NEUTON Battery-Powered Chain Saw -
Safety & Operating Instructions
3
Protecting Yourself and Those around You
• Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the Saw and the activity of
cutting. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
• When felling a tree, keep everyone a safe distance from the cutting area. During felling operations, the safe distance should be at least twice
the height of the largest trees in the felling area. If the tree makes contact with any utility line, notify the utility company immediately.
• If the tree starts to fall in the wrong direction, or if the Saw is caught or hung up during the fall, leave the Saw and save yourself.
• Only allow responsible individuals who have a thorough understanding of these instructions to operate the Saw. Never allow children to
operate the tool.
• If you are ever unsure about an action you are about to take, please do not do it.
Dressing Appropriately
• Always wear protective goggles or safety glasses with side shields that are marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 standard when using your
NEUTON Battery-Powered Chain Saw to protect against thrown chips.
• We recommend the use of ear protectors or earplugs rated for at least 20 DBA to protect your hearing.
• Wear shoes with non-slip treads when using the Saw. If you have safety shoes, wear them. Do not use the Saw while barefoot or wearing
sandals with exposed toes or heels.
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair and avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry, which can catch on the Saw’s chain.
• We recommend wearing long pants and non-slip rubber gloves while using this Saw. Be sure the gloves fit properly and do not have loose
cuffs or drawstrings.
Preparing to Use Your Chain Saw
Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the Saw and in the manual. Be thoroughly familiar with the control and the proper use of the
Saw before starting.
Operating Your Chain Saw Safely
• If the Saw jams on any electrical cord or line, DO NOT TOUCH THE BAR OR CHAIN, THEY CAN BECOME ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND VERY
DANGEROUS. Safely disconnect the damaged electrical cord or line from its power source. If possible, do so safely. If in doubt, call an
electrician or an electrical contractor for assistance. Failure to heed this DANGER will result in death or serious personal injury.
• This Saw can sever body parts! Keep hands and feet away from the Chain and always keep both hands on the Handles when using the Saw.
• Do not use your NEUTON Battery-Powered Chain Saw for any job other than the intended use.
• Avoid unintentional starting - never carry the NEUTON Battery-Powered Chain Saw with your finger on the ON/OFF Trigger.
• Never use the Guard as a handle; this could result in a serious personal injury.
• Remove the Battery Pack when inspecting or cleaning material from the Saw.
• Never pick up or hold the Saw by the cutting Chain.
• Be aware that the cutting Chain coasts to a stop after releasing the ON/OFF Trigger; it does not stop immediately.
• Do not operate the Saw in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors in these tools normally spark, and the sparks might ignite fumes.
• Do not operate the Saw while in a tree, on a ladder or on a scaffold.
