, ma-
sonry or non-wood building materials.
Use of the chain saw for operations differ-
ent than intended could result in a hazard-
ous 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 sud-
den 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
