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 terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contact eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion
or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool 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 tool out-
side 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 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.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHAINSAW
Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chainsaw is
operating. Before you start the chainsaw, make sure that the saw chain is not
contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating chainsaws may
cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the chain.
Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left
hand on the front handle. Holding the chainsaw with a reversed hand configuration
increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done.
Hold the chainsaw 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 chainsaw “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
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 sawchain.
Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree, on a ladder, from a rooftop, or any unstable
support. Operation of a chainsaw in this manner could result in serious personal
injury.
Always keep proper footing and operate the chainsaw only when standing on fixed,
secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance
or control of the chainsaw.
