4. Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. 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
controlled 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 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 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
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 intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handle dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR CHAIN SAW.

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.

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.

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.

Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation 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, asecure 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 toward 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 accidental contact with the moving saw chain.

Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned
or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
