jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
e
xtraction and collection facilities, ensure these
a
re connected and properly used. Use of these
devices can reduce dust related hazards.
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 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
tools 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 and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Recharge only with the charger specified 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.
S
horting the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fire.
d
) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
c
ontacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
L
iquid 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.
ADDITIONAL GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
Some regions have regulations that restrict the use of
the product. Check with your local authority for
advice.
Never allow children or people unfamiliar with the
instructions to use the product. Local regulations may
restrict the age of the operator.
Ensure before each use that all controls and safety
devices function correctly. Do not use the product if
the “off” switch does not stop the motor.
Wear full eye and hearing protection, strong sturdy
boots and gloves, as well as head protection while
operating the product. Use a face mask if operation is
dusty.
Use of hearing protection reduces the ability to hear
warnings (shouts or alarms). The operator must pay
extra attention to what is going on in the work area.
Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach.
Overreaching can result in loss of balance and can
increase the risk of kickback.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing, short trousers, or
jewellery of any kind.
Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level to
prevent entanglement in moving parts.
Beware of thrown, flying, or falling objects. Keep all
bystanders, children, and animals at least 15 m away
from the work area.
Do not operate in poor lighting. The operator requires
a clear view of the work area to identify potential
hazards.
Operating similar tools nearby increases both the risk
of hearing injury and the potential for other persons to
enter your work area.
Keep all parts of your body away from any moving
part.
Inspect the product before each use. Check for
correct operation of all controls, including the chain
brake. Check for loose fasteners, make sure all guards
and handles are properly and securely attached.
Replace any damaged parts before use.
