General power tool safety warnings

Oil the chain regularly. It is highly recommended to use oil for blades.
For timber or very hard materials, cut over 6 inches.
Tighten the chain.
If you use the tool for a long time and it gets hot, stop.
Do not use the tool for unintended purposes.
Do not leave gloves near any plastic surface. The gloves may be burnt at high temperatures.

Work area safety

Keep the work area clean and well lit. Dark or cluttered areas could lead to accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids or fumes, gases or dust. Power tools could create sparks which may ignite the gases or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance while operating the power tool.

Electrical safety

Make sure that power tool plugs match the outlet. Do not ever modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed power tools. Using unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded materials or objects, such as radiators, pipes, ranges and refrigerators. There is an tremendous risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or any other wet conditions. Water entering a power tool could increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the power cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the electric tool. Keep the cord in a safe distance from heat, oil, sharp edges and any moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords will increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating an electric power tool outdoors, use an extension cable which has the appropriate specifications for outdoor use. Use of a an extension cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location cannot be avoided, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the power tool. Do not use the power tool if you are feeling tired or are under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the power tool may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, hearing protection, non-skid safety shoes or protective helmets, used in appropriate conditions will reduce the risk of sustaining personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the power switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the power tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the power switch or connecting power tools that have the switch in the on position to a power source can lead to accidents.
Remove any adjusting keys or wrenches before turning on the power tool. An adjusting key or a wrench left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep balance and proper footing at all times. This helps the operator have 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 any moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery and/or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If there are devices for dust extraction and collection, make sure they are connected and used correctly. Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
Do not let the familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety rules. One careless action can cause serious injury in a split second.

Power tool use and care

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for the each application. The correct power tool will always do the job better and safer when used as intended.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn activate or deactivate it. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is extremely dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the main plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before changing accessories, making any adjustments, or storing the power tool. Such preventive safety measures will reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
When the power tool is not in use, store it out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to use and operate the power tool. Power tools are extremely dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain the power tool. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, leakage and any other issue that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents and injuries are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep the cutting parts of the power tool sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are more precise and easier to control.
Always use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with the instructions of this instruction manual, taking into account the working conditions and the work that is to be performed. Use of the power tool for applications different from those intended could result in personal injury or cause damage to the power tool.
Keep the handles and any grasping surfaces of the power tool dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling of the tool in unexpected circumstances.

Battery tool use and care

Recharge the batteries only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is used to charge unsuitable batteries can create a risk of fire.
Use the power tool only with the specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
When the 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 contacts eyes, seek medical help immediately. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may not function as intended, resulting in fire or explosion.
Do not expose a battery pack to fire or excessive temperatures. Exposure to fire or temperatures above 130°C may cause an explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack outside 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.
