General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING

Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failu-re to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-oper-ated (cordless) power tool.

1. Work area safety

   • Keep work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
   • Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
   • Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. 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. Unmodified plugs and matching 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 electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
   • Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
   • Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords incre-ase the risk of electric shock.
   • When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable 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.

3. Personal safety

   • Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
     A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

   • Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

   • Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

   • Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached 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 jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

   • If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4. Power tool use and care

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

11. 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.

12. Service

13. 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.

Safety instructions for chainsaws

• Keep all parts of your body in safe distance from the saw when running. Before starting the saw, make sure the saw chain does not touch anything. A moment of inattention when working with the chainsaw is able to cause the saw chain to catch your clothes or parts of your body.

• Use your right hand to hold the chainsaw by its rear handle and your left hand to hold it by its front handle. Holding the chainsaw the opposite way incre-ases the risk of injury and you must not do that.

• Wear protective glasses and ear protectors. Further, wearing head, hand and leg protection equipment is recommended. Suitable protective clothing minimises the risk of injury by thrown-away wood chips and possible contact with the saw chain.

• Do not work on trees with the chainsaw. There is a risk of injury when working on a tree.

• Provide safe posture at all times and use the chainsaw only when standing on a solid, safe and level surface. A slippery or unstable surface, such as ladder, may lead to loss of balance or loss of control over the chainsaw.

• When cutting a tense branch, be sure to know that the branch will bounce back. If tension in the wood fibres gets released, the tense branch may hit the operator and/or cause a loss of control over the chainsaw.

• Be especially careful when cutting scrubs
  and saplings. Thin material may get caught in the chainsaw and hit you or you may lose your balance.

• Carry the chainsaw by the front handle in a switched-off condition and the saw chain must be deflected from your body. Fit a protection cover on the chainsaw whenever it is transported or stored. Careful chainsaw treatment reduces the likelihood of an accidental contact with the running saw chain.

• Follow the lubrication, chain tension and accessory equipment replacement instructions. A chain that is not tightened or lubricated in a professional manner may crack or increase the risk of backlash.

• Keep the handles dry, clean and with no oil and fat. Handles dirty with fat or oil are slippery and lead to loss of control.

• Wood to be cut only. Do not use the chainsaw for works for which it has not been designed – example: do not use the chainsaw to cut plastic material, masonry or building materials not made of wood. Using the chainsaw for works that are in conflict with the designation may lead to dangerous situations.

Backlash causes and prevention:
Backlash may take place when the saw bar point touches an item or when the wood bends and the saw chain gets stuck in the cutting.
In many cases, a contact with the bar point may lead to a situation when the operator unexpectedly bends backward and the bar is ejected upward toward the operator as a result.
Sticking of the saw chain on the upper edge of the bar may throw the bar intensely off toward the operator.
Each such reaction may lead to losing control over the saw and you may get seriously injured. Do not fully rely on the safety equipment fitted in the chain-saw. As the chainsaw user, you should take various measures to be able to work without any accident and injury.
Backlash is a result of inappropriate or wrong use of the electric tools. It can be prevented by appropriate preventive measures described below:

• Hold the saw firmly with both hands with thumbs and fingers embracing the chainsaw handles. Put your body and hands to such a position in which you are able to resist the backlash. If appropriate measures are taken, the operator may get the backlash under control. Never put the chainsaw out of your hands.
• Avoid abnormal body posture and do not cut above the shoulder level. This will prevent a contact with the bar point and the chainsaw will be controlled better in unexpected situations.
• Spare bars and saw chains specified by the manufacturer to be used at all times. Wrong spare bars and saw chains may lead to chain overloading and/or backlash.
• Follow the saw chain sharpening and servicing instructions of the manufacturer. Too low depth limiters increase the risk of backlash.
