General safety instructions for

power tools

WARNING! Read all safety direc-

tions and instructions. Omis-

sions in the compliance with safety

directions and instructions can

cause electrical shock, re and/or

severe injuries.

Retain all safety directions and instruc-

tions for future use.

The term “Power Tools” used in the safety

instructions refers to mains-operated

power tools (with power cord) and to bat-

tery-operated power tools (without power

cord).

Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit.

Clutteredordarkareasinviteacci-

dents.

• Do not operate power tools in ex-

plosive atmospheres, such as in

the presence of ammable Iiquids,

gases or dust.Powertoolscreate

sparkswhichmayignitethedustor

fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away

while operating a power tool.Dis-

tractionscancauseyoutolosecon-

trol.

Electrical safety

• Power tool plugs must match the

outlet. Never modify the plug in any

way. Do not use any adapter plugs

with earthed (grounded) power

tools.Unmodiedplugsandmatch-

ingoutletswillreduceriskofelectric

shock

• Avoid body contact with earthed or

grounded surfaces, such as pipes,

radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

Thereisanincreasedriskofelec-

tricshockifyourbodyisearthedor

grounded.

• Do not expose power tools to rain

or wet conditions.Waterentering

apowertoolwillincreasetheriskof

electricshock.

• Ifthepowercableforthisequipmentis

damaged,itmustbereplacedbythe

manufacturer,acustomerserviceagent

ofthesameorasimilarlyqualiedper-

soninordertopreventhazards.

• Laytheextensioncableinsuchaway

thatitwillnotbecaughtbybranches

orsimilarduringsawing.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use

the cord for carrying, pulling or un-

plugging the power tool. Keep cord

away from heat, oil, sharp edges or

moving parts.Damagedorentan-

8

GB IE

tachedtoarotatingpartofthepower

toolmayresultinpersonalinjury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

Thisenablesbettercontrolofthe

powertoolinunexpectedsituations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewellery. Keep your

hair, clothing and gloves away from

moving parts. Looseclothes,jewel-

leryorlonghaircanbecaughtinmov-

ingparts.

• If devices are provided for the con-

nection of dust extraction and col-

lection facilities, ensure these are

connected and properly used.Use

ofdustcollectioncanreducedust-

relatedhazards.

Power tool use and care

• Do not force the power tool. Use

the correct power tool for your ap-

plication.Thecorrectpowertoolwill

dothejobbetterandsaferattherate

forwhichitwasdesigned.

• Do not use the power tool if the

switch does not turn it on and off.

Anypowertoolthatcannotbecontrol-

ledwiththeswitchisdangerousand

mustberepaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the pow-

er source and/or the battery pack

from the power tool before making

any adjustments, changing acces-

sories, or storing power tools.Such

preventivesafetymeasuresreduce

theriskofstartingthepowertoolac-

cidentaIly.

• Store idle power tools out of the

reach of children and do not allow

persons unfamiliar with the power

tool or these instructions to oper-

gledcordsincreasetheriskofelectric

shock.

• When operating a power tool out-

doors, use an extension cord suit-

able for outdoor use.Useofacord

suitableforoutdoorusereducesthe

riskofelectricshock.

• If operating a power tool in a

damp location is unavoidable, use

a residual current device (RCD)

protected supply.UseofanRCD

reducestheriskofelectricshock.Use

asurgeprotectorwithareleasecurrent

of30mAorless.



Personal safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are do-

ing and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use

a power tool while you are tired or

under the inuence of drugs, alco-

hol or medication.Amomentofinat-

tentionwhiteoperatingpowertools

mayresultinseriouspersonalinjury.

• Use personal protective equipment.

Always wear eye protection.Protec-

tiveequipmentsuchasdustmask,

non-skidsafetyshoes,hardhat,or

hearingprotectionusedforappropria

teconditionswillreducepersonalinju-

ries.

• Prevent unintentional starting.

Ensure the switch is in the off-po-

sition before connecting to power

source and/or battery pack, picking

up or carrying the tool.Carrying

powertoolswithyourngeronthe

dangerousinthehandsofuntrained

users.

• 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.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properlymaintainedcuttingtoolswith

• 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differ-

entfromthoseintendedcouldresultin

Service

• Have your power tool serviced by

a qualied repair person using

only identical replacement parts.

Thiswillensurethatthesafetyofthe

powertoolismaintained.

Chain saw safety warnings:

• Keep ail parts of the body away

from the saw chain wh en the chain

saw is operating. Before you start

the chain saw, make sure the saw

chain is not contacting anything.A

momentofinattentionwhiteoperating

chainsawsmaycauseentanglement

ofyourclothingorbodywiththesaw

your right hand on the rear handle

and your left hand on the front

handle.Holdingthechainsawwitha

• Wear safety glasses and hear-

ing protection. Further protective

equipment for head, hands, legs

and feet is recommended.Adequate

protectiveclothingwillreduceperson-

alinjurybyyingdebrisoraccidentaI

• Do not operate a chain saw in a

tree.Operationofachainsawwhite

• Always keep proper footing and

operate the chain saw only when

standing on xed, 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 Iimb that is under

tension be alert for spring back.

Whenthetensioninthewoodbresis

• 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 t the guide bar cover.

Kickbackistheresultoftoolmisuseand/

orincorrectoperatingproceduresor

conditionsandcanbeavoidedbytaking

properprecautionsasgivenbelow:

• Maintain a rm grip, with thumbs

and ngers encircling the chain saw

handles, with both hands on the saw

and position your body and arm to

allow you to resist kickback forces.

Kickbackforcescanbecontrolledbythe

operator,ifproperprecautionsaretaken.

Donotletgoofthechainsaw.

• Do not overreach and do not cut

above shoulder height. Thishelpspre-

ventunintendedtipcontactandenables

bettercontrolofthechainsawinunex-

pectedsituations.

• Only use replacement bars and

chains specied by the manufacturer.

Incorrectreplacementbarsandchains

maycausechainbreakageand/orkick-

back.

• Follow the manufacturer´s sharpen-

ing and maintenance instructions for

the saw chain. Decreasingthedepth

gaugeheightcanleadtoincreasedkick-

back.

• Follow instructions for lubricating,

chain tensioning and changing ac-

cessories.

 Improperlytensionedorlubricated

chanceforkickback.

• Keep handles dry, clean, and free

from oil and grease.Greasy,oily

handlesareslipperycausinglossof

• Cut wood only. Do not use chain

saw for purposes not intended. For

cutting plastic, masonry or non-

wood building materials.Useofthe
